Shape Shift Ch.3 part 2

His left hand slid underneath my knees, his right behind my neck. He pulled himself into a standing position, giving a small jump to reassure his grasp on me. His foot pushed open the door to the living room, and he set me down on the leather sofa much softer than the usual mid air drop I recieved from Joe.

"So," Nick started, digging into the compartment below the TV. "School for Scoundrels or Transformers?"

"Stupid question." Kevin's voice came lightly from the doorway. "Transformers."
I smiled up at him as he sat down next to me.
"Couldn't sleep?" He asked.
"Well I could,"
I pointed down to Nick, whose lime green tank top clashed by every definition of the word with his orange plaid PJ's as he put the movie in the DVD player.
"But he couldn't."
Kevin gave an understanding head nod, letting his contagious chuckle escape his lips.

As the first preview wound down, the living room door was pushed open once again to Joe, four Red Bulls in his hands.
He tossed one to each of us, sliding onto the the couch without a word.
"How did you know we were in here, dude?" Kevin gestured to the energy drink he'd just took a swig of.
"I didn't." Joe diverted his eyes from the plasma screen to his older brother. "But you guys ended up being in here, so I decided to share."

Nick nearly spit out his liquid adrenaline, trying to contain his laughter and amazement. "You were going to drink four?"
"Yeah." He shrugged. "No big deal." A smile spread across his face. "Nah, I'm just kidding! I couldn't sleep, and I heard you wake Brenna up. I need to pee really bad too, but.."
"The toilet doesn't work." We all said it together, grimacing at the thought, before bursting into explosive laughter at the looks on our faces.

"Shhh!" Kevin scowled only seconds have he had composed himself. "We're going to wake everyone else up."
I glanced down at the digital clock on the DVD player: 3:22.
"And it is wayyyy past you guys' bedtime."

"Rockstars don't sleep."
Joe stood to do a random and wild headbang, his hair flailing along with the Red Bull that had filled his cheeks to the brim.
Kevin covered his eyes, the sight being too much for him as I was consumed in a fight of giggles.
Nick stared bewildered up at Joe.
"So they look like epileptic chipmunks?"

Right then, I knew I had picked the absolute wrong time to chug the rest of my drink.
My laughter caused me to choke, which caused the need to gasp for air, which ultimately led to yellowish liquid spewing from my nose and mouth, all over Kevin.

The room went silent, and all eyes plastered to Kevin as he took a minute to wipe the drink from his eyes, shaking it from his hair.
"And to think, all I did was sit here with my mouth shut."
His face stayed solemn, as we looked apologetic.
"Kevin, I'm so sorry!" I grabbed a hoodie of Joe's that he had left behind the night before, dabbed at Kevin's chest with it.
"Hey!" Joe shouted. "It's not going to stain his skin!" He snatched the garment from my hands. "But it WILL stain my clothes!"

Kevin's laugh started quiet and low, as he looked around the sofa at each of us. The further along he got, the louder the volume of his laugh got, until he was bent over, holding his stomach.
