This is just OT4 cuddles. There's not much else to it. Sequel/companion to a bit fairytale as promised. Unbeta'd. These boys are (sadly) not mine.
When Kendall opens his eyes he’s sprawled on his back under a darkened sky and he’s soaking wet, his suit clinging to him all over.
“Why am I wet?” he asks aloud. “And did I win prom king?”
“Mr. Taylor dumped you in there when he was finished. Logan was prom king.” Katie’s face hovers over him. “Nice to see you alive, big brother.”
“At least it wasn’t James.”
“He was prom queen.”
“Huh. Didn’t see that coming.” Kendall struggles into a sitting position and finds that he’s on a chair by the Palmwoods pool. It’s just Katie and him and some vaguely familiar black-clad lump two chairs away. The movement jars him and he starts coughing, the taste of chlorine filling his mouth.
Katie watches him patiently and then hands him a pink smoothie. “This should make you feel better.”
“Cool.” Kendall takes a few sips and mumbles some grateful noises at his sister. “What time is it?”
Katie checks her phone. “Two-thirty.”
Kendall’s eyes narrow as he stares out at the empty pool area. “Where’d you get the smoothie then?”
“The smoothie place on the corner is open 24 hours. I thought you guys would be there all the time.”
“I guess not.” Kendall’s head is starting clear up and most of the night’s events are repeating in slow motion. He shivers. “Did you know that Jo’s dad is in the CIA? And that he used to be a marine?”
“Well, duh. Doesn’t everyone?”
“No!” Kendall exclaims. “I sure didn’t.”
Katie shrugs. “He offered to let me be his apprentice, but I’m still considering it. You goons could probably use all of the help you can get.” Her face brightens. “Speaking of which, what exactly did he do to you? He was a little sketchy on the details because he wanted to get back to Jo, but he did say you’d learned your lesson.”
“There was a lot of yelling. And stories, and medals, and...” Kendall shudders. “The crying was the worst part. I’m never going to get over that.”
Katie’s nose wrinkles. “Why was he crying?”
“He wasn’t. I was.” Kendall sighs. “I’d really rather not talk about it. I was so scared that I sent Logan a text offering James my black jacket if I die.”
Katie gasps. “You love that jacket.”
“Mm-huh.” He grumpily fingers the tear in his right sleeve. “And now I won’t be able to return my suit.”
Katie reassuringly pats Kendall’s shoulder while he drinks more of the smoothie. “It’s okay. I’m sure Jo won’t mind dating someone who’s scared of her father. Well, if she’s ever allowed to date again.”
“Thanks, Katie. That helps a lot.”
“Anytime.”
“Is that guy dead?” Kendall gestures to the other occupied chair. “He hasn’t moved since I woke up.”
“Oh, that’s Carlos. The Jennifers finished, uh, playing with him just after you got dropped off. Don’t worry, I was making sure he stayed alive.”
Her words are punctuated by Carlos sputtering as he opens his eyes. “Why am I wet? And did I win prom king?”
“The Jennifers. And Logan won.” Kendall stands up and his foot hits something solid. He looks down and sees Carlos’s helmet and picks it up. He walks over and drops it on Carlos’s head before handing him the half-finished smoothie. “This’ll help.”
“Logan? Not James?” “James was apparently prom queen.”
Carlos nods. “And I bet he’s a really good one, too.”
Katie shakes her head and stands up. “Now that you two are alive and well and sharing brains once again, I’m obviously not needed anymore. I’m going to figure out a new way to mess with Bitters.” She disappears into the hotel as Carlos slurps up the rest of the smoothie, tossing the empty cup into a nearby trash can.
“I guess we should go home and get some sleep.” Kendall reaches out for Carlos’s hand and pulls him to his feet. “Logan and James are probably worried.”
Carlos pulls his phone out of his pocket with a groan. “It got wet. And Gustavo said he won’t replace anymore phones that I ruin.”
“We’ll figure out a plan.” Kendall rests his hands on Carlos’s hips and steers him to the elevator. “Gustavo never says no to us.”
Carlos nods sleepily and punches the elevator button, relaxing into Kendall’s hold. “Tonight was fun. Except for the getting wet part, and losing prom king, and being tortured.” His face turns into a frown. “Maybe fun wasn’t the right word.”
“We survived,” Kendall says with a shrug. “There’s always that.”
They’re silent for the elevator ride and the walk down the hall. Carlos begins stripping his suit off as soon as they’re in the living room, dropping his drenched jacket to the floor with a sigh of relief. “Much better.” Carlos continues down to his room and his face lights up when he sees that it’s empty. “James isn’t here! I don’t have to fight him for the top bunk!”
Kendall nods and pats him on the shoulder. “‘Night then.” He goes to his room and he turns the light on just long enough to illuminate the tangle of bodies on Logan’s bed.
“Kendall?” Logan mumbles. “You alive?”
“I’m alive.” Kendall pulls off all of his suit and then pulls off his underwear when he realizes that it’s still wet as well. He stumbles naked in the dark, grabbing helplessly for some boxers before finally giving up and flipping the light on again.
James groans into Logan’s shoulder. “Does this mean I can’t have your jacket?”
“If the queen asks nicely I might be willing to loan it to him.”
“Queens shouldn’t have to ask for things.”
Carlos pops his head in to the room. “Kendall, do you think Ja- hey, James is in here. It’s not fair if I have to be by myself.”
Kendall nods and motions for Carlos to come in. “Then help me move the bed.” He and Carlos stand at each end of Kendall’s bed and push it until it’s flush against Logan’s. Carlos then leaps onto it and presses himself against James’s back.
“Turn the light off,” James growls.
“Right.” Kendall reaches over to drag his hand up Logan’s leg, drawing a contented smile from him, and then turns off the light before flopping into bed next to Carlos.
“You guys smell like chlorine.” Logan sniffs the air. “And smoothies. Pink ones.”
“Katie says the smoothie place around the corner is open 24 hours now.”
“Really?” James’s voice perks up as he lifts his head. “Can we go now?”
Kendall reaches over Carlos to push James back down, leaving his hand to stroke through his hair once he’s settled. “Sleep now. Smoothies later.”
“Promise?”
“Promise.”
“Good night, everyone.” James mutters. “I love my fairy godmother.”
Kendall decides not to ask.
