Little Wolf

"Lou, come on darling, you need to tell us what happened exactly and what the betas looked like" Harry says

Louis has been sleeping and taking pain relief the last few days, the boys have been doing their best to always have someone with him.

It's Thursday before Louis is feeling a little better and Harry and Scott are both at the boy's place, looking after Louis for the afternoon. Louis has become very clingy to them both and restless when they aren't around, he's been texting them nonstop and they both love that Louis is finally giving in to his omega more.

They are in the kitchen trying to get Louis to talk to them and eat some food, which is proving to be very difficult

Louis is sitting on the bar stool while Harry and Scott lean over the bench in front of him while they talk.

"I don't remember Harry, please just leave it" Louis begs

"We can't do that Louis; we need to protect our omega" Scott says gently

"Well, if I can't remember than I can't remember, so I can't do anything about that" Louis says

It's that moment when Harry and Scott realise that Louis is lying and he's hiding something. They look at each other, knowing they will have to talk together about it later

They both sigh

"Okay, well maybe it will take a few more days to remember" Harry says

"Now come on, let's eat some more lunch, you're fading away and we definitely aren't letting that go" Scott says pointedly

"I'm not hungry" Louis says

"Little Wolf, as your alphas we are asking you to eat" Harry says

"You're not my alphas" Louis says

"Louis" Scott says as a gentle warning

"And even if you were, you can't just make me eat if I don't want to" Louis says

"Ohhh darling, we absolutely can, and you know that, but we would hope that you would do the right thing and eat yourself" Scott says pointedly, Louis sighs at their controlling alpha behavior.

Louis picks up a piece of his apple and nibbles it slowly, the boys thankful he's listening to them.

"Lou, we need to have a chat about tomorrow night" Harry says, now that he's happy Louis is eating something

"I'm still coming to your place, right?" Louis asks, he absolutely won't admit it, but he's been craving Harry and Scott and being around them and their smells, spending time with them. He's been looking forward to their weekend together

The boys look at each other

"Well, we've had something come up, a business meeting we can't move, would you mind if we moved it to Saturday" Harry asks

"Oh, um sure I guess, I don't even have to come over, we can wait until next week, I'm still sore anyway so maybe we should just leave it" Louis says

Inside he's about to break, he feels his entire chest tighten and he tries his hardest to hold in his tears and disappointment

"No please, we would love you to come Saturday, but of course if you're still sore you don't have too, how about we check in Friday night after our meeting" Scott says

"Sure" Louis says quietly

He ends up just playing with his food and not eating and Harry and Scott feel terrible, but they can't get out of this meeting tomorrow night.
