Rollerskate Love

Suggested by larrysgocrazy

Two weeks went by so fast. Louis showed up at the Dome every day whether he was working or not to practice roller skating with Harry. Niall continued to tease them by playing love songs whenever they were on the track. I Wanna Know What Love Is was currently blasting through the speakers but Louis had learned to ignore Niall's song choices.

He was getting pretty good at skating if he may say so himself. He would never be an Olympic skater like Niall but at least he didn't fall on his ass anymore and he could skate forward and backward. When people started to arrive they got off the track.
"Let's talk in my office." Harry said.

Louis immediately got nervous and his inner omega felt unsettled.
"Relax, Louis." Harry said.

Louis knew that it was an alpha thing but it bothered him a little that Harry was so in tune with his inner omega. It was private.

They headed to the office and Harry gestured for him to take a seat.
"So, your two weeks are up and I just wanna say that I think that you're doing a great job. You can actually skate now." Harry said and looked amused.

"I'm sorry that I lied to you." Louis apologized.

"I understand why." Harry said and picked up a paper and placed it in front of him.
"A new contract."

"I can work here?" Louis questioned.

"If you want to." Harry smiled.

"Yes! Thank you." Louis said excitedly.

"It's a standard contract but you should read it before you sign it." Harry said.

Louis picked it up and skimmed through it. He couldn't find anything weird so he grabbed a pen and signed it before Harry could change his mind. He glanced at the clock. Liam was picking him up. Harry noticed.
"I'll see you tomorrow."

Louis smiled and got up. Harry followed him downstairs. Louis saw Liam and waved before he hurried over. Then he remembered something. He turned around to face his boss.
"Ehm, Harry? I have me heat next week. I hope that's okay?" He asked and blushed. Talking about his heat felt intimate.

"Of course!" Harry replied.

"Do you want me to help you through your heat?" Liam asked behind him and Louis noticed how Harry's facial expression changed. He looked pissed.

He reacted spontaneously.
"Eeew, absolutely not, Liam! Why would you even suggest that?"

Liam smirked and looked at Harry. He seemed very amused. Louis rolled his eyes at him and grabbed his arm.
"We're going. Bye, Harry!"

He scolded his best friend as they left the building.
"Stop being gross!"

"Did you see the look on his face? Hilarious!" Liam laughed.

"You know how important this job is to me. Stop pissing off me boss!" Louis muttered.

"I'm sorry but it's funny. He likes you." Liam smiled.

"No, he doesn't!" Louis protested but he blushed crimson red.

Liam didn't push it and Louis was thankful for that.

Two days later he went into heat and spent five days fantasizing about his boss. When he returned to work after his heat was over he felt ashamed of his horny thoughts. Harry greeted him and inhaled sharply.
"No, no. That won't do."

"What?" Louis questioned.

"I can smell your post-heat. You can't be out on the track today. It's not safe. Uhm, you can help me do inventory today, alright?" Harry said.

"Okay." Louis agreed.

They headed to the storage and Louis helped count boxes with hamburger buns and ketchup bottles. Harry seemed off. After repeatedly glancing at him, Louis decided to finally address it.
"Are you angry at me today?"

"What? No!" Harry immediately replied.

"Okay." Louis said.

Harry sighed and dragged a hand through his hair.
"It's just... My stupid inner alpha is reacting to your post-heat scent. Don't worry about it. I can control myself."

"Oh." Louis said and blushed.

"I'm sorry. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable." Harry apologized.

"I'm not!" Louis gulped and took a step back, tripping over a box of napkins.

Before he could land on his ass Harry grabbed him to steady him.
"Oops!"

Louis realized how close they were and looked up at Harry breathlessly.
"Hi."

He had no idea why he said that. Stupid reply. They stared at each other. The atmosphere changed. Louis could smell Harry's arousal. He couldn't move. He didn't want to move. His inner omega was screaming at him to kiss the alpha in front of him. His eyes flickered to Harry's lips. Had Harry come closer?
"Harry?" Someone shouted outside the storage room.

Harry took a step back.
"In here, Zayn!" He shouted back.

Louis tried to collect himself. What just happened? Was he about to kiss his boss? No, no, no. He needed this job. He couldn't get involved with the one paying his salary.

What happens next?
