He had never third-wheeled this much before. As soon as they reached the pizza place Liam and Zayn were lost in conversation seemingly forgetting about him and Harry. He was happy for Liam but he put him on the spot here. He couldn't date his boss. That wasn't in the cards for him if he wanted to keep this job and considering how difficult it had been to find a job he couldn't be stupid and fall for his boss.

Harry tried to talk to him and he replied without showing interest. Doing his best at least. Why did his new boss have to be a fucking gorgeous alpha his age? He had been better off with an old lady. No temptation whatsoever.

After the pizza, they headed to the cinema and Louis was relieved. They could just watch the movie in silence and go home afterward.

Unfortunately, there were two things he hadn't foreseen. One, that his best mate would make out with a guy he just met like a horny teenager. Two, that a movie about an alien would be so fucking sad. He cried while he tried to ignore the reak of alpha testosterone coming from his best friend. Geez. He twisted uncomfortably in his seat. He had no interest in Liam at all but he had just come out from his heat and he was sensitive.

Harry didn't try and talk to him. He handed him a handkerchief though and Louis wiped his eyes and whispered a "Thank you."

"No problem." Harry whispered back.

Their shoulders were touching and Louis felt like he was burning up. Liam would be hearing about this when they were alone. How could he put him in this situation just because he wanted to make out with a cute omega? Not cool.

The film finally ended and Harry had to shake Zayn's shoulder to get them to break free. They headed outside. Louis stopped in front of his car and waited for Liam to say goodbye to Zayn. Harry came over.
"Great movie."

"Fucking sad!" Louis muttered.

"Yeah, uhm, Louis? Have I done setting to offend you?" Harry asked.

"Of course not!" Louis replied.

"Oh, okay, it's just... You've been acting kind of weird." Harry shrugged.

"Just keeping me distance to me boss, you know what I mean?" Louis replied and stared him directly in the eyes.

"Message received. I'll see you tomorrow at work. Don't be late." Harry replied, sounding cold.

With that he turned around and walked away, dragging Zayn with him. Louis sighed. Liam came over with a goofy smile and got in the car. Louis got in the driver's seat and turned to his friend.
"What the hell were you thinking dragging me out for dinner and a movie with me boss?"

Liam looked surprised.
"What? I didn't think it was a problem. You like him!"

"I can't like me boss if I wanna keep me job. Damn it, Liam!" Louis argued upset. He was mostly angry at himself but took it out on his best friend.

Liam looked unhappy.
"I'm sorry but can you be a little excited for my sake? I just found my soulmate."

Louis' mouth fell open. He stared at his friend in disbelief.
"What? Zayn? You just met him. You can't possibly know that."

"But I do." Liam smiled happily.

"How?" Louis questioned.

"It's just a feeling. I can't explain it, really. It's an alpha thing I guess. My inner alpha just connects to his inner omega in a way I've never experienced before. He's the one." Liam answered with certainty.

"Shit! Congratulations. I'm happy for you." Louis smiled. He wasn't angry anymore. Finding your soulmate was a big deal. He wondered... No. He couldn't go there.

What happens next?
I promise that I read all of your suggestions and try to fit them into the story (even if I can't fit them all) but I also have to follow the natural progression of the story. They might not be there yet. ♥️
