"Niall! I got the keys!" Louis grinned as he came rushing inside the roller skate place to start his shift.

"Congratulations! Your own place. How does it feel?" Niall smiled.

"Awesome. I'm moving in tomorrow on me day off." Louis replied excitedly.

"Alright. Will Liam help you move your stuff?" Niall asked.

"Uhm, no. I haven't asked him." Louis shrugged.

"Why not?" Niall questioned.

In the corner of his eye, he noticed Harry approach them.
"He's busy hanging out with Zayn. If finding your soulmate makes you a crappy best friend I hope I never find mine." Louis huffed.

"We have to be a little patient. They'll come around eventually. I'm happy for them." Harry said.

"So am I. I just miss me best friend." Louis sighed.

"Yeah, me too. Niall and I can help you move if you want to." Harry offered.

A month had gone by since that disastrous pizza and movie hang out and Louis had tried his best to keep a professional distance between him and Harry and it hadn't been difficult at all. Harry had mostly been in his office.
"You don't have to do that." Louis protested.

"Okay." Harry immediately agreed. Why did he look sad?

"Nonsense. You can't move all your stuff by yourself. We'll help you." Niall said.

"Ehm, alright. If you really want to." Louis agreed. He glanced at Harry.

Harry shrugged his shoulders.
"That's up to you."

"If it's too much to ask..." Louis said. He didn't like how awkward a conversation with Harry was nowadays.

"Oh, for fucks sake, we'll help. End of discussion." Niall said, sounding frustrated.

"Okay, thanks. I would really appreciate it." Louis smiled.

Harry just nodded his head and walked away. Louis gave him a long look before he put his skates on. He was getting really good at skating and he loved it.

Niall joined him and started to teach him how to do a pirouette. Louis laughed the whole time. An hour later they had made a routine to Take My Breath Away by Berlin. Suddenly Harry showed up.
"I'm not paying you to act out a scene from Flashdance!"

"Relax, we're just having fun." Niall said.

Harry stormed off and Louis felt unhappy.
"He's in a crappy mood." Niall snorted.

"Yeah, I don't know why he..." Louis started off but Niall's laugh interrupted him.

"Oh, I have an idea." Niall grinned and wiggled his eyebrows.

Louis ignored him and took off skating making sure to keep an eye on the other skaters. Alphas didn't bother him anymore. He found that surprising but he didn't complain. It made his job much easier.

The next day Niall and Harry showed up at his mum's place before the Roller Skate rink opened to help him move. To his surprise, Liam and Zayn were with them as well. Louis said a frosty hello to his best friend. Liam sighed and pulled him to the side.
"Why didn't you call me?"

"I don't know. Maybe because you've been fucking AWOL and totally ignored me since you met Zayn." Louis snorted and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Louis. Finding my soulmate has been intense, but I'm here now and I promise to make time for you from now on. I've missed you." Liam said.

Louis didn't want to let him off the hook that easily.
"You've been a lousy best friend. How did you know I'm moving today anyway?"

"Harry called us. I said I'm sorry." Liam pouted.

Louis couldn't stay angry at him. He opened his arms and hugged him.
"You're forgiven."

Liam hugged him back. As they let go of each other Liam made a face.
"You smell of alpha."

"Huh?" Louis commented fairly unintelligent.

Liam smirked.
"You smell like Harry to be exact. Is there something you haven't told me?"

"What? No. I don't hook up with me boss, Liam. I have no idea why I'm covered in his alpha scent." Louis stated firmly.

Liam stared at him for a long time. Then he shook his head and sighed.
"Alright if you say so, let's move your stuff."

They could fit everything he owned in one go and headed to his new apartment and the guys helped him unload his stuff. Harry and Niall had to go back to The Dome but Liam and Zayn stayed and helped him unpack. Louis glanced at them. They seemed really in love already. That was both amazing and scary at the same time. Louis didn't want to be the kind of person who said we instead of I if someone asked how he was doing. Liam and Zayn were already doing that. It freaked him out a little.

When they left he continued to unpack his stuff and made a list of the things he needed to get for his new apartment. He couldn't believe that he finally had a place of his own.

What happens next?
