The first day, it isn't that bad. Louis manages to avoid everyone at all costs, hiding in his room and only leaving the room for food once he knows nobody is out there. It's extremely embarrassing for Louis, knowing everyone that gets within fifteen feet of him can smell the arousal pooling in his trousers.
So, he locks himself in his room and fingers himself until he's crying and is still left with a tugging in the bottom of his stomach screaming 'knot.'
Then the next day when Liam, a beta, calls him up and tells him that he wants all the boys to come over, Louis screams in frustration, pulling at the strings of his hair and wonders if telling Liam he can't come. But, when he thinks of big, brown eyes and a disappointed tone, he quickly crosses that off as an option.
Honestly, it's the second day of his heat and he's just being so bloody irresponsible.Who does that? Who willingly decides to go out in public the the height of their heat and for what? To go 'hang out with some mates'?
"You blew them off last time , remember?" Louis reasons with himself. It's actually a pretty fair point. Frankly, Louis went through quite a dry spell with this last tour and he's been making up for lost time, per se. Niall invited him out for drinks last weekend and Louis called in sick five minutes before he was set to arrive as he was slipping on his shoes and heading out the door. Louis' not proud of it, but when you get a text that says "Come over. I miss your arse." who can really deny that? "You'll make an appearance, make good old 'how have been been' chat and then you'll leave. Then you can go home and fuck the shit out of your hand. It'll be fine."
It's about now that Louis realizes he's talking to himself and it's also very possible he's lost his fucking mind. Fucking shit, Louis thinks as he grabs his keys off the kitchen counter. It's fine this is fine you'll be fine everything will be fine And as Louis' walking out to his car, he realizes just how stupid he really is. Because he wouldn't even be having this problem if he had remembered to take his pills. After Louis had forgotten to take his suppressants and went into heat on the bus (for the second time) Harry appointed himself the official walking reminder for Louis (But not without chewing Louis out first. Something about being 'irresponsible' and 'dangerous' and 'making it really difficult for the rest of the boys.' Louis pointedly remembers that last one, cause really? They were having a hard time?)
As if Satan himself is trying to punish Louis for his irresponsibility , right as he reaches his car door his legs almost give out. Louis whimpers (although Louis would never admit it) and doesn't notice he's unconsciously rutting against the side of his car until the heat wave passes. Once, Louis' back to his normal level of desperation , he climbs inside his car.
Louis shakily starts up the car, already feeling the damp spot in his underwear gathering. He brushes his fringe off his sweaty forehead and puts the car in drive, fighting the urge to reach down palm himself through his overly tight jeans.
He pulls up outside of Liam's and sees Niall's and Zayn's car already sitting in the driveway. He sits in the car for a good ten minutes, knuckles white on the steering wheel and dick twitching in his pants.
He manages a little bit of self control and climbs out his car and heads towards Liam's front door, but not without adjusting himself in his jeans.
As soon as Liam swings the door open, Louis knows Liam can tell. Liam's eyes go sympathetic and he opens his mouth to send him his apologies, but Louis holds his hand up to shut him up. Liam's lips press into a tight line and steps aside for Louis to come in. He pretends to not notice Liam staring at his arse as he walks.

They're in the middle of a game of fifa, Louis beating them mercilessly and them all whining about it, when Louis feels and extra strong wave of heat running through him. He whimpers and clutches the remote, praying that the other boys leave him be and to ride out his embarrassment in peace. Unfortunately, luck was not on his side.
