Summary:

Louis isn’t okay.

It’s beyond wrong, the way they’re held in a cage waiting to be chosen for mating. It’s the way it’s been all Louis’ life, but he never wanted to end up like this. He’d hoped against hope that he’d present as a beta since they don’t have these same restrictions on them. They don’t have to adhere to their biology.

And one dark night, long after all of the other omegas in the pen have fallen asleep, biology comes calling for Louis.

Thank goodness.

Louis’ sure he’d be melting into a puddle on his bed by now if not for Harry.

What’s not lucky is how hot all of his friends have also gotten this year.

[fallinglikethis]

when you see this post a snippet of your wip

This is from the It’s A Wonderful Life au that I hope I get to finish this year. Warning for mentions of stunts and Louis’ mother.

Louis Tomlinson sits at the motel bar all decked out in holiday decorations in the trendiest part of L.A. and bemoans his life choices. He rests his head on his arms, eyes closed to stop the room from spinning after his third whiskey sour and his… fifth shot of Patron? He thinks it was five shots. He can’t really remember at this point.

“You want another?” the voice of the bartender, sounding incredibly unimpressed, hovers over him.

Louis waves the man away without looking up. He regrets everything right now. Sure, he’d felt good after the first few drinks. Kind of floaty and far away from his problems. Festive even, enjoying the lights strung up over the bar and the little Christmas tree in the corner. He should have stopped drinking then. But he didn’t and now he’s in mopey drunk territory, all the things he was running from bearing down on him and making him want to drop from the bar all the way down to the floor. Luckily, he’s still got enough sense not to do that. That would look just great when it inevitably ended up on the cover of every tabloid on the planet.

He’s just tired, is this thing. Louis feels like he’s been running a gauntlet for the last ten years and he’s ready to be done with it. There have been so many times when he’d thought he was through it, that he’d finally won, only for someone to appear in front of him with another shit contract and say, “oh no, lad, you’ve got a few more hoops to jump through yet.”

He’s always been good at bolstering himself for the hard stuff, convincing himself that he was strong enough to make it through, telling himself that he couldn’t give up. Not when he was so close to something great. And the times when he couldn’t quite make himself believe it, he had someone else there give him that little extra push that he needed. A Niall or Liam to laugh with and get him in gear. A Zayn to commiserate with when everything seemed too fast and too much. A Harry to fill him with confidence and love, and see him through his self-doubt. His mum, always ready to listen and give advice but also knowing when that advice just needed to be a simple “suck it up”.

He’s lost some of them now. And his hold on the ones he has left seems tentative at best these days. They’ve all gone in separate directions and they were supposed to meet back in the middle at some point but that day keeps getting further and further away from the looks of things and Louis just wants to go back. He wants to go back to the days when he was living out of his best friend’s pockets, when things were simpler and he could manage to answer at least a few questions in an interview before he got to one where he had to tell a lie, when he had the love of his life right beside him and not a thousand miles away where they have to sneak around just to see each other.

He doesn’t suppose Harry wants to see him now, though. Not after the fight they had a few hours ago. Honestly, on days like today, he wonders why Harry stays with him. He’d be so much better off without Louis and all of this stunting bullshit that he keeps having to do. The whole band probably would have been better off without him. Maybe they would have lasted longer without Louis’ frenetic energy and loud need for attention, maybe they wouldn’t have worn down so quickly. Zayn might have stayed without Louis there to encourage his growing loathing about the merch and the repeated interview questions. He’d honestly thought they were just getting out their grievances to each other, he hadn’t known he was helping Zayn put more bricks in the wall he was building between himself and the band. Maybe they would still be one big happy family if Louis had just never auditioned for X-factor in the first place.
