10.
For the first time this freaking July, Louis' day felt normal. Right now, he was attending his normal physical training lesson he had three days a week. The other two days he had theory lessons and the weekend was off. Everything else was in between somewhere. Today they were focusing on attacking and blocking specifically. Logan tried to get the best out of them and Louis had the feeling there was more to it. He was unusually hardcore focused in a way Louis hasn't seen before. Maybe he was just going crazy.
He was brutally torn out of his observations when Liam's latest attack hit him and he crashed to the ground, wet from top to bottom. Hissing in pain, Louis looked up at his apologetic friend.
"Focus, Louis! This was way too easy. If he were a demon you would be dead" Logan admonished him rightfully. "Or at least, deadly injured and we don't want that".
"Oh, come on. Give him a break. This attack was hardly deadly. No offence, Lima" Maribel piped in slyly.
"None taken. Are you okay, Louis?" Liam flew down to him.
"I'm fine. Good attack. Didn't see that coming" Louis climbed back onto his feet, groaning in pain. "Logan is right. I was distracted and I shouldn't be. Could cost me my life someday".
"But you're really fine right now?" Logan checked concerned.
"I'm still breathing. The rest will come back" Louis joked in pain.
"Àmbar, could you ...?".
"No need. Save your powers for something more important. I don't need healing. I deserve the pain for not paying attention" Louis stopped Logan from asking Àmbar to heal him quickly.
"You sure, Lew? It's no big deal" Àmbar didn't look convinced.
"Never been so sure. Come on. We're not here to stare at me, are we? Let's get back up there" Louis put on a fake smile.
"He's right. Up with you, guys" Logan clapped into his hands.
"Were you thinking about him or the prophecy?" Zayn asked him through his mind, obviously worried about him.
"Believe it or not, he wasn't on my mind this time" Louis answered honestly. He hasn't been thinking about him all day.
"And you're really in a condition to keep training?" Zayn hooked solicitously like the best friend he was.
"It still hurts but isn't that good? It means Liam's attacks get better and he isn't holding back anymore" Louis pointed out.
"Huh, good point. Hopefully, he won't become hesitant again now" Zayn mused thoughtfully.
"We will attack the shit out of him. He won't be able to hold back. Not if he wants to go home in one piece" Louis cackled idiotically.
"Watch out, Tommy!" Zayn warned him right in time.
Skilfully, Louis dodged Maribel's attack and shot his own ball of light right at her. Only a second later, Liam threw a jet of water at him, which would effectively drown his opponent when it exploded above them but Zayn was right there to turn it into ice and shatter it into a million pieces before it could reach them. Before any of them could react, a moving liana wrapped itself around Liam and Maribel's ankles, dragging them to the ground. The impact on the ground was clearly heard even up in the sky. Louis winced out of reflex and felt his own sore back react to the pain.
"Your eyes need to be everywhere. Danger can come from every side and every angle. Just because you have one enemy in control or are able to distract them you're not automatically safe. They could be distracting you at the same time. You need to have eyes in the back of your head. Good job, girls" Logan commented on their fighting, praising Àmbar and Aria, who had attacked Maribel and Liam from behind while they've been busy with Jouis. "Come on. Lying on the ground won't save your life. You're too nice to each other. Demons would have killed you by now".
Just like that, Àmbar aimed her fire powers at Maribel and Liam and Louis did the same with his light powers. To shield themselves from the attack Maribel and Liam created a dome around them with their mixed water and air powers. Louis and Àmbar's attacks ricochetted and there was nothing they could do instead of attacking each other. Their powers crashed together and created a huge ball of fiery light right above Maribel and Liam's dome. It felt like their powers were connecting instead of fighting the other like they were supposed to. Because they were both freaking stubborn, none of them backed down even when Zayn and Aria tried to make them stop. Louis and Àmbar only focused more on winning this battle but suddenly the mixed-up ball of powers grew and exploded a second later, the impact throwing all of them to the ground harshly. More pain was added to Louis' existing pain.
"What in the world was that?" Zayn groaned next to Louis, holding his arm in pain.
"No idea, Joey" Louis coughed. It felt as if he had crushed his lungs with the second fall today.
"Are you alright, Love?" Àmbar asked Aria immediately, the panic and guilt hearable in her voice.
"I'm good, Lia" Aria assured her but Àmbar was already using her healing powers on her girlfriend, visibly in pain herself.
Logan came over to them, clapping his hands and that confused the shit out of Louis. "Why are you clapping? We failed".
"Did you?" Logan cocked an eyebrow at them.
"Yeah. We lost control and hurt our friends" Louis stated dryly.
"Okay, yeah. Maybe you did that but you've never connected your powers like that before. It was bound to happen" Logan shrugged as if it was no big deal.
"I'm so lost".
"Guys, you know you can connect your powers. Maribel and Liam did that to form their dome, which was quite clever I might add. A good way to protect yourselves when you're down and need to recharge. Anyway, what you just did was close to a convergence. Something you will learn right at the end of your training because for that, you need to be in full control of your powers. Every tiny bit of them. That you managed to hold on for so long is impressive. And the damage is pretty harmless to what could have happened if you had less control" Logan explained to them.
"So, we connected our powers unknowingly without intending to do so while trying to attack each other? How does that make sense?" Àmbar asked totally lost.
"Light and fire are quite similar and share a certain core. Your powers work the best together. You two can't really hurt each other, no matter how much you try. Only to some extent" Logan enlightened them a bit more detailed.
"Why didn't we know that?" Àmbar frowned befuddled.
"Because that's part of the convergence theory lessons. Not up until a few months from now" Logan reasoned simply.
"Makes sense".
"How about we stop for today, mh? You exhausted yourselves enough. Maybe you can join your new teammates and give them some advice on their fighting" Logan suggested friendly.
"Good idea. A great way to bond some more" Aria was ecstatic.
Inwardly, Louis groaned at the mere thought. He really wasn't keen on seeing Harry today but when they were all going there was no way he could stay back. It would look bad and in the end, they were a team now, if he wanted it or not. They needed to make sure these two werewolves were at least able to protect and defend themselves rightly and weren't another burden to the team.
"They're at the main training hall" Logan informed them before he walked toward the academy.
Following his friends, Louis reluctantly walked toward the main training hall. It was located a bit away from the academy but the walk wasn't too long. Definitely not long enough to convince himself this was a good idea. All he wanted to do was turn around and go home. Get as far away from Harry as possible. Especially after everything he knew now. How was he supposed to act around him?
When the training hall came into view Louis immediately spotted him and Niall together with their two coaches Mikayla and Isaac. These two mainly taught them non-magical fighting, which was something Louis really loved. Fighting techniques or sword fighting or even archery or whatever you wanted to learn specifically. Mainly, they wouldn't need it but if it was the case they were prepared and that was the most important thing anyway.
"Hey, guys. Can we join you?" Maribel drew attention to them.
"Always" Mikayla, a black-haired tall woman, grinned at her.
"Hurt each other enough?" Isaac hooked amusedly. He was a blonde average height dude with soft features.
"Don't get me started" Àmbar shot him a dark look, only making him laugh out loud. "I can feel your empathy".
"Sorry, but you lot look like shit. It's obvious you beat the shit out of each other in every way possible" Isaac tried to stifle his laughter.
"Only these two. They blew us all away" Maribel pointed at Àmbar and Louis, gaining Niall and Harry's sole focus now.
"What happened?" Harry asked weirdly, obviously addressing Louis but he didn't plan on answering him any time soon.
"Some weird kind of baby convergence we couldn't control?! No idea but it hurt. All of us" Àmbar tried to explain but gave up.
"Really? But you're not there yet. That's actually amazing" Isaac's entire face lit up in excitement.
"Tell that my sore back and aching limbs" Louis laughed dryly.
"Is it bad?" Harry checked way too concerned for Louis' liking.
But instead of answering him, Louis focused his attention on Isaac and Mikayla. "Anything in particular we should train today or can we just go for it?".
"Considering you're not on for today you can do whatever you want. Best in pairs" Mikayla replied but not without side-eyeing Harry and eyeing Louis closely. This behaviour wasn't normal for him and she knew that but Louis couldn't help it.
"Great. Lima, up for it?" Louis clapped into his hands, facing Liam with probably the most desperate expression on his face.
"Always, although I'm not sure I can handle more pain on my back today" Liam responded surprisingly cheeky.
"Oh my god, Lima! I'm so proud of you. Only this much left and you're actually sassing me" Louis fake-cried dramatically, pointing two of his fingers with barely any space between in his face.
"I prefer the pain over the drama queen" Liam deadpanned, shocking literally everyone around them, except for the wolves.
Louis gasped faux offended. "Are you trying to hurt me?".
"Always" Liam winked at him. "Now come on. Didn't you want to hurt me?".
"Oh, I will" Louis clicked with his tongue.
"Have fun with hurting each other. I'll go over there and improve some actual useful skills" Àmbar shook her head at them, motioning to the archery field.
"When you find Luke's phone please tell us. He lost it earlier and was freaking out. Apparently, he has an important date later" Mikayla asked of her before Àmbar left.
"Yeah, with me" Louis muttered smugly under his breath, feeling Harry's eyes on him but he ignored it.
"Luke was here? Why?" Harry frowned, staring Louis down.
"He has training two times a week but comes here more often anyway. Mainly, archery. Didn't he tell you?" Aria answered for Louis when she realised he wasn't planning on talking to Harry.
"No and he isn't the only one who isn't talking to me" Harry sounded mad but Louis couldn't care less. Karma was a bitch.
Ignoring him furthermore, Louis grabbed Liam's wrist and dragged him a bit away from them to finally start their part of the improvised training. Instead of getting in position, Liam only looked at him expectantly. "What?".
"Are you alright?" Liam tilted his head aside in concern.
"I will be when you finally attack me and we drop the talking" Louis propped his hands up on his hips, still feeling eyes on him.
Apparently having pity on him, Liam exhaled loudly but got into position. Louis cracked his neck and his knuckles and then they ran toward each other, attacking the other. Louis never understood why they even learned this normal basic fighting when it was useless against demons of any kind. A sword, a bow, a crossbow, a dagger or their powers or the wolves' claws were effective against them but no simple punches or kicks. What were they learning this for?
Apart from it being useless Louis still enjoyed it. It was fun and an excellent way to stay fit. His stamina has gotten better through this, which was nice for other things. And yes, that was exactly what he meant and he wasn't sorry for it.
Dodging one of Liam's punches, Louis tackled him to the ground and was now hovering above him triumphantly, both of them laughing breathlessly. But even now Louis could feel that intense stare on his back and it was annoying the shit out of him.
Seemingly, Liam had picked up on his weird mood. "I get why you don't want him around but do you really think ignoring him helps your situation?".
"No, but I don't know how to act around him" Louis sat down on Liam's waist defeatedly and Liam steadied him by his waist. "For the team, I'm trying to avoid arguments with him and the only way is just not talking to him. Every exchange between us has ended in fighting and it's exhausting. We have more important matters to worry about than the two of us hating each other".
"Is it hate though? Hate is a strong word" Liam dared to ask.
"Maybe not. I don't know. I don't want him here, in my life but he is now and I can't change it and I know it's fate, if I want it or not. We're meant to be in each other's lives but that doesn't mean I have to like it" Louis answered honestly, making Liam frown in confusion. "My prophecy. Don't ask. It's not worth it. It's just ... We're not friends but he is acting as if we were. As if I would talk to him about anything personal. Yeah, definitely not. Especially not Luke".
"Because he doesn't like you two together. A werewolf and a human fairy. Fairy human? Whatever. One of these" Liam added understandingly, making Louis smile.
"Exactly. I don't need his judgement. We're not anything".
Wiggling his eyebrows funnily at him, Liam tightened his grip on his waist and turned them around with impact, making Louis wince. "But now you're on the ground, your majesty".
"God, don't call me that" Louis buried his face in his hands.
"Well, technically that's true though. Your father was the king of the earthly realm, right?" Liam leaned closer to his face.
"Something like that but he is dead and the realm was mostly destroyed and even if we rebuild it I won't be a king or anything. God, no. Not in this lifetime" Louis uncovered his face, locking eyes with Liam and raising an eyebrow at him.
"Sure about that? You could be King Louis Tomlinson of the Nature Realm, bossing everyone around" Liam looked way too amused.
"I don't need to be king to be doing that. I'm already doing it" Louis pointed out matter-of-factly.
Surprisingly, Liam pinned his wrists to the ground right next to his head and leaned even closer, barely keeping his laughter in. "Not right now, Tommo. I have the power".
"Sure about that?" Louis smirked up at him before kicking him in the balls lightly, not too hard but still making him groan. Louis used that opportunity to turn them back around and pin Liam to the ground instead. "Not so confident anymore, are we?".
"You're a maniac" Liam cackled thrilled.
"A maniac in power" Louis leaned in even closer and dramatically licked over Liam's cheek, making him squeak and squeal.
"What in the world are you two doing?" Maribel's voice sounded from behind them.
"Fighting, isn't that obvious?" Louis giggled exhilarated.
"Looks more like weird foreplay" Maribel crossed her arms over her chest in amusement.
"Don't give them ideas, Belle" Àmbar slapped her shoulder. "Here, Luke's phone. In case you're done with Liam".
Louis caught the phone effortlessly, sitting back down on Liam's waist but this time with his back turned to Liam's face, which hasn't been a good idea. In a matter of seconds, Liam's arms were wrapped around him and he felt how Liam bit down on his shoulder with everyone watching them closely, especially Harry and Zayn. Louis squeaked embarrassingly and hit him in the ribs with his elbow but Liam only bit his neck next.
"Are you a freaking vampire?" Louis laughed elatedly.
"Can't help myself. I get why Luke can't stay away" Liam replied playfully but not everyone got the joke.
"Oh, you want a taste of King Tommo, too?" Louis turned back around and pushed Liam back to the ground, nuzzling his jaw.
"Is that an offer?" Liam let his hands travel all over Louis' curves.
"Maybe. Depends. Are you interested?" Louis bit Liam's jaw.
"Always but what about Luke?" Liam played along.
"Who? I don't know a Luke" Louis chuckled onto Liam's jaw.
"You little bitch. I'm gonna tell Luke" Liam slapped his bum.
"You wouldn't dare" Louis gasped in faux horror, sitting up.
"Test me" Liam winked at him before tickling him mercilessly.
"No, please. Have mercy" Louis begged through his giggles, lying on the ground by now with Liam hovering over him.
"No mercy for two-timing pigs" Liam laughed like a maniac.
"Who said you're the only ones?" Louis kicked him in the balls again, throwing him a smug look when Liam collapsed next to him in slight pain. "Better make sure that still works, Darling".
"Or you'll drop me?" Liam cocked an eyebrow at him.
"Faster than a hot potato" Louis burst out laughing.
"You two are so weird. Why are we even watching you?" Maribel commented on the scene in front of them. Louis had totally forgotten that they were all there, watching them the entire time.
"Because it's fun? Or just so weird that we needed to find out how it ends. Could have guessed it would end with Lima in pain. Was predictable" Aria shook her head at them delightedly.
"You just don't mess with Tommo" Àmbar added liltingly.
"Well, looks like someone forgot about that" Zayn held his hand out for Liam to take.
"I didn't forget. I did it on purpose" Liam justified himself while letting Zayn drag him back to his feet.
"With what end goal? Getting your ass whooped? Or your balls" Zayn eyed him suspiciously.
"My balls are fine. Thank you very much" Liam huffed, making everyone laugh, mostly Louis, who was still lying on the ground.
"Comfortable?" Àmbar looked down at him in amusement.
"Very" Louis sat up before standing up for good.
"Just so you know, Josh and Cody just texted me and asked if we could bring Harry and Niall to them. They wanna see if they can make them some suits as well" Àmbar informed him still amused.
"What are we waiting for then?" Louis dusted off his clothes.
"For your weird foreplay to be over. Do you do that with Luke too?" Àmbar made fun of him.
"You'd like to know that, huh?" Louis nudged her shoulder.
"Oh, definitely" Àmbar snorted mockingly.
"Come on, guys. Enough foreplays. We should get going".
While Maribel took the lead, Louis tried to gain his focus back but he could feel Harry's eyes on him now more than before. For a split second, Louis looked over at him and caught Harry eyeing him weirdly. Did he get that they were joking? Did it matter to Louis at all what he thought about him? Not really. It was none of Harry's business anyway what he did or didn't do.
After a few minutes, they reached Josh and Cody's workshop studio and walked inside. Josh was a very tall brunette lad, who had two magical parents but no magical powers himself. He had a talent for sword fighting, mechanical and technological stuff. Cody on the other hand was the exact opposite. He was born into a human family and had magical powers in some way but only a little bit. He had no specific powers from any realm but he was able to access the fairy telekinesis and had a knack for mechanical things.
"Hey, mate. Alright?" Zayn greeted Cody with a big smile.
"Yes, you? You look like shit" Cody inspected him closer.
"Training was fire and left us all in pain" Zayn shrugged neutrally.
"Where's Josh?" Louis looked around the room in search of him.
"In the back, working on new suits for you, guys" Cody let them know casually.
"New suits? But ours are great" Aria wrinkled her forehead.
"They are but there is always something to improve and you know him. He can't sit still, is obsessed with making them indestructible" Cody replied nonchalantly.
"True".
"That would actually be pretty nice," Liam thought out loud.
"Indestructible suits? Yeah, one worry less during a fight but yours are already pretty hard to destroy and demons' claws don't get through most of the time ...".
"Maybe a stupid question but what do they have suits for anyway? They're guardians" Harry interrupted Cody confusedly.
Louis only rolled his eyes at him while Cody answered a bit taken aback. "For protection? They're not invincible".
"Oh, that must be new for him" Louis snorted to himself but Zayn heard him and nudged him lightly in the ribs. "What?".
"Didn't you say you wanna be civil? Imagine if he had heard that. Another argument isn't good for you" Zayn threw him a pointed look and well, he was right and Louis knew that.
"Sometimes I hate you, Joey".
"Love you too, Tommy".
"Can you show them your suits? Like this, they can get an idea of what we're even talking about" Cody addressed all of them.
"Sure thing".
With Harry's eyes solely on him, Louis touched the bracelet-like thing on his wrist with the crystal holding his magical essence in the middle and his suit appeared in less than a second. All of their suits were mainly silver by now with black or white highlights and pretty simple. From the outside, it looked like they were wearing pants and a tight shirt, covering up all of their body except for their hands and their head. But the material was soft and rock solid at the same time. It changed depending on the situation at hand. It was light and not in the way during a fight. Paired with their wings it looked pretty sick and Louis couldn't imagine what new suits might look like.
"You would get something similar to protect you during a fight. We just have to figure out a way to activate it for you. You're not guardians and have no magical essence like the others. Maybe we can channel your individual werewolf essence ...".
"For what?" Niall was a bit lost.
"Each other their suits react to their own magical essence. It's saved in their crystals. These crystals activate the suits and make them appear in not even a second. It's basically hidden in the crystals in a way and makes it so much easier to have access all the time. If we don't find a way you always have to put the suit on by yourself, which is unpractical when the fight happens out of nowhere" Cody explained to them and for once in his life, Louis had the feeling it was a good thing he was not born a werewolf. If that made him salty or petty he didn't care. For once, he was above them.
"And how do you 'channel' our wolf essence?" Harry asked specifically, air-quoting the word channel, which pissed Louis off.
"I have no idea. That's something we need to find out. If it's even possible. But we'll find a way" Cody assured him but Louis could clearly hear his doubts.
"You don't need us for that, right?" Louis tapped his crystal again, making his suit disappear. Cody only shook his head. "Good. I have somewhere to be. So, if you all excuse me ...".
"Just go and fuck your brain out, Tommo. But please, put it back in your head when you're done. We need you tomorrow" Maribel taunted him jokingly.
"How funny. Never laughed that much" Louis deadpanned dryly.
"We all know you're meeting up with Luke and we also know where that ends. Every time" Maribel smirked dirtily at him.
"Your good mood is always radiating off of you, Tommo" Liam agreed with her, less dirty and more appreciative.
"Well, what can I say? It's nice" Louis shrugged unfazed.
"Only nice?" Cody raised an eyebrow at him nastily.
"I really don't think you want details" Louis laughed at his friends.
"Actually ..." Maribel trailed off dramatically.
"Nope, not getting anything from me. Get a life, guys" Louis pushed past them toward the door, ignoring Harry completely.
"You mean a fuckbuddy?" she pursed her lips smugly.
"I'm off, you perverts" Louis flipped them off without turning back.
"Huh, Luke has to be amazing" Maribel joked loud enough for him to hear and Louis only laughed at that.
"Omega charm, Belle".
Well, Louis couldn't deny that statement and Zayn knew that. But Louis just headed out without looking back because he was already a bit late due to their spontaneous trip to the workshop. Finally reaching the portal, Louis went through and made his way into town, where Luke was waiting for him in front of the city swimming hall. Wordlessly, Louis greeted him with a quick kiss.
"Ready to go in?" Luke sounded very excited.
"Definitely. Let's go".
Inside, they got changed into swimming trunks quickly and headed for the big pool. At first, it was freezing-cold to Louis but after a few minutes, he got used to the temperature. Luke and he swam a few rounds before heading for the diving boards and jumping down like two madmen. Each time it got more ridiculous but it was so much fun. When it got exhausting they took a break and ate some snacks to gain some energy back. They small-talked a bit about everything and nothing before going back into the pool, splashing each other with water like little kids.
After two more hours, they walked into the showers to call it a day. Showering together half-naked maybe wasn't the best idea when you were them. Louis could feel and sense how much it was turning Luke on and he wasn't doing any better himself. As quick as possible, they got ready, put on their clothes and headed out. Checking his phone, Louis decided it was best if they would go to his place. Two certain other werewolves were probably at Luke's place and Louis wasn't keen on being quiet just because of them. And Zayn wasn't home. He was at Maribel's place with Liam.
As soon as Louis had closed the front door behind them, the two of them were attached to each other. They had their tongues down each other's throats and their hands were everywhere, roaming their bodies desperately. Remembering his promise to Zayn to keep the living room sex-free, Louis led Luke into his bedroom and pushed him onto his bed. Quick as lightning, they got rid of their clothes and went back to snogging. Due to his heightened sense of smell since he was using his shapeshifter power regularly Louis could smell Luke's arousal through the slick that was dripping down his thighs. Louis loved that and it was driving him crazy. He might be a little bit addicted to sex with an omega. It was mind-blowing.
Because Luke was barely holding on and he himself was already rock-hard, they skipped any form of foreplay and went right in. Starting with two fingers, he opened Luke up a bit more, which wasn't really necessary because they had seen each other yesterday and the body of an omega opened up on its own when they were completely turned on and ready to take whatever would be given to them. But Louis liked to keep this as human and normal as possible sometimes and Luke liked that just as much. Today though it seemed they needed to skip that as well. He was already fully open and wet with slick everywhere, ready to take Louis in.
"Please, Louis. I need you" Luke begged totally aroused.
"Whatever you need, Lee".
Full of lust, Louis positioned himself right at Luke's entrance and pushed inside. That feeling would never get old. Louis was sure of it. Feeling the slick and what it did to him was something he could not explain or put into words, no matter how many times he tried. Omega charm wasn't so far off. And the omega underneath was moaning loudly in pure pleasure, making Louis pick up his pace. At this rapid pace, both of them came rather quick tonight.
Coming down from their orgasms, Louis cleaned them up and then pulled Luke into his arms, knowing an omega needed that afterwards even more than a human. He felt his nose in the crook of his neck and bared it a bit more for Luke, officially giving him permission to scent him. Something Louis couldn't do for him. Well, maybe someday when he managed to transform into a wolf. Who knew?! But cuddles and kisses were always everything Luke asked for anyway. It was a routine by now. A great routine.
"That was amazing" Luke practically purred into his chest.
"It was. You were great, Lee" Louis praised him.
"For our standards that was rather quick," Luke giggled cutely.
"True but we were both quite desperate today" Louis chuckled.
"Seeing you all wet in the pool did things to me. You can't blame me" Luke admitted shamelessly.
"I wasn't any better. I wanted to fuck you right in the shower but sadly, we weren't alone" Louis traced with his finger over Luke's back, stopping right over the curve of his bum.
"You have a shower here" Luke stated the obvious.
"Already up for round two, huh?" Louis glanced at him.
"With you, always" Luke cupped his dick under the covers.
"Let's hope Zayn stays away a few more hours".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is ignoring Harry the smartest choice?
Luke and Louis. Thoughts?
The picture is an orientation for the suits. Their suits are similar to the ones in the picture.
