Harry and Louis are flirty best friends who have a bet about how long each of them can stay celibate. In order to win, they both (separately) ask Niall to be the opposite of a wingman, keeping the potential suitors AWAY when they go out that night.
Niall agrees, but fate-- and the friendly and helpful bartender, Liam --has other plans.
This fic was written as part of the @wordplayfics challenge for prompt 8.5: Interference. Check out the other fics in the collection here, and as this fest comes to a close I have to thank @lululawrence one last time for keeping this fest going!! Can't wait to do it again next year :)
Also wanna thank @statementlou for helping me brainstorm on this one when I got stuck at the last minute! You're the best.
