Summary
It’s weird to think that this guy could be his boss. He’s so fucking young. How old could he possibly be? Early 20s, like Ian himself? Maybe mid? Possibly a very youthful 30 year old? However old he is, Ian can tell that he’s successful, and he must be, if he can afford to hire a full-time nanny.

Summary
“Remember that one time you asked me to do that thing for you, and I never asked any questions, and you didn’t explain a fucking thing, but I did it anyway? Do you remember what you said? That you owed me? Big time? I'm calling in that favor.”

Summary
Red hair that twists and waves in the movement of the water, features so angular that Mickey can only identify them as alien, and a pale naked torso that disappears into a long, scaled fish tail.
It’s a fucking mermaid.

Summary
Because there’s a comfort in knowing that when Ian walks into his laundromat at 7:30pm on a Tuesday night, he’ll see the older woman who always looks so tired, and the young newlyweds who have been married a good eight months but who still smile stupidly at each other constantly, and the girl around his age with the colorful dreads who is always wearing headphones and dancing like no one else is there.
And the guy with the latent scowl and the worn paperback book, who has possibly the bluest eyes that Ian has ever seen in person.

Mickey draws skulls, and dragons, and one time he drew a pretty sweet gun, but it’s just something he does because he’s bored. It’s not like he enjoys it, or whatever.

Summary
“There was—there was a man, dressed all in black, and he wore a mask, and he stood up and they shot him, they shot him! And he didn’t stop! He just kept going for them and when all of them were knocked out, he told us to run!”
“It was terrifying, like, how could someone like that be human?”
“I mean, yeah, it was pretty scary, but he saved our lives, you know? I’d rather be freaked out by a guy taking like fifteen bullets to the chest than fearing for my life.”
Just like that, suddenly everyone is talking about the vigilante, only now people are using words like superhero.

“You could get in a lot of trouble for this,” the prince advises, and Mickey shrugs.
“I won’t tell if you won’t.” He strolls forward and picks up a half loaf of bread, breaking off a piece and then holding the rest out to the prince.
He stares at it like he’s never fucking seen bread before.

Summary
Ian still remembers his first visit to therapy, where he expected the chaise lounge for him to lay on and the constant sound of someone scribbling notes. What he’d gotten instead was a regular love seat, and when he’d tried to lay down on it, his therapist had given a startled little laugh and told him that it was, “Quite unnecessary, really.” She never took notes. She never even held a clipboard. She just clasped her hands in her lap and gave Ian her full attention.
