Summary
New room, new bed, new life—and each other. It’s all they’ve ever needed.
Ian watches Mickey sleep on the other side of the mattress, still close enough to reach out and touch but far enough away that he probably won’t wake up if Ian decides to get out of bed.
He doesn’t.

Summary
It had been a long fucking day.
The weight of everything — the wheelchair and the gun and I wanna be better than that — only seemed to compound as they turned in for the night, making the trek up to their room one step at a time. Climbing the stairs like it was the home stretch of some harrowing marathon run from Hell, feet blistered and bleeding.
(Mickey, Ian knew, was long overdue for some rest. And a good night’s sleep couldn’t cure all the grief, all the anger and the pain and the fear, but it definitely wasn’t a bad place to start.)

Summary
Mickey’s never really thought of himself as “hot.” Dangerous, maybe. Unapproachable. But lately? Everyone’s looking at him like he’s a fucking movie star. Mickey doesn’t quite know what to do with the attention. Ian? Ian’s suddenly got a possessive streak a mile wide.

Summary
“Ow!” Mickey rasps, “you kneed me, asshole.” He rubs at his thigh and frowns, knowing damn well it’ll leave a bruise.
Ian all but turns on his side, an arm draping over Mickey’s waist and pulls him close, as if nothing happened. “Course I need you, baby,” he murmurs sleepily and nuzzles his nose into Mickey’s hair.

Summary
“Mick,” Colin starts. “We really just came here to see you.”
Mickey scratches his eyebrow with his thumbnail, then turns to Ian.
Ian just shrugs. “You’re the one that gave them our address.”
A look of recognition passes on his face. At least that part was true.
Mickey blows out a breath and his shoulders drop. He sits on the arm of Ian’s chair, and his voice is a little softer around the edges when he asks, “Where the hell have you guys been?”
Ian figures that’s as good a starting point as any.
“I know they knocked the house down,” Mickey says, “and you weren’t with dad when he moved in next to the old Gallagher house.”

Summary
"Tired, big guy?" he mutters, kissing along Ian's jaw.
"No, I just... feel good." Ian tilts his head and Mickey runs his tongue over his pulse point. "That feels good."
"You look good," Mickey says, trailing down his neck. He tugs on Ian's security vest. "Look hot in this shit."
"Yeah?"
"Mhm. Camo's always been your color."

Summary
“Why the hell are you here, Ian?”
Mickey’s tone is defeated, and his shoulders barely hold their shape. He’s tired. Exhausted, really. Ian can see that in every line of his body, every curve of his face.
There’s so much that Ian wants to say to him, so much he wants to scream across this phone line connecting them, but he can’t. His head is a mess, in more ways than one, and no matter how fast he tries to parse through his tidal wave of emotions, he can’t figure them out.
He broke up with Mickey. Right?
Only now, he can’t really remember why.
“I don’t know,” Ian says honestly, and hopes it’s enough.
(It’s not.)

Summary
“Mickey, listen to me.” Lip says. He’s holding up his hands again, surrendering. “You know what kind of family you’re a part of now, right? It’s just us. There’s no one else but us. No one’s in charge, okay? We tried that shit out, look where it got us. But I…I just relapsed, Mick, you got that? I just relapsed and it could happen again, and Ian’s meds could stop working when we least expect them to, and Debbie’s in jail and like it or not – and I don’t like it, for the record – you’re looking pretty fucking stable at the moment.”

Summary
“Fiona’s probably gonna do ninety days.”
“Fuck,” Mickey replies. “Where?”
“Decatur Correctional. Where the hell is that?”
“Three hours out of the city.” Mickey sits with his back to the wall, legs dangling over the side of the bed. Lighting a cigarette would only earn him another lecture, so he slicks back his hair just for something to do with his hands.
“How’d you know that?” Ian asks, smelling chum in the water, the observant little fuck. “Not like your brothers are getting sent to lady prison all that often.”
Mickey thumbs at his lip, trying to find a way out of this conversation. It probably wouldn’t be too hard to distract Ian just by taking of his pants, but he is trying this new thing where he actually tells Ian what’s going on in his head.
“No.” He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. “It’s my mom.”

Summary
He realises with a jolt that Mickey didn’t think he’d come.
“Mick,” he says softly. He taps his fingers on the glass. “Mickey.”
“Fucking what?” Mickey scowls, but his fingers stretch closer.
“Stop waiting for me to leave,” he replies quickly.
(Ian and Mickey become a stable couple who communicate.)
