Chapter Text
Ian’s hand was throbbing and he was quite sure he had damaged his knuckles, but goddamn if it hadn’t been the best feeling, having Frank’s bones break under his hand.
First, the waste of space drunk had to report them to the CPS and now when Fiona was fighting to get custody and relieve him of the fatherly duties that he never remembered anyway, he had to screw that up too.
It had all looked fine with Fiona telling the court the story of when Ian had been sick and she was six but still had to carry him and Lip to the hospital when Frank interfered, loudly proclaiming that Ian wasn’t even his anyway.
Everything was downhill from there, Fiona was yelling at the court that she raised Ian and he was hers in every way that mattered but the damage had already been done.
All four of his siblings had been handed over to their eldest sister who shared custody with Frank while Ian, he had to wait for the redhead sibling of Frank’s to sign complete legal guardianship over him.
He wanted to feel betrayed, wanted to breakdown and cry because no matter how ignored or how unimportant he had felt with his siblings, he loved them just as much as they loved him.
But all he could do was sit still as stone while Clayton finished up the paperwork to take him away from the siblings who were still waiting outside the courthouse.
Fucking Frank! Ian really wishes he had let Mickey kill him.
