   Summary

   It’s funny, Mickey doesn’t remember it being quite so…well, loud here.

   But not funny in a ‘haha nice joke’ type of way. More, funny in a ‘mildly unsettling’ way.’

   Sure, Mickey’s used to sounds and people being assholes and all the rest. What he’s not used to is hearing all that shit and actually being safe.

   OR

   The Shameless writers did a terrible job of discussing Mickey’s trauma so I’m fixing it because realistically this man should have all the PTSD after the BS Terry, the American prison system, and the fucking Mexican Cartel did to him. Oh, and not to mention the past tension between Ian and Mickey up to Season 10.
