    Summary

    The day Ned asks Ian to rob his house the redhead almost says yes – why shouldn’t he, after all? Ned seems nonchalant enough about the whole thing, he’ll get some free expensive shit out of the deal, and if he plays his cards right maybe he can even convince Mickey to be his accomplice – but something stops him from going through with it.

    The third-eldest Gallagher has never been much of a believer in fate or divine intervention or destiny or anything like that – can’t be, with the life he’s led – but he just might have become one, had he only known how that one seemingly insignificant decision had changed the course of his entire life.

     
    He gets it now; why people write songs about this, why they become addicts when they lose it. He gets how it can mess with your whole life, why you’d go to jail to keep someone else safe, why you’d kill to see them happy. He understands it all; every cheesy line in every crappy movie, and all the bad decisions he’s seen his brothers and sister, his mother, make. He gets why people do all of those things. Now that he knows what it feels like, knows for sure, he finally understands.

     
    Love ruins you.

    Summary

    It’s like a knife to the gut, seeing in real time how Mickey doesn’t trust him as much.

    “I’m glad someone was there for you.” Is all Ian has as he tries to stop his eyes from watering.

    “Yeah, you sure as hell weren’t.” He spits out, and it’s angry and mean and yeah, fuck, it’s true, isn’t it? Mickey was in here all fucking alone, while Ian didn’t even bother to visit. Spent all his time missing Mickey, but trying to forget he ever existed. At the time, it seemed the best thing for both of them. Allowing a clean break, letting them both move on.

    Turns out that ‘moving on’ is a little different when one person is locked up.

    Ian swallows, wiping at a tear before it has time to fall. “I know.”

    “See, this is fucking why I didn’t want to talk about this.” Mickey mutters, shuffling closer in an attempt to console and help.

    ///

    Ian and Mickey may be back together in prison, but they still have a lot to talk about so that the past won't keep hurting them.
