    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.

    Summary

    In the dark, Ian turns and stares at Mickey for a moment. 

    “Do you really not want to have sex with me?”

    “No,” Mickey mumbles, a little annoyed by the whiplash of Ian’s talking. “I don’t like it.”

    Ian laughs outright at this, his eyes crinkling at the edges gently. Mickey’s learning that he really likes to watch Ian do that.

    “That’s not true; everyone likes sex. I just mean - what's wrong with you? Do you just only like women? Is that what it is?”

    Summary

    "Anyway, we probably owe each other a million dates over the years.”

    During his club days, when he was always allowing himself to be whisked away in random hotels for nights on end with strange older men, he’d always liked when they’d get the rooms with the huge windows, so afterwards in the middle of the night Ian could slip out of the bed and stare down at the city for hours. While the view had always been entrancing, Ian almost grows sick from the memories - still fresh and visceral, like an open wound inside his head - of just how suffocatingly lonely it’d felt. He’d felt so distanced from real people, like he was being allowed to look at a world he was no longer able to touch.

    “I think you owe me more since you put it in.” Mickey mumbles, most likely for the sole purpose of annoying Ian, which it does.

    Summary

    "Rozy," Brian, the team doctor says, "talk to me, buddy. That puck clipped you pretty good, how’s the pain?"

    Ilya blinks. He clenches his jaw against a wave of nausea. He rests his cheek on the ice, and the cold helps a little.

    "Bad. Very bad." He swallows. "Is Shane here?"

    -

    or, in the final MTL/BOS game of the year, ilya takes a puck to the head.

    Summary

    Mickey doesn’t care. There isn’t much he cares about. He’s become a fossil, with layers of hard rock filling his insides.

    He hasn’t called Ian. Ian called him, and Mickey declined it.

    There’s an ache.
