In i had a dream (i got everything i wanted) Ian tells mickey that he told his job in Chicago that he was ready to go back soon, that was not long before Fionas wedding. It makes it sound like he really had no intention of going to Mickey? Like if they didn't bump into each other accidentally Ian would have just left after the wedding when his work called and never actually go and talk to Mickey?

hey so you’re kinda right!

ian was feeling better and had told them that he was ready to go back to work - but that didn’t necessarily mean he was feeling ready to find mickey again. i imagined that he was going to go back to chicago, get back into the swing of work again and then reach out to mickey. he was serious about making sure he was in the right place before he contacted him again - because going to nyc to recover did involve him knowing mickey was there, but he still didn’t know if he was ready (he was clearly more ready than he’d ever considered). bumping into him in nyc like he did, kinda threw a spanner into that plan.

i had a dream (i got everything i wanted) chapter 7/?

mickey milkovich hasn’t seen ian gallagher in over 9 years, not since the day he broke his heart and they shipped him off to prison for a crime he didn’t technically commit.

the last place he expects to bump into him is new york fucking city.

mickey suddenly finds himself being thrown head first back into a world of people and places he’s spent so many years trying to leave behind.

au from 5x12/6x01 onwards.

Mickey makes the decision quickly, and his brain races to catch up with his rapid change of course. He places the folded suit back down on the chair - Roy’s in luck it seems, and shrugs off his shirt with shaking hands, fumbling with the buttons as he goes. He can’t take anymore time, he’s wasted enough as it is.

He looks at himself in the mirror, his face worried and weathered by the last few days of agonising, and curses - fuck, he looks like a mess.

When was the last time he washed his hair?

The wedding? The day before?

In a swift movement, he replaces the shirt with a clean one, giving it a sniff briefly before pulling it over his head and running a quick hand through his hair to fix what he can. He makes a face at himself, still looking like shit, just slightly more put together shit - it’ll have to do for now.

He checks the address Ian had given him before the wedding, his name on the screen sending shivers, and shoves his phone into his back pocket. He scurries quickly to the front door, feet halfway in his shoes and laces untied, but stops abruptly with his hand hesitantly reaching for the door’s lock.

His stomach swirls with a low uncertain bubble - but he’s doing this, he’s doing this and it’s going to be okay. It has to be okay.

They’ve been through too much for it not to be.

i had a dream (i got everything i wanted) chapter 8/?

mickey milkovich hasn’t seen ian gallagher in over 9 years, not since the day he broke his heart and they shipped him off to prison for a crime he didn’t technically commit.

the last place he expects to bump into him is new york fucking city.

mickey suddenly finds himself being thrown head first back into a world of people and places he’s spent so many years trying to leave behind.

au from 5x12/6x01 onwards.

Mickey wakes up slowly, his body clicking and popping as he stretches out on the mattress and chesty yawn falling out of his throat. He smiles into his pillow - he feels so fucking good, and for once in his life, well rested. There’s the familiar ache of a good night before in his bones and he reaches out a hand to pull Ian in closer, he needs him closer-

Except Ian isn’t there.

His hand reaches nothing except an empty, flat mattress.

Ian isn’t there, Ian isn’t there, Ian isn’t there-

He sits up quickly, his blood running cold followed by a sharp pain in his gut - fuck, Ian still left after all of that?

The bed is empty.

They’d fallen asleep in the same position the way they’d used to, back in those few months of living together, Ian’s arms wrapped around his chest, pressed up close against his back. Mickey hadn’t realised how much he missed it, being held, a safety net he never knew he needed. A childhood of being touch deprived meant that falling asleep in Ian’s arms came easier than ever. ♡ CONTINUE READING ON AO3 ♡

Mandy leaves and Mickey lets himself lie there for a few minutes longer before he sighs and  swings his legs over the side of the bed to pull himself up. He stretches his arms above his head, groaning. His muscles ache, his joints click and pop - last night’s violence echoes in every movement. The sinking feeling of regret hangs heavy. He checks his phone - 3:45pm, okay, he can work with that…he can work with that.. except-  

He doesn’t know when Ian’s flight is.

He pulls up Ian’s last message and quickly hits reply.

3:47pm: to Ian ‘U should’ve woken me up.’

3:48pm to Ian ‘Be over soon.’

He sends them with a shaking thumb and turns his screen off, but makes sure the sound is uncharacteristically on.

Something daunting sinks into his gut and he already feels like shit that he wasted so much time sleeping. Ian’s hours are now on a clock and there’s a countdown ticking down slowly, he can feel it suspended heavily above him. He rubs his eyes tiredly and suppresses the need to blame Ian for slipping out without waking him. He doesn’t blame him - he was a wreck last night and Mickey can be a grumpy dick when running on little sleep, even without the early morning stitched up skin.

‘What?’

Mickey hears the word fall out, but he doesn’t feel himself say it.

There’s nothing in his ears except the rushing of blood.

Ian looks at him, there's wet lines down his cheeks that glint from the street lights and Mickey wants to wipe them away but he can’t, he can’t do fucking anything. He can’t move, he can’t think. ‘Chicago… I have to be there in two days I-’

Chicago. Chicago. Chicago.

Something snaps inside him and floods his chest, his heart, his gut. He tenses. ‘Fuckin’ heard that bit- two days?’

Ian runs his hands down his face, ‘They need emergency cover, there was no one else they could call-’

‘But you’re here.’ He says through clenched teeth, and he knows he’s grasping at straws but it falls out of him before he can stop it.

‘I know.’

‘You’re here.’ He says again, and Mickey hates how fucking weak his voice sounds, his throat burns with it.
