The Secret Between Us//Gallavich

28| Memory lane

MICKEY
3 years a long fuckin' time. It's weird to know that 4 years ago, Ian and I were just starting our secret relationship. Now, Ian and I had our own house, and the Gallaghers were still living at their house, except Fiona had moved away, but not very far.

Ian had also become an EMT, which was a surprise to no one. Ian was 4 days from turning 21, which freaked me out, considering I was 23.

There was one box that had yet to be opened since moving into our new house. Everything was done. Opening the box, I smiled at things inside. This was our memory box. We had created it years ago when we first met. The first thing I pulled out of it was a large dildo that was unused and still in it's box. Why did we have it? Well, Ian gave it to me as a joke for my birthday a while back. Placing the box on the table beside me, I rummaged deeper inside the box, pulling out folders of photos, items of clothing and other memorabilia.

I pulled out one of my old t-shirts, trying to remember why this was in the box. Holding it up, and staring at it for what seemed like forever, I was still unsure, until Ian walked into the living room, seeming to recognise it.

"Shit. I didn't know we kept that!" Ian smiled, taking the t-shirt out of my hands.

"You wore this shirt the day that we asked Mandy for help with our relationship." Ian reminded me. I smiled, finally remembering that day.

"Ian, kiss me, like you would kiss Mickey." Mandy spoke, smiling. I watched as Ian's face dropped.

Without warning, her lips ended up on Ian's.

Out of nowhere, I went silent.

"Mandy! Jesus Christ! If you're gonna kiss your boyfriend, then at least have your door closed!" Terry hissed. I pulled away, shocked by what had just occurred. Terry shut the bedroom door, leaving Mandy, Ian and I in Mandy's bedroom.

"What the fuck just happened?" I asked, confused.

"My better idea." Mandy smirked again.

"I kinda get it..." Ian smiled.

"Kinda get what? Why the fuck did Mandy just fucking kiss you?" I asked, trying not to be jealous.

"Mandy thinks that her and I should pretend to date so that you and I can still be a couple behind closed doors." Ian smiled, agreeing with Mandy.

"Huh?" I was still confused.

"Listen up, dickwad. If Ian and I pretend to date, everyone is less likely to know that it's really you and him making out in your bedroom every time Ian comes over. Everyone will think that you have a girlfriend, everyone will think that I have a boyfriend. It's a win-win situation." Mandy smirked.

I put the shirt back on the table, my heart fluttering at the sight of all the shit that we had kept over the years. As I put everything back into the box, putting the lid back on, I looked over at Ian, who was making himself some coffee.

Grabbing my phone, I dialled Lip's number.

"Hey Lip, it's Mickey. I have an idea for Ian's birthday." I spoke as I walked away from Ian, making sure he couldn't hear my conversation.

(Ian's Birthday)

IAN
I woke up to a familiar set of lips sucking on my dick. I smirked, letting out a very loud groan as he went faster.

"Oh- That's definitely- fuck- a Birthday wake- fuck- up." I groaned in between my sentence, feeling a sense of release. I blinked a few times, Mickey poking his head out from underneath the bedsheets.
