Falling for a Gallagher

Terry Milkovich

"What are you doing" terry asks.

I was frozen, feeling like I was going to be killed by mickey's dad.

"Um just hanging out, drinking, smoking" mickey says.

"Having his dick up your ass doesn't look like drinking to me" he says.

"Dad just leave" mickey says.

"Ha ha, I'm not your dad you fag" he says.

Mickey looked hurt. I wanted to go over and comfort him so badly, but before I could I fell to the ground. A shot of pain came to my nose as I felt blood go down my face.
I look up to see terry punching mickey in the nose too before he walks away.
I look over to see mickey crying as the blood slowly made its way down his face.
I run over to him and try to hold him but he pushes me away.

"This would've never happened if I didn't fall for you gallagher" he says before leaving.

Mickey loves me?

I walk home, tears falling. I can't believe what happened. He said he loved me but then walked away, how could he do this.
I loved mickey so much and when he admits his feelings he runs from them. I was sad and upset at the same time.
I walk in, fiona was sitting on the couch with lip.
She instantly runs over to me.

"Ian what happened?" She asks.

"Can I talk to you alone" I say.

"Yeah, come on" she says.

We walk back outside and sit on the porch. She puts her arm around my shoulder as I continued to cry. As I slowly calmed down I look at her.

"Fiona I'm gay" I say.

"Yeah, I know" she says.

"I love mickey."

"Does he love you back?" She asks.

"Yeah but he walked away after admitting it" I say.

"Why?"

"His dad caught us at the dugout and punched both of us, then he said that it wouldn't have never happened if he didn't fall for me" I say.

"Ian it'll be ok, if he loves you he'll come back" she says.

"I don't know if he will" I say.

I was closing my eyes trying to keep my tears in.

"Something tell me otherwise" she says.

"What?"

"The fact that I did" I hear mickey say.

I look up and there he is. His eyes were puffy and he was carrying a bag.

"Mickey?" I ask stupidly.

"Yeah."

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"My dad kicked me out" he says.

I run to him and hug him tightly. He drops his bag and hugs me back. I again let the tears flow, mickey was crying too.
I see fiona going back inside, but my eyes went back to mickey when he pulled my head forward. He kissed me passionately and we stayed like that for awhile, my hands in his hair.
I still had tears in my eyes but for a completely different reason.
Mickey and I go back inside and to my room. Lip looked confused as we walked past him. Fiona just looked at him and he nodded his head.
As we got to my room I see carl and liam sleeping. I go to my bed and pat the spot next to me. Mickey comes over lays down beside me, he pulls me close. That's where I fall asleep.

"Wake up" I hear mickey say.

I look over to see him with a cup of coffee in his hands, he was smiling.

"I can't lie gallagher, your bed head is adorable" he says.

This makes me shocked, this wasn't mickey. Have I changed him.
I walk over to him and pulled him close and planted my lips on his, kissing him.

"I love you so much mickey" I say.

"Yeah I fucking love you too gallagher" he says.
