it was monday afternoon, around 4:15, and school had just let out about a hour ago. mickey had made plans with ian to spend the night at his house tonight. so mickey ran straight home as fast as possible to pack for his best friend's house.
as he stepped up on the stairs and made his way swiftly into the house, he brushed past mandy.

"hey buttface!! slow down! he'll still be there later!" she screamed at him, while scoffing. she knew he was going to ians place. and she knew he loved going over there.
mickey scrambled into his messy room and grabbed random clothes off the hangers. he just threw them in, not even looking at what he was grabbing. he was too excited to care. too excited to even focus. he just wanted to hurry so he could just have even a minute more of seeing ian. as he finally finished grabbing all he thought he needed, he zipped up his overnight bag and headed out until tomorrow.

ian was sitting on the couch in the living room when he heard the front door open and shut. in came mick. he knew mickey never knocked or rang the door bell, he has been coming around the gallagher household way too long for that bullshit. mickey flopped onto to the couch next to ian.

"was planning on us watching a movie together tonight, but just remembered i have mrs breland's homework." ian says towards mickey. mickey sighs while nodding. he didnt want ian to have to do his homework, he wanted to watch a movie with his friend. he always liked when they watched movies together. there was just something he liked about being so close on the couch together. they had almost an unspoken connection. but mickey understood.
"what time even is it?" mickey asks.
ian pulls his sleeve down to check the time on his watch. it reads 5:31.
"about 5:30... which means i need to start Mrs. Breland's work soon." ian exclaims. he sits up off the couch and grabs his booksack from beside the couch. he then takes all his items and heads upstairs. mickey follows him, because he doesnt want to be anywhere that ian isnt. he wants to be around him all the time. as mick steps into ians room, he shuts the door and locks it. they always have liked their privacy together.
ian sits on his hard bed and takes out all of his boring school work. before he gets started, he stares at mick and taps the rough bed, signaling him to come sit next to him. mickey rolls his eyes. ian taps the bed even harder. so mickey finally gives in and and sits next to ian on the tiny bed. they are forced to sit way to close to each other, not they either of them mind.

as the day unfolds, and ian is doing his homework, mickey fell asleep on ian's shoulder about an hour ago. ian notices mickey falling on him, with his eyes closed. ian then shakes mickey softly, but he doesn't wake. he just lets out a loud snore. instead of attempting to wake him some more, he just laughs at mickey. as he's laughing at him, he lifts himself off of his bed and carefully removes all his school work from the bed spread so he can lay mickey out. he does this slowly so he's sure that he doesn't wake the boy up. he grabs mickeys head to position him onto the pillow and throws a blanket over him. as he finishes tucking him into bed, he realizes how beautiful mickey is. that causes ian to just stare as mickey is sleeping.
