It was 4 in the morning and everyone that was in the house was passed out. Just then, Mickey stretches, eyes still closed, barely waking up, when he feels something heavy on his chest, he snaps his eyes open to see a bunch of fire red hair, he's confused for a second until he realizes that was the Gallagher boy sleeping on him, he was snoring lightly and Mickey couldn't help but find it adorable. Mickey runs his hand through the mop of red hair then slowly moves Ian off of him trying not to wake him, then walks out of the room to find the bathroom. When he gets back to the room Ian was awake, at some point in the night Mandy had moved over to Lips bed, the only other available bed was Liam's which was way to small for Mickey to fit on. Ian was sitting up leaning against the wall while rubbing his eyes then yawning. "sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up" Mickey apologizes while sitting down on the bed, a little closer to Ian than he normally would. "No, you didn't" Ian replies in a rough, tired voice. After a couple minutes of awkward silence Ian finally speaks up "what time is it?" Mickey grabs his old flip phone from his pocket to check the time. "bout 4:30am" he states with a slight groan, "its too early" Ian says while getting up. He grabs a puffy coat and throws on some shoes and starts to walk out of the bedroom. "where you going this early?" Mickey asks slightly confused. "smoke. You coming?" Ian asked in a whisper, trying not to wake anyone. They got outside and sat on the steps of the back porch. Ian lit the cigarette and took a long inhale, he doesn't smoke often but it helps him calm his nerves so he continues to do it. After he takes a drag from the death stick, he hands it over to Mickey, but just as he is putting the cigarette into his mouth Ian makes a hasty decision, he scoots closer to Mickey and leans his head on the boys shoulder. He can feel Mick tense up for a minute and considers moving away, but then he starts to relax and continues puffing away at the cigarette. But wouldn't let Ian see the slight smile he had.
It was Christmas Eve. When Ian asked Mandy what they were doing for Christmas she told him that their dad wasn't going to be home so probably nothing like it was just another normal day, so Ian told her that she and Mickey would be coming to his house for Christmas. He won't let his best friend spend it alone. She agreed. She then went home to get a change of clothes and the gift she had for Ian. When she walked into the house Mickey was in the kitchen cooking god knows what. "hey fuck head" she shouts to her brother "what do you want?" he replies without even looking away from what he was doing. "we are spending the night at the Gallagher's house, so get your shit" she says while walking to her room, Mickey then drops what he was busy with to follow her "what? No, why?" he asks, yeah he may have wanted to go, but he also didn't want to deal with any more sappy moments with the damn red-headed boy like the last time he stayed the night there. he couldn't stop thinking about Ian and it pissed him off. "because Ian loves Christmas and refuses to let us spend it alone. Why he invited you as well is beyond me. I guess he is a lot more caring than I realized" she lets out a slight laugh at the thought of her best friend "so don't argue and just get you shit so we can go" she tells him, giving him a look that even he was slightly scared of. "fine, but I've got something I have to go do first so I'll just meet you there" "whatever" she mindlessly replies and continues getting ready
It was about 9 pm when Mickey finally got to the Gallagher house, Ian almost thought he wasn't going to show up. Which would kind of suck considering Ian got him a gift, he doesn't know why he did but he figured no one else would, so he should. "hey Mickey" Fiona greets him as he walks in. Everyone was just sitting down getting ready to watch some Christmas movie, even Kev and V where there. Ian and Mandy were sitting on the love seat, Ian decided to make a risky move and make his best friend scoot over so they could make room, it was risky for many reasons, one of which was there was plenty of space for Mickey to sit, it was likely that someone would question why he didn't just sit on the floor, but Ian didn't really care a whole lot because it was Christmas eve and he had his best friend and family all together having a good time and now Mickey was thrown into the mix? Yeah, why not risk it. He pats the spot next to him while getting a weird look from Mandy as to why she was now crammed into the corner of the couch so her brother could sit as well. He just ignores her. Fiona and Lip also noticed this, Fiona gave Lip a questioning look but he just shrugged. "Thanks" Mickey mumbles while sitting next to Ian, they were so close that their shoulders and legs kept bumping each other. At some point in the movie, Ian decided to make a really dangerous move and placed his hand on the side of Mickey's thigh, hoping no one would see. They all seemed either too into the movie or passed out. Mickey tensed up and started to turn bright red, which Ian found adorable. He then made the even more dangerous choice to move his hand up Mickey's thigh a little bit at a time, he loved the way Mickey kept fidgeting whenever he moved his hand. Mickey finally couldn't take it anymore and jumped up from his spot on the couch and ran upstairs to the bathroom "what was that all about" Lip asks "must've really had to piss" Mandy says and the two laugh a little. Mickey got to the bathroom and shut the door, leaned against it and ran his hands through his jet-black hair and sighed. Ian was going to be the death of him, he just realized he was gay and possibly had a thing for the ginger but now Ian keeps doing these things to push his buttons and get Mickey to react and it was driving him crazy.
Back downstairs it had been a good 5 minutes since Mickey had run to the bathroom "I'll be back" Ian says while getting up "where are you going?" Fiona asks "um, just gonna go check on Mick" was all he tells her before he darts upstairs "is there something going on between those two?" Lip asks Mandy, cause if anyone would know it'd be her "I'm pretty sure Mickey is straight so I don't think so" she says with a shrug.
When Ian gets upstairs, he knocks lightly on the bathroom door, but doesn't get a reply, lucky for him the door was unlocked, he opens it and walks in, just then Mickey looks up from the spot he was sitting on the edge of the tub and when he sees that it was Ian who walked in, he snapped. Mickey jumped up and as soon as Ian had the door closed Mickey had him pinned to it "what the hell was that Gallagher?" he snaps at the taller boy "what do you mean?" Ian asks in a very cocky tone like he doesn't know "don't play dumb, I'm not gay" he whisper-yells at Ian "I call bullshit" was all Ian had to say, the tension was so thick in that tiny bathroom and Mickey couldn't handle it anymore, he leans up on his tiptoes and smashes his lips to Ian's. He doesn't know what on earth he was doing but at that moment he didn't care, Ian's lips felt perfect against his, they were soft and he smelled like candy canes. Ian then grabs Mickey around the waist and picks him, then sets him on the counter. Just then someone bangs on the door and the two break the kiss and jump far apart just in time. "you guys ok?" Lip asks while poking his head in the door. Mickey was sitting on the counter, his hair all ruffled and breathing heavy and Ian's shirt a bunched up mess, it looks like they had just gotten into a fight, which was why Lip went to check on them after hearing a thud. Damn it, I'm gonna kick his ass, was all Ian could think "fine, just talking. We'll be out in a second" Mickey speaks up since Ian obviously wasn't going to "ok" he says but looks to Ian for confirmation that his little brother was ok. Ian just nods his head. Lip then shuts the bathroom door. "sorry" Mickey tells Ian. That's when Ian regains his thoughts and gets cocky again "not gay my ass" he says with a smirk, Mickey punches him in the arm hard but can't contain his own smile. "ouch" Ian fake whines as he opens the bathroom door "you're a great kisser by the way" he simply says then walks back downstairs, leaving Mickey alone, blushing like crazy and attempting to gather his thoughts, and put himself back together, then following back downstairs.
Yeah, this is gonna be a great Christmas, Ian thinks to himself as Mickey joins him on the couch, but this time intentionally sitting as close as possible to the redhead, and maybe purposely brushing his hand against Ian's occasionally as well. This time causing the red-headed tease to turn red in the face.
AN: Ok so I didn't expect this one to be as long as it is. I'm considering making a part 3, on Christmas day of them opening their gifts, let me know what you think?
Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day <3
