Ian and Mickey had been roommates for two years and most of the time they got along great but then there were moments when Mickey would curse him and Ian would go after him. They fought over the smallest things such as grocery shopping, bills and rent. Once they got that all out of the way then they'd go back to eating pizza while watching TV.
Today was not one of those pizza days.

"The fuck, Gallagher? You're supposed to talk to me before renting a channel. That costs shit!"

"I'm paying for it, Mickey. You don't have to worry about it." Ian shrugged, taking a sip of his beer.

Mickey cursed and kicked the table then cursed more as the pain shot through his foot, "You are going to get us kicked out on the street."

"Because I rented a channel?" Ian asked, "It was an hour and a half movie and it only cost two dollars."

"Those two dollars add up, fuckhead. Jesus Christ my fucking toes are throbbing!"

"Want me to kiss them and make them better?" Ian teased, grinning at Mickey's glare.

"Try it and I'll kick your teeth down your throat."

Mickey sat on the couch and grabbed his foot and just stayed quiet until the throbbing subsided.

The red head sitting beside him was a huge pain in the ass and unfortunately it wasn't in the way Mickey wanted him to be. He had the biggest crush on Ian and wanted to be with him but it was moments like this that kept Mickey from saying anything to him.

He was completely unaware that Ian felt the same way about him.

"Get me some ice." Mickey ordered, "It's the least you could do."

Ian rolled his eyes and put his beer on the table, "You act like you broke your foot."

"Ian, get me some fucking ice."

"Okay, okay." Ian laughed, "You big baby."

Ian had turned his back so he couldn't duck when Mickey tossed the remote at him and smacked him in the back of the head.

"Jesus, Mickey!"

"We're even!"

"I didn't make you kick the table!"

"Yes you did because you rented that fucking movie without talking to me!"

Ian bit his lip. He didn't want to argue with Mickey. They had been doing well for the past few weeks just hanging out after work, going out with Ian's brother or Mickey's sister. But all because of Ian renting a two dollar movie they were yelling at each other.

Ian tossed the ice pack at him, "Go nuts."

Mickey flipped him off and put the ice pack against his toes and sighed at the sensation, "Next time you piss me off make sure I'm wearing shoes."

"Well," Ian laughed, "that would mean you'd never be barefoot. I always seem to piss you off."

"That's not true." Mickey argued, "We were getting along splendidly until I got the cable bill."

Ian grabbed his beer and finished it, "Don't get worked up over two dollars again, Mick. You only have ten toes."

"Bite me, red."
