"Why won't they stop?"

Summary: Atlas is being bullied because she has gay dads. Ian and Mickey find out about it after she kept it to herself for a long time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Atlas came home crying, she slammed the door and ran up to her room. She was so upset that she didn't realize that Ian and Mickey were home early. They walked up to her room, slowly opening her door.

"Hey Atlas?", Ian said softly
"Go away"
"What happened?"
"I don't want to talk about. Leave me alone"
"We're not leaving. What's wrong?", Mickey said and sat down on her bed while Ian sat in the chair by her bed. Atlas got up and wiped her tears.

"For the last couple of months, people have been bugging me because I have gay dads", she said quietly, looking down at her fiddling hands.
"What?!", Mickey shouted
"Mick calm down", Ian put his hand on his leg, "why didn't you say something?"
Atlas just shrugged
"Am I gonna have to fucking pound on some people?", Mickey asked
"Mick"
Atlas smiled, "no that won't be necessary"
"Well, next time this happens, will you please tell us?" Ian asked
Atlas nodded

~ Time Skip ~

A few weeks have passed and she was still getting picked on. She has becoming more and more depressed. Ian and Mick started to pick up on it. One day Atlas didn't have the energy to get up from bed. After that she didn't go to school for a couple of days.

"Hey sweetie?", Mick walked into her room, "c'mon let's get up now"
Atlas pulled the sheets over her head even more.
"Come on"
Atlas groaned, "I don't want to"
"I know but it's time"
"No"
"Hey I made your dad get out of bed when he was depressed which means I can make you get up"
Atlas sat up and hugged her pops. Mickey hugged her tight, kissing the top of her head.
"Why won't they stop?", Atlas asked
"I don't know hun"
"Like I don't understand. Why are they such assholes? We're 15, shouldn't we be matured by now?"
"Fuck I wasn't"
"Yeah well you're different"
"Why's that?"
"Cause you were born and raised in the South Side, you're a Milkovich and you're not even mature now so"
"Fair enough. Hey, how about we go do whatever you want today?"
"Really?"
"Yeah, but only if you don't tell your dad"
"Deal"

Atlas and Mickey came back home. Ian was sitting on the couch.

"Where did you guys go?", Ian asked
"Nowhere", Mickey replied
"Uh huh"

Mickey kissed Ian than sat down. Atlas joined them after putting her stuff in her room.

"Make some room"
Ian and Mickey scooted down so that she could sit than scooted in closer.
"You're going to school tomorrow", Ian said
"Fine by me"
"Okay what did you guys do today? Atlas?"
"Don't ask me. Ask your husband"
Ian looked at Mick
"Fuck I'm not telling you Gallagher. It was our day together, you're not allowed to know"
Ian rolled his eyes, "didn't know you were so good at making people feel better"
"The fuck you talking about. I made you feel better so many times"
"Yeah but you also made me feel like shit"
"Oh whatever. You did it to me to"
Atlas started laughing to herself
"What are you laughing at?", Ian asked
"Nothing, I just love how you guys argue over the littlest things"
Mickey laughed than Ian laughed. They watched tv but not really cause Ian and Mick kept arguing.

It's 4 in the morning and the sun is about to come up. I need fucking sleep.
