A love like that

Summary:

Gallavich love through the eyes of others

Notes:

This was one of my favorite fics I'd ever written bc so many people said they liked it.

When it got deleted I was truly heartbroken.

I'm going to try again.

I honestly don't know what exactly I wrote last time bc so much of my work is just done on a whim

**********Fiona*********

Fiona sat at her kitchen table sipping a cold cup of coffee as she watched Mickey Milkovich in her kitchen making toast

Should really never liked any of the milkovich's but Ian hadn't been in bed for 3 days now and neither her nor lip could get to him to be honest she was kind of upset she was his big sister and he wouldn't talk to her but somehow Mickey was able to get him to take his meds and eat the other day he even got him up and was able to help him shower

She wondered after he figured out that Ian wouldn't be getting out of bed anytime soon if he would go back home and be done with him as soon as he seen Ian what the bed and not be able to care for himself would it make Mickey' run ?

Fiona followed Mickey up the stairs, watched quietly as he grounded down by his head.

He spoke low to Ian, gently ran his hand through his hair.

She saw Ian laugh and sat up , took the pills Mickey offered and a little toast.

When he laid back down she thought Mickey would be on his way but to her surprise he curled up behind Ian and slept patiently with him.

Fiona had been worried about paying for the meds, voicing her concerns to everyone who would listen.

Mickey had suddenly came down the stairs, he looked upset.
He threw a few bills on the table and glared at Fiona.

" There's enough there for two months, after that I'll have him on insurance but for the love of dick stop bitching, he can he you and it makes him feel like a burden.... He's not a burden he's family.

Mickey stuck by Ian's side for everything, doctor appointment, therapy, meds everything and even though he bitched her and lip out she had to admit she wished she had

Chapter 2: Collin

Summary:

Collin pov

Notes:

In this little AU
Ian is bipolar obviously if you read chapter one you got that but Mickey has PTSD and panic attacks so

Chapter Text

**†*********Collin****†********

Mickey had been whipping Collins butt in Mortal Kombat.

They were both having fun so he figured a little play fighting wouldn't hurt.

Brothers wrestled all the time so he reached over and gave his brother a shove, Mickey shoved back and before he knew it he had Mickey' pinned.

He was alot bigger than Mickey so holding him down was easy except he'd forgot he forgot that one of Mickey's triggers was being held down before he could even realize it Mickey was starting to breathe weird and he started to get hunched up.

He started to beg please stop I'll be good please just let me up please don't hurt me don't kill me don't kill him don't hurt us call and try to call him down Nick Nick it's just me hey bud come on man it's just me breathe for me before he knew it Ian was shoving him off

He had Mickey' sat up , head between his knees.

Breathe with me baby.... Yup that's it... Hold and breath out...

Within minutes Mickey' was calm, Ian rocked Mickey back and forth, stroking his hair and kissing the top of his head.

Once Ian had gotten mickey into bed he confronted Colin.

You know you can't do certain things with Mick man, you weren't there when he was attacked.

Collin didn't really appreciate being spoken to that way but he did appreciate

Chapter 3: Lip

Summary:

Ian and Mickey are so annoying

Notes:

Lip is a little bit of a voyer and I don't know why I wrote it like that but I did

Chapter Text

Lip had just broken up with Mandy and Karen.

He thought they'd be ok with an open relationship but apparently not.

He's going through the fridge when he hears moaning from the living room.

Why he looks he's not sure but he does.

Ian's sat on the couch, head back, eyes closed and you can tell he's about to...

Lip sneaks away so they won't see him there but he catches Mickey eye on accident.

He's on his knees, mouth full of cock and he looks happy as fuck to be there ...

****"
Lips been working all day and he's sweaty, he just wants to take a shower but it seems the shower is already in use.

Fuck right there red, that's it..
Yea ? You like taking it fucking slut...

Lip runs away mortified that he's got a half chub going now.

He thinks bed will be safe later that night but when he passes by Ian room... ( Who now has his own since Mickey moved in)

He hears soft voices, that sounds like Mickey. He's always surprised when Mickey is gentle so he looks in.

They're in boxers, well Ian is mickey has on pink panties with lace and fuck lip thinks he looks good.

Ian is telling him how proud he is, for being brave and looking so pretty for him.

Lip knows he's interrupting on private moments here and it's annoying how loving they are but he just wants

Mickey misses Ian and Iggy wishes he had someone to miss

***†******** Iggy ******†******

Iggy was getting tired of seeing his brother so mopey.

He'd been at him at Cols place a lot lately. Him and Ian had a nice apartment but Mickey had said he couldn't stay there while he Ian was gone.

It'd only been a week and his little brother acted like the world had ended.

The Milkovichs weren't happy cheerful people but Ian was always making Mickey laugh and smile and overall made sure he was living a good life.

Always made sure Mickey was eating healthy, showering with hot water and soap.

They went places did things mickey was sober.

Now he's on his brothers coach and pouting.
His panic attacks had been bad without Ian here but Iggy promised not to tell Gallagher because Mickey knew he'd drop it all and come back.

By week 2 Iggy was getting worried, Mickey was depressed and Iggy tried to get him out of his head by getting him drunk but that made things worse as Mickey professed his love for the redhead at open mic night yikes.

Week 3 Ian was able to call. Mickey put on a brave voice told Ian he was ok and he'd see him in 7 weeks.

On week 4 he was able to go home but everyone could see how sad he was.

Ian came home before week 5 he knew Mickey to well he knew his panic attacks were to severe and the Milkovichs were never good at handling them.

First thing he did was make sure Mickey ate.... Healthy Iggy not crap .. then they showered... With real soap Iggy....

Finally Mickey' was able to sleep for the first time in a month and Iggy was happy to see his brother have someone to miss.

Maybe someday he'll have a

Chapter Text

*************Debbie***********

Debbie is sitting at the table, trying to get some homework finished.

She hears footsteps running down the stairs and laughter.

When she looks up Ian is jumping on Mickeys back almost crashing to the floor.

Mickey calls Ian an overgrown giraffe and Ian tickles him and calls him a short thug muffin king.

She herself laughs at that. That's when Mickey hits her with a marshmallow and then Ian is throwing bread and then Mickey is using the kitchen sink to spray him with water.

She finally breaks and yells at them because she's trying to actually get a good grade on this.

Mickey sits down to help her because dudes a math genius.

The whole time Ian is looking at him with puppy dog eyes and it's disgusting.

She hasn't had anyone to have fun with in so long it be nice to have

A love like that

Chapter 6: Mandy

Summary:

Mandy liked Ian first

Chapter Text

********Mandy *********

Mandy thinks Mickey is being a pathetic baby.

So he's got the flu whatever.
He missed two days of school and Ian had went around and made sure all his assignments were done.

Like her stupid brother ever cared, not until Ian started talking about futures and shit.

Ian's in Mickey' s room fluffing his pillows, giving him medicine and he even brought him his favorite Gatorade.

She hears Mickey ask for the Remote so he can watch TV but Ian tells him no because he needs rest.

Surely her asshole brother will be pissed right... O of course not because for Ian hell agree to anything.

Ugh she can't stand them.

Ian makes dinner for the three of them, helping Mickey to the couch making sure he sips his soup like a baby bird or something.

She liked Ian first, why does Mickey get a

Love like that

Chapter 7: Sandy

Summary:

I always wanted the back story to why Sandy didn't like Ian ...

They apparently knew each other but she was a new character to me so

Chapter Text

********** Sandy *************

Mickey had always been her favorite cousin.
Two gay Milkovichs who were forced to be someone they weren't just to get acceptance from their so called family.

They both hated the world and Sandy thought they probably both die in prison, hating everyone but at least they'd have each other.

Then came along Ian, alien looking thing.
He made Mickey laugh like no one else could.

He cut down on his drinking and smoking because Ian cared about his health what the fuck ever.

She had been invited to their new apartment, freshly married.

Mickey seemed happy.
The apartment was warm, clean, small but homely.

Ian let the two visit without interrupting but he made Mickey muffins with Snickers and cook him up a huge breakfast.

He reminded Mickey to take his anxiety medication because that was something her cousin did now, took care of his mental health.

All because of Ian.
Ian would walk by and kiss Mickey's head, and he'd just smile he didn't even jump like the Mickey she knew would.

Mickey had changed for the better.

Sandy felt left behind she wasn't sure if she ever wanted a

Chapter 8: Carl

Summary:

Carl is a huge Gallavich fan

Notes:

I've always thought Carl would think Mickey is cool 😎

Chapter Text

**************Carl*************

Carl can't really remember a time where Ian and Mickey were not a pair.

First as best friends. Both were always cool , taught him to burn and fart.

Mickey taught him how to make a shiv Ian taught him to shoot both taught him how to fight.

Mostly though they taught him to love without even knowing.

When Ian was diagnosed with bipolar Mickey' dove right in to care for him.

When Mickey had panic attacks Ian knew just how to calm him down.

Carl learned how to forgive and compromise through them.

So when some kids at school shouted slurs at them and fist were thrown Carl wasn't surprised Mickey stepped in front and took the first punch

He also wasn't surprised when Ian was there to patch him up

That guy didn't understand, no slurs would ever make Ian and Mickey stop loving each other he'd probably never have

A love like that

Chapter 9: Svetlana

Summary:

Svetlana and how she realized

Notes:

Y'all I'm not a svet fan so I'm sorry but I hope you enjoy anyway

Chapter Text

**************Svetlana*********

Despite how they came to be Svetlana really did try to make a family with Mickey she actually thought he was very handsome and she wanted to make having a child work with him and that is why she pushed so hard to try to get in away even going so far as to threaten his life

It worked for a while Ian stayed away and Mickey did good at pretending that humans front lawn I were a regular old husband and wife even holding her hand and taking her to dinner and then even really doing it up by kissing her and hugging her in front of Terry

It was actually Mandy who came up and confronted her Mandy was upset that Svetlana would go out of her way to try to push away two people who really loved each other

As a couple months went by and svetlana's stomach grew bigger and bigger the baby she was having she started to realize just how miserable her husband was he would sleep in the same bed as her but would sleep in the sleeping bag and as far away from her as he could get she would try to initiate cuddling or even sex and he would push her away she could see how he never really laughed it was always fake laughter and the sparkle in his eyes whenever he would see Ian was never directed at her

Mickey couldn't pretend for long before finally he had to let Ian come back into his life little by little and their love for each other just couldn't be pushed away anymore no matter how much want to threatened to tell Terry they just couldn't stay away from each other

Surprisingly Ian was there for Svetlana and the baby was born even coming to the labor he would help feed the baby at every hour of the night change him play with them and soon became a regular fixture in their household

Svetlana never understood how this man could love her baby as much as he did so when she asked carrot boy about it he just simply simply stated I love Mickey therefore I love anything that comes from Mickey

A few years later a paternity test was done at the persistence of Mickey and it was found that the baby was not Mickey's this wasn't really a surprise to spell Lana but she thought surely Mickey would be done with her and with that Ian would go too

That however was not the case they stayed in the baby's life and helped sweat line or raise him they went by Papa and daddy much to sweat on his dismay and slate delight

Mickey had asked for a divorce so that he could properly marry Ian when the baby you have guinea was only 5 years old at first she was sad because she'd really wanted Mickey to beat her husband she tried so hard to be the perfect wife putting on skimpy outfits cooking up Mills doing everything she could to keep him but as she discovered watching them love each other he Mickey would never love her the way that he loved Ian and she finally had to agree to let Mickey have his divorce so that he could marry Ian give yevgany was allowed to be a ring beerer and it was a very happy occasion Svetlana just really hope that one day she would be able to have a true love like that
