The Silence in the Room
Silence filled the room as the Russian dressed. Ian and Mickey remained seated where they were; Mickey on the couch feeling used and humiliated, but mostly ashamed. And he hated that he felt that way. Because, he repeated this mantra to himself, it wasn't his fault. Ian sat on the chair, fist still in mouth, shedding silent tears. The door slams. Looking up at the sound they realized they were alone. Ian gulped. Chancing a look at Mickey through heavy lashes, Ian started, "Mickey".
"Don't" Mickey said, squeezing his closed eyes a bit with a slight tilt to his head. "Just". He lets out an audible breath. "Just go". Silence fills the room once more. Nobody moves. "Please".
The chair creaks in relief as Ian gets up off of it. He searches for his clothes strewn about the floor and puts them on in the silence of the room. Taking one last look at Mickey, Ian shuts the front door.
Alone, Mickey closes his eyes and lets unshed tears fall from his eyes. Mickey sits there on the couch head in hands silently weeping and all he's left with is the silence in the room.
Notes: [Where did Terry go? one might ask, I don't know. So I just skirted around it, as I see the writers doing for the next episode. Ian will just be back at the boys home with no explanation and I can understand that, cause this is a hard scene to write if you think about the logistics.]
*Also if you're asking why would Terry leave Ian and Mickey alone? This is the same guy who still thinks it's Ian that impregnated his daughter, and thinks that you can fuck somebody straight, so I think it's safe to say he's not the brightest crayon in the coloring box.
*This is not me depicting Mickey pulling away like so many think he will. I don't think Mickey will pull away from Ian because of what happened. That's not what's happening in this first scene or chapter or vignette or whatever you want to call it. It's just too much just happened to dissect and talk or try to reconcile at that moment. All Mickey wants at that moment is to be left alone. To think, to digest.
