Hey guys! So I've never really done anything like this before and I know I'm really late with the whole Gallavich fandom, but I just started watching Shameless, and instantly fallen in love with them. I really hope you enjoy reading!

It had been almost 3 months since Ian Gallagher had left him. And yet Mickey still couldn't get rid of the feeling he had at night, when he was lying in bed alone. The dent had since left the place where Ian once slept, and although he knew it didn't mean anything, he refused to sleep on that side. Ian's side.

Pulling the covers over himself, he was shocked to see Mandy storm into his room.

'The fuck do you want?' he asked, confused as too why she had walked further into his room. It's not like she had to walk through it anymore to use the bathroom. He moved into his fathers room as soon as he went back to jail, knowing he wouldn't be back any time soon.

'It's Ian' she replied, her eyes holding back the tears that were about to fall.

'And why do you think I'd give a fuck?' he spat.

'Stop acting like that. Like you don't care about him any more. Stop denying how you feel about him, you don't always have to be the tough guy you know? Your allowed to fucking feel something sometimes' she cried, tears streaming down her face.

With that he stood up and barged past her, out the door. 'Who the fuck do you think your talking to, eh? Don't you dare talk to me like that. You have no fucking idea how I feel, so just get out of my face will ya?'

'Well, if you wanted to see him, he's in the intensive care unit at the hospital'.

'He's where? What? Why would he be there. Shit Mandy what the hell did he do?'

'I don't know, he won't talk to anyone, just keeps screaming. They've had to sedate him the whole time.', she replied, pulling her coat on, 'oh, and in case you were wondering, Fiona leaves at 9 each night, something about how she doesn't want to see him like that at night. Apparently he screams until he ends up falling asleep'.

'Shit'

'Go visit him, it sounds like he needs you'.

'Don't tell me what I should do, shitface'.

'Pussy'

'Fuck you!', and with that, he left, knowing where he would end up.

As he walked through the corridors of the intensive care unit, he wondered how Ian ended up there. What if he didn't want to see him, if he was over him?

'Ian Gallagher's room?', he asked the nearby nurse.

'End of the hall and too the left', she replied, pointing where to go.

He walked away, not even thanking the woman. Hell, he was never one for manners.

As he approached the door, he knew instantly that he was in the right room, for he could hear the screams, making his hair stand on ends. He hated it when Ian screamed like that. But he hated himself even more for caring.

He opened the door, not too sure why his hand was shaking.

'What the fuck are you doing here Milkovich?' Fiona screamed.

'Is he alright?' he replied, almost a whisper.

'Why do you even give a shit? He's been screaming for you for days, and no one knows why. It's not exactly like you two were mates or anything'.

At that he heard another scream, and without thinking, he ran over to Ian's side, letting him know he was there.

'Hey Ian, it's me, Mickey. It's alright, I'm here now okay? Look man, you gotta stop screaming, it'll be alright okay? It's all gonna be alright'. He cradled his face, not thinking that Fiona was still in the room.

Slowly, Ian started to calm down, matching his breathing to Mickeys'. Raising his hand to touch Mickeys', he whimpered, clearly in obvious pain.

'What the hell? How did you do that? The only way we've stopped him from screaming was by sedating him'. Fiona asked, clearly shocked.

'I dunno do I? he replied

'Ian, you okay now?' Fiona asked.

'Get the fuck out Fiona, I told you I don't want you here'. Ian screamed.

And with that, Fiona stormed out the room, leaving Mickey and Ian alone.7

Hey guys! So please leave reviews and let me know how you think! I'm not too sure if I've made Mickey to soft too early on? But I guess this is based during season 4, yet Ian hasn't told Mickey he left for the army yet. Also, Mickey doesn't have a kid or a wife in my version! I hope you enjoyed the first chapter, and remember, please leave reviews!
