Mickey Milkovich was a respected doctor at Chicago General hospital, he was twenty eight years old and he was committed to his work, he spent his lunch break down with the kids in the cancer ward and even when he was off the clock he reads to a coma paitent who had been flown in from over seas after been blown up.
Mickey had never had an easy life, his father was a drunk, his mother a manic depressive who took her own life when he was eight and his older brothers have been in and out of trouble their whole lives but when Mickey was eleven he was placed in foster care with his younger sister Mandy. Eventually they were split up, Mandy was adopted by a couple who couldn't have children and Mickey was fostered by Mrs. Olsen, she's a saint truly, she turned Mickey's life around.
Mickey walked into the locker room like he did after every shift and took off his scrubs, changing into jeans and a t-shirt before walking down the hall and entering a pale blue room and sitting down beside the unconscious man "How are you doing today, ay?, okay where did we leave off last night, oh right they just found out the wife was having an affair".
Mickey does this every night after his shift, he sits and reads to this man. Mickey's a doctor, he knows it won't wake him up but he hopes in some way he's helping.
Mickey was making his way to his coma paitent's room when he found a man pacing outside the door "Can I help you?" Mickey asked politely "What no, wait are you a doctor?" the man asked "Yeah, I'm doctor Milkovich" Mickey said extending his hand "I'm Lip Gallagher, that's my brother in there, why won't he wake up already" Lip said shaking Mickey's hand "Well he's been out for two months now but we really are hoping for the best when it comes to him making a full recovery" Mickey answered.
Mickey was telling the truth aswell he really did want him to wake up and get better, the way he sees it is this guy is only in here because he was protecting his country and Mickey really respects that.
Mickey had fallen asleep in his chair with both of his feet on the small hospital bed when he felt something knocking his feet off, opening his Mickey saw a hand moving on the bed and looking up he saw a pair of blue eyes staring at him "Who am I?" the man asked.
Mickey waited as the Gallagher family piled out of the hospital room before he walked in, "Hey" Mickey said walking towards the bed "You were here when I woke up right?" Mickey sat down beside him in the uncomfortable wooden chair "Yeah, I'm one of your doctors, so hows the memory?" Mickey asked "My name is Ian Gallagher, I'm twenty five, I was stationed in Iraq and I got blown up" Ian replied "So it's back that's good" Mickey said smiling at him "No, but Lip? yeah Lip he uh told me the basics" Ian said frowning "Don't worry, it'll come back" Mickey said to the young man "What were you doing when I woke up? you were sleeping" Ian said to Mickey "I uh would um read to you when my shift ended" Mickey said looking away shyly "Well go on then" Ian prompted him "What?" Mickey questioned him clearly confused "Read" Ian said seriously "Oh okay" Mickey scrambled to get the book from his bang on the floor.
Mickey had continued to go to Ian's room after his shift and now during the day more than he really needs to. That's what he's doing now, he was making rounds and decided to go check on Ian "I don't remember chocolate, I feel like I'm missing out people seem to like chocolate" Ian stated sadly "Yeah chocolate is good, I'll bring you some later".
Mickey sat on the bed of Ian's bed eating his own candy bar when Ian moaned loudly "I love chocolate, I'm gonna marry chocolate and have hundreds of chocolate babies" Ian said dead seriously, Mickey couldn't help but laugh "Yeah okay Firecrotch".
Mickey walked into Ian's room the next morning "What do you say doc, can I get out of this bed?" Ian asked "I'll take you down to pediatrics with me for lunch if you want".
"I don't see why I have to be in a wheelchair" Ian whined again "Quit complaining" Mickey said lightly. "Doctor M!" a little girl wearing a pink bandanna on her head said as Mickey walked into the ward "Hey tots, I've got a friend here who wants to have lunch with us, he's called Ian".
Ian was staring at Mickey, he didn't get it, this guy didn't need to be here with these kids and he sure as hell didn't have to spend as much time with Ian as he does. Ian just doesn't understand it and he sure as hell doesn't understand what he's feeling towards the young blonde doctor.
Mickey had gone back to Ian's room later that night like he usually did and read to him until Ian eventually fell asleep, Mickey didn't understand it really he didn't even know the guy, hell the guy didn't even know himself but Mickey just can't get him out of his head. His laugh, his smile, his eyes, God even his ginger fucking hair, Mickey just couldn't get enough.
Okay so this is serious au like Mickey is so off character but what the hell, btw I prefer Noel Fisher with blonde hair because he is all kinds of beautiful so Mickey is a lovely blonde man in this :) Please review and let me know if anybody wants me to continue this story
