` Ian Gallagher wanted to do something very special for his amazing boyfriend, Mickey Milkovich, on their three year anniversary. Especially after all of the pain that they have overcame during the course of their relationship. So he thought about it was time for him to pop the question because he knew in his heart that Mickey was the only guy for him and he wanted to spend the rest of his life with him. Ian thought long and hard about how he wanted to propose to the man he loved. Until one day at work he came up with the best way to pop the question. After about a few weeks, Ian went to the nearest jewelry store in order to get the perfect ring. This wasn't an easy thing to do because he knew Mickey wasn't a big jewelry guy.

A few days later on the night of their anniversary, Ian knew that Mickey didn't like being romantic. So he decided to have a nice quiet evening at his house with Mickey. Ian was so nervous that he felt sick to his stomach because he knew that they were about to take a major step in their relationship. So after they finished watching a movie, he took Mickey by the hand and they headed to the store that they worked at together because that is where they first met. "Why did you bring me here?", asked Mickey. "You will just have to wait and see", said Ian.

As they walked into the store, Ian asked Mickey to go into the fridge to get him a drink. So he headed towards the fridge and grabbed a drink. He turned around to give Ian the drink, when he saw him down on one knee. "What are you doing, Firecrotch", asked Mickey. " Well we have been through a lot of these years and there is no one I would have gone through all of that with. I love you with all of my heart," said Ian. He took a deep breath and then he asked, "Mickey Milkovich, will you marry me? " As tears ran down his face, Mickey looked deep into Ian's eye and said,"Yes, Firecrotch."

Ian got a huge smile on his face as he stood up, placed the ring on Mickey's finger and gave his a big kiss and huge hug. He couldn't believe that he actually said yes because he had a very hard time trying to figure out Mickey's emotions. So after they hugged, they stood there for a while just smiling and staring into each other's eyes. Then Mickey took his fiancé by the hand and walked into the fridge and they made love all through the night to celebrate their engagement. They had fallen asleep in each other's arm on the floor of the store.

Mickey woke up with Ian sleeping in his arms. He didn't want to wake him and he secretly loved cuddling with him. But he couldn't stop smiling as he would look at his engagement ring because he knew that this marriage would be the one that he actually wanted. The reason is because his previous marriage was a forced upon him by his father. But Mickey didn't have to worry about his father sticking his nose in his engagement because his father was still in prison for being in a bar fight after Mickey came out to everyone in the bar.

"Good morning Mick", said Ian as he woke up after a long night. "Morning Gallagher", Mickey said as he leaned over and kissed his fiancé. Neither one of them wanted to get up so they laid on the floor cuddling for a few hours. Until Ian decided it was time for them to get up and head back to his house. So they both stood up and put their clothes back on. After they got dressed, Mickey told Ian to stay in the store until he got back because there was something that he wanted to do.

He left the store and headed to the nearest jewelry store in order to get an engagement ring for Ian because he didn't think that it was right for him to be the only one to have a ring. As he returned to the store, he walked up behind Ian and wrapped his arms around him. "Where did you go," Ian said. "I went to the store to get you a ring because it wasn't right that I am the only one to have a ring", said Mickey. So he took the ring and placed it on Ian's finger. "Thank you so much. I love it and I love you", Ian said. He then gave Mickey a huge kiss and went back to staring at his ring.

After stared at his ring for a while, he looked at Mickey and said, "Lets go home and change before our shift starts in a few hours." So they walked out of the store and locked the door behind them. They held hands and headed towards Ian's house in order to shower and change their clothes before they had to head back up to the store to start their shifts.

As they walked into Ian's house, Ian saw that all of his brothers and sisters were sitting into the kitchen eating lunch. "Are you ready to do this," whispered Ian. "I guess now is as good of a time then any," Mickey said. They both took a deep breath, looked into each other's eyes and headed into the kitchen.

"Hey you guys, we have some exciting news," Ian said. All of his brothers just looked at them waiting to hear the news. After a few moments, Ian took a deep breath and then said, "We are engaged." One by one his brothers and sisters came up to them, told them congrats and gave them a really big hug. A few minutes later, Ian and Mickey went upstairs in order to get ready for work. Instead of taking turns taking a shower, they decided to just take a shower together.

When they got out of the shower, they went to Ian's room to get dressed for the day. But neither one of them wanted to go to work because they wanted to just lay in bed all day and cuddle. After they got dressed, they just laid in bed and cuddled until they had to start heading to work. So Ian and Mickey got out of bed , headed down the stairs, went out the back door and headed to work for the night.
