"I'm hungry! I thought you said you were going to get me some food once we left the hospital… IAN!" Mickey spat out, giving him the long face that he knew the redhead hated.
"Oh shit Mick I'm sorry! I totally forgot… I'm on it!"
The younger boy reached into his pocket to pull out his phone and walked out into the living room so that he could order some pizzas for the group. He went into the kitchen to grab some chips and pop.
"Ok the pizzas are ordered. They should be here in about thirty minutes, but I brought us some snacks until it gets here." Ian announced.
The older boy quickly snatched the can of Pringles out of his boyfriend's arm, making sure that he didn't knock the kitten off his lap.
"Since you can't have alcohol Mick, I brought some pop and water." Ian declared.
"Fuck this Ian I want a beer, Mands you want one?" Christy said as she started to get out of the reclining chair they were sitting in.
"Look bitch if I can't have alcohol neither can you" Mickey spat out without hesitation.
Christy looked at Ian for approval, but the redhead shrugged his shoulders to basically say to her that the man of the house has spoken and he isn't going against his wishes. Mandy patted the chair to tell the Christy to sit down because she didn't want her brother getting grouchy again. The blond shook her head and smiled, signaling she knew what the other girl was thinking.
Twenty minutes later there was a buzz at the door. "OoOo that must be the pizzas" Ian said as he jumped off the bed nearly scaring the poor kitten who had started falling asleep again on his boyfriend's lap.
The redhead didn't bother grabbing plates cause he knew all of them would eat the pizza right out of the boxes so he just grabbed some napkins from the pantry and headed back into the bedroom. He handed Mandy and Christy two pizzas and then kept the other two for he and Mickey.
"Finally! I'm fucking starving!" Mickey said as his boyfriend placed the pizza boxes on the bed. The kitty crawled off Mickey's lap and was now awake due to the smell of the delicious pizza.
"Little buddy, you can't have any" Ian explained as the kitten sniffed his fingers. He gently picked him up off the bed and place them on the floor.
"So boys, whatcha' gonna call him?" Christy asked with a mouth full of food.
"How bout Killa" Mickey replied. Everyone looked at Mickey all at once with 'no' written all over their faces.
"He's too cute to be a fucking Killa dickhead" Mandy responded.
"Whatever, assface. I tried" Mickey snapped back at his sister as he took a big bite of pizza.
"Why don't you let Ian name him, Mick" Christy replied.
"Slut, did I ask for your opinion?" Mickey asked smugly.
"Look dickhead, I was given a fucking mouth so I'm going to fucking use it anytime I damn well please! got it?" the blond retorted.
Mickey didn't have a comeback for her, so he just laughed and shoved a whole slice of pizza into his mouth. The redhead shook his head at his best friend and boyfriend going at it like cats and dogs. Like normal.
The group sat in silence for a few minutes enjoying their pizza and drinks.
"How bout Buttons?" Ian said out of the blue.
"Ya'll are some fucking amateurs I swear" Christy blurted out.
"Hey Ian, why don't you flip a coin to see who gets to name him and whoever win decides the name" Mandy suggested. Both boys shook their heads letting her know that indeed was a good idea.
Ian lifted off the bed to reach into his pocket where he felt some loose change. He pulled out a penny then asked his boyfriend heads or tails. Mickey replied with ass and it completely threw everyone off.
"Uh Mick there is no ass in heads or tails" the younger boy stated.
"Since I like getting ass more than head I'mma go with that" the older boy said complacently.
The girls busted out laughing nearly choking on their food and the redhead just threw his hands up signifying he wasn't going to argue with his elusive boyfriend. Ian tossed the penny in the air and then watched it as it landed on the bed heads up.
"Ha! Heads wins! Means I get to name him" Ian said confidently. He began looking around the room trying to get inspiration for the kitty's name, but he was coming up with nothing until he saw the penny lying on the bed.
"Hey what about Lincoln? We can call him Linc for short." he said with a giant grin.
"I love it!" Mandy said excitedly.
"I dig it" Christy replied. "What about you Mick what you think?"
Mickey sat there silently thinking for a moment then said "I can deal with that."
The four ate until they physically couldn't eat anymore. The group began watching some cartoon show on tv to laugh. The tv was on, but before they knew it, the tv was watching them. They were all passed clean out. The girls were passed out in each other's arms on the reclining chair while, Ian, Mickey and little Linc were all stretched out sound asleep on the bed.
"Fuck!" Mickey mumbled as he jumped sitting straight up in the bed drenched in sweat. He looked over to see if he had awoken his sleeping lover, which he didn't.
'Damn maybe he's right. I guess I do need to go see a counselor' he thought to himself. He realised he needed to do something. He had the same nightmare since he had been home from the hospital. He realized his t -shirt was drenched, so he gently slid out of the side of the bed, being careful not to wake his beautiful companion and his new baby, Linc. Looking at the adorable kitten sleeping in his bed on the floor gave Mickey's heart warmth that he never thought a little creature could.
He quietly made his way to the bathroom, taking his wet t- shirt off on the way. He threw it to the side, turned on the cold water and stood in front of the mirror. He bent slightly over the sink and splashed a handful of water on to his burning face. He felt himself getting a little dizzy so he just stood there for a minute before splashing another handful of water on to his face. When he looked up he saw the redhead standing in the doorway staring at him.
"FUCK! IAN! Don't do that! you scared the shit out of me!" the older boy yelped.
"Sorry babe, I didn't mean to scare you. Are you ok?" the redhead asked.
"Um…" Mickey hesitated, "I'ma go to counseling like you and the doctor want." He said hesitantly.
Ian's face went from sleepy to surprised. He wasn't expecting his boyfriend to admit that. "Are you sure?" he asked.
"Yeah I'm tired of these fucking nightmares. waking up in the middle of the night, hot and keeping you constantly worried. So, go ahead and make a fucking appointment, but if that fucker asks any stupid questions I'm walking the fuck out." Mickey said.
The redhead walked over to his boyfriend who was now standing with his back against the sink. He extended his arms out to the older boy to hug him.
"It's ok, I understand, but this is going to take time" he informed.
Throwing his arms around his lover's waist, resting his head on his chest, the brunette replied "I know, but I want to be over this fucking shit already."
"I know" the redhead said, hugging his companion closer to his chest. "Come on let's watch tv until we fall asleep." Ian kissed the shorter boys head and the shorter boy nodded his head in his beau's chest and signaled for him to release him so he could pick up his shirt off the floor. Ian released him. He waited for Mickey as he picked up his wet shirt to put in the dirty clothes hamper and then grabbed his hand to lead him back to bed.
Linc was now half awake, so the redhead picked him up to place him on the bed with them. Mickey cuddled his body against Ian's, resting his head on his chest while Linc was curled up next to his side. The three of them didn't fall asleep until about 3am so Ian knew he wasn't going to go into work later. He set his alarm for 9am so he could call in to let the staff know before he drifted off to sleep.
All Ian heard was the annoying ringing noise as his alarm started going off.
'Fuck, is it nine already?he thought to himself.
He gently slid from under his lover's embrace, being careful not to wake him and their sleeping kitten. He grabbed his phone and snuck off into the living room so he could call into the office.
"Grind Time Health, this is Devon how can I help you today?" the voice rang from the other line.
"Hey Devon, this is Ian." The redhead replied.
"What's up boss?" Devon asked. Ian never called into the office.
"Listen I'm not going to be in today. I need to take a personal day" the redhead informed.
"Sure. I understand boss. Whatever you need. Should I tell Kasey?" Devon asked.
"Yeah you can tell her and let her know that I will be in tomorrow."
"Ok will do, boss. see you tomorrow then."
"Alright Devon. see you tomorrow." Ian had this unsettling feeling when he got off the phone, but he wasn't sure why so he just shook it off.
He peeked into the bedroom to see the boys still sleeping just like he left them so he went to his office to find the paperwork for the counselors. He located it then flipped open his laptop to see if he could research a few. He knew that it was already a struggle for the older boy to even go, so he wanted to make sure that he picked a good one. He came across Dr. Jacob Williams on his list so he googled him to see what he was about. What Ian didn't expect was a handsome and muscular guy on his computer screen.
'Hmm I bet Mick would go if he saw what this doctor looked like' he thought to himself. So he grabbed his cell phone that was sitting on the desk next to the laptop and started dialing.
"Dr Jacob William's office, this is Alice. how can I be of help today? " a lady voiced.
"Hi, yes my name is Ian Gallagher and I was referred to your office by Dr. Crosby from Cook County Medical."
"Oh yes, how may I help you today?" the receptionist responded on the other end.
"I would like to make an appointment for my boyfriend Mickah Milkovich to see Dr. Williams please" he explained.
"Sure thing, Mr. Gallagher. How about tomorrow? I had a cancellation for 1pm." The receptionist explained.
"Yeah that's great! we can do 1pm tomorrow." Ian said, excitedly. He really hadnt planned on it being so fast.
"Alright Mr. Gallagher, I have Mickah Milkovich for 1pm tomorrow. We will see you and Mr. Milkovich tomorrow at 1pm" the receptionist exclaimed.
"Thank you, Alice." The red head said as he took a deep breath and hung up the phone.
He knew that the next day was probably going to be a rough day for not only him, but for Mickey too.
He cracked his neck as he stood up from the chair, grabbing his phone. He headed to the kitchen to grab some orange juice. He suddenly felt very thirsty. He saw that his beau and their new baby were still passed out so he quietly closed the door to the bedroom.
He grabbed a blanket from the hall closet and laid on the couch because he knew that the older boy needed as much sleep as possible considering he hadn't gotten much lately with the nightmares and all. When Mickey woke up, he realized he was alone.
Mickey walked into the living room to see his sleeping redhead on the couch with the blanket draped over his hips and his boner trying to push the Blanket away. Mickey smirked at the view and decided Ian had slept long enough.
