"All that blood..."
This week's @galladrabbles prompt comes from @auds-and-evens. Enjoy this entirely accurate recount of the events of season 5. ------------
It’s dark. Mickey pauses on the sidewalk. “You mean now?”
Ian’s buzzed off one beer. They haven’t laughed like this in weeks. “Now. Before I sober up and get all fuckin’ weird again.”
Mickey asks to borrow a shirt. Something inside Ian says no.
They walk past the house instead.
They catch the L. They head to Sizzlers, singing all the way.
The hostess asks if they’d like to clean up.
“Nah, we’re good.” Ian eyes Mickey. “All that blood looks good on you. It really brings out your eyes.“
It’s finally their first date, and Mickey looks exactly perfect.
