SHAMELESS CREATORS NETWORK — event one

when Mickey finally manages to make contact with his long-time crush—the lifeguard at their local public pool—it doesn’t go exactly as planned. granted, trying to impress the guy by doing laps when he can’t swim for shit wasn’t the brightest of ideas in retrospect.

thank god the behemoth—Ian, he later learns—is there to save him and blame it on the lungful of chlorine water or the lack of oxygen in his brain but Ian is definitely flirting with him right after performing CPR (“dude i told you i’m fine—why are you singing the fucking bee gees anyway?”). he’s smiling at him, staying by Mickey’s side for longer than necessary. he even offers to give him some private swimming lessons once the pool closes that afternoon and Mickey has browsed enough pornography in his lifetime to get the fucking hint. private lesson his ass (hopefully)

turns out Ian is either a massive, clueless dork or he’s fucking with Mickey big time

summer days, drifting away

summary:

“Think this counts as a picnic?” Ian asks, dusting the crumbs off of his chest and leaning back on his palms. Mickey chucks one of his leftover crusts to a seagull and snickers as the bird tries to choke it down whole. “A picnic?” Mickey scratches his head. “I dunno. Maybe. Does it matter?” Ian nods. “It’s on my ‘Things To Do This Summer’ list.” Mickey flops back onto the grass and covers his face with his hands. “Christ, there’s a list?!”
