GALLACRAFTS | THEME 37 | FRIENDSHIP

i am a firm believer that mandy and ian like to have sleepovers and mickey is too stubborn to sleep somewhere else. too bad mandy and ian like to stay up late playing mario kart while all mickey wants to do is sleep.

@gallacrafts || Second Entry

Theme - Friendship / Ian Gallagher and Mandy Milkovich

Well its been a while since I made a @gallacrafts , I have a little craft and a little fic for all you lovely friends. I've always been with the side that Mickey and Tami become besties after the show. And were we really gonna get though this theme without making bracelets.

The Alibi hummed with conversations, some a little too loud, and others a little too slurred. It had been an impromptu sort of celebration, but then again it didn’t take much of a reason to get the Gallaghers into a party mood she supposed.

Ian and Mickey sat at the bar enjoying each other’s company, even if they still lived on the Northside, they always slotted right back into the neighborhood they came from.

Debbie was still trying to flirt her way into free drinks, regardless of her current ‘friends’ gender. Based on her dancing skill it must have been working somewhat tonight.

Carl was behind the bar keeping up with orders, filling glasses, wiping spills, and changing kegs. Liam right behind him running the register, and definitely not letting anyone slack on their tabs.

Lip had long gone home, taking their kids and Franny with him to get tucked into beds. He had insisted she stayed; it was kinda her party after all. So, she had stayed sitting in a corner booth, enjoying some new fruity beer that Carl had started stocking last month.

While she watched they family she had been slowly let into, Mickey slid into seat across from her. They had formed a friendship over the years, bonded over the Gallagher chaos they had both willing joined. Helped each other out and took tuns venting whenever their respective partners where being too stubborn.

“Still can’t see why you picked Lip, but about time you officially join the family, congrats” He gestured to her new adorned left hand

“Thanks Mick” looking down at her hand smiling softly. Her sisters had been supportive even if she could tell they were unimpressed with the size.

“You already added two more Gallaghers to the bunch, mise well join in too” Hes shuffling to reach into his pants pocket, then pulling out a fist with purple string sticking out.

“Here, Franny and I made this for yah” Slipping a purple and white beaded bracelet over the rim of her glass “she really into making these lately, some music singer thing”

He then drops a blue matching one over the neck of his beer bottle “Insisted I have one too” rolling his eye a little.

They may not have started out as friends, just seeing him as some scary guy Ian brought home from prison, when she had a new baby to figure out. Well she didn’t make they best impression either, as just Lips annoying baby mamma.

This now, it meant a lot. Being really let in, fully to the family by one of its most protective and long term added members. She would be a Gallagher too.

Hello our friends at @gallacrafts ! I didn’t get a chance to make a physical craft this month, so I offer you and all my friends this (short) themed, multi-genre’d mixed tape.

Ian probably sends Mandy one super random song a month and she compiles them here for safekeeping?
