Lovely Gallavich Things

One day Mickey asks Ian to teach him how to play. Ian is, of course, more than happy to teach him. Ian’s standing behind Mickey, helping him position his fingers and the guitar. He quickly loses focus though, and starting pressing kisses to Mickey’s neck, occasionally mumbling things like “sounds good” when Mickey manages to strum a chord properly. 

Mickey eventually gets tired of the guitar, and too distracted by Ian. He puts the guitar down on the floor and turns around in his chair to face his idiot. He puts his hands on Ian’s hips, thumbs rubbing gently. “You’re a shit teacher, you know that?”

Ian just smirks. “I know. How about we go practice at something we’re both good at?”

It will be okay, anon. Just try not to think about it.

The reasons for breaking them up actually lie in Noel Fisher not being able to guarantee his availability for next season due to filming for the TMNT sequel, so it was necessary to end the season with something that would explain Mickey’s absence while also contributing to Ian’s continuing story line. At the moment, no one knows the filming schedule for TMNT and therefore Noel’s availability (or if it is known, it hasn’t been released to the public yet), but it’s been speculated that he should be free for the back half of s6 -  meaning there is still a chance Mickey will be back next season at some point. 

This interview with John Wells makes it pretty clear that the intention is to continue their story so long as Noel is available, and Noel Fisher adores Shameless and Mickey Milkovich, so we’re pretty sure that he will be back eventually, even if not next season.

Ian wakes up late one morning and he’s rushing around, worried that he’ll be late for work. Mickey, who has the day off, is sitting on their bed with the sheets all bunched up around him. He’s got a slight pout on his face because Ian hasn’t given him a ‘good morning’ kiss yet, and it’s really starting to piss him off.

Just as Ian’s about to leave, he finally glances over at his disgruntled boyfriend. Immediately knowing what’s wrong, he rolls his eyes and lets out a soft laugh. He walks over quickly and grabs Mickey’s face with both of his hands, giving him a long kiss. Finally he pulls back, satisfied with the small smile on Mickey’s lips. “I love you, and now i’m going to be late. See you tonight!”
