Ian is such a caring owner 😌

Crying because I just realized Mickey probably never bottomed with anyone else. Before the whole flip-fuck thing, Mickey always said he didn't want to top because he was already doing it in either juvie or prison; I doubt he would have trusted anyone else in the south to keep his secret. Which means that, from day one, he allowed Ian to see him at his most vulnerable and enjoyed it 🥹

This scene always kills me because of three things:

1. Gallavich are canonically into somno, and I'm having very perverted thoughts about it all 😵‍💫

2. The way Ian slaps and grabs his husband's ass.

3. Their little smile directed at each other at the end 🥹 They love each other so much. For someone who whines about smiling, Mickey sure does smile a lot when it comes to Ian.

The way Ian's eyes scan his husband's body up and down and the slight smirk pulling at his lips at the end 😵‍💫

I think we need to analyse this scene a little today:

This scene is short, but probably one of my favorite in the whole show. Gallavich are finally together again, they're navigating being stuck together, but Ian has to get out of jail; they'll have to be once again separated. For the first time, Mickey is the one fighting for Ian to leave.

Why? Because he cares about him. It shows how he places Ian above what he personally wants or believes in. Ian comes first.

And that whole dialogue:

"I wanna be where you are, Mickey!"

"You don't get to be."

It's what Shameless has shown countless of times; Gallavich want to be together, and they get separated. As if they don't belong together. And this time, Mickey urges it's because Ian needs to have a stable job and go see his nephew; showing once again how much he cares about Ian.

"I love you."

"I know."

It's the second time Ian tells Mickey he loves him out loud. When was the first time? Before he left Mickey at the Mexico border. To me, Mickey's answer is so telling.

He knows.

Despite everything that life has thrown at them, despite all the hardships, the times Ian left and the times Mickey was running away from himself too, he knows. He knows Ian loves him, wants to be where he is. He might have had little periods of self doubt, obviously, but deep down, he has always known. Always felt that what he and Ian had was unlike anything else; why else would he come back and risk himself otherwise? For sure, there's his love for Ian, but being in the same cell...I firmly believe Mickey has always known that he and Ian loved each other and were it for each other. Even when Ian was leaving, he knew it was only a question of time before they found each other again.

And now, life threatens to separate them again. It hurts, it's scary, but Mickey wants the best for Ian. Because he has always known that no matter what happens, Ian loves him, wants to be with him. And the feeling is mutual.

Not only this, but it's also the first scene in which they both say "I love you" to each other. Shows how strong and solid they are, no matter what happens. All that matters is that they love each other. They're meant to be together.

I'm so happy they got their happy ending.

To @dante-transceratops that said "Trans Mickey rights" to my post, YES!! As a fellow trans man, early seasons Mickey just gives the unhinged feral rat vibes that just screams trans and I'm all for it

Hi everyone :) I'm fairly new to the shameless fandom but I'm searching for people to either talk or rp Gallavich! I play Mickey and I'm comfortable with pretty much everything! Just like this post if you're interested and I'll message you :)

I like to imagine that, as time goes by, Ian convinces Mickey to stop dying his hair black and accepts his strawberry blonde hair. And, of course, they also adopt a stray cat they found in their neighborhood. Ian's gallery, unbeknownst to Mickey of course, is full of pictures like this <3 (his husband will kill him if he shows them to anyone, but Ian thinks they are far too cute)

Things never change <3 (aka Ian showing his lovestruck smile whenever Mickey is around)
