Hey cam ✨ today I’m thinking about prison boyfriends I&M… do you have any headcanons about their time in prison?

ohhh hi bestie! first of all im sure this has been said already but Ian was literally working in the infirmary, I am 100% certain he could have and would have stolen some lube packets at some point. the mayo thing was so foul and for WHAT. also perhaps slightly more controversial: I feel like during their prison era is probably when Mickey realized for sure he wanted to marry Ian. like yeah they gave each other a ton of shit constantly but I think coexisting like that with him even in a cell was probably the closest Mickey had been to feeling at home in a long long time. as much as it may seem like a no-brainer to us third parties, I don't think we fully appreciate what a huge sacrifice it was for Mickey to encourage Ian to try to get released before him, especially after Mickey turned himself in and got locked away specifically to be with him. and that's ANOTHER THING. I really want to know if they ever actually discussed what happened at the border & after. I think their time being literally locked in a room together could have been utilized to talk through a lot of shit they never had a chance to discuss before. at that point in canon they both owe each other a lot of apologies and explanations. I like to think they decided to put on their big boy pants and talk about their feelings before jumping right back into a relationship, y'know? maybe I just have a healthy communication kink tho. oh and on the same note, Ian definitely made sure to visit mickey every fuckin day after he got released.
