#I've got this headcanon that Ian absolutely cannot imagine himself being friends with a man

[alchely]

Mickey's type of friends are either very masc lesbians or aggressively gay guys like Cole, both kinds of people that see his shields and his posturing and are able to see past them.

Ian's type of friends are straight women, so he can yap about his dream kids and white picket fence house all he wants and he gets his fill of bitchy mean gossip.
