More Jousting Knights for another @galladrabbles for this week's "Caught up" prompt from @juliakayyy

---

"Don’t know how I got so caught up in you," Ian whispered, his head resting on Mickey’s chest, "but I'm glad I did."

Mickey gently pressed his lips to Ian’s still healing head.

"Did you get enough?" Ian asked.

"Yeah. We have enough." He'd earned the last of what they needed from the joust. It made him sick but it was their best path forward.

"Can we leave tomorrow?"

"You're still recovering-

"I'd rather do that with you on the beach. I want to be where you are, that will help me."

Mickey’s heart clenched.

"Yeah…yeah, we can leave tomorrow."

galladrabbles “caught up” 2!

hello i love this prompt soooo here’s another @galladrabbles for this week’s prompt “caught up” from @juliakayyy !!! enjoy some anniversary-party-slow-dancing gays today

— — — — — —

“All this for me, huh?” Ian gestures the room with his head, his arms still draped around Mickey’s shoulders.

His eyes meet Mickey’s, the clatter and noise around them falling nearly silent as their eyes lock. He can’t manage to break his gaze, completely enthralled by Mickey’s beaming expression and soft stare...that closed-mouth smile spreading from ear-to-ear, causing the small lines by his eyes to crinkle…the blush pink flooding his cheeks as Ian’s eyes grow fonder with each passing moment.

Mickey shrugs, “What can I say? Been caught up on you for ten years, Gallagher.”

I love them so much and I so wish that Mandy could come back for their wedding...but in another universe these three will forever be best friends and always together😭❤️

thanks for this week's prompt to @juliakayyy and @galladrabbles 💖

in my head when they look at each other they kinda get caught up in their thoughts so this is my take on that.

prompt: caught up

Ian asked Mandy how do you know if a guy likes you and she said something about a look, a special look. But he didn't know the signs or how that look was. But every time he gave up and looked away, it was there. Mickey had that look in his eyes when he looked at him. He never noticed, so he's not noticing it now. But Mickey is looking at him and it's soft and bright, and his eyes can't believe how beautiful Ian is. He's looking at him like nothing could ever be more important than him, like he’s the new exciting reason to be alive, like it's the first time he’s seeing beauty and he didn't know it existed until now. "Are you listening?" Ian asks interrupting his thoughts "Yeah" lies trying to focus again "Were you caught up in your thoughts?" smiles almost mockingly "about me?" "Shut the fuck up" he represses a smile

galladrabbles “caught up”

hi, here’s a horny @galladrabbles les today bc i’m feeling cray (i don’t write smut so be gentle heheh) thanks to the lovely @juliakayyy for this week’s prompt, “caught up” which i have too many ideas for!

— — — — — — — — —

“Finally got you to myself,” Ian shoves Mickey onto the bed with an undeniable hunger.

Mickey surrenders, collapsing on the mattress, “Damn, Gallagher, skippin’ the niceties huh,” he smirks through shallow breaths as Ian starts on his neck.

“Haven’t seen you in days,” Ian whispers close, “Need to get caught up,” shoving his finger in Mickey’s mouth, letting it linger on his bottom lip before traveling down his torso, stopping at his waistband. His hand rests there, teasing, before yanking at it with a gentle passion.

“Oh yeah?” Mickey melts into the touch, head tilting back… hands gripping the sheets.

Galladrabbles

for this week’s @galladrabbles & @juliakayyy’s prompt, caught up, i offer (the end of) prison bfs 😔💔

After the kiss, Mickey looks away.

“Man, it feels like I can never catch up to you.”

Ian frowns. “What—”

“It feels like—it feels like I’m constantly chasing you. When we got together, you expected me to be your boyfriend and out. When I was, you didn’t want me anymore. You didn’t want to see me, you didn’t want to come with me. Now you’re fucking leaving and I…I’m alone again.” A cry is caught up in Mickey’s throat as he calms down from the burn in his chest.

Ian embraces Mickey tightly and lets the tears stain his uniform.

Galladrabbles: Caught Up

@juliakayyy @galladrabbles This week is caught up. I get caught up in my own head a lot, so that's the first thing I thought of.

Just with a touch of 🌶spice

-------------------------

Ian is about to press a second finger into Mickey's ass when Mickey lets out an annoyed sigh.

"I still can't believe that she -"

"Seriously?" Ian asks sharply, sitting back on his heels and pulling his finger free.

Mickey winces. "What?"

Ian grins at him, dragging his dry hand down Mickey's back and preening as he arches into the touch. "I've got my fingers inside you, and you're still thinkin' 'bout -"

"Shut up, no you don't, and she had the nerve-" Ian shoves three fingers into Mickey without warning; Mickey's words dissolve into a loud, moaned, "-fuuuuuuuuck."

"Focus on me."

Galladrabbles - Childhood Comfort

My @galladrabbles for this week's prompt "childhood comfort" by @mikhailoisbaby.

This is part 21 of my ongoing True Crime podcaster!Ian/true crime committer!Mickey series. You can read the series from the beginning: HERE.

|||||||||||||||||||||

He should say something. Anything. But words are dying on his tongue.

Ian squeezes his eyes shut. Thinks of heat, sand and blood. And Mickey.

Mickey, who’s sitting across from him. Not meeting his eyes. Barely even breathing.

Waiting…

Ian swallows hard. His body reacting before he can catch his own thoughts. Fingers reaching out, curling over Mickey’s wrist. Arm. Shoulder.

Mickey’s so tense. Stiff in his awkward embrace. 

Till a tremble runs through him. A quiet sniff. Ian tightens his hold. Pulls him closer. Rubs up and down his back.

Thank you. For telling me. Trusting me. For surviving.

He's being really unprofessional. Mickey might not even be gay. He might be hitting on a straight man through takeout cups.

Galladrabbles

went the stereotypical route for this week’s @galladrabbles, for @sickness-health-all-that-shit’s prompt: sworn enemy. but hey, it’s a trope for a reason

Ian has the point of his sword tilted centimeters beneath Mickey’s chin, yet all he can think about is the musky smell of his cologne.

When Mickey swallows a lump in his throat and smirks, Ian chances a glance down towards his lips.

Mickey raises an eyebrow. “Gallagher, eyes up here. Or should I ask the real questions…whatcha thinking ‘bout?”

Ian clenches his eyes shut and drops his sword like it burns him. It falls like spilled water.

“Kill me,” Mickey says, matter-of-factly.

“Fuck you. You’re supposed to be my sworn enemy and yet…I can’t see anything bad about you.”

Galladrabbles

have a pre-canon @galladrabbles for this week’s prompt, childhood comfort, given to us by @mikhailoisbaby

Ian’s scribble in his notebook stops when Mickey walks in, late, to their 3rd grade classroom.

His heart drops to his stomach when Mickey sits down in front of him. The scars and bruises around his nape are visible to anyone who looks hard enough, but especially Ian.

Mickey nods at the teacher’s warnings and reviews of the lesson. His backpack looks lighter than usual today. He doesn’t bring anything out of it either.

Ian sighs and taps Mickey’s shoulder with his pencil.

Mickey looks like he’s already about to pounce when he turns around.

“Want one?”

He quickly softens.

dreamland

Iggy nods towards his younger brother, “What’s wrong with him?”

Mandy shrugs. “Boy problems I think.”

“Hey, Mickey! You fightin’ with your lover?”

“No, assholes.” He pauses his pacing. “I wish we were... I can’t find him. It’s been days!”

Mandy shakes her head. “That isn’t possible. Humans have to sleep.”

“Yeah man, maybe you just aren’t—“

“I know how to find him, he hasn’t been here!”

Iggy scratches his nose. “I mean, I think they can sleep without dreaming.”

“Not for this long. Something is wrong.”

Mandy speaks quietly, “Maybe it’s time to leave, meet him in his world.”
