Sometimes I think about how Mickey & the Milkovich’s very first storyline is centered around them getting revenge on someone who they think hurt their little sister.

Mickey was just scouring the south side with a bat prepared to do ANYTHING for her without any question or need for proof, clearly so protective of her & his family. And the way no one’s even surprised by it shows that this isn’t the first time the Milkovich boys have gone after someone they think has fucked with Mandy.

They grew up in a house of horrors where all they had was each other, it almost seems like if they couldn’t protect each other from Terry, then at least they could do whatever they could to protect each other from everyone else.

And then that side of their dynamic which was set up as such a core element of their family was just forgotten about and never really explored again after, but I WISH we could’ve seen more of it.

Okay I need an Iggy and Ian friendship.

Like just imagine Iggy and Mickey reconnecting after Terry's death and one day Mickey comes home thinking there's a fight because his brother and husband are yelling and swearing in every direction.

But he turns the corner and there they are playing Mario cart.

And Mickey is just standing there dumbfounded watching these two idiots in front of him until Ian finally wins the game (causing a very swore-loser Iggy to grumble and throw some popcorn in his brother-in-law's direction) and both of them turn around at the sound of Mickey grunting. Ian jumps up and lovingly greets his husband while iggy calls out from the couch "Sup little bro!" and "Gayyyyyy!"

I think Ian would love when Mickey takes long showers.

The rest of the Gallaghers try to complain, and Ian would shut that shit down immediately. Mickey rarely does something so self-indulgent that isn't, y'know, a violent impulse. This is something that no one else gets to see, this isn't Mickey putting on a toughness show, this isn't anything but Mickey taking care of Mickey and Ian loves that for him. Wants him to have that for as long as he can.

Because here's the thing -- Ian remembers the filthy dirty boy he used to fuck in the Kash and Grab.

While Ian never judged Mickey for it (hell, who hasn't experienced a water shut off or heater shortage in Southside?) he knew that Mickey experienced it worst than most. Half the neighborhood called Mickey smelly for fuck's sake, it was well known that Mickey was not clean.

I also imagine Mickey had to fake-it-til-you-make-it in feeling okay with being that dirty. He stopped taking frequent showers or bothering with any hygiene products because he knew the Milkoviches only had so much hot water (or water in general). Terry got first dibs because if he didn't get what he wanted then his piss-poor mood would dictate how everyone's day's went.

Then, Mickey gave next priority to Mandy. Mandy's a girl, which when he was younger didn't really mean anything to him, until she came home wildly upset about being dirty, about how all the girls wouldn't stop pointing out how awful she smelled, how she got her period and the bloodstains were still in her clothes and she didn't have enough water to clean them out but she didn't have any more clean clothes, and fuck, Mickey realized girls were fucking mean when it came to shit like that, and Mickey never wanted her to deal with that ever again. After that, Mickey made sure Mandy had enough water to stay clean, to be orderly, because Mandy cared and Mandy deserved to feel good about herself.

If his brothers were home, they'd get it next, because they somehow always smelled worse than Mickey did. However, that was rarely a problem, and a lot of the time after Terry and Mandy they didn't really have much left in the tank anyway.

So Mickey learned to not care. Not care about being gross and disgusting and feeling itchy at times. To smell clothes and while it was sharp to his nose it was whatever. So something gave him a rash once, he can fucking live. Everyone seems to look at him like he's even more dangerous when he's filthy, so it comes with its own perks, right? Who cares if some nights he couldn't really sleep. He's a kid, and who fucking cares, he's probably not living that long anyway.

But as Mickey starts having more people care about him (and care more about himself in turn) things change in his head. Even when he comes back in season 7, he is nowhere near as covered in dirt as he was when he was young. And while some of this can be chalked up to not being a kid anymore, that's certainly not most of it. The self-loathing he had no longer manifests so outwardly, he's no longer living in a burn out and die young mindset, and he's got people who he gives a shit what they think about him. He wants to try to like himself the way other people (Ian) likes him. Which means being fucking clean.

So he starts to take long showers. And he realizes that, yeah, he likes the feel of having hot water on him, melting the day away. Likes having the assurance that he can have this without being covered in blood and needing to medically clean out the wound (if he'd even do it then). He likes... taking showers. Being clean. Having clean clothes. And Ian, of course, notices.

So, when Ian can hear Mickey taking a shower, and taking his fucking time and actually taking care of himself, Ian freaking loves it. Doesn't let anyone bother Mickey about the water, doesn't let anyone tell him what soaps to use or not use. It's all for his disposal.

And when Mickey's done, Ian will open the door and join Mickey in with the steamy bathroom. Before Mickey can utter a single word about it (most days he'll try to crack something self-deprecating, not quite broaching sorry but as close as he usually gets; on particularly vulnerable days he will try to genuinely apologize) Ian kisses him. Tells him he smells good. Tells him he looks good. Ian's a big fan of positive reinforcement. He's also a big fan of the smile on Mickey's face when he's feeling good about himself.

Ian of course wishes he could get Mickey to feel good about himself every day, but, it's a work in progress just like everything else. Mickey's got to unlearn a childhood built on the belief that he was barely worth garbage. That takes time. Ian gets it.

An easy place to start, though? Enjoying when his man takes his long hot showers.

I'm so happy to finally release this after working on it for literal months as a part of this years Shameless Big Bang. Have you ever wondered how the Milkovich kids grew up?

With amazing art by @mikcrymilkovich ❤️

Thanks to @ayletmagnus and @mickeysgaymom for proof reading my rambles ❤️

Summary:

The Milkovich family is a notorious and formidable presence on the Southside, their name casting fear upon their neighbors.  Although the family remains a mystery, the topic of rumors and suspicions.

Despite obvious signs of neglect and unexplained injuries, a silence surrounds the house, no one brave enough to intervene.  But what chilling truths lie behind closed doors?

I can totally see Mickey being a "talkative" baby who babbled while he sat on the floor and watched his brothers and Terry walk around the house. He tries to grab a knife sitting on the table (because the Milkovich is the opposite of baby-proof) and Iggy snatches it away. Now Mickey is stomping his little foot and yelling at him, though the only words he knows are "mine" and "fuck".

this is so accurate??

i don’t think that the milkoviches all took care of eachother in the way that the gallagher’s did but i definitely think that colin and iggy looked after mickey when he was little.

i wonder who taught him the word fuck? was it even taught to him? did he just hear it thrown around so frequently that he just said it? or did iggy sound it out to him to try and make him say it? i must know.

how is it possible that mickey is the most famous character of shameless and still nobody can really compreehend the milkovich family tree?

also i always read so many different things about mickeys mom, if shes dead or not if shes the same mother of his siblings or not in which age he was conceived things he told ian all that and i just dont know what is canon what is headcanon and i really want to

also i really like iggy. why there is no one dedicating a tumblr account to him? how is that possible? idk maybe is cause im also a anime fan and theres always the obsessed fans which dedicate their lifes and accounts and make arts and drawings and gifs and fanfics about that one character that is only in the show way in the background for like 0.52 sec and had 1 line but i really want a iggy fan account to explore.

like where is sandy obssesed fan accounts? im not really into sandy but i really want someone to be!
