Thy Will Be Done

“Bullshit.”

Mandy shook her head and stood firm against her brother’s knee-jerk denial. “It happened; he did it.”

“Bullshit that happened,” Mickey repeated, “I would have heard about it.”

“The way Alex says it, Ian disappeared for about a week when it happened, told you he had to study or whatever. He swore her to secrecy, but get a couple rails of coke in her and bitch starts confessing to shit she did as a toddler. She blabbed the whole thing last night before she crashed out, along with the best tuck techniques. She can’t maintain for shit.”

Mickey’s heated denial was slowly morphing into confusion. “Sal would never—”

“Would never what, get physical with Ian like that?” Mandy sneered, “Why, because Ian’s different and so special to him? Ian is special to you, Mickey, and how you feel about Ian has fuck all to do with the way anyone else treats him. Sal supposedly worships you and how many times has he tried to put you through a wall? Shit, he loves himself more than anything and look how he fucks himself up,” Mandy said before turning to head into Ian’s room though not without one last parting shot. “Ian isn’t safe from Sal, Mick; no one is.”

Atlas Shrugged

It was a high-wire act for everyone after Sal’s gaslighting. The man was deeply confused and suspicious of everyone and everything, including himself. His mind was apparently playing terrible tricks on him now—probably the effect of the drugs he couldn’t stop—and Sal didn’t know who or what he could trust. He was at his most vulnerable and everyone was a potential enemy; every move he made was now a possible misstep. He feared them now, but he needed Mickey and his brothers; he simply couldn’t function without them on almost any level. The dependence only served to make him even surlier and feel even more wretched.

Everyone tried to navigate the tension as best they could. Mickey and Ian had to quickly perfect their own balancing act. There could be no lapses while Sal was around. They couldn’t be too chummy, lest Sal put them further under the microscope, nor could they distance themselves from each other lest that too seemed suspicious to Sal. They just had to be normal—nice, platonic normal—and keep lending credence to the confused, crazy old man rhetoric.

Of course, all the circumspection and walking on eggshells only made Ian perversely want to buck the system. It was the worst struggle not to rail against the restrictions and eschew the continued dominance of a deranged man who was only deteriorating in every worst possible way. He wanted to be able to cook for Mickey in their kitchen, while Mickey watched him in that contented way he always did. He wanted to harass Mickey while the latter was working out on his pull-up bar. He wanted to be able to kiss the back of Mickey’s neck whenever the notion struck him. Ian didn’t just want the freedom of his old apartment back, or the freedom of Sal’s drug-fuelled absences. He wanted the freedom of Salvatore Boerio truly gone.

The Devil in the Details

By the time Mickey emerged the following morning, the gold chain was back in place much to Ian’s delight. Then again so was Mickey’s watch, which Ian had privately decided had become another symbol of Sal’s continued domination of Mickey’s life. Ian tried to shake the thought and focus on the positives instead, like how it had been a whole month since he’d last seen Mickey in a tight, black tank top. Ian beamed sunnily at him in greeting.

“Hey,” Mickey said softly and smiled back shyly when Ian hooked a finger in his belt and tugged him close.

“Hey,” Ian replied and they both ignored Mandy’s disgusted snort as she ate her breakfast.

“You’re heading to work already? I thought you had the afternoon shift,” Mickey asked.

“Yeah, it’s summer break, so I’ve picked up all the extra shifts I can,” Ian informed him. “In another couple months, Financial Aid’s going to come knocking for my share of the money, so I gotta save up. I need to get another job actually. You need any help down at any of your garages?”

Mickey was amused by the idea. “What would you even do?”

“I know a little bit about cars; not a lot, but a little bit. I could just hang posing all sweaty and greasy with my shirt off until one of you needs me to hand you a tool… or my dick. That’s totally a job you guys have, right? I saw that in a porno once.”

The Sisyphus Stone

Mandy knew that answering Mickey’s calls would be a bit of a minefield after Ian’s visit. Ian hadn’t said much to her about it—in fact, all the Milkoviches were pretty much on his shitlist for the time being—but it could be easily surmised that the visit a few days prior had not gone well. The last thing she wanted was to be stuck in the middle refereeing this mess.

“Hey,” she greeted her brother.

“Hey, what’s going on?” Mickey asked her.

She decided it was safer to simply answer his questions superficially and ignore all subtext. “Nothing much, just hanging out. I was at the Rub and Tug earlier and you wouldn’t believe what—”

“Who’s there?”

“Um, just me,” she lied despite the fact that Ian had just entered the kitchen to grab a bottle of water for his run.

“Is that Mickey?” Ian asked her point-blank, making her cringe. He just had to bust her. “Tell him the ‘stupid chin’ says he can go fuck himself,” he said before leaving Mandy to deal with the fallout.

99 Problems

Despite the forewarning, this arrest was the most aggravated Mickey had ever felt. By the time he’d been processed and dumped in an interview room, Mickey was basically clawing at his skin, absently rubbing at the inmate number written on his arm. It didn’t help that no one seemed to be in any particular hurry to deal with him. They left him to stew for a while in the empty room, and by the time the detectives finally made an appearance, Mickey had long reached the end of his patience.

“Fuck off!” he snarled the moment the detective pushed her head inside, “I ain’t saying shit without my lawyer.”

The detective rolled her eyes, but did not argue. She simply turned heel and exited the room. However, a few minutes later, the door opened once again. Mickey was not amused. “What are you, fucking deaf—” his invective stalled at the sight of Agent Fowler—folder in hand—and one of his sidekicks strolling into the room. Mickey clapped his mouth shut and stared stonily ahead at the blank wall. Agent Fowler was undeterred by the lack of a warm welcome.

“Mickleback, how’s it going?!”

… but you’re playing

Ian couldn’t believe he was here again—lying in the dark, staring unseeingly at the ceiling while the heavy weight of Sal’s arm, thrown carelessly across his chest, threatened to crush him. He slowly looked over at Sal, who lay fast asleep, defiantly snoring into the quiet of the room. Ian hadn’t even finished reeling from the shock of Sal’s return, only to see the man march confidently into the bedroom to turn in, as if the last few weeks hadn’t happened, as if time had stood still. Neither Ian nor Mickey had known how to play it, and while Mickey hovered anxiously in the passageway, Ian had hesitantly gone in when Sal called.

Mercifully, Sal hadn’t wanted sex, though Ian wouldn’t have put the outrageous request past the older man. All Sal had wanted for the moment was company—Ian’s preferably—and to be held while he recovered from the rattling experience of dope sickness and abandonment. Ian briefly considered resisting, but Sal was a wounded animal in his vulnerability, as liable to lash out as he was to crumble at any moment. The last thing Ian needed was for this mess to explode while he was still confused and tipsy and couldn’t think straight, so he found himself in that old place again, begrudgingly placating a lifelong addict as he shuddered through his latest comedown.

A/N:  Hey guys… After I posted the last chapter, I received a lot of asks about updates and scheduling and the like. It’s saying something that I didn’t get around to answering them, because I’m usually such an eager puppy about responding to questions and feedback. The truth of it is, I’m just sad and I realize it’s affecting some of my functioning a bit. I’m trying to process and get back to myself a little, but it’s proving to be difficult. As such, and as much as I want to, I can’t promise that updates will be regularly scheduled. I tried to get back on my time table after the last chapter and I just ran of out steam in the middle of it. I’ll keep working at it and I want so much to get this story out and completed and to keep sharing with you, and I will. I just need you to bear with me while I keep sorting myself out. Thanks for understanding.

This could be us...

Mickey Milkovich breezily clad in a Hawaiian shirt was a powerful image. So much so that when the vision assaulted Ian as he ran into Mickey making his way out of his room, Ian was physically taken aback. He staggered backwards and blinked while Mickey rolled his eyes and sucked on his inner cheek.

“Got something to say?” Mickey asked as he stopped to lean inside his doorway. He might as well get this over with.

“I do actually,” Ian said thoughtfully, “but would you be able to hear me over the loudness of that shirt?”

“Screw you, I look hot in this,” Mickey sniffed, “in fact, I wasn’t going to roll it out until we needed to spice things up a little, but I’ll figure something else out when the time comes.”

Ian grinned at his boyfriend. “No worries, you can still deploy the high-waisted grandpa pants. Those always get me going.”
