Mickey woke up in the hospital and felt a wave of sickness come over him, he got up and ran to the bathroom an IV needle ripping out of his arm on the way which had him clutching his arm while kneeling over the toilet
All the images of the previous night made him sick
Ian had broken up with him two weeks previous and he felt nothing but empty, to him Ian made him realise what people meant by "the other half", he felt lost, unknown to himself, and nothing else but angry especially towards Ian
He knew Ian was sick and couldn't control what he was doing but after all he had done for him, he came out for him for fuck sake
All his emotions had taken control of him the other night and he wound up on the floor unconscious from multiple drugs later to be found by Iggy who called an ambulance and told them to put him in the psych ward once he was stable
So here he was in hospital sitting next to the toilet with toilet paper covering his bleeding arm from which a needle was ripped out
Soon enough a nurse came in and barged into the bathroom and took him back to bed, handed him his new clothes and explained that he would be moved to the floor upstairs to the psychiatric ward and held there for 2 weeks
He got dressed in the bathroom while the nurse waited outside, when he came back out the nurse walked him to the elevator
"Do you know how any of this works Mikhailo?"
"Um just call me Mickey and no"
"Basically you'll be taken to a room and that is where you will stay for 2 weeks, you will be given medication to take each day and that's basically it"
"What do the meds do?"
"One will improve your mood and the other is to help your body recover from the overdose"
"Um alright"
He knew the medication was probably a sedation because of his background of anger issue related incidents but couldn't be bothered to argue
The elevator opened and she led him to a room with 2 beds and pointed to the one closest to the window
"All the rooms are doubles hope that's alright with you"
"It's fine I guess"
"Great, your medication is on the side table, there are places outside the room where you can do activity's with other people staying here, that's where your roommate is at the moment"
"Alright"
She left the room and he sat on the bed and took the medication left next to him along with the plastic cup of water
He quickly took them and sat on his bed looking out the window, in 20 minutes he felt dizzy and tired and confirmed the medication did in fact contain sedation. He decided to just go to sleep as he was exhausted and dizzy

He woke up to a dark silent room immediately feeling uncomfortable, he got up to use the bathroom and had to sit back down before continuing to walk there, the door was shut with the light on and he knocked
"Taken"
He leaned against the wall until he heard the toilet flush and the door unlocked, and out walked a tall guy with red hair
He almost fell over again when he realised who it was, it felt unreal, Ian was here, he felt happy until memories came back and he felt anger only anger and betrayal
"Mickey?"
"Ian"
Mickey shoved past him and walked into the bathroom, he splashed his face with cold water and drank from the tap trying to understand what was going on
He thought Ian was at the Gallagher house which now left him concerned about why Ian was even here, that was until he decided to just shake it off and head back to bed
In his mind Ian never gave a shit about him so why should he bother anymore, all he had to do was try and get out of here soon
His head snapped around when he heard two sharp knocks on the door
"Taken"
He grumbled in response and the knocking continued
"Can people not piss in peace here?"
He said while opening the door to see Ian again, he knew it was him before he even opened the door
"What's going on and why are you even here Mick?"
"It ain't any of your business why I'm here is it now?"
He pushed pass Ian once again and walked to his room, the footsteps following him still were annoying as ever but he ignored them until he got to his room. The realisation hit him that Ian was his roommate as the bed was empty and Ian was still following him
"You're in here as well?"
Ian spoke in a somewhat happy tone
"No I just wanted to sleep in some random persons room"
Mickey said sarcastically, he heard a small laugh coming from Ian, and he rolled his eyes as much as he hated himself for admitting it he still missed Ian and in some way was happy he was here
"Looks like we're roommates then"
"How long before your out?"
"2 weeks, what about you?"
"Great, same"
Ian looked happy while Mickey was now pissed off again, not only was he stuck in here in general but now he was stuck with his ex who he was still in love with
He got in bed and went straight to sleep deciding to deal with it the next morning or never
