21 Times I Fell In Love With "Gallavich" On Shameless

I am obsessed with Showtime's "Shameless." Along with basically everybody else right now.

I love every character in this show. However, there are two characters that have stolen my heart throughout the series, Ian Gallagher and Mickey Milkovich.

I have never been this emotionally invested in a fictional couple, ever.

They have one of the most touching, dynamic, and unique relationships on television. These two have endured so much individually, but together? They've experienced even more.

They are unlike any other couple on television. Not only are they trying to figure out how to survive their hectic lifestyle on the south side of Chicago, but they are dealing with their internal struggles about being homosexual among other things. Especially Mickey, because of his violent, closed-minded father.

Through it all, they grow so much as individuals and as a couple season to season. Their love story is so compelling and powerful. You cannot help but fall in love with them.

I don't know if it is the way Cameron Monaghan and Noel Fisher have played their roles beautifully or the way their characters constantly give each other sh*t, but they stole my heart scene by scene:


1. In the beginning, Mickey tried to hide his feelings for Ian but they were totally obvious:


2. The first time they went to the baseball field:

3. What happened when Ian went to check on Mickey after his dad caught them:

4. When Ian begged Mickey not to get married:

5. When Mickey finally showed his feelings when Ian told him he was going to the army:

6. After Ian and Mickey get back together, and they go to The White Swallow and Ian tries to kiss Mickey and he looks so uncomfortable:

7. But then they kiss in public for the first time:

8. When Mandy tells Mickey his wife is giving birth and Ian is all:

9. Anytime they give each other sh*t:

10. Seriously, it's my favorite:

11. When Ian gives Mickey an ultimatum at his son's christening:

12. Then they share this moment after Mickey comes out in front of everyone including his father:

13. I mean, come on:

14. When they played house:

15. Anytime they said they loved each other:

16. Then Mickey finds out Ian is bi-polar and tries everything to help him:

17. Their touching goodbye as he gets admitted to the hospital:

18. When they made up after fighting about Ian's medicine at the baseball field, even all beaten and bloody they are still too cute:


19. After season 5 everything is very up and down with these two, so let's just reminisce on their better moments like:


20. And this:


21. And this:



I am not saying it's healthy to beat each other up and live their lifestyle, but I will forever love this relationship.

They get each other, they know each other, they are there for each other, and most importantly, they love each other.

Ian and Mickey may not have a happily ever after when the series is over, but I will forever love this show for creating a love like theirs.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
