also don't @ me but Vere is sooooooooooo "gets attached too easily and falls/used to fall in love (romantic or otherwise) too easily so he keeps himself at a distance (preferably vertically. He's superior to u) so that he doesn't have a weakness or distraction from the control and freedom he craves" coded
even after so much years together what Ian can do that still makes Mickey blush?🙈
i think the surefire way to get mickey blushing is for ian to handle him with kid gloves. rubbing his back, holding his waist and the back of his neck, calling him baby and husband, kissing him softly without any pretense, talking to him like he truly cares about what he has to say, just overall being very mushy and cutesy. mickey still isnt used to the positive attention (especially as pda) so it always throws him off kilter and makes his cheeks and the tips of his ears turn bright red
rewatching "under pressure" and im still not over buck literally barking at eddie for the entirety of their first shift together until eddie sprays him with a spray bottle in the gym. then the next shift buck is just 😡😡😡 til they pull the grenade out of that guy's leg, and eddie calls him a good boy for it. then buck just decides to follow eddie around for the rest of his life.
