— mick thought highly of edmund, in a world where very few seemed to regard him to the same degree. there was a connection between them that was hard to deny; a close friendship that was hard to truly understand or decipher unless you were part of it. he adored edmund as a best friend and confidant, one of the few people truly close to mick’s own heart. to see him up and about, fully recovered from the incident after last seeing him barely clinging onto life -- it was a sight that he needed to see. although he never worded it out loud, it was obvious in his gaze. he was glad to see his friend again.
a loud babble made him turn his head, watching paige come over with felicity. the kid reached out to him and grabbed onto him, enough to prompt him to gently take one of her hands. “felicity, hey,” he uttered to licity gently, giving her some much-wanted attention as paige talked about relaying the message too, though mick would probably get to green first. he glanced at paige before looking over towards eddie.
“oh yeah?” ed glanced between the two of them curiously, silently prompting for either of them to elaborate. mick’s lips twitched briefly, though he otherwise didn’t budge. instead he quietly cleared his throat, gently shaking his head, a silent promise to talk about it later. he only realized then that a lot had changed for him in six months. ever since the realization hit him - that the carbines were gone, that there was no longer a target on his back - mick found that he had a new lease on life entirely. for the first time in a long time, he got to experience life without the ever-present worry and paranoia of something worse to come. he had the chance to just be, to live. neither of which would have been possible without ed.
eddie almost lost his life in order to give mickey everything. it would be nice to let the man in on everything that had happened since then; without him, this life of his could’ve been completely different. mick would’ve never had the chance to find happiness with green, or even with himself. instead he acknowledged ed’s request to find somewhere to sit.“sure,” he hummed, glancing around the street. he gestured down the street towards a nearby cafe, tables set up outside. “we can sit there.” strolling over, hands in his pockets, he hummed. they could catch up later, after eddie spoke about the reason he came here.
and, apparently, there was more to catch up on than he thought. brows raised subtly in subdued surprise. ex-wife. a new set of twins. it was his turn to look at the man with subtle curiosity as he said, “oh, yeah?” though it wasn’t evident what he was hinting at, he felt like it was still enough to get his point across. sliding into one of the seats at the table, he looked at ed for a moment longer before asking, “what brings you to the district, ed?”
