Yeah, GI Ginger, we get it. I'm not saying don't be ready for it. [ he's just going to have to make sure to position himself between ian's line of sight and billy's face. it's fine. ]
Keep it up, Gallagher, this American Sniper shit's getting me all hot. [ a wink and a kiss quickly pecked on his lips, and mickey's swooping back out the door to the driveway. ]
[ a pat to his cheek, and mickey parts from him to deal with the billy situation.
30 minutes later, without more hulk incidents or billy getting double tapped, mickey's shrugging his jacket off inside the house after they step back in, watching billy walk down the sidewalk and away. ]
I'll tell you one thing, possession ain't that kid's only issue. Jesus. [ a glance to ian, trying to gauge if he's still rattled. ] You okay?
[ antsy, mickey can deal with. it's not going off the deep end, it's not escalation, it's not raging or pissed off. he can soothe antsy, and mickey reaches out, hooking fingers around ian's wrist and tugging him in. ]
To do what, help me water the asshole lying on the ground? It's fine, he's on his way home to sit in time out and think about what he's done.
Yeah, shithead told me he was possessed and I was like 'fuck yeah, I always wanted to get skull punched straight through by the Hulk'. [ which is pretty obviously sarcasm, the typical kind that comes from mickey, which is rambled out fast and casual. the hand at ian's wrist tugs him in closer, the other going to the side of his boyfriend's neck while he meets his eyes, swapping out the sarcasm for sincerity. ]
I swear, if I knew I picked a fight with an actual monster I'd have brought you, okay?
[Ian believes him, of course he does, and he gives in a bit more. It's not that he's angry so much as scared. He hasn't been here long, but he's not willing to put anything up to chance. Not when there's everything to lose.]
You shouldn't be picking fights with anyone alone here, okay? It's too unpredictable, and I'm not losing you to some stupid, preventable bullshit.

I'll keep it nearby, okay? Fire scares the shit out of him. [ well, 'it', but mickey is far from the first person to care about grammar here. ]
