    Summary

    Tom had understood him like nobody else ever would. He had been there; he had dreamed of it over and over. He'd seen the limp, lifeless body Maverick tried desperately to cling to even as the medevacs pulled them apart. He'd stood there in the locker room, searching for something to say, even though there was nothing.

    Tom might have even cared about him, once.

     
    But Maverick knew better now.

    ~

    Twelve years after kicking him out, Ice calls Maverick back to Top Gun one last time.

    Summary

    Ice clenches his jaw like he’s so frustrated having to spell it out. “Mitchell. Stop it. I know. And it’s fine. It’s not the first workplace crush I’ve dealt with. But we both know this,” Ice gestures between them with a doubtful grimace. “It’s not healthy.”

    Wait. What?

    “Workplace…crush,” Maverick repeats, stuck on the words, mental gears turning in slow, rusty clicks as he plays back the conversation. Ice accused Maverick of being more interested in him than Amy. Maverick thought he meant as a rival, a sparring partner. But he meant romantically? That can’t be right.

    “Stop it,” Ice says with a roll of his eyes like he thinks Maverick is messing with him. “There’s no point denying it. You like me.”

    Maverick stares at him with his mouth agape, unable to formulate words. The struggling gears in his mind have ground to a halt.

    “It’s really obvious, man,” Ice continues, tone softening. “You’re like a kid with puppy love. You’re always trying to get under my skin, get my attention. It’s flattering, in a way. But I’ll pass."

    “You think I like you?”

    ***

    Five times Ice rejects Maverick (plus one time he doesn't).

    Summary

    Old married icemav are having some fun in the bedroom while Bradley is in the house, too.


    Ice continues reading but one of his arms now wraps around Mav’s waist and his hand slips into the backside of Mav’s briefs. Ice keeps his hand just resting there but Mav knows that it means that he doesn't want to sleep, either. After so many years, they understand each other silently, no words needed.
