Ice throws his hands up in exasperation, turning to face the wall. “I don't know, Slider! I've been dropping the most obvious hints and at this point, I can't tell if he's messing with me or if he's really just that fucking stupid!”

Slider peers over at the pilot, cracking an apologetic smile. “He's neither. He's Maverick.”

───────

or, the one where maverick can't seem to pick up on the fact that ice is flirting with him, no matter how obvious he makes it

[dagger-one]

The headcanon that Ice is Russian can make his backstory even more interesting and sad.

The cold war didn't officially end until 1989 so Ice as a kid, during his teen years, and even during Top Gun he had to truly prove himself. People calling him a "commie" behind his back AND to his face.

Ice and Mav find common ground over rumors of being "traitors", they have their group of friends and support systems but after Goose's death both Ice and Mav grow exceedingly closer to each other, truly opening up about their feelings and how they feel judged by the world. Mav copes with being reckless and Ice copes with striving for perfection and success.

there is not enough fics where bradley faces consequences for disappearing and shutting down every communication for 15 years. yeah sure buddy, you're hurting, but if you actually thought about everything for more than few seconds, surely some things wouldn't add up.

i need bradley realise, that mav is not welcoming him with open arms and hot dinner and that admiral kazansky isn't even looking at him not because they're heartless assholes, but because of hurt that he caused them.

because he called them every name under the sun.

because he screamed, that they’re nobody.

because of unknown to him countless nights, when ice was falling apart in maverick's hands, wishing he made that fucking shot, almost twenty years ago.

because of countless times, when always positive captain mitchell was guessing, would it really be better if it was him?

because they are real people with feelings.

after mission, he finds maverick on the deck of penny's bar, looking at the ocean. daggers celebrating successful mission and captain tagged along, couldn't resist eleven pairs of puppy eyes, looking at him with hope and excitement.

bradley flinched when maverick started talking. his godfather's voice was monotonous, almost like he doesn't care.

"i hurt you, bradley, i know. i had my reasons, you don't need to understand them, but if i could go back in time, i would not change anything. i made my choice, so did you.

you choose to ignore everything i tried to tell you, you ignored when i begged you to come to hospital. every time i entered his room, he was hoping it would be you. i forgave you for calling me names, for hating me. but i would never forgive how you treated tom. he was innocent.

i am not telling to get over, i only asking you to be professional around bases, okey? we wouldn't be bothering you."

and before bradley could even react, maverick was already on bike, riding into the night void of san diego.

bradley left there standing, tears starting to form in his eyes. suddenly, he remembered seeing pete and tom on evening beach walk, few days ago. captain's hand was around admirals waist. once stoic to cold temperatures, iceman was wrapping his husband's jacket around himself. maverick's hair was all grey on his temple.

all at once reality crashed at him. they were almost 60 years old. he missed ice's promotions, mav's new projects. he wasn't there for them in hospital, he wasn't there to celebrate ice’s recovery.

and then bradley realised, he really lost last of his parents

That year, his first year in the Academy, Tom experiences his first Thanksgiving.

It might not be the first Thanksgiving he’s ever celebrated, but the first real Thanksgiving for sure.

Gone is the stiff formal attire, the stilted conversations, the frozen green beans and dry store-bought turkey, and the people who only know him as his father’s son. No, this Thanksgiving is everything the past seventeen were not: warm and cozy and friendly and familial and feeling like a big bear hug.

 or, the one where tom goes to the kerner's for thanksgiving break
