Maverick: How can I tell Ice my feelings for him? Goose: Simple. Just tell him, "you are beautiful". Maverick: Thanks Goose! Maverick (turns to Ice): I am beautiful. Goose: That's not what I... Ice (to Mav): Yes, you are. Goose: (quietly retreating）

[military-newsboys]

Mav: Like I said, we need more help. Ice: Maybe I should call my friends. Mav: Your what? Ice: My friends. Slider: Is he saying “friends”? Hollywood: I think he’s being sarcastic. Wolf: No, no, no. This is delirium. He’s cracked from being awake all night. Goose: Hey, Ice, all of your friends are in this room. Ice: I have other friends. You asked me to make new friends. I made new friends. It was a task. I complete tasks.

ice only wears sunglasses indoors to:

a) stare (respectfully, sir)

b) to sleep on the go

(After Rooster's first week at TOP GUN) Rooster(on the phone, sounding a little grouchy):...Hey, Dad. Goose(sighs):...What's his name? Rooster: What? Goose: The asshole in your class that seems to be making it his mission to piss you off - what's his name? Rooster: Hangman. Goose: Is he good-looking? Rooster: What?! Goose: Is he? Rooster: Uh...yeah, I guess. Goose: Is he blonde? Rooster:...How'd you know that? Goose(to Carole): - Honey, talk to Bradley. I need to scream into a pillow and then give Maverick a call.

Wanna show you a snippet from the first chapter of my Icemav Soulmate AU WIP (based on this Tumblr post of mine 😉)

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

He was alone, until he wasn't. 

There was someone else standing on the same grassland with him. A tall, well-proportioned, and beautiful figure, that one, but he couldn’t see it clearly. The distance could be close as one touch or far as one thousand years. 

He tried his best to rub at and narrow his eyes in a vain attempt to identify the person.

Who were they? Why did he feel like his entire being was doing some kind of tap dance with just one blurry glance at them?

The person started to walk away and his soul was suddenly torn into millions of fragments.

No! 

He followed immediately, trying to catch up. He ran through the grass and ran toward the other person desperately.

Don't leave me. Please don't leave me. 

Almost. He almost got there. Good, great, finally.

The next thing he noticed was the blonde hair glowing elegantly under the moonlight, so he reached out spontaneously to touch it.

It was… Soft. Like a piece of a cloud.

Huh. 

That was unexpected, given that it looked quite rough and hard. 

The mysterious one turned their head. He held his breath (although it was unnecessary - he didn't need to breathe here) and waited, and it was the exact moment when everything began to fade away. The Grasslands cracked and the night sky collapsed.

No! Damn it. Damn it!

Don't leave me! Don't leave…

Pete Maverick Mitchell awoke with a start. 

Delicate darkness hovered above him, caressing his soaking wet hair. Maverick realized that his right arm was still held straight up in the air like he was trying to grab something. Slowly, he put the arm down and exhaled heavily.

His eyes gradually got accustomed to the blackness. The plain wall stared back at him indifferently. 

Maverick always thought it's a shame that Navy carriers didn't have portholes. Yeah, yeah. Glass couldn't withstand the cruelty of a potential war, and some shit about structural integrity, blah, blah blah. He knew about all of that, OK?

It's just that if there was one, he would have been able to watch the peaceful ocean under a starlit sky in a moment like this. The moment when the sensation lingered on his skin even if memory of that dream sank in the quicksand of regained consciousness.

Mav turned around to lie on his stomach and rest his chin on crossed arms. 

So. 

That's interesting.

The odds that he would meet his soulmate at Top Gun were quite high, or so it seemed.

He ran his hand through his raven hair.

A pretty girl who came to the O' club to hunt for sailors and pilots? Or some Navy technicians, those hot nerds? Would there be lingering glances, stolen kisses, shared breaths, and passionate touches?

A pleased smirk lightened his face.

——He always had a thing for blondes.

Ice: Alright, that's it! We've tried persuasion, charm, whatever it is that Mav does...

You know what would be funny? Whether or not in this scenario Bradley and Mav would still be talking or not - imagine that Bradley still talks about his family, and that includes his dad, so Jake catches things about him from time to time and makes mental notes in case he ever meets him.

The problem is, he is not aware Bradley is talking about 3 different people. And Bradley talks about Mav using 'dad', and about Goose using 'dad/father' and about Ice using 'pops'. Sometimes he just uses 'my old man' for any of them and only he knows it.

So Jake is under the impression that dad, father, pops and his old man are one and the same person, which in turn makes Bradley's 'dad' into some kind of mythical being.

Because he's a naval aviator, but he was also a RIO?? He's an admiral, but he's a test pilot as well?? Or he was from Tenesssee but he was also from New York and from DC??? He had a father (Bradley's grandfather) who died in a car crush and who died in Vietnam, and who died of cancer? Also he has tons of medals but he's also a person non grata in the Navy? He drives motorcycles but hates motorcycles? He taught Bradley how to drive but also had his driving licence confiscated twice for bad driving?? He met Bradley's mom in a group home but he also met her through his best friend? He's gay but he's bi but also he's a straight ally who Bradley is pretty sure dated guys at some point (can that even be classified as a straight ally, Jake doubts it)?

Jake doesn't want to call out Bradley on the inconsistencies out of fear he'd stop talking about his family or feel pressured to tell him more than he's ready for, but Jake is also dying to meet that man just to confirm what is true

You know how during Ices funeral Maverick took his own wings off, hammering them into the top of Ices casket with his fist, holding back tears?

Then when he’s at the Hard deck saying goodbye to Penny he magically has his wings back.

Yeah no

Those were Ices wings he wore into the final battle.

Pete Mitchell was ready to stare death in the face, having just lost his wingman and refusing to lose Bradley too. Fully well expecting for this to be his LAST mission.

What better way to go out than with his wingman with him for one last flight….pinned to his chest, overtop his heart, exactly where he was supposed to be.

Exactly where he always had been. 💙

Mav, somewhere on the other side of the world: *gets texted a photo of ice creating an ocean with his tears* the hell?

Slider: your man is sad

Goose, who's used to dealing with Mav throwing a tantrum every time Ice is away: match made in fucking hell, i say

based on this post i saw lol
