“Quit looking at me like that.”                                                                                                          “Like what?” “Like you’re never going to see me again.”

How do you tell him? There’s not enough words in the world to explain the vicious grip around your throat and the violent claws around your heart every time he steps out of the door. How do you say, I look at you like that because you just might not. You fell in love with an Icarus, not in spite of it but in light of it. Knowing that’s exactly who he was — that one day he just might fly too fast, too high, too close to the sun. Crash and burn into the glorious end he’s been chasing since before you two met and meet his untimely death.

How do you tell him? That you might never see him again and that’s why you look at him like that. Hoping to capture every moment that never was and never will be. Commit to memory details in sculpted marble that will erode under the acid rain of time. Because you’re just and only human and your memories are subject to the capricious malice of simple human design. Weak and malleable, your body and mind will be consumed by tide and time and his memory, with you, will fade.

But he looks at you like you’re the sun. And he is Icarus.  Like he wants to be consumed whole by your presence and your presence alone, burn the feathers of his wings into ash and melt the wax between them so it’ll drip into the ocean below. Plummeting into the unforgiving deep blue of the sea and later that same night, as the sun, you will set.

You’re a song of Ice and Fire. He’ll crash and burn and with him all light and warmth will be taken. You’re a cold hearted sun, your cold will burn through his skin and expose muscle, bones and soul.

When he walks out of the door, towards an unknown destiny, he takes your heart with him. A mission, an assignment, a place that’s lost in a map on the careless hands of a superior officer that doesn’t love him half as much as you do, takes your breath away along.

You’ll breathe again when he returns but until then, you don’t know how to tell him that this might be the last time you see each other.

Or at least until death brings you together once again.

(PROMPT BARREL)

Iceman doesn’t know how to say goodbye. Maverick doesn’t know either. (notes under the cut, have mercy)

Idk man, an Icemav piece that popped up in my head at that prompt and I wanted to exercise the 2nd person writing so... have this? jazz hands I just wanted to get this out of my system, please don’t look at me. Character studies, yadda yadda

"...we know the government doesn't give a fuck about us. We know the government doesn't give a flying fuck about the future of this country. I don't give a fuck about Biden's campaign! Nor do I give a fuck about Trump's campaign. Because they don't care about me! They don't care about babies. They don't care about women. They don't care about Black people or Native Americans. They don't give a fuck about Palestinian children. I do! I give a fuck about this country! I was born on this soil. I love this place. Because I love my friends, and I love the earth, and I want to protect it, and they don't. Because they want pocket change."

FULL TRANSCRIPT:

"

You have to forgive me, cause I'm getting a little angry, but I've seen a lot of rhetoric on this app, and on other social media, and on the news, that our generation is soft. That Gen X- Gen X, Boomers, and Silent Generation believe that Gen Z and millenials and this Gen Alpha are soft. And I will tell you what, I think that is the worst thing to assume.

I have witnessed hundreds of my peers' lives be stripped away from them; their futures, their hopes, their dreams, their prom nights, because of our government's inaction with gun control. I have witnessed millions of lives taken away and altered and changed and ruined because of our government's inaction with Covid.

You guys made us tough. We're tough. We're tougher than you think, and we're tougher than you like to admit. Because we know the government doesn't give a fuck about us. We know the government doesn't give a flying fuck about the future of this country.

I don't give a fuck about Biden's campaign! Nor do I give a fuck about Trump's campaign. Because they don't care about me! They don't care about babies. They don't care about women. They don't care about Black people or Native Americans. They don't give a fuck about Palestinian children. I do! I give a fuck about this country!

I was born on this soil. I love this place. Because I love my friends, and I love the earth, and I want to protect it, and they don't. Because they want pocket change.

Tough. You think you're tough? You're bootlickers! Subservient to the idea of "growth." As if we can grow anymore! Our planet is dying! Because you don't give a fuck. Because you're soft. And saving the planet might be a little tougher than you thought.

I'm ready for that work. You know what I'm not ready for? Another world war. Just because I'm not gonna go over and shoot another working class person that I probably have more in common with, than an owning class piece of shit like Elon Musk, I'm soft? Because I care enough to accomodate my differently-abled peers, I'm soft? Because I don't wanna joke about women getting abused, I'm soft? If I'm alone in a room with Jeff Jackson, I'm leaving with his teeth in a jar. I'll show you how soft I am.

And you wanna ban the only place that we found community? Yeah, nonono. This election year is crazy. Because at this point, like, I think the entire generation, my generation, knows that you guys are geriatric, and knows that the Constitution is as well. It's too old. We are one of the youngest countries and we have the oldest Constitution? Make that make sense to me.

It's time for change. It's time for a new way of life. And these rich, stupid fucks don't deserve to be in charge of it. That's it, I'm sorry, that's it. That's it, I'm done."

I feel so protective of Iceman. And it's such a weird feeling, but I DO. I want good things for him. I want him to beat the cancer and live. I want him to get the guy. I want him to forgive himself for never making his dad proud. I want him to hug his mom. I want her to tell him that she loves him. I want Ice to confess his undying love to Maverick in the pouring rain. I want Mav to cry into the kiss when he asks Ice to marry him. I want Slider to visit him in their old age. I want Slider to refer to Maverick as his brother-in-law because that's what Ice is to him: a brother. I want the flyboys to keep in touch with Ice too. I want Iceman and Maverick to host monthly poker nights so they all can catch up. I want Ice to tell Bradley he loves him and he's proud of him. I want Bradley to tell his Uncle Tom that he loves him and is proud of him, too. I want, I want, I want.

ooohhhhh I need something to do..... send me prompts for drabbles or aesthetic requests.... anything..... ;; 

[rainbowsuitcase]

so, if I'm understanding it correctly, the fandom looked at Maverick's tiny and angry everything and decided that "this guy has so many issues and needs to be wrapped in so many blankets"? glorious.

[kazanskyy]

iceman + his concern for maverick post-hop 31

[vannral]

"oh, no," the RIOs say in realization as the Sexual Tension™ makes an appearance for the first time.

[gaydaroreilly]

Mav bringing Ice home all like: so I don’t know how to tell you this but my family can’t know

Ice: well I wasn’t planning to advertise our homosexual relationship, I’m not an idiot

Mav: Oh! Nah, it’d be pretty hypocritical lol

Ice: WTF

Mav: I meant the whole—using a jet to shoot other jets down for navy… maybe just say you…make porn? I feel like they’d respect that more.

Ice: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU

Hangman has an ass tattoo. You can't tell me I'm wrong about this
