My personal headcanon as to why Ice wears sweatpants in the volleyball scene is that the night before, he hooked up with Mav and told him āno marks on the chest, weāre going to the beach tomorrow and I always take my shirt off.ā So Mav covered his thighs in hickeys.
And the next day Ice has to convince Slider to wear sweats

āSleep prints, you say?ā he says in nothing more than a whisper. Maverick barely catches the murmur, watching Icemanās lips move as he speaks. Icemanās hand slots against his face, holding Maverickās chin between his thumb and index, the rest of his fingers grazing his neck. Icemanās thumb rubs his cheek in slow, circling motions, and Maverick momentarily forgets how to breathe. Icemanās gaze is intense, and this whole ordeal should feel awkward, but Maverick canāt find it in himself to tear his eyes off Iceman. Iceman leans closer still, faces mere inches away from each other. If Maverick focuses on it hard enough, he can pretend that heās not breathing in the same air as Iceman. He can pretend that he isnāt taking in the smell of Icemanās cologne, or that he doesnāt feel the texture of Icemanās hands against his cheeks, rough from too many hours in the cockpit yet warm and pleasant against his skin. āI donāt see any.ā
Fic coming soon I promise (it's almost fully written fr)
Iceman and Maverick on one of their "friendship-affirming" vacations. Because you can't keep up the will-they-won't-they energy with your best friend for 30+ years without popping the what-are-we's once every few years.
Left pic was taken by Mav when they were lounging at a resort bar. It was one of those rare moments where Ice could simply enjoy the entertainment and their conversation. They barely drank, but Ice's body easily sank to the pillows on the sofa. All about Ice, down to his fingertips, right now seemed relaxed. Open. Inviting. Maverick could feel himself getting drawn in. Couldn't help watching Ice's lips as he took each drag of that cigarette. Maverick felt a tingle in his chest as he took in the sight; even The Iceman looked warm in the soft yellow light. Ice never looked more breathtaking like this.
They stumbled into bed together, later that night, still wrapped up in conversation. Sincere admissions were exchanged, also hopes and anxieties. If there is one thing that's certain in this world, let it be that they always have each other. They slept tangled in each other's limbs till late morning.
Maverick woke up feeling energized. He greeted Ice good morning with a few smacks on his butt and a dare to race to the beach. Then bolted right out of bed, cackling like a maniac.
Ice ran after Maverick, grumbling, but not before grabbing their camera. When he caught up with Maverick, the man was already waist-deep in sea water. Wet, translucent fabric was clinging to his muscular torso, which should convey an image of a hardened, trained body. But to Ice's awe, Maverick's skin looked soft and radiant in the morning sun. Mav yelled at him to join him, but Ice stood still, opting to admire the beautiful man from afar. Later, as Maverick plopped down on the sand next to him, Ice pretended to be more interested in the horizon in front of him. Not for long, though. He just needed a minute. To prepare himself mentally. Ice stole a glance sideways. Sweet sweet Maverick was looking up at him with a smile. Ice pressed the shutter, and his stomach did a flip. Maverick never looked more stunning like this.
Iceman: Bradley, did you eat all the donuts?
Bradley: No
Maverick: Baby Goose why are you lying to us? We can see the powder on your pants
Bradley: *Panicking* That's cocaine
RIP Val Kilmerš¢š
May you rest easy, thank you for all of your hard work, fly highššļø
Goose: *Holding a hairbrush like a microphone* And here you can see the endangered Pete Maverick Mitchell in his natural habitat
Maverick: *Falls down the stairs, spilling cereal everywhere*
Slider: Natural selection is coming for this specimen
*Goose and Mav eating Breakfast* Goose: More toast, Pete? Mav: *looking at his phone* Why won't you call me, Ice? Goose: More toast, Ice?

While Ice be looking at Mav's eyes THEN lips like he wants to devour them, with a big goofy smile and a hella clichƩ line
"FiGurEd OuT yEt ?? wHo ThE bEsT wAs"
Ice you're so close don't tell me you didn't do it on purpose
You mean to tell me that Maverick didnāt have a crush on ice man but thisā¦THIS is how he looks at him?
That big smile the soft eyes
Mav you have two options here:take ice to bed or loose him forever
Love love love thoseāšļøššļø
How do I stop obsessing over Maverick? (I don't have much practice drawing him so these look kinda wonky š)

Maverick
has the most hyper mystery mix dog you've ever seen. literally running circles around everyone all the time. mav takes him to the jet runway just so he can finally power himself out.
Iceman
got a german shepherd to look all official and respectable ... unfortunately his dog is the biggest couch potato known to man and would rather nap all day
Slider
has a super spoiled kitty cat that likes no one but him. definitely talks to her in a baby voice and refers to her as his daughter to everyone who asks. a million pictures on his phone of his favorite little diva (ice is his second). probably names her something worthy of a lady, like petunia, constance etc.
Goose
bradley. that's enough (carole probably has ducks or chickens)
Hollywood
none, he likes horses but doesn't really have the space for them
Wolfman
has a tiny yellow canary that follows him around everywhere and loves sitting on the brim of his cowboy hat. probably interrupts the other flyboys all the time by chirping loudly, making wolf laugh and be like "see, even Tweety is tired of your yapping"
Chipper
is allergic to most animal hair, so his parents got him a tortoise when he was a kid. she's still alive and probably will outlive all of them.
Sundown
has the most beautiful beagle lady, spoils her absolutely rotten - millions of toys, leashes, collars etc. and of course a huge soft dog bed right next to his
Merlin
doesn't have any pets but LOVES petsitting for the others
honorable mention: Cougar
hamster. no one makes him happier than this little guy. built him a huge enclosure his wife can only shake her head over ...
Bradley (13 years): Would you help me make a prank on Uncle Mav and Ice?
Slider: What the hell baby Goose??
Bradley: Sorry, my bad.
Bradley: *Whispering* Would you help me make a prank on Uncle Mav and Ice?
Slider: *Whispering* Of course dude, what do you need?
Tc uses his hands when talking and explaing and over found that pilots as a bunch are quite visually focused, so gimme a Mav that is in the middle of a explanation of a new maneuver to the daggers and its not getting through, so he just starts a bunch of wild flowy and vaguely harsh gestures, in complete silence with his hands and arms, flipping his palms and waving his arms over his head every so often. The he stops, hands at his sides and looks at them.
And in unison they all go ohhhhhhhhh and nod.
This is after USNA (Goose) but before TG
Goose: Mav, the cute girl is right there! What should I do?
Maverick: Just tell her "You have beautiful eyes"
*Minutes later*
Goose: *Talking to the cute girl* I have beautiful eyes, they're just like my mother's
Carole (Cute girl): Okay, so they can be our kid eyes too
Goose: *Blushing*
Mav: *In the distance* That work?
I will never forget the day I discovered āwingmenā was already used as a euphemism for gay lovers before the Top Gun fandom got ahold of it.
Oh, but hey, itās probably just a coincidence, itās not like thereās any proof the cast or filmmakers were aware of this, by all accounts, obscure queer historical aviation romance. Itās not like the top half of the cover art mirrors a famous scene from the fil⦠waitā¦
āYou can be my wingman anytimeā
āBullshit, you can be mineā indeed Tony Scott.
A man and a woman share romantic themed scenes and other wholesome moments.
Everyone: Omg they're an awesome couple! They belong together! They're beautiful and perfect! They're my OTP ššā¤ļøā¤ļø
Two men/two women sharing literally the same scenes or even more emotional/romantic themed scenes than the main canon straight couple has.
Everyone: They're just friends/rivals. They have a platonic relationship. Why do you ship them? Why can't two men/two women be just friends???? Why they have to be boyfriends/girlfriends????? ššš
Don't make excuses. Just say you're homophobic. And if you really aren't homophobic, if you don't like the ship for other reasons, not because they are two men/two women, just directly say "I don't like them because X" but don't use those arguments because if you do I'm just gonna assume you're queerphobic. I don't know, use the "I don't like the trope of their relaitonship" "I prefer another couple". But don't use the "they're just friends" because that argument is so overused.
i love a good fic where bradley takes the rest of the daggers to his house with mav and they find out that ice is mavs husband and then all the other flyboys are there and the daggers are all in shock and mad at bradley for not telling them

Before he can think more on it, before he can open his mouth to ask Carol what she would do if she woke up four decades younger-- a tiny voice calls out, clear and eager.
āUncāa Mav!ā
Peteās heart stops in his chest, his breath catching painfully in his throat. A small form appears at the end of the hallway, sleepy and stumbling, but instantly recognizable. A toddler in his pajamas, with sleepy eyes that snap wide awake when they land on Pete.
Bradley.
Without thinking, Peteās legs give out beneath him. He falls to his knees in an instant, his hands reaching out, and without hesitation, Bradley throws himself at him. The weight of the little boy in his arms is like a spark to his soul. The way Bradley clings to him, his small arms wrapping around Peteās neck, is so familiar it nearly knocks the breath out of him.
āOh, Baby Goose,ā Pete chokes out, his voice raw with emotion he hasnāt felt in a long time. āIāve missed you so much.ā
Bradleyās small body wiggles in his embrace, giggling.
Pete holds him so tightly, afraid that if he lets go, this moment will slip away, that this little boyāthe one whoās still innocent, still wholeāwill disappear.
This is a Bradley who he didnāt lose. A Bradley who hadnāt stopped talking to him at 18, who hadnāt shut him out as he grew older. A Bradley who didnāt grow up without him.
Pete kisses the top of his head, his tears wetting the little boyās messy hair, and he pulls him closer. Bradley doesnāt even notice the tears in his eyes, too busy wrapping his arms tighter around Peteās neck.
This was it. The one thing he never thought he could have again. The one thing that had slipped through his fingers so painfullyābut now, now itās here. And Pete canāt let it go.
āIām here, Baby Goose,ā Pete whispers, his voice shaking.
Damn it I'm going to write an entire fic on this, aren't I
