words: 2.6k+
summary: beau is the love of your life, he's all you could ask for. until tragedy strikes and he becomes the loss of your life
warnings: angst angst angst, hurt/no comfort, did i mention angst?, mentions of accidents/car crashes, crying, death, heavy angst, you have been warned, most likely will not be a part two to this, this was written very quickly so it's most likely not well written, very quick proofread, and inaccurate book errors because author has never read the books and got all of her information off the internet.
Beau was the love of your life. He was the best boyfriend you could have ever asked for. He lent you his clothes, let you put your cold feet underneath his legs, let you play with his hair while he was trying to sleep, the whole nine yards.
But the thing you loved most about Beau, is how much he loved you. And with him, he loved loud. Beau didn’t hide his feelings from other people, or from you. He showed you off in every situation you were in, publicly, or privately. The thing that got you the most was how he showed his love for you. Not how he would say it ten times a day, which he would, but how he showed his love.
He memorized your drink order at the local cafe, bought you something even though you only looked at it for not even two seconds, he looked for you first in every room, but most importantly to you, he cared for you. Beau cared for you so deeply that sometimes, you didn’t know what to do with all of it.
A message every day, asking how your class went that day, or a phone call at night to make sure that you fell asleep at a good enough time so you could wake up at a decent time the next morning. Beau never complained when you asked him to do something, you never heard from friends or other girls that he was talking bad about you. Because Beau never had anything bad to say about you. Everything that left his mouth that even remotely surrounded you, was a positive thing. Not once did anything remotely vicious come out of his mouth the whole entirety of your three year relationship.
Beau was everything you asked for and more.
When his grandmother’s birthday came up, you were invited to go with. Initially, you were excited to go, to meet some of his extended family, and spend some time with him in a domestic state. Both of you were cramped with classes and responsibilities, so it was perfect to get away from campus and be together. Surrounded by the warmth only each other could provide.
But, you had an event come up that you couldn’t miss. Something with your department, and it was a huge opportunity for you. You were a fashion merchandising major, and some of the biggest fashion designers in the area were going to be at this event. When you brought it up to Beau, there was nothing but understanding written on his face. He cupped your face with his hands and pressed a kiss to your forehead. “Do not throw this away. It’s so big for you.” He assured you as he was about to leave. He brought you into his chest, smoothing your hair down your back. You stood next to his dad’s car, arms wrapped around his waist as you hugged him.
“I’m gonna miss you.” His jacket muffles the words, but he hears them anyway. His grip around you tightens.
“I’ll miss you too.” He says as he rubs your back. “But I’ll be back before you know it.” You separate and he looks down at you. “I love you so much, baby.” A smile grows on your face as you look up at him.
“I love you so much, Beau.” He smiles as well, leaning down and capturing your lips in his.
You watched as he and his dad pulled out of the parking lot, waiting until you couldn’t see the car anymore to walk back into your dorm.
You didn’t know at that time, but that was the last time you would see the love of your life.
–
The event went extremely well, you had so many networking opportunities, and you even had the chance to talk to a designer about a job after graduation. She told you that once you graduate, to get in contact with her and where you’re going to start. The business card is still sitting in your purse as you sit on the bed a day later, trying to get into contact with Beau. The last text you got from him was yesterday, asking how the event went.
You replied telling him how it went so well, and you couldn’t wait to tell him all about it in person, but he hasn’t responded since. That wasn’t like him. As the call goes to voicemail for the third time, you get a call from his dad. You let out a breath of relief, answering quickly. “Hi, Mr. Maxwell! I’m so glad you called, I’ve been trying to get-”
“Honey, are you sitting down?” the tone of his voice causes your heart to drop.
“Y-yeah. Yeah. I am. Is everything okay?”
“Sweetheart, I need you to take a deep breath for me before I tell you this.” You do as told, mind racing with all of the horrible possibilities that could have happened. “Beau and I were in an accident late last night. On the way home from his grandma’s birthday.” You feel your heart stop beating, you feel your breath sharpening. Mr. Maxwell’s voice cracks through the phone. “Honey, I’m so sorry, he died on impact.” The sob that leaves your mouth wrecks the older man on the phone with you. He continues to explain the situation to you, but you don’t hear any of it, all you can hear is the blood rushing through your ears, and screaming. But you’re not sure where the screaming is coming from.
It’s not until your roommate, Poppy, comes running into the room you realize it’s coming from you. At this point, you’ve found your way to the floor, leaning against your bed. Your vision is blurry as Poppy takes the phone from you, talking to Mr. Maxwell as you heave and sob and scream on the floor, laying down and pulling your knees to your chest as you let out all the ugly sounds. “Yes, yes, yeah, I’ll take care of her.” You barely hear Poppy talk to him through the ringing in your ears, and you don’t even register knocking on the door.
Poppy tells you to take deep breaths before she leaves the room, walking into the main area and going to the front door. There, stands Dean DiLaurentis, freshly off his own shock and his face immediately crumples when he hears your screams. Poppy tells him to make his way into your room as she’s still on the phone with Beau’s dad.
Dean flies into your room, heart breaking for a second time that night as he catches sight of you crumpled on the floor, unintelligent babbles and cries coming from your mouth. Without hesitation, he sits next to you and forces you to sit up, before pulling you into his chest. This way, your cries and screams are muffled by his sweater, but the pain is still there. They’re quieter, but they’re still screams.
You feel it even deeper when you realize that the only person you wanted to talk to about Beau Maxwell’s death, was Beau Maxwell.
–
The next few days passed in a blur. Condolences sent through text messages and different social medias, emails sent to professors saying you couldn’t make it to classes, emails sent back telling you that you can take as much time as you need and not to worry too much about the assignments.
Eventually, Beau’s family arrived at Briar, going to his own off campus house shared with teammates to retrieve his things. When they asked you to come with, you forced yourself to come along, holding in your tears enough to sit in the back of the car with Joanna as you all rode to the house. The car ride was silent, no radio, no chatter, nothing. It was horrible. It was exactly what Beau wouldn’t have wanted.
When you all got there, his roommates were waiting on the porch outside. One of the guys, Mason, was the first to bring you into a bear hug. It was nice. It was needed. It took you ten minutes to stop crying in his arms. Each roommate took their turns hugging you and assuring you that if you needed anything, they were only one phone call away. You nodded, but didn’t really hear what they were saying as you walked up the steps to his room.
Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell was already putting things in boxes by the time you got there, and practically everything was already done. They looked at you and handed you an empty box. “Take whatever you want.” Mr. Maxwell told you and that leads you here, alone in his room and so far, the box is halfway full. Trinkets that you got him for his birthdays or Christmas, multiple sweatshirts that you decided were yours now, a pair of sweatpants, and one of his hats. You reach for a picture frame on the nightstand, smiling at the picture of the two of you from the previous summer.
One of your best hometown friends got married and you were a bridesmaid. When the bouquet toss happened, you were the one that caught it. Beau immediately ran to you and wrapped his arms around you, pulling you up against his chest. And that’s the pose in the picture, him holding you up in the air, while you’re holding onto his shoulder with one hand and the bouquet you caught in the other. You’re both laughing your heads off, drunk off of each other.
A tear slips from your eye and lands on the glass, causing you to wipe it off and smile before putting the frame in the box. Your eyes lead you to the nightstand, and while you’re a little scared by what you might find in there, when you open it, it’s seemingly fine. Nothing too scary inside awaits you. You almost close it back up until you notice something in the back corner. Curiosity causes you to grab it, and you gasp when you feel your fingers touch velvet. Quickly pulling it out, the bright overhead light highlights the small box in your hands. Your breath hitches, and you hope that it’s not what you think it is.
Slowly, you open the box and when you see what’s inside, you feel your stomach drop and nausea hits you like a wave. Sobs leave your mouth as you lift your hand to cover it, but you’re too late, you hear footsteps rushing to the room. Your ears tune whoever it is out as you stare at the ring, it’s glinting in the light mocking you. It’s perfect. It’s everything you could’ve wanted and more. But it means nothing to you if it’s not Beau the one giving it to you.
Dean stands in the doorway, watching as you gawk at the ring. He was there when Beau bought it. Said man told him that it was the most perfect for the most perfect girl. At the time, Dean thought Beau was being delusional. You two have only been together for a year at that point, but Beau was for certain that you were it for him.
Before you can do anything else, Dean walks up and puts a hand on your shoulder. You turn slightly, looking up at him before closing the box, dropping it on the bed, and hiding yourself into his shoulder. Dean holds you as you cry into him, for what feels like the millionth time this week.
Hearing your sobs doesn’t get any easier, and Dean feels like a part of him had been ripped out when Beau died. But seeing the way you’ve been taking it, has made him feel ten times worse.
–
Before you knew it, a month had passed. You attended the service, stood in the line where people wished their condolences, gave Beau one last kiss on the forehead, stared at his face in the casket for what felt like forever, and then watched as they lowered into the ground later on that day.
You thought you could move on. You thought that everything would be alright. You were wrong.
You reached out to that fashion designer, and secured yourself a job for after graduation. You were to start right away. Speaking of graduation, it lingered in the air. The thought of doing it without Beau after three years of looking forward to it.
You think back to finding the ring in his room a month ago. Images of him proposing flash through your head. Before you know it, you’re thinking about what dress you would’ve worn to the wedding, what team he would’ve been drafted to, what type of house you would’ve lived in, what your kids would have looked like, and finally, images of you and Beau growing old together. It broke your heart, knowing that you would never get that with him. That he never got that at all. It all broke your heart.
You refused to go even near the football stadium. There was a memorial for him there, flowers, candles, balloons, pictures, the whole thing was set up. You heard there were some pictures of the two of you there, but it didn’t budge you to go. You kept to yourself and your inner circle, rarely making new friends like you usually would. Without Beau, it all felt meaningless.
One day, you got a call from Joanna, asking if you wanted to go get coffee. You agreed, and that’s where you find yourself now, a small coffee shop just off campus, sitting in a booth with the sister of your dead boyfriend, and neither of you know what to say.
It takes a full twenty minutes before either of you speak up. Joanna is the one to break the silence. “He loved you so much.” The words are whispered, and you feel yourself breaking even though it’s barely anything. “When he would come home for breaks, it’s all he would talk about. How much he loved you, how you changed him, how he knew you were it. How he knew you were gonna marry him.” Tears leave your eyes, and you're surprised at it, because you thought that you ran out of tears a long time ago. “You were it for him, y/n.” You look at her and she has her own tears in her eyes. “I wish I could say something that could take all of your heartbreak away, but I do want to say one thing;” She takes a deep breath before saying, “Beau wouldn’t want you to live the rest of your life with his shadow hanging over you. He would want you to live your life to the fullest. Whether that means moving across the country, travelling, or even falling in love again.” You scrunch your nose in disgust at the thought. You couldn’t imagine falling in love with anyone ever again. “Or not.” A small laugh falls from Joanna and you let yourself succumb to it as well. “Look, all I’m saying is that,” She pauses. “Beau wouldn’t want you to grieve him for the rest of your life. I know it’s only been a month, but I’m not sure when we’re gonna see each other again, so I wanted to get that out while I still could.” Before you could say anything, Joanna reached out and put her hand on top of yours. “The two of you may have never gotten married, but you have always been, and always will be, the little sister I’ve always wanted.” The words cause more tears to fall and Joanna is suddenly walking around the booth and settling next to you, wrapping her arms around you in a hug and letting you cry into her shoulder.
Beau Maxwell was the love of your life.
But he was also the loss of your life.
A loss that will always leave an imprint on your heart and soul.
thank you @strangergraphics for the borders, i love them!!
Hey guys! I am finally back and think I’m ready to get back into the groove of things and writing more fics! Speaking of, my master list has been updated and is pinned at the top of my profile. Before I took this long break, I had a few pending requested fics but it has been too long and I’ve forgotten what they even were! I want a fresh start so If you had a pending request and you remember what it was please reach out and let me know! As for now, as I recently watched Stranger Things 5 I really want to write a Mike Wheeler x Reader. I was thinking of writing something like Reader is like a sister to Holly Wheeler and she enjoys taking her out for ice cream, to the mall, to the theatre, etc! Reader does this obviously because she loves Holly but also because she has a secret huge crush on Mike and this brings them closer. On the night Holly goes missing, reader drops her off at the Wheeler’s house after a night out at the movies, she drops her off before the devastating events take place and since Reader left Holly, she can’t help but blame herself for Holly being taken, this causes a ton of comfort from Mike and leads to him confessing about feeling the same way. Not really sure where all of this came from but it was just an idea and I wanna know what you guys think about it! Should I write it?!
hey guys, i know that this isn't the long awaited fics that I said were going to be posted soon. But I've decided that I am going to be taking a break from writing for a bit. I'm not sure how long but I just know I will definitely be back soon and as soon as I am, the first fics coming out are the second part to my fanboy x reader graduation fic, and off the top of my head I forgot the others but they were anon requests, you guys know who you are! I promise to get back to you guys! I've just been extremely tired and busy and writing just isn't something that I am motivated for right now, I hope you guys understand. Love you all and I'll be back soon!!

You and the squad celebrated the end of Boot camp at the hard deck tonight. Graduation was tomorrow, everybody was excited. You? Not so much.
The diner was almost empty, the neon sign outside casting a soft glow on the vinyl booths. You stirred your coffee, the clinking of the spoon the only sound breaking the silence between you and Fanboy. He'd been so animated just moments ago, recounting a particularly daring flight maneuver he'd witnessed, but now he sat quietly, sensing the shift in your mood. "You okay?" he asked, his brow furrowed with concern.
You sighed, "Yeah it's just, I'm nervous for tomorrow." You said as you look at him, tears swelling in your eyes. He gives you an sympathetic look and gives you a soft smile.
"Oh honey. There's no reason for you to be nervous! We will all be there for each other on our big day." He says putting his arm around you. The tears fall from your eyes, surprising him. "I know it's just nobody is showing up for me. I joined this to prove to my family that I'm better than they thought but-" You sob as he pulls you into his arms. "But they won't even be there to see me.
"You should've heard my mom's voice when she got the call that were graduating. She didn't even care." You continue sobbing in his arms. "Hey, hey baby look at me" fanboy says bringing your chin up with his finger.
He wipes the tears from your face and kisses your cheek. "I will always be there for you. I know it's not the same as having your family there but just know you are not alone." He says hugging you tight. A knot formed in your stomach as you still thought about graduation tomorrow. you had no idea who, if anyone, would be there to tap on your shoulders, the signal of family support.
Fanboy's still holding you in his warm and tight embrace. "We're your family now. And we've got your back, always." He squeezed you. his eyes filled with a sincerity that melted away the last of your problems. Maybe, just maybe, you had found the family you'd always longed for. The thought of tomorrow still lingered, but for now, you were grateful for the support that was holding you.
Hope you guys enjoyed pt.1! Again so sorry for the delay and like to be tagged in pt 2 and Iceman x reader.

author's note: hey guys! here is that Bob Floyd smut. I was definitely excited to write this one I hope you guys enjoy it!
no word count, not thoroughly proofread. sorry about any typos!
You were out with Bob and some friends at a bar. The scent of fruity alcoholic drinks and whiskey fill the air and laughter bounces off the walls. You feel a sense of comfort being with Bob, but that comfort is soon disrupted when Jake, one of Bob's friends, slides into the seat next to you.
"Hey there, I didn’t know you were this fun," Jake says, flashing a grin and nodding towards your drink. This interaction makes you heart race but not entirely in a good way. He leans in closer, his shoulder brushing against yours as he continues to flirt.
"Bob’s lucky to have you around. Such a pretty lady." He says tucking your hair behind your ear. You don't say anything and just push his hand away, not too harsh but not welcoming either.
You glance at Bob, who is sitting across from you, his expression shifts from relaxed to tense. You could see the way his fingers tighten around his cup, knuckles turning white.
The banter that Jake is trying to create between the two of you seems harmless at first. But as he leans in even closer, you finally see the jealousy in Bob's eyes get to him.
"Hey, man, back off a bit," Bob says, his voice low but firm, cutting through the laughter. Tension fills the air as Jake turns his head to look at Bob, surprised by Bob’s sudden protectiveness.
You feel a mix of excitement and thrill at Bob’s reaction. Jake shrugs it off, but you can sense the challenge in Bob’s eyes. The lighthearted atmosphere shifts, and you can see the possessiveness that creeps into Bob’s demeanor. He leans forward, his gaze locked onto yours, his jaw clenched, silently communicating that you were his.
Jake grabs a strand of your hair and runs his fingers through it. Before you can react, Bob suddenly gets up. "Alright guys, me and y/n are out of here. We gotta head home." Bob says looking straight at Jake.
You're quick to get out of your chair and follow Bob out of the door. He opens the car door for you and shuts it once you're in. You can still tell he's letting the jealousy get to him.
The car ride is silent, you don't feel much between you and Bob except for his large hand that's firmly placed on your upper thigh. Snaking a little higher every once in a while, discreetly but you still notice it.
You can already feel the pooling between your thighs. You want Bob so bad right now. Your eyes stuck on him, his jaw clenched and his eyes fixated on the road.
"You're staring." He says. You don't respond, you just clear your throat and look out the window.
You feel butterflies in your stomach as Bob pulls into the driveway, you're not sure what direction tonight is gonna go in.
Bob rushes out of the car to open your door. He walks towards the front door to unlock it and lets you in first.
As soon as he shuts the door and locks it, his lips are suddenly on yours. He kisses you aggressively, hungry for more he grabs your face to deepen the kiss.
Your wrap you arms around his neck, his hands go down to your thighs and he taps your thigh indicating for you to jump. You do and he picks you up as you wrap your legs around him.
He walks towards your guys' bedroom, not breaking the kiss. Closing the door behind him when you guys are in the room, he sets you on the edge of the bed.
You turn around for him to unzip your dress. He kisses down your back as he reveals more and more of your skin. You turn back around and start unbuttoning his shirt. Kissing down his neck as you do so.
He helps you unbutton the rest of his shirt as you kneel down. You unbuckle his belt and bring down his pants. You press your palm over his clothed hard on.
You feel him twitch as he lets out a breathy moan. You pull down his boxers and his hard cock springs out. You begin stroking him, you bring the tip to your mouth and give it a small lick. Licking up the precum off of his tip.
You bring him fully into your mouth, gagging over his cock as you feel his tip hit the back of your throat. He pulls your hair back out of your face as he moans. "Oh y/n just like that baby." He moans as you start moving your head.
Your hands are resting on his muscular thighs as you look up at him with your teary eyes. He's still fully in your mouth and you start sucking harder just to earn more moans from his mouth. You love hearing him make all sorts of sounds.
You feel like twitch in your mouth, indicating he's about to cum. He grabs your face and pulls away. "I wanna cum inside you." He says as you get back up to your feet. He sets you on the bed, laying you down.
He gets on top of you and sucks on your neck. His cock right by your entrance, wanting more you pull his face up for him to look straight into your eyes. "I want you inside of me." You say, kissing him. "Someone's a bit desperate huh?" He chuckles lining himself up between your thighs.
"I want to hear you baby." He says looking up at you. "Oh God please just fuck me Bob." You say grabbing onto him. Feeling a mix of pain and pleasure you moan as he slides in, stretching you out so good. He sits there for awhile, letting you adjust to his size. "Move Bob please." You moan.
He slides out and thrusts back into you, earning a load moan from you. He begins thrusting hard into you, snapping his hips hard into yours. That's definitely gonna be a bruise tomorrow. "Fuckkk oh! Yes Bob!" You moan loudly, grabbing your boobs.
"Fuck y/n, you're so tight. Only I can fuck you this hard and this good right baby?" He moans as he fucks into you harder.
"Oh! Yes baby only you can make me feel this good. I'm gonna cum oh don't stop!" You scream.
" I wish Jake could see your boobs bouncing up and down as I'm fucking the shit out of you, it'd would wipe that smug smirk off of that bastard's face when he tries flirting with you. Oh fuck babe I'm so close. You feel so good." He says snapping his hips faster. You're a moaning mess under him as he nips and sucks at your boob while his hand plays with the other one.
Your hands in his hair, you can feel yourself coming undone. "Bob oh! I'm cumming!" You moan, bringing him closer. "Fuck! Oh baby me too. Im right there with you." He lets out a groan as his thrust become messy.
You feel him cum inside of you. (consensually!!) He continues thrusting and he fucks his dripping cum back into your pussy. You both let out a breathy moan as he lays on top of you.
He looks up at you. "Can you give me another one honey?" He asks. You nod your head as he pulls out. You moan at the sudden feeling of emptiness and he helps you up to flip you over. "Relax baby, I'm gonna make you feel real good." He says laying you on your stomach.
You lay face down on a pillow, bringing your hips up giving him a clear entrance. He slides his fingers between your folds, feeling the mix of yours and his cum. He aligns himself up to your entrance and slides back in. You moan at the familiar warm feeling.
He grabs your hips and begins thrusting hard once again. His hips are snapping hard into your ass, hitting your g-spot earning moans from you. "Oh Bob! Harder!" You moan, he does as you say and his hand comes down to slap your ass.
Your eyes are rolling to the back of your head as he fucks you so hard. The sound of skin slapping fills the room.
"Shit, ohh oh my god. No one else can fuck you like I can baby. Oh fuck let me hear you. I wanna hear how good I make you feel." He moans as he pounds into you. You let your louder moans as he fucks you into the mattress.
"Bob. Ugh oh my god. I'm close." You moan as your eyebrows knot together and your eyes shut tightly. "Oh yeah? Mm, oh cum for me y/n. Let go for me baby." He says, still pounding into you but sloppier, slower thrusts.
"Mmm I'm gonna cum y/n, cum with me." He moans as you feel his cum drip inside of you. You cum all over his cock as your body lays flat on the bed with him on top you. He kisses your neck from the back as you both catch your breaths.
"Jake could never make you feel that good honey." Bob whispers into your ear, pushing further into you one last time. "Mm never baby. Only you." You moan at the feeling of him still inside of you. He pulls out slowly and his cock falls onto your ass.
He lays next to you and opens his arms. You crawl into his arms and let your tired body relax. "Let's shower." You slur as your eyelids fall heavily. "Yeah baby." Bob chuckles as he moves your hair out of your face as you fall asleep.
hope you guys enjoyed!! a longer fic with a plot and fanboy x reader angst and fluff coming next. honestly im not sure if that's going to be platonic of romantic 😭😭 anyways I'm not sure exactly when that will come, but soon.

No word count. No warnings. Slightly proofread sorry about any typos.
In the halls of Top Gun, the atmosphere was electric with anticipation. The sound of jet engines roared in the background, a constant reminder of the high stakes that came with being the best of the best. You, a trans man and a highly skilled pilot, had just graduated from the training program, and now you were ready to prove your worth alongside the elite.
Slider, known for his charm and unmatched flying skills, caught your eye during a briefing. His playful banter and easy confidence drew you in, and you couldn't help but admire the way he maneuvered through the difficulties of the naval aviation world. As the days went by, you found yourselves working together more often, your chemistry undeniable as you shared special moments on missions and shared late-night talks about dreams and fears.
One evening, after an extremely intense training session, you both found yourselves alone on the rooftop of the barracks, the stars twinkling above like distant aircraft. Slider turned to you, a serious look in his eyes. "You know, I’ve always believed that it’s not just about flying the jets, but about who you are when you're not in the cockpit." His words hung in the air, and in that moment, you realized that he saw you for more than just your skills as a pilot; he saw you for who you truly were. And that's what you were most afraid of, people seeing you for who you truly are. With a smile, you leaned closer.
Slider shifted slightly closer, his gaze locked onto yours, and you could see the flicker of curiosity and admiration in his eyes. The stars above seemed to mirror the excitement bubbling inside you.
"You know," he started, breaking the comfortable silence, "I've seen a lot of pilots come and go, but there's something different about you. You fly with a kind of passion that’s hard to find." His voice was low, as if he wanted to keep this moment just between the two of you. You felt your cheeks flush at his compliment, a mix of pride and vulnerability washing over you.
You took a deep breath, feeling the weight of his words. "It’s taken a lot to get here," you admitted, your voice steady despite the fluttering in your chest. "But I wouldn’t trade this for anything. Flying is where I feel most like myself." Slider nodded, understanding the journey you had taken to embrace your identity.
As you continued to talk, sharing stories of your past and dreams for the future, the connection between you deepened. Slider reached out, brushing his hand against yours, and you felt a spark that ignited something new and exciting. "I want to be there for you, not just as a wingman, but as something more," he said sincerely.
In that moment, you knew you had found not just a partner in the air, but someone who truly saw you for who you were, and now you weren't scared.
"You know, one of the things I admire most about you is your determination and courage. You've chased your dreams and that's what got you here." He says, smiling at you and grabbing your hand.
You smile up at him as he's towering over you. He opens his arms and you fall into his touch, letting him embrace you in a warm hug. "Let's try this. Figure out what comes next with the two of us but together now, yeah?" He says leaning his head on yours. "Of course." You say leaning further into him.

Author's note: Hey guys! I know this is such a random story. I'm gonna be honest, originally this was gonna be my fluff fanfic but I realized a shorter one would fit better. But I still liked this one so much that I decided to make it a whole different story. I hope you enjoy it! It's a bit of a longer one.
No warnings! Just cussing, kissing and super cute maverick x reader at the end. and y/n is used! No word count, I did proofread it but I would not be surprised about any types. My apologies in advance!Not 100% accurate to the movie (Phoenix is a back seater, young maverick but in the sense of the second movie)
Summary:
You’ve always admired Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell from afar, you know him because your brother was his back seater, but you never expected to get close to Maverick. When he's assigned as the new flight instructor at Top Gun, you find yourself working side by side learning more every day with the legendary pilot. Getting closer through shared flights and training exercises you fall for him more and more each day, does he feel the same?
You are one of the 12 pilots that were called back for a mission. The pilots had a little get together at the hard deck yesterday, now you're meeting your instructor.
You and Phoenix are the only female graduates returning for the big mission. Yeah sure being called back for it really raised your ego. But the mission is to destroy an unauthorized uranium enrichment facility, not that you think you can't do it. But this mission is described as the scariest mission any aviator could be put on.
So whether you go on this mission or not is up to you and you've fully decided that you are going on this mission, with Phoenix as your back seater of course.
You guys walk into the meeting area and sit at your desk next to Fanboy and Payback. "Hi y/n" Bob smiles at you "Hi bob. How is-" You're cut off by Cyclone "Everybody please take a seat." He clears his throat.
You sit by Phoenix and look up to see Warlock and Cyclone. "The pilots sitting in front of me were called back to Top gun because you guys are the elite. The best of the best." Warlock says.
"Damn straight." Hangman says earning a chuckle from the team. " We no longer have the technological advantage, for this mission, success now more than ever comes down to the man or woman in the box." Hangman looks at you and Pheonix and you put your middle finger up on the side of your head. Bates clears his throat.
"Today you will be introduced to your new instructor, he is a Top Gun graduate with real world experience in every mission aspect you will be expected to master. His exploits are legendary, and he is considered to be one of the finest pilots this program has ever produced. What he has to teach you they very well mean the difference between life and death." Admiral Bates says. You all turn around to look at the instructor. Holy shit it's Maverick. You've always felt a little something for him.
"I give you Captain Pete Mitchell. Callsign, Maverick." They step away as Maverick takes their spot. "Good morning" he says looking over the squad. But when he looks at you, you guys make direct eye contact and he gives you a smile.
He talks about what trainings will look like and you guys are dismissed. You and Phoenix are walking down the hall and she looks around to make sure nobody is around. "So what the hell was that about? She asks "what?"
"You were basically drooling over him y/n oh my gosh." She laughs "Didn't he work with your brother? Is he not too old for you?" Thinking about it, he's not too old for you. He's just 2 years older.
"Yeah, they did work together, but he's younger than Nick so Mav is closer to my age than he is." You say
"Wow nicknames already? Just marry the guy y/n." She teases. "There's no way he would ever go for me. The second Penny knows he's back at North Island she'll come running back." You sigh
"Who's gonna come running back?" You hear from down the hall "Holy shit. Uh- um no one." Your eyes widen as Phoenix gives you a smirk.
"Alright well training starts at 1. I'll see you later." He walks away. "There's no way he didn't hear me say that about Penny." You say turning around towards Phoenix and she laughs at you.
You and Phoenix are in the air with Fanboy and Payback, and Hangman.
"Good afternoon aviators, welcome to basic fighting maneuvers, as briefed today's exercise consists of dogfighting, guns only no missiles. You do not go below the hard deck of 5,000 feet. Working as a team you must shoot me down or else.. "Or else what, sir?" Payback asks "Or else I shoot back, If I shoot any of you down, you both lose."
"This guy needs an ego check." Hangman says "So what do you say we put some skin in to the game?" Payback says. "What do you have in mind?"
"Whoever gets shot down first has to do 200 pushups." Payback suggests "Guys, that's a lot of pushups." Mav replies
"Well they don't call it an exercise for nothing, sir." Fanboy adds. "You got yourselves a deal gentlemen, ladies you good with that?" He asks you guys. You chuckle "Alright yeah, let's turn and burn." You say.
"Fanboy do you see him?" Payback asks "Nothing on my radar, must be somewhere behind us." You guys are right next to each other, very little space between your planes. Suddenly Maverick comes in between.
"Shit!" You yell. He flies up further and circles back. "Tally Tally Tally!" Phoenix says "Mavericks coming in break left y/n!" You hear from Fanboy. "Y/n where are you!" Payback asks. "I'm coming I'm coming." You say heading towards him. "Payback break right." You tell him to and he does, getting out of Mavericks clear shot. "Y/n just saved your asses guys, but it's gonna cost her." Maverick says heading for you.
"Fuck! Y/n what's your plan?" Phoenix says tapping the glass indicating that maverick is right there. "Trust me he's not getting us." You say. He's right behind you and your plan was to go up and circle behind, but instead you go further down. "Y/n you're too low!! You're hitting the hard deck" Payback yells "Altitude, Altitude, Altitude." The alarm sound blares "Oh shit!" You immediately pull back up, giving Maverick a clear shot.
"That's a kill." He says. Fuck, you let your team down. And now you owe pushups.
"Down 120, Down 121..." Your arms burn as you do your pushups, goddammit you still have 80 to go. Phoenix, Payback, and Fanboy are watching from the window. "That should be us down there." Fanboy says. "Yeah but it's not, and now you know a little something about y/n, she'll do anything for her team." Phoenix smiles looking down at you.
"Yeah she's one stubborn girl. But she won't ever let you guys down or leave a wingman behind I know that's for sure." Maverick says from behind them. "Hey so what's up with you guys? Are you a thing, sir?" Fanboy asks but Phoenix elbows him. "Sorry?" Mav says, Fanboy clears his throat "Nothing sir, my apologies." He says walking away.
You've just finished the day and as you shut your locker you find Maverick behind you. "Holy shit." You get scared by his sudden appearance, you clear your throat. "Excuse me, sir" you say trying to walk around. He grabs your arm
"Hey wait" he turns you to look at him. You make eye contact and you can feel your cheeks burning red. "I wanted to let you know that your team appreciates what you do for them, that from today and just in general. I appreciate you." He says and he gives you a smile. You can feel butterflies in your stomach but you can do nothing more than just smile. "Oh, thank you." You chuckle, you realize his hand has been on your shoulder this whole time. His hand moves up to your face to tuck your hair behind your ear. "I'll see you tomorrow, y/n." He says and then walk away. You make your way down the hallway to leave. What the fuck just happened?
The next few days of training is more dogfighting. Same rules, you die, you owe pushups. Throughout the day nobody has been able to get a kill on Maverick, you're hoping to today. You're in the air with Hangman, Bob and Phoenix. Out of nowhere Maverick comes in between you.
"Greetings aviators, fights on." He says
"Break right y/n" Hangman yells and you do except he goes the other way. Maverick follows you instead of Hangman. "Fuck, where's he going?" Bob asks. "That's why we call him hangman, he always hangs you out to dry." You groan trying to get Maverick off your tail.
"Leaving your wingman. That's a strategy I haven't seen in a while." Maverick says looking in Hangman's direction. "He just called you a man y/n, you gonna take that?" Hangman chuckles "So long as he doesn't call you a man." You say taking a sharp turn to try and get away.
"Talk to me Bob where's Maverick?" You ask "Jeez! His nose is already coming back." He says looking back at him "Get him off me Hangman!" You yell
"For all you folks at home, this is how you bury a fossil." Hangman says trying to shoot Maverick down.
"Alright Hangman, time to teach you a lesson." Mav says circling back. "You're out y/n" he says. "Son of a bitch!" You yell smacking the dashboard. You hear Phoenix and Bob sigh but they tell you it's not your fault. Very soon Hangman is dead too. You know after hearing "that's a kill."
"Down 78, Down 79..."
"Y/n shouldn't be down here again" Bob says while doing pushups. "Well I wonder why she is." Hangman grunts
"Maybe cause I don't leave my team, bagman." You say, from the corner of your eye you can see Maverick chuckling from your comment. "That's funny, Maverick said the same thing yesterday." Phoenix says. You don't respond, but you're just thinking about it. Maverick talking about you?
Next day's training is the last day for this situational dogfight. But today it's just you and Hangman in the air. "Y/n I have a question, what's up with you and Maverick?"he asks, bringing flush to your cheeks again just at the thought of it. "Nothing hangman." You say clearing your throat. Maverick comes up and initiates the fight. You grunt and immediately get at it and follow Maverick.
"What is with these two?" Hangman says just watching you guys. You're just going further and further down, you're past the hard deck and just circling with Maverick. "Let's get it over with y/n, your strategy is about to run us into the ground what's your move?" He asks
"You can bail out anytime." You say looking him straight in the eyes. "Pull up, pull up! Pull up, pull up!" You hear from the alarm system. Maverick grunts and pulls up. You do so too. "C'mon you got it, now don't think just do." He encourages you.
"C'mon y/n you got it, just drop down and take the shot!" You hear Hangman say. You're going to, but it's too low. "Too late had your chance." Mav says and turns straight up. He circles back and shoots you. "That's a kill, y/n." He says. "Goddammit!" You yell. "Go see Hondo about your pushups" he says and flies away.
As you're doing your pushups, Hondo stopped counting a while ago but you haven't stopped. "Alright that's enough." He says but you still don't stop. He walks away and you stop once your arms can't take it anymore.
"Kid, with how training's going so far for you, it does not seem like you're going on this mission." Hangman says walking up to you. You scoff and get up, you begin walking away when he grabs you by the shoulder.
"Get out of your head, y/n. I don't know if it's simply that our instructor is Maverick, if that's what's bothering you but whatever it is, it cannot get in your way." He says, you listened to him without turning around, you wanted to turn around and slap the shit out of just cause you felt like it. Instead you walk away.
You head towards your locker and grab your stuff. You walk out to your car and throw your bags in the trunk, it's laundry day. You shut your trunk and get into the driver's seat. Shit you forgot your ID key card that lets you into the building. You groan and go to the front door and look through the glass. You see Cyclone walk by and you knock rapidly hoping he will hear you. Luckily he does and he lets you in.
"Lieutenant L/n, shouldn't you have your own card to be let in?" He asks raising his eyebrow at you. You sigh, "Yes sir, I set it at my locker and I forgot to grab it." You say looking down.
He notices that something is off and he runs your shoulder. "I'm gonna let you off with a warning but it better be the first and last time this happens. I can't emphasize enough how important it is that you never lose your ID card okay?Have a good night lieutenant." He says and you speed walk to your locker.
You turn the corner and Maverick is walking towards you. Before he has the chance to say anything you just walk past him.
You hear him scoff and when you get to your locker and you're unlocking it he comes by you. "Y/n what the fuck is your problem?" He asks
"What the fuck is wrong with me? What the fuck is wrong with you? Why did you shoot me down over and over again?" You say shutting your locker. You grab your ID and start walking back from where you came in but he follows you. You make it to your car again and he's still right behind you.
"Don't think that just because I like you I'm gonna go easy on you." He says "fuck" he mutters. You immediately stop and turn around "You what?" You say.
"Wait no I didn't mean it." He starts, your heart drops. "Oh. Okay then." You say getting into your car but he stops you. "No wait y/n, I did mean it. I'm sorry for being a dick." He apologizes. "I don't know what to say." You say looking down.
"Well I think it would be okay if you start with telling me if you like me too or not." He chuckles awkwardly.
You laugh and look up at his stupid smile, his stupid eyes and his stupid gorgeous face. "Oh my gosh Maverick" you say as you pull him in to you to kiss him. He pulls away and he looks at you. "I'm guessing that's a yes?" He chuckles. "Yes Mav." You chuckle and he leans in to kiss you again, he deepens the kiss by pushing you against your car door.
He pulls away again. "Y/n, you've just gotta believe in yourself. You're one of the greatest pilots I know, you're just getting into your head about this mission but trust me you will get it." He says. You just nod your head and he lets you into your car and you leave.
Over the next week, you guys train more dogfighting.and overall defense. Today's exercise is going through the actual course of the mission. Maverick has already showed you guys the course and now you're ready to go through with it. "So for today's lesson we're gonna go easy on you guys. Max ceiling, 300 feet. Time to target, 3 minutes." Mav explains. "Fuck." You mutter under your breath.
"Good luck" he smiles at the crew.
You're in the air with Phoenix, and Coyote.
"Time is 1 minute thirty, we are 2 seconds behind. Increase to 490 knots." Phoenix tells you. "We've gotta move Coyote!" You groan. He speeds up too much and almost hits you. "Oh shit!" He yells and he pulls up and the alarm on his radar starts beeping.
"Why are they dead?" Maverick asks. "We broke the 300 foot ceiling, then a sam took us out." You explain. "No, why are they dead?" He asks again "I slowed down and I didn't communicate." Coyote says. "Why didn't you communicate with your team?" Mav asks
"I was too focused on- Coyote starts but is interrupted. "No, a reason that their family will accept at the funeral." Maverick says.
Maverick looks at you and asks "Why didn't you anticipate the turn?" but before he lets you answer he says again "Don't tell me y/n, tell it to her family" and nods towards Phoenix.
Hangman, Fanboy and Payback die too due to Hangman's obliviousness. Hangman backs it up with "either a man flies like Maverick or a man does not make it back." Mavericks lectures are just him emphasizing how you must focus on all things at once, how focusing too much on one thing and too little on another can get you killed.
The days over and you're done putting stuff away at your locker. Making sure to not forget anything this time you walk out to your car. Before leaving the building, Maverick comes up to you. "Hey y/n, I just wanted to say good job today." He says
"You don't mean it, I killed my team and I don't even have a good enough excuse to fucking say at the funeral. I'll see you tomorrow." You say getting into your car.
The next day, Maverick is called into a meeting with Cyclone and Warlock. He finds out that he will no longer be instructing since the operation has been set for a week earlier. Cyclone believes that the only thing Maverick has taught us that the mission cannot be flown.
Everybody is called to the meeting room. "I will be intructing the training for this mission now. We have less than a week, the time set has been moved earlier. As of today there are new mission parameters." Cyclone explains. "The time to target is now 4 minutes."
"Doesn't that expose us to their fighting air crafts?" Coyote asks "it does, so it will be a dogfight. But it seems like that's the only thing Maverick "taught" you." He replies. "Goddamn, we'll be sitting ducks." Fanboy sighs.
Suddenly the screen turns on and shows the flight course, indicating someone is airborne in an f-18 single. "Who the hell is that?" Asks Cyclone.
"Maverick entering point alpha. Confirm green range." Comes from the radio. "Uh maverick, green range confirmed. I don't see an event scheduled for you, sir." Also comes from the radio. "Well I'm going anyway." Maverick replies
The whole group sits up straight intrigued to see the screen. Maverick sets the time to target as 2 minutes 15 seconds. "2:15? That's impossible " says Coyote. Maverick begins the course. Surely, he makes it and lands the bombs perfectly, he even finished with 15 seconds to spare. Leaving everyone stunned. "Damn" is all Hangman says.
It is now the day of the mission. For Maverick to have a last chance to fly for Top Gun, he will be flying the mission since he showed it can be flown.
Everybody is in the room, Cyclone is talking about how the 5 people who do not fly the mission will stand by for any alternative roles.
"It has been an honor flying with you, each and every one of you represents the best of the best. This is a very specific mission, my choice is a reflection of that." Maverick says.
"Choose your two foxtrot teams." Cyclone says. You feel so nervous because you don't know if you're going or not. "Payback and Fanboy, Phoenix and Bob." He sighs. Fuck, you're not going. Bob will be Pheonix's backseater and Fanboy will be Paybacks's.
Everybody looks at you confused as to why you're not paired with Phoenix. "And your wingman?." Cyclone asks. Tension filling the room, everybody is expecting it to be Hangman if not Rooster.
"Y/n." Maverick says.
"The rest of you will stand by on the carrier for any reserve role that's required. Dismissed." Admiral Bates says.
Phoenix and Bob come up to you and Bob pats you on the back.
"Holy shit y/n, it's gonna be different flying without you. But we're gonna do it." Phoenix says wrapping her arm around you.
Preparing for the mission, Cyclone speaks to you guys once again about the time to target and detailed specifics about the mission. "This is what you've all been training for. Come home safely."
You guys are on the tarmac, you go up to Maverick and shove him. "Hey! what the fuck was that for?" He asks while turning around.
"Why the hell did you pick me?" You say "because I believe in you, y/n. I know that you can do it, I couldn't do it without you being my wingman. don't go into this thinking that you can't do it." He says putting his hand on your shoulder.
You feel so nervous and you start breathing fast. "It will be okay I promise." He says pulling you into a hug. "We'll talk when we get back okay." He says giving you a smile.
Your breathing going back to normal you take a deep breath and head for your plane as he heads for his.
You give Phoenix and Bob a salute as they get in their planes. You take a deep breath and put your helmet on. Hondo comes up to your plane. "You got this y/n. It's been an honor, I believe in you." He says wiping his tears. You look at him still scared as hell. " Don't give me that look." He laughs "it's the only one i've got." You say patting his shoulder.
"good luck and come home please." He says as you shut your ceiling in.
" Dagger one, up and ready." Mav says through the radio. "Dagger spare, up and ready. You hear from Hangman. "Dagger three, up and ready." From Phoenix. You take a deep breath. "Dagger two, up and ready." You say
"Support assets airborne, strike package ready, standing by for launch decision." You hear from back in the room everybody is in. "Send them." Cyclone says. "Dagger one away." Maverick goes. "Dagger two away." You follow Maverick. "Dagger three away" Pheonix follows. "Dagger four away" and finally Payback follows too.
"Daggers descending below radar." Maverick says as you guys fly into the fog. "Enemy territory up ahead" Mav says. He takes a deep breath, looking back at the rest of the dagger squad. "Dagger attack." He says and they release the missiles. "Tomahawks airborne" you hear. "No turning back now." Says Admiral Bates. You see the tomahawks fly above you guys.
"Daggers, ascend to attack formation" Maverick says and you guys do so. "Daggers set, proceeding to target, time set to 2 minutes and thirty seconds in three, two, one, mark." Maverick says and starts his timer. "Two mark." You say pressing yours. "Three mark, Four mark." You hear from Phoenix and Payback.
"Going in." Mav says. As you guys go in, you stay low and you're good under radar. You look up and see sams set.
"2 minutes to target!" Bob says
"Copy, were 14 seconds behind y/n we've got to move!" Payback says to you. Your palms are sweaty and breathing is heavy.
"Thirty seconds to tomahawk impact on enemy airstrip." You hear from the radio.
"Dagger, Comanche. We're picking up two bandits." You hear. "Where the hell did they come from?" Cyclone says. Shit. "They're headed the other way, they don't know we're here. But the second those tomahawks hit, they will turn around." Mav says "copy", and you guys reply.
"We have to get there before they do. Daggers, increase speed." Maverick says. Phoenix does, but you don't. "Sir, daggers two and four are behind schedule. Time to target, one minute twenty seconds." You hear from the radio again. Fuck. "Tomahawk impact in three, two, one." You hear. "Impact!".
"They know we're coming now." Cyclone says.
"Bandits are switching direction to defend enemy target." "Y/n, where are you?" Maverick asks. But you don't reply. "C'mon y/n! Bandits are inbound we gotta make time up now! Let's turn and burn." Payback says. "If we don't increase speed now, they'll be waiting for us when we get there y/n." Payback says
You take a deep breath still rapidly breathing. "Y/n, you can do it. Don't think, just do." Mav whispers to you.
You suddenly increase speed. "Jesus y/n, not that fast!" Payback says but you keep going. "Alright let's go." you say continuing with Payback following you. "Damn y/n take it easy!" Fanboy yells.
"Sir, dagger two is engaging." "Alright now hit your target and come home." Cyclone says. "Thirty seconds to target, Bob check your laser." Mav says "Code verified, laser is a go!" Bob says. They pop up, and drop in "Bombs away." Maverick says and successfully hits the target.
"Direct hit!" He yells. "There's miracle number one." Warlock says through the radio. "Dagger two, status?" He asks "We're almost there Mav!" You yell. You pop up and drop in. "Fanboy where's my laser?" You ask. "Y/n there's something wrong with this laser, shit!" Fanboy yells fumbling with the laser. "Dead eye! Dead eye! Dead eye!" He yells. "Fuck! There's no time, I'm dropping in blind." You say
"Nearly there, don't!" Fanboy yells but you do so anyway.
"Bombs away! Bombs away!" You yell and immediately pull up. You've successfully hit the target as you see it explode while you're still pulling up. "Bullseye! Bullseye! Bullseye!" You hear from the radio followed by cheering. "There's miracle number two." Warlock says "Now they're in coffin corner." Cyclone says.
"We're not out of this yet!" Maverick grunts, struggling. Your eyes want to shut, but you're fighting with all you can to stay conscious.
Maverick and Phoenix make it over the mountain, setting off the sams. "Smoke in the air! Phoenix break right!" You hear Maverick yell. You're still fighting for your life trying not to pass out. "Here comes another one!" You hear Bob yell.
"Y/n status!" Maverick yells. You make it over the mountain. You see the sams heading towards you. "Oh my god! Smoke in the air! Smoke in the air!" You yell.
"Break right y/n! Break right!" You hear fanboy yell at you. "There's more coming!" He says "deploying flares!" You reply. You press the red button and your flares are launched, defending.
"Negative contact!" You grunt. "Y/n! Watch out! 9 o'clock!!" Fanboy yells at you smacking his window in the direction of where they are coming. They were gonna hit Phoenix, but she moved out of the way and they were headed towards you.
"2 more on your left y/n!" Bob yells. Shit. Missiles are coming at you from both sides and you don't know where to go. "Defending!" You yell but you're out of flares. "Shit I'm out of flares!" You tell trying to break left but their on your tail.
"Dagger one defending!" Maverick grunts getting in the way of you and the missiles headed towards you. "Maverick no!" You yell as he gets hit, not taking out all of the missiles in time and falling down towards a mountain about to burn in.
"Shit!" You yell, tears swelling in your eyes. "Dagger one is hit! I repeat, Dagger one is hit! Maverick is down!" Phoenix yells into the radio. "Fuck. Fuck, fuck. Dagger one status? Does anyone see him?" You yell.
"I didn't see a parachute, y/n." Payback says. "We're gonna circle back. We have to!" You yell still looking in the direction where he fell. "Comanche, bandits inbound, single group, recommend dagger head south. One minute to intercept." You hear coming from the radio. "Get them back to the carrier, now." You hear cyclone say. Fuck, the tears leave your eyes. You're going after Maverick.
"All daggers head for ECP, you have bandits headed to you."
"What about maverick!" You yell. "Tell her there's nothing she can do about Maverick. Not in a goddamn F-18!" Cyclone says
"Dagger spare, request permission to launch and fly air cover!" You hear Hangman yell. "Negative, spare."
"Fuck!" You smack your hand against the dashboard. "Send search and rescue." Warlock says. But cyclone says no, not with bandits in the air. "Sir! Maverick is still out there." Hondo says but Cyclone says we are not losing anyone else today. "Get them home now." He says
"Dagger, you are not to engage." The tears keep coming from your eyes. "Dagger two, return to carrier. Dagger two acknowledge, you are not to engage."
"Y/n, the bandits are closing in. We can't go back." Phoenix says, her voice breaking. "He's gone y/n." Fanboy says
You break sharply and go in Mavericks direction. "Y/n no!" Phoenix yells. You're flying over the mountain where he got hit. You set off more sams from that corner. "Where are you Mav, where are you." You whisper to yourself looking over the area. Unaware and without flares you get hit. "Fuck!" You yell.
"Dagger two is hit, I repeat Dagger two is hit." You hear coming from the radio and you're about to crash. At the last second you're able to eject and crash-land into some trees. You land safely on the ground and you fold up your parachute.
"You alright!!" You hear somebody yell and you look up and see Maverick sprinting at you. You gasp as he aggressively throws himself at you, hugging you and you both fall to the floor. You push him off of you and get up.
"What the hell!?" You yell at him. "What are you doing here y/n! You think I took that missile for you to be down here with me? You should be back on the carrier by now!!" He says to you. "I saved your life!" You say looking up at his tall figure, poking your finger into his chest.
"I saved your life! That's the whole fucking point. What the hell were you even thinking??" He says pushing your hand off of his chest. "You told me not to think!!" You scream back at him smacking his hand. You guys look at each other for a few seconds, catching your breath.
"Fuck. Well it's good to see you." He says. You look at him for a bit. You throw yourself at him bringing him into a hug. "It's good to see you too." You say as he's holding on to you tightly.
"C'mon I have a plan." he says putting his arm around your waist, guiding you. You guys walk about half a mile past some trees. You guys find a rock to hide behind, you look over at the enemy's base. Alarms blaring and you see people scrambling all over the place, trying to figure out why their runway was taken out.
Maverick is looking through his binoculars. "Hey look." He says handing them to you. "You're joking." You say as you see the F-14 that he's talking about. "It's either that or we're dead y/n." He says taking them back. "We don't even know if that piece of shit can fly, Mav." You say. "Well let's go find out." He says jumping over the rock. "Fuck. Mav! okay." you say wiping your face.
You follow him and once you catch up you hold onto his arm. "Wait up." You say. "Sorry" he says slowing down. "Mav, there's people." You whisper, tugging on his arm. "Okay okay." He says slowing down a lot. "Wait no, okay uhh here let's run." He says starting to run and you do so too.
You guys make it to the F-14. Mav makes his way over to the dash system. "Okay, okay once I give you the signal, you're gonna flip the switch until the needle reaches 120. Once the engine turns on, you're gonna pull up all of the pins and unplug everything. Understand?" He says looking at you. "Yeah, yeah I got it." You say. He presses the button to turn it on and it starts. "Yes!" He exlaims.
He turns around to get in and he puts on his helmet. But he stops and turns back around. "Hey-" he says, he grabs your face and kisses you. You pull away and look at him "we're gonna make it y/n." He says and you kiss him again.
He gets in and gives you the signal. You flip the switch when you see the needle reach 120. You run around the plane, unplugging everything and you stow his ladder and jump on.
You get into your seat and get settled. "Holy shit, this thing's old." You chuckle looking over all of the buttons. You guys start driving out and onto the runway. "Both runways are cratered Mav, how are we gonna get this museum piece up?" You ask.
Mav looks around and pulls a lever. "Why are the wings coming out Mav?" You say with your face pressed against the glass as you look down.
"Just hold on." He replies and accelerates rapidly. "Holy shit! Mav this is not a runway!!" You yell. You guys barely make it up in the air, your wheels hitting the cratered tarmac piece on the way up, breaking off.
You turn your radio on, connecting to the carrier. You and Maverick make it to sea. You see two planes coming up behind you guys. "Mav, there's somebody coming." You say tapping the glass.
"Shit, okay put your mask on. Smile and wave, if they knew who we were we'd already be dead." He says and you put on your mask. You look to your left and the enemy plane is right there, you guys wave. The pilot signals something to Mav.
"What does that mean?" You whisper. "Uh, I have no idea. Never seen it." He replies and he signals something to the guy. "Mav, his backseater is reaching into the weapons envelope. Can we outrun these guys?" You ask, getting scared.
"Y/n, look at the yellow flaps under your seat. That is the ejection handle you're gonna pull it when I tell you to." He says.
"Mav, can we outrun them?" You ask again. "No y/n. Not in a F-14." He sighs. "It's not the plane Mav, it's the pilot. You'd go after them if I wasn't here." You reply. "But you are here." He says.
"Fuck. Okay, hold on y/n" he says and he rapidly accelerates, trying to flee. The other guys immediately act on it and they start shooting. "flares y/n!" Mav yells. You press the button, releasing the flares and stopping the missiles.
"That was close!" You yell. Another shot headed towards you and you press the button again. "Mav were out of flares!! Break right!" He does so and the missles barely miss you guys.
You guys are nearing a valley, you can make it through if you get low enough. Maverick says the terrain will trip out the guys system. Once you make it through the small valley, Mav takes a sharp turn, causing the other guy to crash into the mountain. "Yes Mav! Splash one!' you yell excitedly.
"Fuck!! Maverick there's another one!" You smack his shoulder to get his attention. "Y/n we can't take anymore of this." Mav says as you guys start to get shot at. "Eject y/n! Eject!" He yells at you.
You pull at the yellow striped handles but you're not budging. "I said eject y/n!" He yells again. "It's not working!!" You yell still yanking at the handles. The other plane shoots at you guys again. "We're not gonna make it!" You yell.
Suddenly, the missile is intercepted by another flare coming from your right. The enemy plane is shot down.
"Ladies and gentlemen please welcome, your lord and savior, hangman." You hear as the plane gets near you. "Holy shit!" You laugh feeling a wave of relief take over your body. You settle back into your seat. He comes up right next to you guys. Maverick chuckles. "You look good Hangman." He says "I am good Mav, I'm very good." He smirks. "C'mon guys, lets go home." You say.
"Arriving at the carrier, barricade net needed. I repeat barricade net needed." Hangman says into his radio. You guys fly over the carrier, seeing the crew setting up the net. You circle back around and crash into the net.
You raise the ceiling and let out a heavy sigh, taking off your helmet. "Maverick!!
Y/n!!" Hondo yells running towards you guys. Everybody surrounds you guys cheering you guys on.
You jump off and stand on the tarmac, your heart still racing from the adrenaline. Phoenix, Rooster, Coyote, Payback, Fanboy, Bob and Hangman all run up to you. Engulfing you in a group hug.
"I never thought I'd be this happy to see you y/n." Payback says. "Yeah. Never do that shit again." Fanboy says pulling you into a hug. You pull away smiling and you look at Pheonix. "I knew you'd never leave anyone behind." She says bringing you into a tight hug and you hug her back tightly. You look back at Bob. "I don't know what to say. Holy shit y/n you almost died!" He yells at you hugging you. "It's good to see you too Bob." You chuckle.
Hangman clears his throat, you all look at him and see that he's looking at Mav coming up to you. "Go! Go!" Fanboy and Phoenix whisper pushing you away. Maverick comes up to you and hugs you tightly.
You fall into his touch, embracing him as if it's the last hug you'll ever get from him. "Y/n, you saved me. I couldn't have done it without you." He says. "And I couldn't have done it without you." You say looking up at him. "Not too bad for a wingman hey?" He chuckles. "As long as I'm only your wingman." You say looking up at him, smiling.
"Of course, we make the best team y/n." He says, his facial expression softening. He grabs your face and brings you closer. Pulling you into a kiss, you kiss him back. It was a passionate kiss, filled with the thrill from the mission and a promise of what was yet to come.
"Be mine, y/n." He whispers looking into your eyes. "Always." You say, leaning back into another kiss.

You and Maverick have been dating for a few months now, and he made every day better. Although you two are extremely busy people working at the same place, he never made that an excuse to not make time for you. He always makes you feel so special.
Maverick had planned a surprise for you. He had been dropping hints all week, but you still had no idea what it was. After a long day at the base, you walked into your shared apartment to find Maverick waiting for you patiently, he had the biggest smile on his cute face. You take your jacket off and hang it up, you let out a loud sigh.
"What's going on pretty girl?" He asks opening his arms for you. "Just a long day." You say falling into his hug. "Awh dear, I have the perfect thing planned for you then." He says. You look up with a confused look on your face.
"Just get ready," he says, handing you a blindfold. "Trust me." He says pecking you on the lips.
You laughed but did what he said, slipping the blindfold over your eyes. He took your hand and led you outside. You could feel the cool evening breeze and hear the distant hum of the base. He leads you to his car and after a short drive you arrive at the beach. You know cause you can hear the waves.
You walk further down the beach and Maverick removes the blindfold.
You gasped. Maverick had set up a cozy picnic under the stars, complete with your favorite foods and a blanket spread out on the grass. It was simple, but so special and thoughtful.
"Wow, Mav, this is amazing," you said, turning to him with a look of pure joy.
He wrapped his arms around your waist from behind, resting his chin on your shoulder. "I just wanted to do something special for you. You deserve it baby."
You settled down on the blanket, and Maverick poured you a glass of wine. The two of you spent the evening talking, laughing, and sharing stories. It was moments like these that made you realize how lucky you were to have him in your life.
Watching the sunset, Maverick pulled you close, wrapping the blanket around the both of you. You leaned your head on his shoulder, feeling the warmth against his touch.
"You know," he began, "I never thought I'd find someone who understands me the way you do. You've brought so much happiness into my life I just can't explain how you make me feel."
You smiled, your heart melting at his sweet words. "I feel the same way, Mav. I can't imagine my life without you. You're amazing."
He tilted your chin up, bringing your face closer to yours. "I love you," he whispered as he brings your face to his, kissing your lips softly.
"I love you too," you replied, deepening the kiss as you held each other.
The two of you laid embracing each other, just soaking in each other's presence and touch. Knowing that you love him and he loves you and that no matter what you will always be there for each other.
As your eyelids feel extremely heavy and your eyes are shutting by themselves, maverick rubs your arm and holds you tight.
You hear maverick whisper "I love you" against your head as you drift to sleep.
