Kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor

🌅💙
You look so pretty (pretty like the sun)
San Diego sunsets never failed to impress, even more so when he was flying. Sure everyone could see the sunset from the ground, it wasn’t any less beautiful. But seeing it at 500 knots, when it’s just you and your Jet, becoming one with the sky.
This sunset however was different, his toes in the sand as the residual warmth from the day, the ocean crashing gently and comfortingly against the shoreline, leaving a trail of fresh sea foam in its wake. The colors swallowed his soul whole, oranges and reds with a hint of yellow. Reflecting off of the shiny seemingly endless sea.
The ocean and the sky had always felt like his home. Until he began to see hints of black and green mixed into the sunset. Never before had he felt so at peace on the ground. Seeing the sunset reflected in a field of soft green. Swallowing the orange in its entirety.
“Ice….Tom-….you okay?”
The blonde snapped out of his trance. “Hm? Sorry I got a bit distracted”
The brunettes toothy smile send warm shivers down his chest and into the warm sand beneath them.
“You’ve been staring….”
“Have I?”
“Yeah, for a while now” Mavericks shy grin went from Ices eyes to his own feet nervously burying themselves in the sand.
Mustering up all of the courage he could, Ice locked his stare onto Mavericks face again.
“The sunset is beautiful, isn’t it?”
“You’ve barely looked at it” the shorter pilot laughed, the comfortable chuckle rattling his chest.
“I’ve been looking at it all evening, and never before has it looked so pretty….”
Mavericks face froze and a blush lit up his cheeks. “W-what do you mean?”
“Your eyes Pete….”
“My eyes?”
“Yes, it looks even more beautiful in your eyes”
The silence felt comfortable, but with a slight fear he’d made the man uncomfortable he planned a back out statement. But before it could even consider leaving his lips Pete spoke.
“Care to dance?”
This time Ice was frozen. “Dance?”
“Yeah, cmon” Maverick held his hand out. To which Ice tentatively grabbed, following Maverick further out onto the beach.
Ahead of him all he could see was Maverick leading him out closer to the ocean. Turing to smile back at him with that same beautiful orange reflecting in the green.
He couldn’t help the dopey grin that was plastered on his face.
The music from the bar alongside the beach could quietly be heard from where they stood. A song Ice had listened to so many times before but now was perfectly describing every moment he and Maverick shared on this beach.
I wanna go party
I wanna have fun
I wanna be happy could you show me how it’s done…
He felt mavericks hand come to rest on top of his epaulette on his shoulder, as he pulled the smaller man in by the waist, fingers brushing carefully over the soft material of their dress whites.
You look so pretty
Pretty like the sun
I could watch forever while you shine on everyone….
He pulled him in even closer. Gently swaying them to the sound of the music playing from the distant bar.
“The sunset really is beautiful” Maverick spoke.
“Yeah….the sunset” ices eyes flickered down to mavericks lips for a split second. As his thumb rubbed soothing motions on the small of his wingman’s back.
Its Black Friday, we’re in a Black Taxi
You take my hand and hold it gently on the middle seat
It’s all in my head, it’s all in my mind
Im so selfish, you’re so kind
“Pete I-…..I-“ Ice couldn’t find the words as they danced gently on the soft sand. The orange shining brightly as ever in Mavericks glossy eyes.
He was home, his home was soft San Diego sunsets in this man’s eyes. The thought scared the life out of him but also brought him back down to earth in the most gentle manner he’d ever felt.
Before he knew it their faces were inches apart. Mavericks hand squeezing and brushing his shoulder gently. “Tom…” he glanced between ices blue stare and his mouth, just as the blonde had done moments before.
It’s all in my head
Baby I can’t breathe
I look in the mirror, what has happened to me?
I wanna better body, I want better skin
I wanna be perfect like all your other friends….
In a last act of courage Tom swallowed, moving a hand up to gently rest against Pete’s cheek, for a moment he closed his eyes, pressing into the touch as his own hand came up to brush across Ices knuckles.
When he opened his eyes he was met with the most beautiful expression he’d ever seen grace over the blondes face. Then he dove in….into the endless ocean that was Tom Kazansky.
Pressing his mouth softly against the taller mans as he propped himself up on his toes.
You look so pretty….
Pretty like the wind….
Everytime you touch me….
I feel adrenaline….
It’s Black Friday, the end of the week.
You take my hand and hold it gently up against your cheek….
Their mouths moved in unison, chests now pressed flush against one another, no words left to speak for the time being. Mavericks arms wrapped around the back of Ices neck. As the blonde dipped him gently, holding his weight as he leaned him back to kiss him.
For once Maverick felt the most at peace he’d ever felt in his own mind. Everything went quiet, it felt like flying, it felt like moving through cotton candy clouds at the speed of sound. The out of control was pulling him in gently and holding him in his arms. Stability, focus, and love. No one had made him feel this comfortable before. This at home…..
He was home, home wasn’t something to search for anymore, or something to run from. Home was strong arms and blonde highlights, an academy ring pressing into his skin and a small beauty mark on the lower right side of a man’s jaw.
It’s all in my head….
It’s all in my mind….
I see the darkness, where you see the light 💙
Pulling back momentarily to rest his forehead against Mavericks, Ice let out a breathy chuckle. Pulling him in for a hug. Continuing to sway them gently.
“You’re absolutely gorgeous Pete…..inside and out”
Maverick wanted to cry. He wanted to sob, he wanted to laugh, he wanted to grab Ices hand and run away into forever together.
“I love you” he instead spoke, placing gentle kisses along Iceman’s shoulder and neck. As the arms around his waist never loosened.
“I love you too”
Looking out onto the shoreline they had come from earlier Maverick seen the wooden walls of the bar being broken up by another man standing with a glass in hand, clad in the same dress whites they wore. Smiling softly at the scene laid out before him.
“Good job kid….”
Maverick smiled at him from the distance, unsure of whether the dark haired mustached man could see his expression. Raising his glass at the two young men on the beach. Viper smiled. Before turning to head back inside.
After watching viper disappear he buried his face in Ices shoulder, breathing out and relaxing even further into the embrace as the sun said its final goodbye for the night behind the horizon, soon to be replaced by a starry sky, and a bright moon to lull them off into the night.
Maverick was home 🌅🌌
