Pairings: Tom ‘Iceman’ Kazansky x fem!reader
A long, drawn-out sigh escaped Ice as he stepped into your shared home. Maverick was such a pain in the ass. The entire day had been filled with Ice and Slider having to deal with Maverick and Goose’s shenanigans. Those two were little devils; Ice was convinced. Now, all he needed was to spend the evening curled up with the love of his life.
You head the front door close softly. What shocked you was that you didn’t hear anything from your boyfriend. Usually, he would call out to you, a newfound happiness in his voice now that he got to come home to you. Today, however, Tom never spoke a word as he stepped into your home. “Honey?” You called softly as you stepped out of the kitchen.
After a few seconds, you found him stepping out of the front entry, shoulders sagging and a soft frown on his face. The sight made your heart clench. “Tommy?” His head snapped up, eyes tired as he offered you a smile. You gave him a sympathetic smile in return, opening your arms wide as he walked toward you.
He collapsed into your arms, making you grunt slightly as you adjusted to support his weight. “Wanna talk about it?” You whispered into his shoulder as your hand ran up and down his back softly. He only shook his head. You could have guessed what was bothering him. It had been the same thing for the past week and a half. Maverick.
Wordlessly, you lead him to the couch. You sat down before pulling him on top of you. Your boyfriend barely put up a fight as he rested his head on your chest. His long body filled the entire couch, so much so that his legs hung over the edge slightly. His arms wound around your waist as he tucked his head into your neck.
You could feel his eyelashes flutter against the soft skin of your neck as he closed his eyes. The stress of the day rolled off him in waves as your hand moved p and down his back. “Is there anything else I can do for you, Tommy?” You whisper softly into his ear.
A beat of silence passed as your fingers drew delicate patterns over his shirt. He sucked in a soft breath, contemplating his response. But you soon realized that Ice wasn’t going to say anything. The pilot simply grabbed your hand and placed it on the top of his head, wordlessly communicating what he wanted.
There was a soft smile on your face as you began carding your fingers through his hair. For as perfectly styled as it was, there was a surprisingly little amount of gel. Your fingers moved slowly and gently through your boyfriend's hair, fingertips gently scratching at his scalp.
You could feel him melt into you at your soft touch. The feeling of your fingertips running across his scalp had him nearly moaning at the sensation.
This was how you remained for the next twenty minutes Eventually, Tom's breathing evened out and he was snoring softly. You smiled softly at the sound. After such a long day, you were glad that you were able to help him relax. Plus, you would never turn down an opportunity to play with your boyfriend’s hair.
Your fingers kept moving carefully through his hair, your other hand holding the back of his neck as he slept soundly. By now, you were simply running your hand gently across the top of his head, almost as if you were petting his head.
Your hand eventually slowed until it was just resting on his head. As your eyes slipped shut, you could feel his arms tighten around you and nuzzle further into your chest. Your thumb stroked softly over the back of his neck as you allowed sleep to finally pull you under.

"I really don't think this is what I want to be doing before my first day." You said with a sigh as you looked at the loud and clearly crowded bar in front of you.
Your friend shook you lightly by the shoulder "It's exactly what you should be doing. Half of the pilots you'll be flying with will be here."
Letting out another soft groan as they began dragged you inside, you said forceully "But we leave by eight, no later!"
"Yeah yeah I know."
You almost flinched at the mixed smell of alcohol, smoke and sweat that hit you as you entered the bar. You grimaced a bit as you saw the large bustling crowd. A mix of military personnel and locals, some mixed together, some grouped up.
You wondered if you were the only pilot not wearing their uniform. You felt a bit out of place as you slid through the crowd and sat at the bar beside your friend.
Looking around, your eyes stopped momentarily on a taller man with blonde hair. A pilot, big smile, attractive. You wondered if he was one of the pilots you'd be working with.
Looking back at the bartender as they came over, you missed the man you had just been admiring look over at you.
Iceman's eyes seemed to double take as he looked over a the bar. As he scanned you up and down, interest took hold. He had never seen you before, or the friend you were with. You smiled at the bartender and he felt an odd flutter in his chest.
Feeling a smack on his shoulder, he looked over to see Slider staring at him amused "What's got you so distracted all of a sudden?"
Iceman smirked a little as he gestured towards you "Talking to the bartender."
Slider whistled lowly "Cute. And just you're type. You gonna go talk to 'em?"
Ice shrugged his head a bit "I'm thinking about it."
That was a lie, there was no thinking about it, and no way he would let you leave this bar without at least learning your name.
--- ---
"Oh, there's Jeremy! I'm gonna go say hi, don't go anywhere!"
As your friend bounded off without waiting for a reply, you just let out a soft laugh. You knew it wouldn't take long before you were left on your own.
Seeing a figure slide into the seat your friend had just been in, you could feel the strangers eyes boring into you. You internally cursed, hoping it wasn't some drunk local hoping to get lucky.
When they didn't look away, you finally glanced over. You felt your breath hitch in your throat as your eyes locked with a pair of icy blue ones. The man you had seen earlier was now right beside you, looking down at you with a charming smile.
"Hi." He said casually.
"Hello." You smiled as you sipped at the straw in your drink.
He continued to smile as he stared at you. You almost laughed "Is there a reason you're staring at me?"
His smile widened "Yeah, because I think you're beautiful."
You felt your chest clench as you tried to repress a grin. You nodded your head, amused and surprised.
"Your friend coming back, or can I sit down?" He added on, sparing you of a response to his blunt compliment.
So he was waiting for your friend to leave? How long had he been watching you? The thought made your skin burn hot.
"I doubt I'll see them again for a while." You said with a soft laugh before you motioned your head, welcoming him to sit.
You might as well get to know at least one pilot before tomorrow.
He smiled brightly as he sat down, obviously not bothered by his proximity to you as he stayed facing you, his knee brushing your thigh.
"I'm Tom, but my call sign is Iceman." Before you could respond he added on "Uh, a call sign is basically a nickname we have as pilots."
You smiled at him as you bit down on your straw, noting the way his eyes lingered on your lips as you did this.
So he assumed you were a local. You had heard of Iceman, he was a hot shot, number one at Top Gun in the class a couple years before you. And apparently he was cocky, and a tad bit full of himself, maybe this could be fun.
"Why do they call you that?" You asked softly.
He shrugged his head a bit as he leaned on the bar, "Because I'm cool in stressful situations. Ice cold. I make no mistakes."
You hummed a bit with a small smile, watching as his eyes scanned your face again.
"What's your name?" He asked softly.
"Y/n."
Reaching out his hand he grinned "Nice to meet you Y/n."
Taking it, you shook his hand, not unaware of the fluttering in your stomach, or the heat at the tips of your ears. He was certainly charming.
You looked around a bit, feigning ignorance "So the air base must be close to here huh? A lot of pilots in here."
He nodded as he casually looked around "Yeah, this is the main bar we come to for a night out. So I'm assuming you're not from here then?" You shook your head "Well that explains why I haven't seen you before."
"Just got into town today." You added casually before you turned your head towards him a bit more "So, Iceman" you began, noting the way his lip quirked as you used his call sign "What's it like being a pilot?"
You listened to him talk for a few minutes, deciding that though he was definitley a bit full of himself, he was also charismatic, loved his job, and loved flying.
"You get along with the other pilots, or are there rivalries?" You might as well get some info before you walk into your new station blindly.
He let out a short laugh "No, we all get along. Occasionally a newbie gets transferred in, thinks they're the shit, but we humble them quickly."
You smirked at this "Got any newbies recently?"
"No, but we got a new pilot transferring in tomorrow."
"Oh? What's their call sign?" You held your breath, waiting for it.
"Apollo."
You rose your brow "Well that's an interesting name."
"Yeah, I guess Apollo is the god of prophecy or something." He said with an almost disinterested tone.
"So they can see the future?" You joked.
He let out a chuckle "That would be something. No, apparently they got a reputation for being able to see things coming before they happen. Meaning great instincts, but we'll see."
You wanted to laugh, but you held it in. "You don't believe it?"
He shrugged his head "I hear a lot of reputations about pilots, half of them are exaggerated."
You turned fully towards him now, your leg pushing his aside but still resting against each other. This clearly caught him off guard as he straightened up a bit.
You set your elbow on the bar and put your head in your hand "And what's your reputation?"
He licked his lips as he smiled "I've got a few."
Before your conversation could move forward, you saw a large man suddenly appear at Iceman's side as he slung his arm around his shoulder. Iceman was clearly annoyed at this sudden intrusion, but you looked patiently at the new man.
"Iceman, ask your new friend here if they play darts, we need two more players."
Ice looked like he was about to shoo him off, but you spoke first.
"I do."
Iceman looked over at you a bit shocked, as Slider grinned "Great."
"You play darts?" Iceman asked amused
You shrugged "I'm decent."
You watched his mind working as a small smirk played at his lips. "You down a player each team?" Iceman asked Slider.
"Yes'sir."
"Alright, how about a deal then." He said to you now.
"What kind of deal?"
"You win, I pay your tab. I win, I get a kiss."
You saw his friend repress a smile, and you smirked. "Alright, deal."
Iceman's grin grew wider as you agreed. Standing, he reached out his hand for you to shake. Taking it, you were a bit surprised as he continued to hold your hand as he led you to the dart board, where you were greeted by the other pilots with a chorus of cheers.
--- --- ---
You let out a long breath as you aimed your dart at the board. You needed three points, no more or you'd bust, giving Iceman the chance to win. As you threw your dart, you let out a disappointed groan as you barely missed your mark.
You saw Iceman smile widely as he stepped up to the board. After a moment, he threw his dart, hitting the double four, earning the perfect score he needed.
You and your teammates groaned as his team cheered. You watched as Iceman turned towards you and took a step closer, clearly proud of himself. "Looks like you owe me a kiss."
You heard snickers and teasing 'oohs' coming from the other pilots, but you ignored them. Taking a step closer you stared up at Iceman, watching as he held his breath, his eyes darting between yours and yours lips. Leaning up slowly, you smiling softly before quickly kissing his cheek.
The others around you let out laughs and groans, some clutching their chest, mocking the obvious disappointment on Iceman's face.
You grinned at him and shrugged "You never said what kind of kiss."
The man you learned was Slider came up and gripped Iceman's shoulders "Ouch. But you should have expected that."
A smile spread across Iceman's face as he looked down at you "Cute."
You smiled sweetly at him, feigning innocence, as his grin widened. Suddenly you felt an arm slip around your waist. Looking over, you saw your friend looking at you with a smile. "Sorry to interrupt, but -" they leaned in and whispered in your ear.
Your eyes found the nearest clock you saw it was nearly nine. You looked at your friend and they shrugged, their version of an apology for not getting you sooner "I didn't want to interrupt your game."
You looked at Iceman, who stared at the two of you in confusion. Part of you wanted to stay, but you knew you needed a good nights sleep. And, you wanted the finish what you started with Iceman before he learned the punchline too soon.
You reached out, straightening one of his uniform patches "Sorry Tom, looks like I gotta go, busy day tomorrow."
"Already?" He laughed, but you could see the disappointment in his face. Maybe he did really like you. You shrugged apologetically and he straightened up a bit "Will I see you again?"
You smiled "I can't see the future, but I have a feeling you will."
He frowned slightly, obviously missing your hint of who you were.
Stepping back you smiled, "See ya Tom."
You could feel his eyes on you as you and your friend left the bar. You thought for a moment as you glanced back and saw him watching you, that he would follow you. But as Slider grabbed his arm, you knew he wouldn't.
He wanted to follow you, get your number, your address, anything, but as Slider grabbed him, he looked away for a moment, only to look back and see you were gone.
"Dammit" He muttered as he quickly went after you, sliding between the groups of people that filled the bar. As he stepped outside, he saw your car driving away and cursed under his breath.
You'd come back to find him right? There was no way it was just him feeling what was between you. That electricity that sent chills up his spine. Something he had never felt before. He had to see you again.
"So, who was that? He was cute." Your friend asked as you drove off.
"Tom 'Iceman' Kazansky, a pilot at the base."
They frowned a bit "Did you not tell him who you were? He seemed like he was expecting to never see you again."
You smiled "I may have kept it a secret."
They let out a laugh "Oh, that's good. Cruel, but good."
You smiled to yourself throughout the night as you tried to imagine how he would respond when he learned who you really were. Would he find it as funny as you did? Or would he be annoyed?
You were also a bit afraid. You grew to like him throughout the night, and he seemed to like you too. But when you started to work together, would he pull away?
--- --- --- ---
Throughout the rest of the night, and next morning, you would not leave Tom's mind. He couldn't believe he didn't get your number, or even just your last name. He already planned to go back to the bar tonight, to see if you'd come back. He felt a tightness in his chest that he knew wouldn't go away until he saw you again.
As Slider nudged his arm, he looked up as the General entered, ready to debrief the group on an upcoming mission.
"Before we start, I'd like to introduce the newest member of the team, you probably know them as their call sign Apollo. Graduated top of their class in the Top Gun program, I expect you all to welcome them and make them feel at home."
Tom stared down at the pen he was twirling in his fingers, as the general spoke, not particularly interested in the newest addition to the team. But when there seemed to be a wave of motion through the pilots, and a chorus of whispering, followed by Slider hitting him in the arm, he looked up in confusion.
Following Sliders line of sight, he saw the newest pilot coming in. He felt his heart skip a beat as his breath got caught in his throat.
"Lieutenant Y/n L/n, Apollo, welcome."
You nodded at the General as you turned and looked at the group of pilots. You recognized most of them from the bar, and from their shocked faces, they recognized you. As your eyes ran through the crowd, they paused on a familiar face.
Tom stared up at you with a clear look of shock and confusion.
It felt like time stopped as he met yours eyes. And as a small smirk played at your lips he felt his heart palpitate. Sitting down in the front row, his eyes bored into the back of your head throughout the rest of the debriefing. He couldn't focus on anything else.
As he sat there, your conversations ran through his head again. The whole time, you knew what you were doing. When you met, he immediately assumed you weren't a pilot and you played along. When he remembered talking about Apollo he felt himself cringe.
Then he remembered what you said when he asked if he'd see you again "I can't see the future, but I have a feeling you will." You played him.
But he wasn't mad, he even felt a smile appear on his face as he stared at the back of your head. You did exactly what he would have done. He almost laughed, God, you were perfect.
When the debrief ended, you weren't surprised to turn around to see Tom walking straight up to you. He had small smile playing on his lips and you felt a wave of relief to see he wasn't angry.
He stopped right in front of you as his face went blank. "Y/n. Or, should I call you Apollo?"
You smiled "Either works."
Slowly, a smile spread across his face as he shook his head "You played me."
"I didn't play you, I just let you assume I was what you thought I was."
"Which was?"
"Well not a pilot obviously."
He let out a short laugh "Yeah, fair enough " He stared at you for a moment, his eyes darting around your face, and you felt those now familiar butterflies.
"So, Apollo. We gonna have a rivalry, or are we gonna be friends?" His voice slowed as he said 'friends' making you assume he was insinuating more.
You smiled slowly "I don't know Tom. You tell me."
--- --- --- ---
As you set down your now empty glass, you stood up, slapping Slider on the shoulder "I'm out." You said casually.
There was a chorus of 'boos' and complaints from your friends as you began to leave, but you just raised your hand in farewell. You had a long day, and sitting in the noisy, crowded bar was not how you wanted to spend the rest of it.
You had been at the base for over a month now, and it even started to feel like home. You got along with everyone, especially Tom. Nothing had formed between you since that first night you met, but you knew those feelings were lingering just under the surface.
Neither of you shied away from flirty comments, innuendos, or even physical touch. You were used to him slinging his arm around your shoulder, or even resting your head against him. You were friends, but something more was there, and it was obvious to both of you, and probably everyone else, but neither of you had truly acted on it.
Your eyes looked around, and landed on Tom. You thought of calling out to him, but you saw his intense gaze as he lined up a shot and decided no to bother. You would see him tomorrow, and just like every other day, you'd hope something would change.
Iceman grinned as he took his final winning shot in his game of pool. Looking over to where you had been, he felt a small tug at his heart when he saw you were gone. Looking around, he found you just in time to see you heading towards the doors. He felt a tight clench in his chest as he felt an urge to follow you.
He had been debating telling you how he felt ever since he met you, but since you started to work together, he knew it could be risky. But every day it felt worse holding it in. Every day he saw your smile, heard your laugh, he fell harder and harder. And every day he missed the chance to hold your hand, to kiss you, to hold you against him was a day of torture.
As the thought of you walking out of the bar the first night you met entered his mind, he remembered that regret he felt for having not chased after you faster. Before this thought was over, he was handing his pool cue to his friend and following after you.
Stepping out into the cool darkness, he saw you heading out of the parking lot. "Y/n!" He yelled, causing you to halt and turn around.
You watched as Tom came jogging up to you, and you felt your stomach knot.
As he stopped in front of you he smiled down at you "Let me walk you back, I hate the idea of you going alone."
You smiled, feeling warmth in your chest "I wont stop you."
Turning, you both began walking. As he walked in stride beside you, his arm brushed against yours, hands briefly touching. There was a minute of silence as you began walking down the road as both of you felt the rising tension.
Tom took a breath as he stopped walking, at the same time, he gently grabbed your arm. You stopped and turned back, seeing the intense look on his face.
"What is it?" You asked, voice almost wavering.
"I-I have something I need to tell you. Something that has been eating me up."
Frowning, you turned fully towards him, "What is it Tom?"
You shivered as he gently ran his fingers down your arm, until he hooked his hand around your own. He stared down at your hand, gently stroking it with his thumb.
Swallowing, he looked back up, meeting your eyes. He could see the concern in your gaze, and all he wanted to do was take your face in his hands and kiss you.
"I don't think it's a secret to either of us that there is something here. And that there has been since we met. But over the last month, I didn't act on it, when I should have. And every day I haven't has been torture to me. And honestly Y/n-" He let out a shaky breath as he took a small step closer, staring deep into your eyes. "I think I'm falling in love with you."
You felt your heart jump in your chest as your ears and face grew hot. How could someone so perfectly say what you had been wanting to?
A slow smile spread across your face "I think I'm okay with that."
Tom's nervous expression gave away to a bright smile, that was all you needed to say. He knew how you felt, and you knew how he felt. There was no secret about it, just one of you needed to break that silence.
Lifting his hands, he gently held your face as you stepped closer, your bodies gently touching.
His eyes darted to your lips before his smile turned into a smirk "Then how about I actually get that kiss you owe me?"
A soft giggle escaped, as you smiled coyly at him before your own eyes traced his lips. Slowly you both leaned in, locking eyes just as your lips touched. Your eyes then fluttered closed as Tom pulled your face closer as he deepened the kiss.
The deep didn't last long but it was electric, sending shivers through your body. Pulling away, you locked eyes and grinned, as he pressed his forehead against yours.
"Tell me Apollo, can you really see the future? Did you know I'd fall head over heels for you?"
You grinned happily up at him "I can't see the future, but I had a feeling you would."

If you want to be added to my Top Gun taglist let me know~
Please take a look at my humble attempt at Top Gun fanart. It's been well over a year since my last attempt to draw something but these sleepy boys made me try it again. Please be gentle with me.
“I am so, so sorry.” You begin apologizing to the man you just scared from behind. “I thought you were my brother because he was just standing there a second ago.” You continue to explain feeling so embarrassed.
‘Oh, this night could not get anymore embarrassing than this.’ You think feeling a blush start to form on your cheeks. Not wanting to annoy the handsome man in front of you, you just decided to stay quiet. All the man could do was laugh as the blush on your cheeks spread to your whole face.
All that can be heard around you is the yelling of sugar high children and their tired parents telling them to be quiet for like 10 seconds and to stand still so that they can buy them tickets for whatever carnival game they want to play.
“Again, I am so sorry about that. Now if you will excuse me while I go drown my sorrows in fried food.” You muttered, starting to walk away only to be stopped by the blond in front of you grabbing your arm.
“Wait I’ll go with…” but he was cut off by your someone pulling you away from the good looking man. “Go away mister Ice. You have nothing here to worry about.” Maverick said glaring at him. “Pete.” You whined out pulling his arm off your shoulder and stepping away.
“Come on you just moved out here. You can spend the time with your very, very lonely brother, can’t you? Please I love you so much you cannot just leave me here to fend for myself.” He continued to whine like the child he is.
“What it some kid attacks me with their food.” he said, pulling a disgusted face. “Or what if they scare me and I have no one there to protect me.” Pete chuckled out the last part. ‘And you want your little sister to protect you jackass.’ You mused.
“Shut up.” You mumbled punching him lightly in the arm. “Let me get to know your friends.” You continue to talk to your brother laughing quietly at the mention that Iceman is no friend of his.
“We have the whole week to spend together Mav, let me go buy the man I scared some yummy food to make up for it. You can come with us if you want to.” You said looking at your older brother. “Just don’t be embarrassing.” you all but begged the grinning man already knowing what he is planning to do.
“I so did not.” You exclaimed to your brother as he was busy telling Iceman about the crush you had on your English teacher in your last year of high school. “He was just super friendly to everyone, and he was a funny teacher.” You mumbled embarrassed knowing Maverick is correct but not wanting to admit it.
“Sound to me like a crush.” Tom joked along with Pete just to see the cute look on your crimson face. “Shut up. Both of you.” You mumbled looking down at your food. “And just for that you are going to buy me all my drinks tomorrow, Pete.” You grinned up at your now quiet brother whining out that he has not been paid yet. “Yeah, well that is what you get for humiliating me you ass face.” You cackled out.
“No, no this is not happening.” Maverick exclaimed after you and Tom just let him know that you have been dating for two months. “No that is my little sister you stay away from her.” Pete all but yelled as Iceman pulled you into his side.
“Mav.” You said pulling away from Tom to stand near your brother. “We have been going out for two months you really think if he were an ass, I would still be with him. He is the sweetest man I have ever met, and he treats me so well.” You said pulling the biggest smile to ease his worrying.
Hoping it works you continue. “I really like him Mavvy. You know if I didn’t, I would have kicked him to the curb already.” You grinned from ear to ear knowing the nickname will work its magic.
“Even though we have only known each other for two months I know that I want to be with your sister for the rest of my life Maverick. I really like her.” Tom said towards Pete but smiling at you after he finished.
Maverick, starting to calm down after seeing the loving look on both your faces turned to Iceman. “Fine… but just so you know if you ever hurt her or if she ever turns up on my doorstep crying, I will not hesitate to shoot you down Kazansky. This is your first and final warning.”
“Thanks Mav.” Tom mumbled as he pulled you and Pete into a hug. “Love you bro.” you whispered into his ear as Ice pulled away from the hug. “Yeah, yeah love you to Y/N/N.” hugging for a second longer you pulled away and turned to both men. “Okay now that, that is out of the way who is ready for breakfast.”

unfamiliar with your fandoms but the sunflower titled one sounds interesting 🌻
hi Bods!!!
Sunflowers and Sundresses is for Iceman, in his Top Gun Maverick era.
this one is all over the place and definitely still in drafting stage, however
to put this one simply, Great Gatsby vibes, the Navy pulling some event together for the 4th of July, all leading up to Ice meeting Pookie for the first time
it gives me warm fuzzy feelings - a summery happy jive that I so desperately crave in the winter - it’ll probably go into more of an active writing phase when I finish World in Color, since that series is what my creative brain is fixating on currently.
so i'm hella sick and all i can think about is how the top gun members would take care of you when you're sick (specifically Iceman)
How the Top Gun Members Would Take Care of You When You're Sick
Included: Iceman, Maverick, Rooster, Hangman, Bob
Summary: It’s in the title. :)
A/N: I hope you enjoy this! Feel better soon. <3
- Depending on how much time he has, Iceman will devote all his spare time to taking care of you while you’re sick
- If he’s busy, Ice will call you any time he finds a phone to make sure you’re okay.
- He’ll skip nights at the Hard Deck (causing Slider and the others to go looking for him) to make sure nothing happens to you in the time he would be gone.
- You want chicken noodle soup? Somehow he nearly burned down your kitchen trying to make it but, eventually, he’ll get it to you.
- He’s too arrogant to ask the people at the pharmacy what medicine you should take, so he just grabbed a ton and put the boxes on the bed beside you.
- Ice may get a little impatient wanting to go to the bar or see his friends but, even if you tell him he can go, he’ll stay by your side. You’ll just have to deal with his pouting.
- He’ll sleep over the nights you’re sick if you don’t live together. You’ll say he shouldn’t sleep in your bed but, unless you’re super sick, he’ll insist he’s right there next to you.
- Maverick’s way of making you feel better (unless you’re really sick) is taking you somewhere outside to relax.
- If you don’t have an open back porch/yard, he’ll drive you somewhere in your car and just sit with you in the fresh air.
- He’ll read to you or just lay beside you, handing you tissues or medicine when necessary.
- Maverick may not sleep in the same bed as you but he’ll definitely stay over at your house.
- In the morning he’ll make you tea and whatever you want before he has to leave.
- Hangman does not want to get sick. He loves you, but if he gets sick, he thinks his whole ego and world will fall apart.
- He’ll slide you food under your door with little notes saying that he loves you and small messages like that.
- He’ll talk to you through the door and call/FaceTime you as much as he can.
- Hangman won’t skip his nights at the Hard Deck but will send you plenty of “[insert pilot] says they hope you feel better” and “how are you holding up?” texts
- He will also tell you stories about what happened during his day when he gets back home.
- Hands down, Bob makes the best chicken noodle soup you can imagine. I’m not arguing about that. And he makes it in a giant pot so you have enough to get you through the whole week.
- Whatever you want him to do, Bob will do. You want him to read to you? Done. Want him to get specific medicine or food from the store? He already has it.
- Unlike some of the other guys, I don’t think Bob will cuddle with you or get super close to you while you’re sick. He hates germs but loves you more (but he does have boundaries).
- He’ll set out your comfiest clothes in the morning and do all your chores voluntarily.
- Bob will skip lessons to comfort you if you’re very sick, despite being yelled at when he gets back to base (Maverick understands, though, and doesn’t punish him that much).
- Rooster gives the best hugs, no doubt about it. So most of the time he’ll insist on cuddling with you while you’re sick.
- He’ll play soft songs on the piano to cheer you up and will stop as soon as you ask him to.
- Rooster will loan you his hoodies and over-sized clothes to wear so you’re not uncomfortable.
- Somehow he knows perfectly when to get you a new water or more food when you run out-- you don’t even have to ask him.
- Rooster will cuddle with you without thinking about the consequences (aka he almost always gets sick afterwards).
