Aw hell…. Face tried to school his face into impassivity as this strange man cheerfully identified him without, apparently, really knowing what he was doing. He could not completely fight the growing grimace though. If this was some new trick of Lynch or Decker, the con artist could not decide if it was completely asinine or secretly brilliant. He tried to scramble and regain something that resembled the high ground so he could make his escape. “I don’t know.” He turned away from the man, a bid to hide his suddenly-wildly recognizable features, and aimlessly started to pick over the apples again before slipping a few into a bag. “I have one of those faces—everyone thinks they know me from somewhere else. I was even mistaken for a New York Yankees player once.” The quip is a lie but one he is happy to own. It will convince this strange man that such comparisons are a cross he is forced to bear, and…well…he rather wished someone would mistake him for a professional baseball player once in a while instead of the felon that he actually was. He glanced around the produce department and lightly sucked in a breath. One woman, over by the carrots, was staring at him a little too intently. Ducking his head, he shoved a few more apples into the bag before tying it closed.

Gripping his cart, he tried to move past Goose. “As exciting as it is, being mistaken for one of the most wanted men in America, I really need to be going. My wife’s expecting me to bring the groceries home tonight since she has her hands full with the babies.”

Starter for @letsturnandburn: 

Rooster was not having it. This guy was getting on his last nerve how dare he stipulate to the fact that he wasn’t mission ready. He didn’t know his Dad, he didn’t know anything about him. Just cocky, arogant and good looking, that’s all he had going for him. He spit the water out that he was drinking. “Good looking?” He was lucky he was alone but man he was not expecting to have that emotion. For anyone be it guys, girls. He was not into the whole dating scene. Call it baggage or trauma he thought it wasn’t fair to put anyone through it. But Hangman? Uh, This was going to be akward. 

Sure enough the next day, he saw Hangman smiling away like nothing had happened. Enraged he walked up to him stomping his boots with purpose. “You and me, gotta talk before the next exercise.” He pulled him away to the side. “You don’t talk about my Dad, ever again, you got that? You can say whatever shit you like about me, I am mission ready but you don’t presume to know shit about what happened until I tell you, cause hell, it frankly ain’t your fuckin business. We clear pretty boy?”

Flyboy - Cheryl/Goose

( @letsturnandburn - continued from here ):

He let his wide smile shrink down a bit, yet still keeping a gleam in his eyes. Goose was, in fact, enjoying her company. He found her every bit of endearing. “That’s fair. It’s better to go it at your own pace, if you ever wanted to.  But, two, it’s not for everyone and that’s fine.”

Goose tried his best to be discreet as her arm brushed against his. And yet, he could feel his cheeks flush. He nudged it to the back of his mind.” You wouldn’t believe how it crushes their egos.” Goose smiled at the sound of her laughter.” It’s all a competition of testosterone and aerial victories.”

She saw the blush on his cheeks, which made her blush as well.  Maybe she’d finally met a good guy.  It would be nice, especially after the nasty breakup she’d just had.  

“I never understood why men had such competitive spirits,” she pointed out with a laugh.  “Why is everything a contest?  Why can’t everyone support each other?  I know, that’s a very ‘woman’ thing to say, but it’s true.”  She waved the bartender over to refill her glass.  “You want another drink, Goose?”

@letsturnandburn

Natasha and Rooster had been friends for some time, though she knew immediately when she saw him in her TOPGUN class that she felt some sort of way about him. It wasn’t until the uranium mission did she realize that she actually had feelings for him. Unfortunately for the life of her she didn’t know how to approach the subject. but she figured that when she had been invited over to the Bradshaw house that she might be able to approach the subject, or at least ask his dad if he knew how Rooster felt about her. Pulling her jeep into the driveway she quickly saw and noticed that Goose was outside but couldn’t find Bradley nearby. “Well Mr. Bradshaw I see where Rooster gets his looks and style from, you two look related for sure.” She commented as she greeted him before giving him a smile.

❝ i’ve never been on a roller coaster before. ❞  (From Zack/ letsturnandburn)

Vacation Starters

@letsturnandburn

Sadie turned to Zack with a look of surprise on her face.  “Never?” she asked.  “You’ve made it to adulthood without going on a single roller coaster?  Well, that’s it!  We’re going to ride one right now.  If you hate it, you don’t have to ride one ever again.  But you need to ride at least one.”

She started pulling Zack towards the closest roller coaster in the park, an old wooden type that looked like it was mostly about going fast and having large drops than going upside-down or making any crazy turns.  It might be a good starter roller coaster.

it’s not often that tom takes any time to just relax, but sometimes, like tonight, he is. it’s not yet time for lights out, but the sun has set and he finds himself leaning on the railing of the deck, looking up at the stars. there’s no light to take away from the way they shine like carefully placed diamonds on black velvet out here on the ocean, and it never fails to take his breath away.

always aware of his surroundings, he hears footsteps approaching, but he doesn’t turn around. it doesn’t sound like slider’s heavy steps--the only one who know he’s out here, though--so he tears his eyes from the sky and glances over to see goose approaching.

“hey, mother goose,” he smiles, the nickname becoming more of a term of endearment since they’ve been assigned to this ship together.

@letsturnandburn​ wants iceman to harass goose 😂

he spotted goose alone at the bar, eyes searching for the shorter man who seemed to be attached at the hip. when he didn’t see maverick anywhere, he approached, motioning for the bartender for a drink.

“flying solo tonight, mother goose?” he grinned, glancing over at the other man.
