(after Hangman has a bad accident while flying)
Rooster:âŚI canât go through what my mom went through. Honestly, I donât even know how she got up in the morning, after my dad died.
(Hangman says nothing, just stares at him)
Rooster(emotional):Whatâre we doing?!âŚI mean, youâre everything for me. And I HATE feeling like this - because youâre my world.
(Hangman walks closer to him, hugs him and kisses him)
Hangman:Youâre mineâŚyouâre my world.
the ability to say "i dont have a tiktok" in social situations makes me feel so powerful. like the general reaction is "shock, confusion, then this weird 'thats probably a good thing' response" its so fun
I firmly believe that Bradley has a praise kink, especially when he bottoms. My man has literally spent his entire life searching for validation, you canât convince me that heâs not a sucker for being told how good heâs doing in bed. All Jake has to say is âgood boyâ in his bedroom voice, and Bradley is putty in his hands.
Yup, still on my "what if movie was a Top Gun AU" brainrot, anyway...
Rooster, barging into the Hard Deck: Nat! Thank god, where is everybody? I need to talk to Bob, or Payback, or Fanboy, Coyote, anyone. I need their help!
Phoenix: Jesus Rooster, they're not here yet. What are you even doing here, weren't you visiting Admiral Kazansky for the first time since you cut him off?
Rooster: I was, he's so frail Nat, I'll always hate myself for not going sooner. But we were talking, I told him I was gay too, and he wanted to know if I had someone. He looked so hopeful, I couldn't deny him after what I did! And now he wants to meet him, so I need a fiancĂŠe quick, but none of the guys are here!
Phoenix: Well, I never said none of the guys are here...
Hangman: Alright Phoenix, here you are, fresh from the tap... Bradshaw? I thought you weren't coming, why'd you have to go and spoil a good evening like that?
Rooster: ...The worst part is I can't even pretend I don't deserve this.
(Jake agrees to do it after Bradley pulls a "I know we hate each other now, but we used to mean something to each other and if any of that was real, you'll do this for me." Mav is there when they get back, he knows it's a lie but goes with it because Ice is so happy. When Ice miraculously begins to recover, Mav is the one who forces them to keep up the ruse. He was reconciled to losing his husband and now he has him back, and he's not going to let them endanger that by upsetting him.)
