"just say it already, man," slider sighed, shaking his head.
"i’m not saying that" said an stubborn iceman.
"c'mon iceman i know you can do it" maverick was smug, smirking at the blonde man in front of him.
they were currently at a bar, drinking to celebrate the success of yet another mission. while everyone else was busy drinking and having fun, ice and mav were too busy making bets on who would win the dart game they were playing, and after what felt like 50 rounds, mav came out as the winner just by 15 points.
iceman is not always this much of a bad loser, but losing to maverick annoyed him to no end. and on top of that, he was now taunting him, demanding he now has to announce to the other pilots that mav is the best one between the two.
it’s been at least fifteen minutes since the game came to an end, and now they’ve made it everyone’s problem, with iceman being stubborn and refusing to accept that he lost, and maverick being full of smirks and acting like he's the best.
they were flirting, obviously so.
"just get it over with man," sighed goose, annoyed at the two men trying to hide their feelings for each other (and failing).
ice looked around him, seeing everyone looking done with the two, and then stared back at mav.
"FINE, fine.. maverick, you are.. ugh, do i really have to do this here in front of everyone?" he looked at mav, defeated.
mav chuckled, "uh yes you do tom"
using ice’s real name was a low move, and also the final push he needed
"ugh.. maverick, you are the best pilot between the two of us, there, happy now?"
"FUCKING FINALLY", the crew erupted in happy cheers and laughs
they locked eyes, and mav smiled, looking happier than ever.
"yeah, i’m okay with that, ice"

Part Four:
Pulchritudo vitae
He had waited in the hospital for two nights in a row. Sleep was the very last of his worries, all he wanted... no, all he NEEDED was to see her one more time.
He was praying to every higher power he could think of, impatiently tapping his foot up and down, so rapidly he couldn't even feel his body from the waist down anymore.
Finally, medics opened the door to the Emergency Room. His eyes lit up with hope,
however,
that spark immediately faded, as the doctor approached him, looked down at his seat and shook his head:
"There's nothing more we can do. You may speak to her one last time, she doesn't have much left. I'm sorry."
Ades stood up from his seat and looked back at the doc in utter disgust. Before closing the door behind him he heard;
"...we did all we could."
entering the room and taking off his mask, he was eerily greeted by the heart-shattering noise of a heart monitor and a respirator. There was a chair right next to her bed, to its left, under the monitor; he took a seat.
staring at her delicate face was like plunging a crystal dagger deep into his heart: she looked so calm and oblivious.
He took her right hand in his, rubbing circles on its back, letting her know he's there for her right up until the very end.
she lightly opened her eyes and turned her head torwards him, smiling sweetly.
"Ades..."
"yes..?"
"...I'm sorry I made you..--"
"shh.... please, don't. I told you I'd always be there for you, remember..?" his voice was breathy, almost as if he whined instead of speaking.
"one thing..."
"yes..?"
"..when they bury me... I want to sleep under the maple tree.." she politely requested
"...sure.." he smiled softly; even in her final hours she was still the Dulciana he knew.
"....and... take my ring.... I want you to have it... so I can be with you at all times.."
he nodded, still holding her hand tightly.
"so.. could you... promise me.. one more thing..?"
"..anything for you, flower bud."
"...Will you take care of and love yourself just like how you did for me..?"
she gazed into his eyes.
"....I will... I will, Dulciana...."
"that's more like it, hehe..."
Ades was about to say something, but he was alerted by the sudden change of rhythm coming from her heart monitor. It went fast, then too fast, then it slowed down once again...
...but it wouldn't stop slowing down.
"remember I'll always love you dearly..."
"!!--"
she moved her hand over to his cheek, he held it up with his:
"....goodnight, Pleiades..."
and then,
silence.
he looked up at the monitor in terror, his eyes wider than ever.
a flatline, and then, a black screen.
he looked down, her eyes were still open, but her skin was otherworldly pale, almost greenish.
she was gone.
Pleiades raised his head, now using both his hands to hold up the one she once used to fondle his cheek, as he looked down in horror, feeling endless tears form in his eyes, and, eventually, he gave in.
he buried his face in her stomach, covered by the sheets,
the only sound that came from that room were now sonorous gasps, quiet sobs, whimpers.
