Iceman: There's no way he likes me back.
Slider: Maverick would throw himself in front of a moving car for you.
Iceman: Maverick would throw himself in front of a moving car for fun.
*car screeching to a stop outside*
Iceman: What the fuck?
Maverick: *standing in front of a car driven by Hollywood*
Hollywood: Do you have a fucking death wish Mitchell?
Iceman: See what I mean?
Goose: Just because he's a dumbass doesn't make Slider's point any less valid.

Maverick(drunk): You gotta be careful with lies, man. It gets you in trouble. Let me tell you a story, Wolfman...
Wolfman: I'm always happy for Maverick Storytime.
Maverick: It's about a little boy named Pinocchio. He was a little wooden puppet, who came to life cuz he was possessed by a demon. And he would go out, and he would lie to everyone, cuz of the Devil. And then these older villagers, they put him on a bonfire and they burnt his soul to ash. And that's how you learn - you never trust a puppet!
Iceman:........You fuckin' idiot.
Slider: Do another one! Another one!
Hollywood: I wanna hear Mav's version of the Bible!
Maverick: IN THE BEGINNING -
Iceman: - NO!

i would write more icemav, but it's finals week, so here are some headcanons:
ice gives the best hugs. slider basically taught him how to hug, and since slider is the resident teddy bear, ice is a master
mav definitely doesn't mind this after he accepts that he's touchstarved
chipper, hollywood, wolfman, and merlin specifically make sure that mav eats vegetables when ice and slider are away
speaking of food, ice's slavic background (specifically russian and polish) is often very helpful when showing pete his past. He sticks to kosher (he's jewish), and shows mav pierogi.
Mav absolutely loves home cooked meals. He got taste of all sorts of cultures and religion while in the system, and there were a few recipes he took with him, but there isn't anyone to teach him to cook.
ice and mav take bradley on outings all the time. the zoo, the park, carnivals and cinemas. Carole loves that they spend time with him, and she loves that it gives her time to still have friends and time to herself.
tom gives forehead, hand, and nose kisses. Pete gives cheek, shoulder, and chest kisses.
they started out as angry hookups to "blow off steam", but they very quickly realized that they were a lot more complicated than that. it took them way too long to confess, but they grew softer and sweeter much sooner than their peers had expected
that's all i got tonight, folks, but i hope you enjoyed it. if you have any headcanons to share/expand on, feel free to send an ask or dm me!

It's Flu Season! And because Maverick would be the biggest baby if he got sick...
(Penny, Wolfman, Slider, Merlin, and Hollywood run though the front door of Iceman and Maverick house, with Iceman tiredly sitting on the couch in the living room)
Wolfman: Ice?! what's wrong?! We all got your message that you needed help!
Iceman: It's awful! The whole house is sick! First Hangman came down with the flu, then Phoenix, then Rooster, then Payback, and then all the rest of the Dagger Squad! I was running a sick ward all weekend!
Merlin:...wait, why isn't Maverick helping you?
Iceman (flatly): Because then came Monday...
(Maverick comes out in his bathrobe, hair tousled, pale, clammy, and half-asleep and in his hands a bottle of pills)
Maverick (whining): Ice, honey? Can you open the aspirin for me?
---
(The whole 80s Top Gun team and Penny stay to help Iceman run the house and take care of Maverick and the Dagger Squad)
(Maverick is in bed, weakly ringing a bell)
Maverick (ringing the bell): Slider...
Slider (in the next room helping Coyote): Give me a minute.
Maverick (ringing the bell): Slider...
Slider (in the next room): I said I'm coming!
Maverick (ringing the bell): Slider...
(Slider rushes into Maverick's bedroom in a panic): What?! What?! What?!
Maverick (weakly): My pillow needs poofing.
Slider (eye twitching):...Mitchell, I don't think you want to put a pillow in my hands right now.
---
(Maverick is in bed, whining and gasping for breath)
Maverick (weakly): I'm dying, Hollywood. I'm giving up the ghost. Every cell in my being is crying out in anguish. It was a good life while it lasted, but this is it. Hello, Grim Reaper.
Hollywood (with a bottle of cough syrup and a spoon in his hands): Cut the bullshit. The medicine doesn't taste that bad.
Maverick (weakly):...Goose? Dad? Carol? Is that you?
---
(Maverick is in his bathrobe, still sick, and in Iceman's home office while Iceman is frantically typing away on his keyboard)
Maverick: Ice, sweetie? Can you heat up some chicken soup for me?
Iceman (stressed): Mav, sorry but I'm really busy right now! I need to approve this contract in twenty minutes! Can't you just fend for yourself?
Maverick (whining): But I'm sick, honey...
Iceman: Mav, for fuck's sake, we're not talking brain surgery! All you have to do is open a stupid can and dump it in a pot!
(Maverick disappears into the kitchen and then come back a minute later. In his hands is a pot, and in the pot is a can of chicken soup. The can is open but the contents of the soup are still inside the can)
Maverick: Now what?
Iceman:...now, we talk brain surgery.
---
(Maverick stumbles in the kitchen where Penny, Wolfman, and Merlin are making soup and orange juice for all the Dagger Squad)
Maverick: Is it time for my aspirin yet?
Wolfman: No, Mitchell.
Maverick: But my throat hurts...
Merlin: Maverick, go back to bed. It hasn't been four hours yet.
Maverick: But my head hurts! My joints hurt! My eyes hurt! My body hurts! (in a baby voice) My itty bitty widdle pinkies hurt!
(Penny sighs and opens the aspirin bottle)
Maverick (smirks): I knew I'd win with that one.
Penny: These aren't for you.
(Penny gives two pills to herself, Merlin, and Wolfman and they all gulp them down immediately)
---
(BONUS)
(Cyclone is back at headquarters in his office, feet on his desk with a small glass of bourbon)
Cyclone (smiling): What a peaceful, quiet day.
