About Damn Time

Plot: Rooster is head over heels for Y/n, Y/n has feelings for Rooster, but is oblivious to his, and Phoenix is tired of it.

Prompt: "Did you just tell the person I was gonna go out with that we're dating?" Requested By: @witchygagirl

Pairing: Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw x GN!Reader *Readers call sign is Shade

Warnings: Mild cursing. Mentions of "drinks" but it's never specifically stated as alcohol.

Words: 2.5k

Phoenix was barely listening to what was being said as she looked over your shoulder towards the pool table. As you laughed at something Penny said when she dropped off your drinks, she saw Roosters eyes shoot over, landing on you. His lips quirked up as he watched you for a minute, before slowly taring his eyes away.

Phoenix rolled her eyes softly as she looked back at you. "Hey, Rooster's been giving you eyes for the whole night, why don't you go talk to him."

You looked over at Rooster before smiling softly and shaking your head with a soft scoff "Yeah, right."

"No, I'm serious Shade, I've never seen someone stare so much. And I know you like him, what's the harm?"

"The harm? What if you misinterpreted it, and he doesn't like me and I humiliate myself? You know Rooster, he is not shy, he is forward, if he had a thing for me he would have told me by now."

She let out a sigh as she watched you play with your straw as you glanced over at Rooster.

'Come on Rooster, look over here.' Phoenix thought desperately. If you two caught eyes in this moment maybe something would click.

When you looked back to your drink, and Rooster didn't look back, Phoenix lowered her head in disappointment. You had every right to be cautious, but damn was she getting tired of you two not sharing how you felt, when you clearly felt the same way about each other.

Looking around the bar, Phoenix's eyes caught on another man, someone she didn't not recognize, who's eyes seemed to be locked on you. Phoenix glanced back over at Rooster as an idea formed in her head. Maybe it's time someone push the pieces around a bit.

"Well, if you are so convinced Rooster isn't interested, then why aren't you in a relationship?"

You eyed her "You know it's not that easy Phoenix."

"Well, maybe if you looked around a bit more, you'd see that tall drink of water undressing you with his eyes."

She almost laughed when she saw your whole body seize up, you side-eyed her "Oh God, where?"

Nudging her head towards the guy, you nonchalantly looked over your shoulder to see a man watching you from the bar. You turned back around and shrugged a little "He's pretty handsome."

"Yeah, and clearly interested, so why don't you go say hello."

You met her gaze and she smiled bigger. You let out a soft laugh "You are such an instigator!"

"No, I'm a damn good wing woman."

"Well you clearly overestimate my confidence in going up to strangers."

Phoenix looked down at her drink before finishing it off "Uh-oh, looks like I could use another drink." She looked over at the bar with clear exaggeration "Damn, looks like Penny's busy, maybe someone should go get me another drink."

You shook your head softly with a smile "But I'm not done with mine yet."

Grabbing your drink, she poured the rest into her own glass "You are now."

You stared at her with an agape stare as you let out an incredulous laugh "You are ridiculous."

She grinned, and you looked over at the bar, seeing that Penny was too busy to see the two of you. You let out a sigh "Fine, but if this goes wrong, it's your fault."

As you began to slowly weave your way through the crowd and toward the bar, Phoenix slid from her seat and made her way toward the pool tables.

As Phoenix leaned against the table beside Rooster, he glanced over at her before looking past her, clearly for you. "Where'd Y/n get off too?"

She repressed a smile "Oh, just getting some more drinks. But-" she looked over towards the bar "They might get delayed."

Rooster frowned a bit as he followed Phoenix's line of sight. As soon as his eyes fell to you, and the guy sitting beside you, Rooster felt his chest clench. You were smiling, clearly enjoying the mans company as he talked to you. When you chuckled at something he said Rooster felt a surge of jealousy.

"Wow. If looks could kill." Phoenix muttered.

Rooster looked down at her and then back towards the pool tables "What does that mean?"

"It means you're jealous. What's the point in denying it to me Rooster? I see the way you look at Shade."

"Yeah? How do I look at 'em?"

"Like they're a rainbow in a cloudy sky."

Rooster almost laughed "I never knew you to be so poetic."

She smiled and shook her head "Just admit it Rooster, you are head over heels for them, but you are too afraid to do anything about it."

"I'm not afraid."

Then why haven't you done anything yet?"

Rooster looked back towards you and let out a sigh "Because why would they have me when they could have him?"

Phoenix rolled her eyes "Because Shade doesn't want him, they want you. They have for a long time, but both of you are too blind to see each others obvious feelings."

Rooster seemed to think over what she said before he spoke uncertainly "Y/n likes me?"

Phoenix nodded her head in an exaggerated way "Yes, a lot. And it's now or never, because if you don't do anything, you might lose the chance forever."

--- ---

As Penny set down your drinks in front of you, you glanced over at the man you had been talking too. He was clearly interested in you, and was not afraid to show it.

You kept the conversation casual, but he flirted nonstop, and you had to admit, it was a bit much. He was laying in on a bit thick, and you weren't sure you wanted this conversation to go any further.

"So, what do you say we get out of here and go somewhere more private?"

You felt your heart jump a bit. "More private like what?" You challenged, and could tell he spotted you retreating.

"Maybe go get a nice dinner, get out of this place, it's too loud, too crowded."

'Nice save' you thought as you smiled. "I'll tell you what, let me go take these drinks back over to my friend and I'll think it over."

He nodded with a grin, clearly expecting you to come back. You grabbed Phoenix's drink and made your way back to your table.

As you approached, you saw Phoenix grinning at you expectantly. "So, how'd it go? I saw a lot of smiles."

You shrugged a bit "He's a bit intense. And, he just asked me if I wanted to get out of here." You saw mild shock cross her face "To a nice restaurant to be more alone." You added on, but it was clear in your tone, you did not believe that was his intention.

"What are you gonna do?"

"Honestly, probably say no, he's not my type, not really."

Phoenix hummed "Could be a nice way to make Rooster jealous." Her eyes passed over your shoulder again as she saw Rooster sit beside the buy, appearing to order a drink, but she knew better.

You rolled our eyes softly "Yeah right, I'm sure he cares."

"Well he seemed pretty jealous when he saw you getting chatted up."

You looked over at her with clear interest "He did?"

She smiled a bit and nodded her head towards the bar again "Clearly."

You looked back over towards the bar and felt your heart jump as you saw Rooster talking to the guy, a forced smile on his face you recognized as him hiding clear annoyance. What was he doing?

---

As Rooster came and sat next to the man, he spared no time as he looked over at him and nodded his head in greeting "Hey man."

The man nodded his head in return, clearly uninterested in talking.

"I don't mean to impose, or assume, but I saw you talking to my partner, and just wanted to warn you off. Before things got out of hand."

The man stared at him for a moment "Your partner?"

Rooster nodded once and the man smiled "Didn't seem like they were taken, in fact I thought they were about to come say yes to going out to dinner with me."

Rooster looked around with mild exaggeration "Where are they then?"

The man frowned a bit and Rooster smiled "No hard feelings man, but they're a bit shy in these kinds of situations, probably just wanted to avoid an awkward conversation. I don't think they'll be coming back, and I don't think you should either."

The man was about to retaliate before he thought better of it. Tapping the bar top with his card to close out his tab, he looked back over at Rooster "You might want to tighten their leash if you're worried about someone like me."

Roosters face dropped as he stared hard at the man "Careful how you talk about them."

The man clearly regretted his comment before he quickly took his card back from Penny and began to leave. As he waded through a group of people, you almost collided with him.

He looked down at you and gave you a smile, close to a sneer "At least your boyfriend didn't leave me waiting around for you to come back."

You watched him in confusion as he brushed past you and left the bar. Looking back towards the bar, you saw Rooster quickly look away, as if attempting to act normal.

Your heart was pounding, and your face was hot as you made your way towards the bar. Sitting in the seat beside Rooster, you cleared your throat.

He looked down at you and feigned surprise as he grinned "Y/n, how are you?"

You rose one brow as you stared at him "Oh I'm just dandy. Hey, quick question, did you just tell the person I was gonna go out with that we're dating?"

Rooster rose his brow as if in confusion, you mocked the look, and he failed to hold back a grin. "I thought I was doing you a favor."

"Oh yeah, what favor was that?"

"Getting you out of a date with that douche bag."

"You know him?"

"Well, no, but he seemed like a asshole."

"I think that's up to me to decide, don't you? Beside's since when do you care who I date?"

Rooster looked down at his hands and then over at you, his gaze more serious now "I care since it's not me you're dating."

You felt your ears begin to burn as your stomach filled with butterflies. "What does that mean?" You asked, your voice softer.

A faint smile crossed his face for a moment "I guess Phoenix was right huh? You never noticed how I felt?" He let out a soft scoff "Jesus Y/n I'm crazy about you."

You were afraid your surprise and sudden flustered emotions were obvious as you stared at him for a moment. Looking down at your hands you cleared your throat a bit before you looked back up at him.

He smiled softly as he watched you, you had clearly gotten flustered and overwhelmed over his sudden admission. He thought it was adorable.

"I thought if you actually felt something for me you'd tell me earlier." You admitted.

His smile faded a bit "Yeah, I guess I'm usually pretty forward huh?"

You nodded softly, and he turned a bit more toward you, he moved his hand across the bar, so it was pressed against yours. You watched as he gently brushed his fingers over yours.

You met his eyes and he smiled softly "I was afraid I might scare you off if I was too forward." He leaned in a little closer, and spoke softly, so only you could hear him "But I always wanted to be around you, I even seek you out sometimes. I didn't lose my sunglasses in the hangar the other day, I just wanted to come see you 'cause I knew you were in there. We didn't get paired together for the exercises by chance, I requested we get partnered." He could see realization coming over you as your smile slowly grew. "I adore you Y/n."

Looking down as your feet out of sudden shyness, you shook your head "I should have paid more attention, but I was always trying to act normal around you." You looked up and met his eyes "I always felt nervous around you because of how I felt."

His smile grew as he squeezed your hand lightly "Are you nervous now?"

You shook your head as you let out a soft giggle "That's not the right word for what I'm feeling, no."

"What would be a better word?"

You met his eye as you thought for a moment. You shrugged a little "Happy? Surprised? Excited?" You chucked.

His grin grew "Then we're on the same page, finally."

"Finally." You repeated "I guess I should apologize to Phoenix for never believing her either. I always thought she was just trying to play match maker because she was tired of seeing me ogle over you."

He let out a laugh "You ogled over me?"

"Her words not mine." You defended with a laugh.

"That's okay, I don't mind being ogled at. I know I ogled over you my fair share."

"Okay, that might be too forward." You joked.

"Sorry, sorry."

Noticing that his hand was now fully wrapped in yours, you felt more butterflies. Meeting his eyes again, you now finally saw the look that Phoenix always said he had when he looked at you. You felt stupid for never paying more attention, for never believing her, but at least now you knew, at least now you could cherish being seen the same way you see him.

Rooster cleared his throat a little "So, you weren't, really, going to go out with that guy were you?"

You let out a soft chuckle as you shook your head "No, I wasn't."

He nodded and let out a breath "Good, good. Because he was definitely an asshole."

You lowered your head in defeat as you laughed, shaking your head. You let out a sigh "Yeah, he probably was."

Rooster grinned at you "I could show you a better time than he could anyways."

You rose one brow "Yeah? Prove it."

His grin widened as he suddenly stood, letting go of your hand, but reaching out for you to take it again "Challenge accepted."

Placing your hand in his again, he began to lead you out of the bar. You felt excitement course through you as you wondered what you just got yourself into. Rooster's idea of a date could be anything from mini-golf to sky diving. But you didn't really care, because it was him, finally.

Phoenix grinned to herself as she watched you and Rooster leave hand in hand, grins on your faces.

"Its about damn time."

[I choose to believe the Ice went back with Mav and they taught at Top Gun together after the Layton mission]

Maverick: Hello, welcome to your first lesson at Top Gun.

Maverick: Today we will be talking about... uh...

Iceman, whispering: Building loyalty.

Maverick: Killing royalty.

#poor mav #there's a reason he didn't last long as an instructor back then #it's because the class failed after not paying any attention to their lessons #they were too busy being entertained by icemav bickering #iceman's eyerolls became legendary #the class were too busy watching mav say dumb shit to antagonise ice to take notes #watch as iceman runs through the five stages of grief after mav says something stupid-#and ice realises with horror that he still wants him #mav is both oblivious as fuck and desperate for ice to notice him #they're both hopelessly pining for one another #while slider throws peanuts at them and heckles from the sidelines #incorrect quotes #top gun #icemav #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky

Is Ice just as oblivious when men are hitting on him? I know you had him clueless and unaware he was on a dinner date with his female classmate but I wonder if there are some guys that clock him as gay and then flirt with him.

generally clueless (as in, simply not devoted to paying attention anymore) but not stupid. obviously if you beat someone over the head when you come on to them they’ll figure it out eventually. he might even figure it out quicker with guys because it’s more “out of the ordinary” so to speak

im imagining for instance him and maverick going out to a bar in the early/mid 90s and maverick is off putting the moves on someone else (because he’s maverick but also perhaps to make ice jealous [like a 25% success rate]) and ice gets clocked and hit on by the guy next to him… and his reaction is like 50% “not interested 😒🤨” and 50% “not interested 😌💅” his needs are already being met no WAY this guy could compare to mav 😋

#hes not horribly homophobic he’s just a navy officer in love with his bff #mav has all his boxes ticked ✅✅✅#stick to what you know!#mav is a known quantity #pete maverick mitchell #icemav #tom iceman kazansky #he’s clueless bc he’s whipped. why would he be looking for signals from other people? hes just not thinking about it :)#then of course when they break up uh oh that was a bad strategy now i don’t remember how to date #brain sauce replaced by loving maverick juice… cannot compute external propositions or approaches #the above does succeed at making maverick wildly and sullenly jealous tho i would feel like #’who was that guy’ ‘some guy idk’ ‘oh.’ Tom cruise pout & sulk. ice is willfully oblivious.

I do not understand how these two can do literally NOTHING and. I go insane.

How is this fair.

I have not seen the first images on here before, so consider yourselves fed with Mav posing

#ms tg #icemav #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #top gun #top gun 1986 #tom cruise #val kilmer #i love them your honour #headcanon: ice sees maverick doing thAt pose and he just. walks into a door since he’s so distracted by the beauty that is pete mitchell #slider has to pick him up from the heap he’s in and put him on his feet again #maverick notices and is confused at ‘why did Ice walk into that door?’#.. absolutely oblivious to the fact that he looks like that

Iceman is the ultimate wingman both in the air and on the ground. Whether it’s hitting up the bars on port call during a deployment or back on base, he’s the one they want to help pick up chicks. He’s got a success rate that rivals his carrier landing grade, he can help even the most hopeless aviator laid.

It’s a great gig for a closeted gay man, his chill, no-nosense charm and charisma with the ladies provides a great cover, making his squadron mates none the wiser to where his true desires lay.

#iceman has rizz with the ladies but uses it for the greater good of his squadron #and his own personal gain #I’m sure they pay him back with snacks and shit #he tries to use those same things on maverick but the man is totally oblivious #if only he had that kind of rizz with Maverick #iceman is gay #top gun #tom iceman kazansky #tom kazansky #iceman #top gun iceman #top gun: maverick #top gun maverick #icemav #just a little thing i wrote

Prompt: Resolutions from @roosmavprompts

Title: I promise you this

Author: altered60

Rating: E

Tags: Alternate universe - canon divergence, friends to lovers, wooing, mutual pining, oblivious idiots, well one in particular, and I mean oblivious, idiots in love, misunderstandings, not actually unrequited love, getting together, Bradley is a true romantic, Bradley has it bad, explicit sexual content, Bradley makes an A+ boyfriend, slow burn, because of aforementioned oblivious idiot, bottom Maverick, top Bradley, communication might be good, E rating for last chapter

Word Count: TBC (but over 8k so far)

Chapter: 1/3

Summary: When Bradley tells Maverick that his new year's resolution is to spend the next year wooing the person he loves, his regret is instant. He’d left his confession too late, Bradley had moved on, fallen in love and all Maverick could do was watch from the sidelines and hope the person Bradley was spending his time on was worthy and that he wouldn’t forget about him.

Maverick shouldn’t have worried. If anything, Bradley spent more time with him, ensuring to strengthen their friendship, showering him with time and gifts, enough so that Maverick joked he was the one being wooed.

Cue: twelve months worth of dates, one extremely oblivious pilot, one idiot with good intentions and a love that even the man on the moon could see.

~*~*~

This one got away from me, so I'm splitting it up into chapters - if this sounds like your kind of fic, click here

Neither Hangman nor Rooster have any idea how come none of their friends know they're married, and have been for years. Sure, they're not the most affectionate in public, but they're smitten with each other, and to be honest, they went at it in way too many public spaces not to be caught.

Apparently, their friends and Captain are just not that bright, which turns very interesting when Rooster becomes obsessed with getting Mavering and Iceman together. Meanwhile Hangman wants to see just how long they can keep their marriage a secret

or secret relationship hangster but their friends are just idiots + icemav getting together + a lot of fluff

So, inspired by this post (which is not mine, and if OP doesn't want me to take it as inspiration it's alright) and my inability not to wrote angst... Here's a bit of what I scribbled over lunch!

Feat. Cougar and Slider still being close from academy days, and Goose trying to spare him a heartbreak.

Not feat. Merlin, but he'll be there too. And an absolutely oblivious Ice. Like... Man, really? He can't stop staring and you spend years not noticing? Ugh!!!

[...]

Maybe winning Top Gun could do the trick.

Yeah. Yeah, it could.

"hey, Coug. How you doing?"

"I'm good. Fuck, sorry... That migs truly messed up our lifelong plans, mh?"

"can't blame you. How's your baby boy?" Cougar laughed on the line.

"keeping me awake at night. worse than you."

"hey! I never--"

"Sli. My dear, good Sli. How many times I threatened to dump your restless ass out of the room?"

"you guys would've never." slider pout over the phone, he knew his tone would reflect it, and he knew Cougar was still not immune. The man laughed again.

"no, because you would make us feel guilty forever with that puppy face. Enough about that. Tell me." he lowered his voice to a more conspiring tone. "you gonna do it? You can't have done already, we would know."

Slider hesitated.

"when we win..." he settled in the end. Cougar let out a soft whistle.

"when you win. Not if. When. Sli, you start acting like your pretty boy too."

Yeah, he was. Except Ice wasn't his.

And he never would.

"keep me posted on your training, yeah? I know, I know, I'm out and I chose it, but you're still one of my closest friends. You're my baby brother. So you'll have to tell me everything."

Slider hummed in agreement and the phone call finished with him not telling everything. Actually, with him lying.

[...]

"you were friends. He can't be that terrible." Mav said.

"he is. Let me tell you, it's gonna end up in tears and heartbreak. I'd hate to see that."

But whose, he wondered. And yet he knew. And he hated it much more than he ever claimed he would.

"what are you trying to do, Goose?"

Slider asked, his voice so different now, hardened, where was the softness?

"me? Nothing. Why do you think--"

"telling your short pilot that Ice is not good enough for him. What the fuck?! Ice is more than enough."

Goose frowned, he swallowed, looked back at him.

"I was--"

"are you trying to hurt Tom? Because that's what's gonna happen. Fuck. He can't stop talking about him. The way he laughs, the smile, the way his eyes shines and--"

"reminds me of someone..." goose found himself whisper and Slider chuckled. He sounded vaguely wet.

"your pilot too, mh?" the smile was far from reaching his eyes. Goose wanted to reach out the way he used to.

"both of them, yeah."

"both of----"

Oh. Oh...

Goose noticed his lower lip tremble slightly as he stretched them in a smile. So, so sad. Distant. Teary.

"don't Goose."

And there. There it was, that softness. Not lost, just hidden. Hidden behind pain and tears a heart that Goose knew was hurting more than he deserved.

"I'm not worth the trouble. Besides, I love the smile he has now. Don't take it away for something never meant to happen."

(goose thought of calling both Merlin and Cougar to Miramar for backup. He didn't thought he would make that call with his heart stuck into his throat after the disaster Hop 31 ended up being. He expected the tears, but not the punch Cougar managed to land on Ice. Neither him nor Merlin stopped him when he lounged, though.)

⬆️ That is just an idea if I want it to end in actual tears. The other idea still has tears and a punch, but Sli is "just" in a coma.

Thinking. Many thoughts. floydsin rly is my tpm otp, cuz boy i cant stop thinking abt them. Im like that last Sandman episode when dream tells that asshole thats hes gonna have too many ideas now and he almost fucking dies because of it that is literally me rn with floydsin. They just have the best dynamic for me idk what it is

One Au ive been fond of is that the daggers r some sort of vague special agents team and bob is their guy in the chair, along with the other WSOs from the movie, but hes like their "boss" per say. And jake is the cocky, "i do shit alone" type of agent, the one everyone hates but is super hot and everyone also knows the guy has Issues™ but hes too busy being an asshole for anyone to rly care about it.

And the crux of their dynamic, The Scene, is when jake decides to go offline with his ear piece, in a zone without visual aid for the computer team, which therefore means they got no fucking clue whats going on. And it leaves bob Livid. And up until that point, bob was just a guy who they knew could do his job well, but no one really got close to except his team, cuz he takes his job seriously and doesn't want any of them to die out there. Which is exactly why hes angry at Jake in the first place, not because jake disobeyed clear orders to never turn off an earpiece unless absolutely necessary, but because doing That could mean having to explain to his family why hes fucking dead without any of them even knowing his true last words.

Its the first time they see 1) bob scream and be genuinely angry, 2) hangman ashamed and quiet. Jake gets a new understanding of not only Bob but his role on his fucking survival but also understands that apparently bob wasn't even surprised at what he did, just disappointed and tired. And yes it is here when jake starts to crush on bob. Again, the guy has issues we all know this.

And this is just one of my many, MANY, aus where the main couple is either floydsin or floydsin that turns into floydsinshaw cuz i love bradley too much to help myself

#top gun maverick #top gun au #floydsin #jake hangman seresin #hangman top gun #robert bob floyd #bob top gun #hey look i posted a thing #come get yall headcanons #i also have: a private investigators au with floydsinshaw that is absolutely delicious #an au with secret hitman bradley that woos oblivious bob. jakes also a hitman. theres so much backstory on this one #an au inspired by like minds a wee tiny bit. also with floydsin. bob is the murder gay one btw. jake is weirdly turned on by it #one where bob n jake both try to win over bradley even after their meet ugly where jake tried to rob bob n he kissed him out of panic #OH the one where bobs a farmer with rhett abbot vibes n jakes a priest and its purely an excuse for them to have kinky sex everywhere #in conclusion theyre living rent free in my mind and just trashing the place completely
