"Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time." - Maverick when the Navy questions how he's still alive.

Headcanon:

After the suicide mission and they all come back home safely and Bradley has made up with his dads, Maverick and Ice decide to renew their vows, because they've never had a close call such as this.

As a joke - but not really - Ice asks Maverick if there's anyone he could go to ask permission to marry him, even if he already went to Goose and Carole's graves to ask that very question when DADT was first repealed.

From where they're sitting on their couch, limbs intertwined and faces mere inches from each other, Maverick pulls away enough so that their noses brush and says, in all seriousness;

"Well, why don't we ask..."

"The kids?" they finish together.

It's all the approval they need.

just thinking about ✨Him✨ (Tom “Iceman” Kazansky)

"Sparks Fly" is so Icemav.

We've got pining:

"The way you move is like a full-on rainstorm / And I'm a house of cards / You're the kind of reckless that should send me running/ But I kinda know that I won't get far"

And then:

"Drop everything now / Meet me in the pouring rain / Kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain / 'Cause I see sparks fly, whenever you smile"

And:

"Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around / 'Cause I see sparks fly, whenever you smile" because they're WINGMEN, okay??

And then Ice's POV with more pining:

"I'm on my guard for the rest of the world / But with you, I know it's no good / And I could wait patiently / But I really wish you would"

Again, more pining in the bridge:

"I run my fingers through your hair / And watch the lights go wild / Just keep on keeping your eyes on me" and "I'm captivated by you, baby / Like a fireworks show"

And then to top it all off, THIS line, because Taylor wrote it for them:

"Get me with those green eyes, baby / As the lights go down"

Like, HELLO?? This is THEIR song.

If I'm honest, I know, I'd give it all back

For a chance to start over

And rewrite an ending or two

For the boy that I knew

Who was reckless just enough, who gets hurt

But who learns how to toughen up when he's bruised

And gets used by a woman who can't love.
