Summary
"You're kidding me." The drawl could be anyone, Maverick thinks to himself. It's still Texas.
When he turns, the grin is gone. As is all the sharp edges to the man's expression. Instead, it looks about as worn down as Maverick feels.
"Are you going to—" Jake pauses as his gaze flickers up to the current flight at the gate. "Milwaukee? You seem like a Wisconsin kinda guy."
"Washington," Maverick finally sighs out, and Jake just fixes him with a stare.
"State?"
"D.C."
Jake inhales. It shouldn't be possible for an inhale to sound like an expletive, but he managed.
***
Maverick's never been that lucky in love. Turns out, neither had Jake.

Summary
A continuation of "A Beautiful Friendship", the story of how Hondo & Maverick originally became friends.
Hondo & Maverick transfer up to NAS China Lake to test Skunkworks' experimental manned version of the SR-72, project name Darkstar. That is, up until they're called to Top Gun after some, ahem, turbulent moments. This turns out to possibly be the most fraught assignment of Hondo's career, because having Maverick's back through training for that mission turns out to come with unexpected challenges. (Like stealing a military aircraft.)
This story starts before the events of Top Gun: Maverick, and runs through the events of the movie.
