    Summary

    For a second, getting in Sundown's face on the tarmac, it probably showed anyway. That he was already over the edge, clinging by his fingernails. That he needed something nobody was giving him. He hoped dimly for a minute that Sundown might shove him off, shove him off or even hit him. He wanted to be hit. He wanted to bleed.

    It wasn't going to be as much as Goose had bled. But it would be something.

    But Sundown didn't do it. He let Maverick walk away whole. Just like Viper, just like Charlie. Just like Carole. Just like the board of inquiry.

    Then, in the locker room after, there was Iceman.

    Summary

    Ice peeled his shades off and looked at Mav, and the smirk grew just a tiny bit. "You've got a little something on your face." He gestured to his own face, the side of which was perfect and unbruised, unlike Mav's. He knew this from a long, wincing examination in the mirror that morning. But at least his eye was open and working now, and he could roll it at Ice, so small mercies.

    "Did you bring the promised food? Because unless you want to eat a cactus dipped in beer sauce, you're shit out of luck otherwise."

    "I'm a naval aviator, I'm always prepared." Ice lifted a duffel and a bag of groceries out of the trunk. "I'd ask for a hand with this, but first I need to recon the situation. Make sure you have two good ones left."

    "Keep it up, asshole," Mav said, and turned his back to limp into the house in a completely dignified way.
