Summary
Abbot snorts, shaking his head and turning fully toward Robby now. "One of these days, we won't be married to the job, right?"
"Hell if I know," Robby sighs, pulling a hand from the warm reprieve of his coat pocket to rub at the back of his neck instead. "If we ever do leave, we're retiring somewhere warm."

Summary
Jack's invited to Trinity's birthday party because, as she puts it, he's her 'favorite old man.'
"Don't forget the dress code," she insists. "Everybody's dressing up, including Samira."

Summary
Samira’s the last to try.
She walks out onto the roof with him. Stands next to him. Pushes her flyaway hairs behind her ears, slicking them there easily with the rainwater.
“You’re safe,” she says quietly, looking up at him.

Summary
Jack's voice is soft when he draws her back to the present. "You missin' me, Samira?"
"Certainly missing parts of you."
He laughs. "Oh, now I know what kind of call this is. You've got some post-shift adrenaline to burn off and need a little — encouragement."

Summary
It's all so perfectly normal. He's laughing as Penny gives the pilots a nod, feels arms locking with his to haul him up and away from the bar —
And then there's the barely-there brush of skin against his hand and the world tilts.
Pete's still trying to find his bearings as he's gently thrown to the sand, breath caught in his chest as he reels from the knowledge that he's been touched. Touched in the way Goose always talked about, the way that everyone always talks about, and it's so much more overwhelming than he could have imagined.

She can hear the smile in his voice — feels it rattle through her as his fingers tighten in her hair, tugging and pulling until the arch in her back sets at the perfect angle.

"Well," she replies, already smirking, "Why don't you go to Texas for a bit and see Jake? Maybe you need to keep your hands busy on something that isn't a plane."

“I had plans for the day, y’know,” Natasha insists, fingers twisting in Pete’s hair as he drags his lips down the length of her neck, open-mouthed kiss dropped onto her collarbone in the shape of his smile. “I was going to have a self-care day.”
Maverick laughs softly, eyes dancing as he holds himself up over her to reply, “Honestly, Tash, I dunno what that is.”

Summary
The battery percentage on Jake's phone is nearing the red zone and the last thing he wants is to be completely removed from society (being stuck in a snowstorm in the middle of nowhere is bad enough). He leans down to find the charger in his bag when –
“Seresin?”
Jake goes still, grin on his lips before he even looks up.
“Bradshaw,” he replies, grin twisting into a fond smirk. “As I live and breathe. The hell are you doin’ here?”
