When Goose entered in the cloakroom, he frowned when he saw Maverick, the eyes stuck on Iceman.
“Mav ? You okay ?”
The pilot’s eyes didn’t leave Iceman as he answered.
“Do you think Ice is cuddling in bed ?”
“What ?”
Goose made a high laugh, the sentence of Maverick not making any sense in his mind.
“I’m just wondering if he would be the cuddling kind in bed. Or perhaps kissing. He looks like a cuddling guy though.”
“Does he ?”
Goose wasn’t so surprised by Mav’s attitude, it was pretty common for him to say stuff with no apparent link to the conversation.
“He does. And he probably does very cuddles.”
After a while observing him, Maverick seemed to decide himself. He then shouted in the room, not paying attention at all of the other pilots.
“Ice ! Do you like cuddling in bed ?”
Goose scoffed at his question, always amazed by Maverick’s confidence. But when he thought Iceman’s reaction would only be an annoyed face and a sigh, he was surprised to hear the other answers, calmly.
“I don’t know, would you like to experiment to discover it ?”
“Tonight ?” Maverick offered.
Iceman shrugged his shoulders :
“If you want. I’ll accept to let you in after seven.”
“I will be there at six, thanks !”
And without adding anything, Iceman left the room, a satisfied smile on the face.
“Sorry, what just happened ?” Goose asked, as confused as the rest of the pilots.
“Listen, buddy, sometimes we have to find ourselves the answers of our questions, and as the brave and courageous man I am, I’m going to find that out for all of us. You all should thank me. Anyways, you’re welcome, and I’ve to go. You know, to be ready for a certain pretty blond boy.”
Well Goose knew Maverick. He knew him for a lot of years and it was not going to change. Yet, Mav seemed to always manage to surprise him, no matter what.
And the day later, when Goose found Mav and Ice kissing behind the training field, he understood that, no matter what, this wasn’t going to change.
Mav was full of surprises.
