~Raven~ a Miles Teller TopGun fanfiction (SPOILER ALERT FOR TOPGUN 2)

10

"How's it looking?"Rooster comes up behind Maverick, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder. We are all in Mavericks hanger, out in the middle of the desert. I'm walking around, taking in all of the photos, articles, and other bits of memorabilia that Maverick must have collected over time hanging on the wall. My head turns, a smile finding its way onto my face when I see the two interacting, Maverick pointing at specific things in the plane and both of them going at it with rusty old tools. I let my head turn back around, spinning in wonder as I slowly walk through the hanger. I find a board, that's covered head to toe in different photos. The first photo I see I recognize from the other day, Maverick and Rooster smiling at each other about to shake hands. My eyes skim over all the photos.

"Howdy pretty lady." I feel Rooster's hands slide around my waist, and his lips press a short soft, and sweet kiss on the side of my head before he rests it on my shoulder. He is wearing his usual white and yellow button-up top, unbuttoned, of course, paired with some jeans. His warm skin sends nice waves down my body where his chin connects with my bare shoulder, a blue singlet tucked into some shorts being the only thing I have on. I smile, closing my eyes for a moment and nuzzling into him, my hands wrapping around his back. 

"Having fun with Maverick?" I say, continuing to explore the board with my eyes. 

"I am, however, he sure does like to tell me what to do. Can be a bit bossy." I laugh, shaking my head softly before Rooster stands up straight and walks in front of me. He points to a photo of Maverick and another man, letting his finger rest on it. "That's my dad." My heart skips a beat at the sentence, and my eyes widen a bit before I regain my composure. I step forwards, bringing my hands up to his shoulder, and grabbing his arm, leaning my head against it to get a better view of the photo. It is directly next to one with Maverick, Rooster, and I in it. Maverick and I are embracing, and Rooster is standing right next to me smiling.

"I'm sure he would be so proud of you," I whisper gently. Rooster takes another moment, looking at the photo in silence. I stand still, continuing to hug his arm as we both stare in silence at the photo. I gently brush his back up and down, letting him have the moment to take it in. 

"I think he would've loved you." He says, turning to face me and letting my hands fall into his. I smile at his words. 

"I'd like to think so," I say, a cheeky smile on my face. He just laughs gently at me, letting his head turn back to look at the photo a bit, before turning back to me. He quickly leans down, and I meet him halfway on my tippy toes. We kiss. It starts soft and gentle, but his hands travel to the arch in my back, grabbing it on both sides and bending me up further to meet his lips. We kiss more eagerly, letting our bodies take over for just a second before I hear Maverick clear his throat. 

"Not to interrupt, but Rooster I need your help with this part." Maverick spins around on his toes, walking back over to the plane as me and Rooster slowly pull our lips apart. He is still leaning down, his hands still encouraging the arch in my back. He closes his eyes, letting out a gentle laugh as he presses our foreheads together. 

"Go on then," I say, standing just a bit taller to place a kiss on his head before I let myself down, pulling away from him. He lets his hands fall dramatically back to his sides, before turning around and going to help Maverick. I laugh as he walks away, before turning back to look at the photo of his dad one more time. "I really hope you do like me. I promise I'll take good care of him from now on." I whisper, before sadly smiling and walking off towards where Rooster and Maverick should be. 

I approach the plane, but my eyes are quickly distracted by the view of a car pulling up just outside the hanger. Rooster and Maverick don't see it at first but their heads turn when they hear me let out a laugh. Maverick walks over to me, only to then see Penny at the opening of the hanger, leaning against her car and staring at him.
