"you are still dangerous"

MAV: Hello, I'm sorry, but I am looking for my husband

• But Bradley soon came to the realization that, Maverick was just as much or even more as a dad to him as well, so he went with the name "Mitchell Nick Bradshaw"

• Now post Top Gun Maverick/mission Mav found out about the kid (from going through photo albums on Bradley's phone but still) and Of course Mav was bouncing off the walls about it. Mav was asking what his name was and Bradley went, "Oh He's named after my dad," without thinking about it

• Mav goes "So his name is Nick?" Making Bradley really embarrassed about it and everything so he just nods his head and goes, "Yep...Nick, his name is Nick" So that's what Mav referred to Mitchell as "Nick" for months on end and Bradley just went along with it nodding his head along

• Finally Mav got to meet Nick and he goes, "You're the Nick I've been hearing about right?" and 'Nick' says confusion "Nick is my middle name actually"

• This confuses Mav and he asks, "I thought you were named after your Grandpa?"

• 'Nick' nod and says, "Yeah I am, my name is Mitchell"

• This makes Mav sit there and wonder who in Bradley's family is named Mitchell, then it hits him...his last name is Mitchell

• When Mav went home that night he cried knowing that Bradley's son was named after him and Bradley also saw him as a dad as well

Slider: “at IKEA — does this shelf work in the den.”

*sends pic*

Ice: “I don’t know, where’s Mav?”

Slider: “got it.”

*sends picture of shelf and Mav looking at it, turned away from the camera, because he doesn’t know*

It kept bothering me.

His smile is too bright. Bright and brittle, forcing itself outwards.

He never takes his sunglasses off.

He leaves in the middle of the game and watches.

He doesn’t sit with Penny, he sits alone.

The only moment of genuine emotion is the moment with Rooster.

Maverick absolutely loves it. He has multiple costumes and volunteers to take Bradley trick or treating every year.

Goose and Carole are fine with Maverick taking him as it gives them a date night.

However, they forgot the small detail that kids would be interrupting their date night by knocking on their door for trick or treating.

The next year they decide to take Bradley trick or treating themselves as a date night is impossible.

They invite Maverick to come along but he doesn't want to intrude so he just goes back to his and Ice's house and cries in his boyfriend's arms.

Ice gets all of the '86 class together and they create a special trick and treating route just for Maverick.

Ice drives him to Hollywolf's house and tells him to knock on their door. They open it and complement Maverick on his costume before giving him sweets.

Maverick asks Ice what that was about and he tells him that he's created a special trick or treating route just for him. Maverick kisses him hard and they spend the rest of the evening going round every house of the '86 class and Maverick ends up with 2 bucket full of sweets.

Ice doesn't really see the hype around Halloween. He'll acknowledge it's a holiday and that people like Maverick absolutely adore it but he won't participate.

Slider has tried to get Ice to go trick or treating since they were 5 but he always says he has studying to do.

Maverick starts joining Slider in convincing Ice but he still says no until Maverick offers to kiss him.

Ice immediately accepts but refuses to wear an actual Halloween costume, he just wears his flight suit and carries a bag to put the sweets in.

He quite likes the experience, but would rather die than admit that to Maverick and Slider.

Hollywood and Wolfman love Halloween as they make couple costumes and nobody ever questions if their in a relationship.

One time Slider dressed up as Maverick for Halloween as in Slider's words 'Your the best Halloween character Mav. Your scary, dangerous, short and annoying, you're perfect'

Maverick was completely annoyed but Ice couldn't stop laughing, especially at the fact Slider had used his spare key to get into their house and steal Maverick's jacket while they were out.

Slider wore the costume all day and everyone at the base loved it, he even went as far as going to The Bradshaw's in costume.

Goose and Carole absolutely lost their minds over Slider's imitation of Maverick's movements while Bradley started calling Slider 'Uncle Mav'

Even Ice joined in by calling Slider 'Maverick' and getting all romantic with him.

Maverick was taking it on the chin until Slider moved in to kiss Ice.

He got between them and pushed Ice onto the sofa before tackling Slider so he could stop impersonating him but during the tackle Maverick's jacket ended up ripping.
