Agents - Top Gun AU

Repay

Ice cringed and tried to reach for his gun. He tried to push the mercenary off of him. He felt himself slipping, but he fought through the pain and grabbed the gun, then shooting the mercenary.

The person fell on top of him. He gasped for air and pushed the mercenary off of him.

Ice sat up and was rubbing his neck as he sat there. He was feeling a bit blank. But snapped back to reality when Maverick called for him.

"Ice!" Maverick yelled from the door. Ice simply stood up and opened the door. Mavericks eyes widened. He quickly put the food down and rushed over to Ice.

Maverick was getting ready to panic but Ice just leaned his head onto Mavericks shoulder. Ice just held Mavericks shirt slightly.

His hands were shaking.

Maverick noticed and hugged him as he saw the semi destroyed house. "Are you okay?" Maverick asked him calmly.

"No..."

Maverick called the medical team and investigation team to come help him out.

A nurse had Ice sitting on a desk. She was treating a cut he had on his cheek and arm.

Maverick leaned against the door frame watching protectively as if someone might try something again.

Ice stared blankly at the wall.

Maverick knew this look. It was Ice giving up.

Ice was at the end of his rope in that moment. Maverick knew. It was the same look when his husband died.

Maverick simply walked over as the nurse finished.

Ice didn't meet Mavericks gaze at all. Maverick saw the bruises forming on Ices neck darkly.
Seeing those bluish purple bruises on his neck made Maverick angry.

The nurse left the two there as she went to go write a report on the incident.

Maverick gently took Ices hand into his. Ice squeezed his hand tightly. Mav knelt down in front of him and turned his face towards him gently.

Ice looked at him.

"Are you okay?"

Ice looked down and just looked at the ground. "What... what if Anne was here?" He mumbled. He was frustrated, he just... he just wanted it all to stop.

"Don't think about that... she wasn't here-"

"What if he opened the door and shot you..." ice said. Maverick looked at him concerned.

"I fought that man from opening the door. I didn't want to see you die..." ice teared up and lowered his head as he felt his anger start to pour out.

Maverick squeezed his hand. "Ice... he didn't open the door. I am right here... I'm alive."

Maverick took his hand and placed it where his heart was. "I'm okay..."

Ice calmed down slightly but he was just so frustrated with his life. Everything went so wrong in the past month basically.

He couldn't lose anyone else.

"I-I'm just so tired of this. I'm tired of being alone, I'm tired of being hunted..."

"You're not alone." Maverick said as he looked at him. Ice just stared at the ground.

"If you were alone, would I be here?" Maverick said. Ice shook his head.

"Good... and so that you're not alone, you're coming over to my barracks, and staying there until the threat is gone. Anne is welcome too." Mav said as he grabbed Ices jacket, computer and keycard.

"Mav.. you don't have to do that."

"I'm going to. You took care of me when I was hurt, let me repay the favor back. Okay?"

Ice just sighed.

"Fine."
