HE LOOKS SO GOOD HERE

My Protector

✧ summary: After Goose's death, Maverick was sworn to protect three people. Carole, Bradley, and you. A woman who Maverick had always thought fondly of, a woman who stole his heart.

✧ a/n: oops i did it. so this is def based on the first Top Gun, so if you've never seen it – i guess spoiler alert? idk, but brb crying in the club with my aviators on 🥺

✧ pairing: Pete "Maverick" Mitchell x Bradshaw!Female!Reader

✧ warnings: character death, mentions of death, angst

Your eyes welled with tears as you sat there with Carole and Bradley. Your nephew was in your arms, he had no earthly idea what was going on. All he could see was his mother and aunt crying continuously. Pete was stowed away, gently boxing up Goose’s things, knowing that there were two women and a little boy waiting in the other room. 

Maverick blamed himself. He couldn’t stand to look at himself in the mirror. He didn’t care who said that this incident wans’t his fault, that it was an accident no one saw coming – Mav knew. He inhaled sharply as he folded up Goose’s aviators and clutched his dog tags in his hand, a keepsake he’d hold onto for a little while longer. 

You and Nick had a strong relationship. He was your older brother and you adored him, you looked up to him. You thought he was the bravest soul to go out there and do the things he did, to become this Naval Aviator… It took guts and glory. And when he was being sent to Top Gun, you expressed how proud you were of him. But when you received the call that an accident occurred, your stomach dropped. You had just came along with Carole and Bradley to visit your brother, only for a short amount of time to pass before he was killed. 

You heard as the door opened and your eyes glanced up to see Pete. His face was stone cold and you knew he was trying his hardest to suppress his emotions. 

Carole covered her mouth as she saw him emerge. “God, he loved flying with you, Maverick,” She whispered, her voice cracking. She was still in utter disbelief that her husband, her best friend, and the father of her son were gone. 

You stood to your feet and wiped your eyes with a soft smile. “He would have flown anyway… Without you,” You admitted. Maverick looked over at you with a broken stare. 

“He’d have hated it, but he would have done it,” Carole added as Maverick carefully handed her the box full of Goose’s things. Carole grabbed them and got Bradley’s hand, knowing the two of you needed a moment alone together. As the door to the room closed, you felt your eyes water even more with tears. 

“I just can’t believe he’s gone, Mav,” You exhaled. Maverick felt his throat tighten as a hard lump formed that he tried to swallow. 

“It’s all my fault,” He whispered. 

Your eyes snapped up. Walking forward, you reached up and rested your hands on his cheeks. “Maverick, this was not your fault,” You told him sincerely. “Accidents happen.”

But deep down, Maverick knew. He knew that his feud with Ice is what caused this. Both of them were on the hunt of being the best pilot. Cockiness got the better of Maverick and for that, he paid the price with his best friend’s life. He snatched him away from his wife, his son, and his sister. A sister who Maverick turned his eyes to stare at you, remembering oh so fondly the decree Goose made Maverick take. 

“If anything happens to me while we’re out here, you take care of three people dearest to me. Carole, Bradley, and Y/N. Especially Y/N. That girl needs you more than ever, Maverick. And I’m not just saying that because I saw her doodle hearts around your name one time.” Goose laughed as he and Maverick sat at the piano together after their rendition of Great Balls of Fire. 

“I’ll protect them all with my life, buddy,” Maverick promised him as he clapped him on the back. 

As he was brought back to the present, he stared at you with a sad expression. “I’m so sorry, Y/N,” He whispered. “I’m so sorry,” 

You saw his green eyes give away and the tears began to spill. Without hesitation, you wrapped your arms tightly around him and pressed your hand to the back of his head. Together, the two of you stood there, sharing the river of tears as you mourned the biggest loss you’d ever faced. 

Maverick’s arms wrapped around your waist and he buried his face into the crook of your neck. He broke with sniffles, soon pulling himself together. 

He had to be strong for you. He couldn’t break anymore. He leaned forward and kissed your forehead, his eyes closing tightly. 

“I’m going to protect you, Y/N… Goose made me promise.” He muttered. 

Your heart faltered. “What?” You asked.

Maverick cleared his throat. “Before we ever went to Top Gun… Goose made me promise that if anything ever happened to him – I’d look out for Carole and Bradley, but especially you,” He whispered. “And it’s a promise I’ll hold forever.” 

You blinked, nodding your head. Another soft kiss was pressed to your forehead and the tears spilled even more. 

Maverick would protect you with his life.
