To say you’re upset is an understatement. Anger, frustration and confusion all cloud your headspace as you lay in bed, waiting for the familiar sound of the door being unlocked to reach your ears. Rain pounds against the window at your side, the glass stained with water droplets. Today had been eventful. Far too eventful for your liking. Your boyfriend and fellow pilot seemed to have it out for the very man who’s instructing you all this week. And to you, it makes sense. Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell was the one flying when Bradley’s Father died… But what happened today… it seemed far more personal. You and Rooster have had plenty a conversation about his past and rather rocky childhood, but never had he seemed to have any hard feelings towards Captain Mitchell… Unless he’d kept it hidden away until now. A familiar set of keys against the door pulls you from your thoughts as you sit up in bed, the dull glow of the lamp at your bedside illuminating the room. A tired and saddened looking Bradley is wordlessly wandering towards where you lay, shedding his boots and flightsuit in the process. Simply passing you a glance, he clambers into bed at your side, getting comfortable. But you can’t let him just fall asleep without answers. Huffing, you prop yourself up on your elbow, rolling onto your side to face him. “You seriously broke every rule in the book today, you know that, right?” You muse aloud, tone soft but firm. Your boyfriend just passes you yet another tired glance. “Are you trying to get yourself kicked out?!” “Don’t worry about it,” Comes the reply, a mere grumble, though it carries an air of sorrow. “Well, I am worried about it, Bradley! If you get kicked out, you leave the rest of us flying with Hangman. Talk to me! What the hell happened up there today?” A moment of silence passes as Rooster sighs, turning to face you, his brown gaze meeting yours. “He pulled my papers.” Confusion pricks your thoughts. “What? Who?” “Maverick,” He admits, a frustration in his tone. “He pulled my application from the Naval Academy - set me back four years.” You shift closer to the man at your side, a feeling of compassion mixing with your confusion. “Why would he do that, though?” Your question is once more met with a mere look of fatigue, frustration and uncertainty. And as a silence blankets the pair of you yet again, you allow it to settle this time, though it doesn’t last long, with Bradley cueing up a soft playlist to keep you both company on this rainy night. With the rain and the music and the presence of the pilot at your side, an ease that seems to be shared fills the air between the pair of you - the same ease that follows you both into a light yet restful slumber, ready to tackle tomorrow’s challenges, whatever they may be.
