“And he needs cinnamon because—-?”
“Because he’s sick.”
The blond climbed into the bronco with a frown. “Since when is cinnamon sick people food?”
“It’s an excellent source of antioxidants and has antibacterial properties.”
“What?”

Summary
It made it easy to take the flyboys at their word, believing wholeheartedly that someone would be waiting for him when the carrier finally docked on wet and dreary Wednesday evening. But as Maverick glanced at his watch and noted he’d been there for almost two hours, he was starting to feel that familiar pit of shame and sadness well up in him as he realized that this, too, may have been just a ploy. Some sick game that they played on the grieving Mitchell—
“No,” he muttered angrily, refusing to believe that.
Things happened—maybe they’d had car trouble or forgot about his return date or something? Maybe they got called in for last minute ops? There had to be a reason other than his new friends all simultaneously deciding to abandon him.

Summary
Ron fell to his knees next to Nick, reaching out to feel the kid’s forehead.
“He—-I think he’s just asleep,” the mustached man tried to reassure. “Found him slumped over here. Got a fever and looks like hell—“
And he did. The teen was already on the skinny side normally, but he looked like he’d damn near lost 15lbs since they’d last seen him, and his face was almost sunken in. He was grey beneath his flushed cheeks too.
“C’mon, Tommy—wake up, kid—c’mon—“ Ron reached out to shake the kid none too gently, rubbing his knuckles against his sternum when that didn’t produce a reaction.

Summary
“Maverick—-look at him over there. Didn’t you see him during Viper’s lecture? Kid could barely sit up straight and kept lookin’ like he was dozin’ off. Now look at him! He’s practically trippin’ over himself—how do you drink so much to still be drunk at 1300 the next day?”
“He’s what?” Rick turned to look in the direction his backseater was pointing, frowning when he spotted the smaller pilot stumble to lean up against a wall, burying his head in his hands. “Hey—Mav?”
“Hmm?” Maverick cleared his throat, frowning when he felt his chest tighten again.
“Mav, you with me?” Rick reiterated, moving to stand in front of the kid.

Summary
“Stay with me, kid,” Slider said a bit sharply, watching the other man grow paler. “I need you to focus, right? We’ve gotta help Bradley.”
“Bradley—-” Maverick borderline whined, forcing himself to smile tightly and look back up at his godson’s face. At his terrified godson’s face. “It’s—it’s gonna be okay, sweetheart, okay?”
“H-h-h-urts,” Bradley sobbed, tears streaming down his face as he clung to Slider’s shirt with his uninjured hand.
“I know—I know it does,” Mav nodded, mind racing as he saw scarlet soaking through the tshirt.
