Say There's No Future For Us As A PairAnd Though I May Know, I Don't Care

Say there's no future for us as a pair And though I may know, I don't care

A homage to one of the sexiest songs in musical theatre with Icemav!

And did you think I didn't you? There were flashing lights

At least I had the decency to keep my nights out of sight

Only rumours 'bout my hips and thighs and whispered sighs

Oh Lord, I think about jumping off of very tall somethings

Just to see you come running and say the one thing I've been wanting

But no!

Baby, was it over then? And is it over now?

Imagine a song fic based on "For Good" from Wicked where all Slider can do, a few days after Ice's death, think about the message he received from his best friend that morning, and realising that it was a goodbye: "Let me say this, Sli; so much of me is what I've learned from you. And whatever way your story ends, I can say for a fact that you have rewritten mine, by being my friend. And I know it was for good."

And Slider feels the same way because he knows that he and Ice changed each other, permanently, inescapably. But he thinks that it was for the better; that it was for good.

Word of advice for all the Top Gun and Broadway fans alike: don't listen/watch "For Good" while watching Maverick and Ice's scene in TGM. Just don't, unless you want to cry buckets of tears.

I mean, just look at them...!

Obsessed with the concept of a character who has never been treated kindly or gently in their life (or in a very long time) and suddenly being treated gently and with care and being stunned and then overwhelmed by it.

It's the last thing you wanted // Tell me, which side are you on, dear?

It's the first thing I'd do // Give me some tips to forget you

You tell me your problems // Have I become one of your problems?

I tell you that I think I'm falling back in love with you
