    Summary

    Pete stares at the speakers as the song's first notes start playing, but his brain is looping back the words, rolling the radio name over until it sticks to the warm voice that had spoken it. He removes his hand from the dial.

    There's no indication that this man's show will play his regular kind of music; the current song choice directly reflects that belief, but... Pete's always been a sucker for voices, and this Ice fella has a pretty nice one (and if the morbid thought that maybe it'd be a good enough voice to be the last one he hears crosses his mind, that's not for anyone else to worry about.) He lets Lauper croon and sets his paper cup down, ready to get back to work.

    [“Ice,” Maverick said slowly, “do you have a crush on me?”

    Maverick grinned. “How embarrassing.”]

    Summary

    In hindsight, it was dumb, utterly stupid, and completely unfounded, but there had been a passing thought through Ice's head when he'd agreed. That, perhaps, the same bugs of attraction had crawled under Maverick's skin like they'd done his own.

    It doesn’t help in the slightest that Maverick, the idiot he is, winks and throws out a blase “It’s a date!” over his shoulder.

    Or: The 5 times Maverick says it's a date when it's not, and The 1 time he doesn't, and it is.

    Summary
