a/n: chat the Mack one is sort of flopping... I need more requests because i legit have none anymore :(
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Will is quite affectionate in the quieter ways. It’s not always as noticeable as expected. A silent kiss to the top of your head as he walks past, a hug from behind as you're brushing your teeth or doing your hair. He doesn’t really show affection in public because he knows how friends act but he does get secretly happy when something of you guys is going viral online.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
Will as a best friend would be full of laughs until both of you are on the floor crying while your stomach hurts. He has great humor and you love hanging out really anywhere. Errands, someone's apartment, coffee shops, really just anywhere. It’s easy to hangout. You guys met in Boston College, alongside his other friends. But you didn’t click as hard with them as you did with him. One day in class you guys were sitting next to each other and conversation just.. started. And then it led to exchanging numbers and boom. Bestfriends. And after college you just ended up in San Jose so you rekindled.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
Will does like to cuddle, but he’s not necessarily a clinger. He likes to be the dominant one whenever you cuddle because he likes that he’s the one to take care of you. His favourite way to cuddle is when you’re draped over him or spooning you. Will really likes when you’re draped over him, though.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
Will doesn’t want to settle down early. He likes being able to party and have fun, especially since he didn’t finish college all the way. During the offseason, he does bring you to Boston and goes with you when you visit your family. Like, everyone knows you're together, you guys just aren’t settling down yet because you’re still really young. I think he’d want to settle down around twenty-four, twenty-five. Still young for some, but it’s not like either of you are leaving so it’s around time. Will is really good at baking. He doesn’t have his own recipes yet, so he uses internet recipes but he is getting really good. Will also isn’t big on cleaning, either, but he will do it when he knows you’re exhausted.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
Will doesn’t like to think about breaking up, but if things weren’t working out, he’d follow through with it. He would do it properly though. Not some texting crap, but he’d give you flowers and make sure you know none of it is in sour feelings. Plus you guys are still friends afterwards.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Will is already committed to you as soon as you start dating. He doesn’t waste his time playing around. Yet again, Will wouldn’t get married quickly. He’d want to get ready at a medium pace. When you are planning the wedding, he isn’t just nodding and going with whatever you say. He puts opinions in, too, because it’s a two-way marriage.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
Will is always gentle with you. In both ways. Physically, he’s always gentle with you and never ever wants to hurt you. Emotionally, he’s always taking care of you so you never overthink too hard about your relationship. Will doesn’t ever want you to think that you’ve done something wrong or messed something up.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
Will does like hugs but it’s not like he’s constantly hugging you 24/7. Will likes to be hugging you whenever you’re in the mirror or in the kitchen. He just wraps himself around you from behind. He’s sort of like a bear hugger.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
Will says I love you around the average time. One night, after a grueling game he came to your apartment and while you were babying him he just… said it. You smiled and said it back, knowing you were ready. It was a really cute moment and sometimes when he’s on a roadie, he’ll think about that before he sleeps. It helps him sleep when he’s away from you. This was about two and a half months into the relationship.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
Will gets quite jealous. He doesn’t like when another guy's gaze lingers, and he definitely doesn’t like when a man talks to you. Will makes sure that it’s known that you're his, and for your sixth month anniversary he got you a necklace with W on it. It could mean two things, but he just thought it’d be better. When Will does get jealous, it turns him off for the rest of the night. He’ll intervene, stop the situation, and take you home.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
Will’s kisses are firm. His favourite places to kiss you are your lips (duh), shoulder, and top of your head. Where he likes to be kissed is behind his ear and on his collarbone. Will’s kisses are always firm and he doesn’t like quick and short kisses. When he does kiss you, he doesn’t want to feel rushed, he wants to feel loved and know it’s meaningful.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
Will grew up as the younger child, so he doesn’t have a lot of experience of taking care of kids. But he does like playing with them and teasing them. One time you guys took care of your little cousins, aged 2 and 5, and while you went to the bathroom and came back, the 2-year-old happened to fall down on top of the 5-year-old and both got little cuts from the coffee table. Will still hasn’t told you how the 2-year-old fell.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
Waking up with Will is one of the best feelings. You guys don’t always stay over at each other's place, so when you do it’s awesome. Both of you have a competition to wake up first so they could kiss the other's face all over to wake up. (if that makes sense.)
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
When Will stays over at your place, the night routine goes like this; shower together, get into pajamas, brush teeth, skincare, and then bedtime. You force Will into doing his skincare with you. When you stay over at Will’s it goes like this; TV time, brush teeth, you do skincare, and then bedtime. He could care less about skincare but he lets you do yours while he sits on the toilet seat and yaps to you.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
Will doesn’t immediately spill, but he lets things trickle out over time, You guys just really learn things about each other everyday. It doesn’t necessarily take forever to get to know everything about each other, but it takes a good six months.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
Will’s patience runs really low when it comes to jealousy, but when it comes to anger he doesn’t get mad that easily. If he is upset or angry, the majority of it gets released in hockey. With you he has unlimited patience, though. He doesn’t ever get mad at you because he knows how much that would affect you and he doesn’t want to go there.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
Will absolutely remembers everything you’ve ever told him. That embarrassing story from sixth grade you told him one random late night two months ago? He’ll still tease you about it when the occasion comes. You’ll smile to yourself and say you’re never telling him anything ever again, even when you know you totally will.
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
Will’s favourite moment is when you first met in the BC class and started hanging out. Those moments are so nostalgic from him. Other moments he cherishes are your first kiss, first beach trip, and that one time you tried to go for a road trip to Boston and got lost. Your favorite moment is when he signed to the San Jose Sharks and he ran into your dorm and jumped into your arms, celebrating.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Will is very protective over you and he definitely takes everything seriously. If you're on a call while you're walking and say you're scared of this man behind you? He’s immediately coming to pick you up. When you’re out in public together he holds you tight to him so everyone knows. Will doesn’t really need to be protected, he’s a six foot hockey player. But you do protect him over girls flirting with him. You’ll instantly respond to any girl who tries to flirt and shoot them down.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
Will really likes to put effort into all of your dates and anniversaries. For dates, it’s always something new and it’s always something fun. For anniversaries, you guys say you’ll take turns planning, but you get the chance to make any. For everyday tasks, he likes to do all the things that you don’t. He just wants to take care of you, and when he goes away on roadies he tries to do everything he normally does before he leaves but ten times better so it’ll last longer. He even refills your gas tank for you because he knows you don’t want to smell like gasoline. When he leaves, he makes sure your tank is full.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
Will’s bad habit is not doing his skincare! That’s why whenever you can, you force him to do it so he doesn’t break out with all the sweating he does under his helmet. When he stays at yours, you do his full skincare. When you stay at his, he just so happens to disappear while you do your skincare.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
Will just likes to take care of his hair. He doesn’t use a conditioner but he does have an immense routine of water :) He gets lucky his curls haven’t fallen out yet, you tell him.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
Will doesn’t necessarily feel incomplete, but he does feel like there's just something he’s missing when he's on a roadtrip. You’re his person, and without you it just sort of feels like an imbalance.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
Will does indeed like it when you wear his W necklace, and eventually he gets your initial! You don’t even ask him, he just asks you if you notice anything different that day. Your eyes fall onto the necklace laying on his bare chest and you immediately smile.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
Will doesn’t like being loud in public. He just thinks it’s so disrespectful and he shys away from anyone who tries to make themself known while walking in the street. It’s just… weird.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
Will sleep talks! Macklin and you like to complain about it together because you guys are both basically his roommates, Macklin is his roadtrip roommate and you’re his partner so you connect through that! He’ll just be saying the most random things ever and sometimes it’ll wake you up and you’ll have to muffle your laughter.
alphabetical sfw headcanons with Mack or will, please!
MACKLIN CELEBRINI SFW ALPHABET
word count: 1.8k
a/n: I'm going to make a wsh version of this either later or tomorrow so come back! (send requests!!!)
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Macklin isn’t necessarily openingly affectionate, but he is very affectionate at home. Fans don’t see how much of a clinger he is, but his teammates and family know how affectionate he is. They all know that Macklin is very clingy and sticks to you like glue. Macklin shows his affection in all sorts of languages. Physical, giving, and constantly telling you how beautiful you are and how he doesn’t deserve you.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
The friendship would probably begin in a coffee shop. One day he and Will are peoplewatching and you stroll in and correct them on their guess of you. You ask to join and boom, exchanging numbers on the spot. Meeting up often at coffee shops and playing your favourite game, eventually Will starts to get busy and it ends up just being you and Macklin. You turn up closer than expected and being best friends with Macklin is awesome. Unfortunately you have to drive him most places, but being friends with Macklin is easy.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
Macklin is a D1 cuddler. Anytime, anywhere. He needs at least ten minutes before either of you get up in the morning. His favourite way to cuddle you is being sprawled out on you so your hands just magically land on his back for scratches. If he had to pick anything else, it’d probably be spooning so he could still wrap himself around you.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
Macklin likes how his year works. Four months of summer, the rest full of hockey and training. In Vancouver, Macklin turns extremely domestic and all of a sudden you’re having dreams of your future together. During hockey season, he’s often away and his schedule is always packed, so it’s hard. When he gets home, he just wants to collapse in your arms. Macklin isn’t much of a cleaner, maybe clean the bedroom every here and there, but he does try to cook. Heavy on trying. He likes to say it’s his secret talent and yes, sometimes it is, but sometimes you wake up to a crisp smell.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
Breaking up is not something that Macklin has ever thought of. Leaving his favourite person? Never. If breaking up was the only option, it’d be you to pull the trigger. He wouldn’t be able to handle it, even if the relationship was falling apart.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Macklin knows you’re going to end up getting married and he realizes that in six months. When he brings you to Vancouver, he just confirms every future dream he's thought of. Seeing you all domestic with his family, it warms him. So at age twenty-two, you get married in the summer between his seasons. But, he does propose at age twenty-one. It may be early, but you both know there’s no one else.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
Macklin is very gentle with you, but he’s known as a spazz out. He gets frustrated but none of that comes out on you, you’re his mediator. Physically, he’s very gentle and never hurts you. The only time he’s ever hurt you is when he gets his shot at the doctors and he holds your hand too tight. Emotionally Macklin is complicated, but with you he treats you very well and gracefully.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
BEAR HUGS. Macklin is very, very much a bear hugger. Every part of you is being touched while he hugs you. Every time Macklin sees you, he hugs you as a greeting. Macklin is a big hugger.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
Once Macklin is comfortable, he’s quite open and loving. So one day when he suddenly just.. says it, your heart instantly warms you decide you can say it back. He says it about two months in. Although, he almost said it a month in. When he was getting ready to leave for practice it almost came out on reflex before he cut himself off. When he does say it though, you were just cuddling in bed and it comes out.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
Macklin isn’t a big jealousy guy, but when you’re celebrating with the team after a win at the bar and end up wandering off on your own and a guy hits on you? He’s immediately standing up and coming to your defence. Other than that, there isn’t much that makes him jealous.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
Macklin’s kisses are normally soft but when he knows he has time, he kisses you like he means it. He likes kissing all over your face and the top of your head. Macklin’s kisses are honestly everywhere, though. You like to kiss Macklin’s rosacea cheeks because they’re just so cute. He likes it when you kiss his biceps because it makes working out feel worthy.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
Macklin’s a good caregiver. He grew up with two younger siblings, so he knows how to deal with the majority of things. He stills helps out his youngest brother, RJ, with his homework and is one of Charlie’s biggest supporters. Even when his teammates need a babysitter, he’s one of the first to offer. (His teammates still think he’s one of the kids.)
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
At least ten minutes of cuddling before anyone leaves the bed. His rules. He also always reminds you to wake him up when you wake up because he likes to get up together. Depending on the time he wakes up, he’ll wake you too, but not always.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
Your night time routine is a shower, pajamas, skincare, sometimes reading, and then bedtime. Macklin just waits on you to finish up so he can cuddle up with you and fall asleep.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
Macklin just.. spills. It just all comes out on your fourth date. That was when he got comfortable, so he just told you everything. That’s something you cherish him for, his openness.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
Macklin doesn’t have much patience, he gets frustrated very easily and you end up having to calm him down. Especially after a grueling practice or game, his patience is so low and you give him princess treatment. You know how much he needs it, it’s really hard for him to balance everything.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
Macklin has a lot of memory, especially about you. One night you’ll be sleepily mumbling about something you saw and want, a few days later you see it on the counter while he’s at practice. You tell him he didn’t have to and he goes on a rant of how much you deserve to be appreciated with things like that.
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
His favourite memories with you are when you’re in Vancouver and you’re out with his family everyday and it’s just so awesome. Getting ice cream with you late at night, going boating, tanning, jumping into the lake, it's just a whirlwind of great memories together in Vancouver. Another one is in San Jose and you moved in together. The moment is just so… wholesome. Waking up with you, going to sleep with you, everything with you is just so much better.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Macklin is quite protective of you. When someone looks at you the wrong way or dares to touch you, he’s clutching you against his chest and instantly tensing up. If anyone says anything to you, he immediately pipes up. Not necessarily hostile, but definitely inserting dominance.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
Macklin would put effort into your dates because he wants to treat you properly. For anniversary dates, he goes all out. Balloons, flower petals, multiple gifts, the whole process. Now towards everyday tasks, he tries to do some house chores so you don’t have to, or wash your hair in the shower so you can relax. Even when his schedule is busy, he still tries.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
Not always washing his face with water when he wakes up! You always try to remind him and he does, but sometimes he forgets. It’s a bad habit and even he knows he needs to get rid of it, but he still needs reminders.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
Just as any other teenage boy, Macklin doesn’t really care. If he has a little breakout, he just goes to you for help because he knows you’ll take care of him. If he feels like he needs any skincare- straight to you.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
YES! Macklin has drafted you as a part of him and if he ever had to lose you, he’s going into a complete identity crisis. You are officially part of him on your one year anniversary. If you left that? It’s sooooo over for him. Even on road trips he doesn’t feel a hundred percent like himself without you.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
Before games, he needs to get three kisses, back to back, soft yet loving. It’s his ‘goodluck charm.’ For away games, take however many games he has times three, and that’s how many kisses you have to give him before he leaves.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
He doesn’t like when you go on Do Not Disturb, because then he can’t reach you and you don’t respond to his twenty something messages. (I’m so sorry I don’t know what else to write for this)
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
Cannot sleep without being wrapped around you. He runs like a furnace, but even on the hottest night of the year he can’t not touch you. That’d be cruel! On roadtrips, to get a full night's sleep, you have to be on the phone while he falls asleep.

Summary: Mack being a golden retriever in the relationship, played out in daily activities
Word Count: 1.0k
a/n: girl i LOVE mack :) if you look on my page thats my first posttttt. also mack being thought of as a golden retriever is so adorable im inlove. (also i need more requests, send some!!!)
The sound of the door opening startled you as you laid on the couch. You didn’t realize Macklin would be home this early.
His humming carried through the apartment as he set his bag down by the front of the door, sock feet padding through the threshold.
“Babe?” Mackilin called out and you could almost hear the pout in his voice when he couldn't see you as the first thing he saw when he walked in.
“In here!” You answered from the couch where you sat up and looked at him. Macklin was all soft, his hair a mess and sticking up in all directions. Probably from taking off his beanie. His eyes flitted over to you and he rushed to cuddle in beside you.
A huff escaped his mouth as he dropped half on top of you, his hand reaching over to bring your arm to rest on top of him. You giggled.
“Hard day?” You asked, bringing your other day to stroke his hair out of his face. He nuzzled into your hand like a dog. Smiling, you reached over and kissed the top of his head.
“Mmph, feet hurt,” He muttered, bringing his face to rest on your chest. You let him, beginning to scratch behind his ear which was the place you knew he loved.
The only words that managed to escape out of his mouth before his breathe evened out were, “Don’t stop..”
*****
“Baby,” he whispered while you were talking to your friends on the phone. Macklin was sprawled out on your body, his head on your chest and his hands starfished out.
You held a finger to your mouth, trying to pay attention to what your friend was saying. His bottom lip jutted out and he huffed before he started to dig his head into your chest. Mack was trying to reclaim your attention after your friend had called and interrupted his back scratch time.
“Hold on, give me a second,” You said to your friend, trying to sound polite. You put your mic on mute and turned to Macklin. “What’s so important you can’t let me talk to my friend for ten minutes without clawing at me?”
Macklin let out a high pitched whimper from the back of his throat. “I want scratches again.. Tell your friend you're busy.. Please?” He drew out the e.
You shook your head and muted your mic, going back to talk with your friend. Macklin wondered how you could deny him of something he was so desperate for. Why couldn’t you see he was dying for it? He was right there and yet you didn’t pay any attention to him. His brain couldn’t comprehend why you wouldn’t just love him instead of talking to your friends.
When you finally hung up with your friend after Macklin’s constant digging into your stomach, he immediately piped up and looked expectantly at you. “Scratches now?”
You sighed, “Yes, baby, but you can’t do that next time, okay?” He immediately nodded his head and shuffled himself up so his face was back in your next.
A muffled, “Promise,” came out of his mouth and you resumed your scratches on his back, even if you know this’ll totally happen again.
*****
You pull on your shoes and grab your keys when suddenly you feel big arms wrap around you from behind.
“Mack, I’m going for a walk, you coming?” When you first got out of bed, he wasn’t even awake so you left a note and expected him to see it after you left, but here he is. You felt him instantly nod against your neck. “Go on and get ready, then. I’ll wait here.”
Macklin rushed back to the bedroom, still not saying a word. Once he was ready and dressed, he came back out and threaded his fingers through yours.
“Why didn’t you wake me up, baby. Y’know I don’t like to wake up without you..” He trailed off and when you looked over you saw his bottom lip poking out of his mouth.
You stifled a laugh. “I’m sorry, Macky. Just wanted to get some steps in before our plans later. I left a note for you, did you see it?” Opening the door, you stepped out and he was on your heels.
Macklin pressed the elevator button. “No. Wanted to see you before you left without me. Where are we walking?” Both of you stepped into the elevator and ordered it down.
“Over to that new cafe on the corner by the rink. Remember the one I was talking about last night?” He nodded and you stepped out into the lobby.
Feeling the fresh air on your face, you audibly sighed. Macklin looked over and laughed at the sight of you with closed eyes and a relaxed face.
You opened your eyes and looked back at him laughing at you. “What? It’s nice to get outside.”
“Indeed it is.” Your neighbour's puppy came barreling towards you guys, your neighbour out of breath yet still trying to catch the pup.
You and Macklin both laughed, Macklin dropping to his knees to catch the small dog.
“Hi, boy! Awww, who's a good pup? Is it you? Is it you?” You smiled at the sight of Macklin cooing at the puppy in his arms. He cradled the dog and you felt your heart warming.
The dog barked up at Macklin and licked viciously at his face. Once your neighbour caught up, everyone was laughing at the sight of big ol’ hockey guy Macklin Celebrini with a small little puppy who was practically layering his face with doggy slobber.
Looking at them now, it reminds you of all the ways Macklin’s like a little dog. Maybe a golden retriever? Yeah, that sounds about right. Your smile widens, thinking about his reaction when you tell him the similarities later.

also, welcome! i’m really excited to see your future works. :)
William Eklund x reader
Summary: short and sweet blurb/fic where william takes you out for an intimate dinner :)
Warnings; none!!!
Word Count: 0.6k
a/n: eventually my writing WILL get longer, i'm manifesting it. also, thank you for the request!!! please send more i'm BEGGING. who's watching the sharks tonight!?!
It all started with your phone buzzing with a message from him.
Get ready. Picking you up at seven, don’t worry about making dinner.
Reading the text, you smiled to yourself, thinking about how sweet he is making plans on his own with his busy schedule. And hey, as long as you didn’t have to cook tonight, you weren’t worried about a thing.
An hour and a half later, you were all dressed and ready to go out. You finished applying lipgloss and smiled to yourself in the mirror. A knock sounded at the door, and you almost burst with excitement. It was reasonable, right? You hadn’t seen him in almost a week because of a road trip he had. Opening the door, you almost lunged into his arms. Instead, you grinned at him before hugging him.
“Hi baby!” You kissed his cheek and hugged him.
“Hi sweetheart,” he exhaled into your hair. He took your hand in his as you pulled away and brought you to his car parked in your driveway.
“Was s’lonely without you..” You trailed off as he opened the passenger door for you.
Twenty minutes later, you arrived at your guys’ favourite French restaurant in the area. The waitress brought you to a table and you took a seat.
“So pretty, babe. Missed you in my arms in the cold hotel rooms,” He admitted sheepishly. William shook his head and took both of your hands in his. “Don’t even need to look at the menu to know what to eat,” He teased.
“Gosh forbid a girl knows what she likes,” you replied, giggling slightly. “I think we're becoming regulars, baby. We might need to find somewhere else to start eating.”
Both of you laughed and the waitress came back to the table. You both ordered, same as always, and you took in the way he looked in the candle light.
The restaurant was only small, but they took their atmosphere very seriously. Looking around, there were very few people in the dim lighting. It was a very intimate restaurant and you only knew of it because of one of William’s teammates. The candle light was very attractive and the place was beautiful. There were three waitresses circling around, maintaining the customers. You smiled to yourself, pride taking over you as you realized how beautiful this place really is.
“Whatcha thinking about, huh?” William’s voice snapped you out of your daze.
“Oh, just how beautiful this place is,” you hummed. “It’s so nice. I’m happy to be here with you.
His gaze softened and he smiled softly at you. “Always happy to be with you.”
You stared into his eyes and took in the way they glimmered in the candle light. This is what you loved about him, even if you don’t admit it out loud.

When Macklin had left bed that morning, you were still in it. It was Saturday, so well deserved. Once he finished getting ready, he kissed your forehead goodbye and headed off to the rink.
Now, hours later, Macklin was finally coming home. He imagined you might be out by now, possibly at your favourite cafe. But you would’ve texted by now, no?
Dropping his practice bag off at the door, he carried himself throughout your tiny apartment in San Jose. It was a bit chilly in the apartment, you must be out right now. He decided to still call out, in case you were there. “Babe? You home?”
That was when he heard your small voice from the bedroom. “Mack?” Breathe. “Can you c’mere?”
Taking off his sweater, he rushed to your shared bedroom to find you still in bed, the covers right to your nose. “What happened? Feeling alright?” He sits on the bed beside you, pulling the covers down to reveal more of your face.
Sniffle. “M’throat hurts…” Macklin stroked your hair back from out of your face. “Aww, baby. Let me get you some water, okay? I’ll put some honey in and be right back.” He kissed your forehead before getting up.
Rushing out of the room, you turned over onto your side, feeling your throat ache as you waited for Macklin and his warmth to come back. When Macklin returned, he carried a glass of water, honey jar, a spoon, and your favourite chocolate. He placed them on your beside table, he lifted you up into his arms and sat back down on the bed with you.
“Got some water for you, yeah...” He held it to your lips. “Take a sip, baby.” You winced as you sipped it. Macklin kissed your temple. “Mm, now how about some honey and then chocolate, yeah? Then I’ll cuddle you back to bed, sweetheart.”
“M’kay…” you responded, snuggling into his chest. Wrapping one arm around you, Macklin used his other hand to take some honey out. He held it to your lips. You took the spoon between your lips and let out a sleepy hum.
Macklin nuzzled his face into your hair and retracted the spoon. “C’mere sweetheart.. You wanna try to eat the chocolate or just wanna cuddle?”
“Just want cuddles.. M’tired. Missed you at practice…” He hummed and sunk deeper into the bed into a laying position. “Yeah? Missed you too. Looked so sweet when I left this morning.” Macklin kissed your hairline.
As your breathing slowed and your body turned soft into Macklin, he knew one thing for sure. No matter what you felt, he’d always be there as your caretaker.
