WIP Wednesday | WillMack pain kink

The pain - the way it twists into pleasure until they feel one and the same - is the greatest kind of high. 

Will increases the pressure on Mack’s wrist and a flare of pain lights him up as Mack pushes, letting the rough pad of his thumb rub intently at the purple skin. 

“Fuck,” Mack breathes, looking up. He’s quiet for a moment, eyes roving over Will’s face, searching for something. “You’re really into this,” he says. He pushes harder at the bruise. 

Will shudders as the pain spikes and blossoms outward, heat flaring in his face and spreading through him. He’s not above putting on a show. He lets his head fall back, exposing his throat. He wants Mack to see him, the full truth of what he likes and what it does to him. The pain is hot-wired to pleasure in his brain, in his body, a hum of sensation jolting through him on a current of electricity.

can you also talk about why mack was easily able to adapt playing wing? like i thought he would take a few games to get used to playing wing at the olympics but he clicked immediately. what about mack’s skills made him good at wing too? because as many people know it’s kind of hard to play as davo’s winger.

Again, Macklin is kind of an anomaly lol.

(More after the cut)

He's said in interviews that he watches & tries to emulate players that he likes, which basically means he's studying them to figure out what makes them tick & mapping out their patterns. So when he first moved to wing at Worlds last year to play with Crosby, he already had a strong understanding of Crosby's play. (It also helps that they have such a similar style.) It took Mack a bit to adjust though. He passed too much, should have taken more shots on net instead of trying to get the puck back to Crosby.

I think he learned a lot from that experience when he played on McDavid's wing at the Olympics. You could see the increased confidence, like he absolutely did not shy away from taking shots himself. And I'm sure Mack has also watched McDavid for years, knows his style of play & had the ability to adapt to what McDavid needed.

Mack's hockey sense is incredible, he understands pace of play & has the ability to speed up or slow down the game as needed. He's wildly adaptable. As a kid he played defense before he moved to center, and I think that helped him see the game from a different perspective & gain a broader sense of how to play.

I also think moving around from team to team through his youth forced him to quickly analyze his teammates & learn the best way to play with them. A lot of kids stay on the same team with the same teammates for years and years. Mack went from Vancouver to San Jose to Shattuck to Chicago to BU to the Sharks. 6 different teams in 6 years. Each time, he needed to learn how to work with a whole new set of people.

(I know you didn't ask, but again I'd like to point out that Will played with the same line during his most critical developmental years, and how that has been a detriment to his NHL development.)

One last thing with Mack. Everyone says how humble he is. There are guys who would refuse to move from center to wing, because they see themselves as centers and that's that. Mack doesn't appear to have an ego. He goes where he's asked & does what's best for the team. That attitude is honestly part of what makes him such a great player.

So yeah, that's my best guess on why Mack can so easily slot into that winger role. Thanks for the ask!

i genuinely feel so emotional over this

WIP Wednesday | WillMack | more pain kink

“What are you gonna do about it, Mack?” Aiming for bravado, Will’s voice comes out soft and genuine. He doesn’t know what to hope for. It would be less complicated if they sleep it off. In the morning, Mack can pretend he never saw Leno’s teeth marks on his hip and Will can pretend to want normal things.

Mack’s having a full-blown awakening mere inches from him, eyes roaming over the marks on Will’s skin, up his throat to his lips, his eyes, his wet hair and back down to where Will is fully tenting his slacks now, hard and revved up.

In typical Mack fashion, he responds with a challenge in his eyes and a stubborn set to his jaw. A flare of awareness and anticipation rolls through Will. “What would you let me do?”

[elliebirdwrites]

Nothing kicks me out of an otherwise well-written fic faster than Will suddenly calling Mack baby every other word.

[napalmvanity]

Just love when someone makes these 😹

One day Will Smith Hockey will stop sharing his fun side quests cause people don’t know how to be normal about him. Roasting the fuck out of everything he does is not normal

WIP Wednesday | WillMack | pain kink

Will turns toward the bed without thinking, his back to Mack. He’s bare to the waist for less than five seconds before he hears Mack hiss, “Smitty, what the fuck.”

Will turns to face Mack, putting the worst of it out of sight, but it’s not much of an improvement. He has a series of bite marks beneath his belly button, pink, tender nipples from Leno’s teeth and there’s whisker burn down his right side because Will gets so fucking hard when Leno buries his face in Will’s armpit. 

Will’s not ashamed, embarrassed or any number of things someone with a hidden pain kink might be when facing their best friend with scratch marks and blossoming bruises on their skin. He suspects it’s not the first time Mack’s caught him with a pink mark at the base of his throat, or a bruise on his hip not easily dismissed as a hockey injury. It is the first time Will has decided fuck it and let the scope of his proclivities be known.
