Been on vacation and combined with spending all day in the sun and seeing will smith burnt on the 4th of July, I’ve come to Billy post.
It’s mid July and Mack, Will and Billy are visiting Will’s family at the Cape after being in Vancouver for a little while. And Will wants to do a beach day bc Billy’s finally old enough to maybe start having fun at the beach. So he gets a whole bunch of beach toys, gets a beach tent so Billy isn’t in the sun all day, brings a massive cooler with snacks. Like Will had this all planned out to the minute.
And when he wants to take Billy to the water to look for shells, it’s all perfect until Mack’s like “Billy we have to put sunscreen on before we can go with dada, ok?”
Except Billy’s like “no. Dada doesn’t wear sunscreen so I don’t need it” and Will’s burnt ass face and shoulders are enough proof of this. So Will instantly feels Mack’s eyes snap to him and he knows he’s not getting out of this situation without being absolutely slathered in sunscreen.
Mack’s like “dada’s just about to put his on, isn’t that right?”
And Will knows he doesn’t have a choice, not with the way Mack’s looking at him so pointedly. But god does he hate sunscreen. Hates how it feels, hates how it smells. He just prefers to burn. That ain’t gonna work for their toddler.
So he puts on a smile for Billy’s sake and sits down, expecting Mack to get his torture over quick. Wrong. Mack absolutely smears it on, just a thick ass layer of baby sunscreen that Will can feel making his skin all sticky and gross. But Billy’s watching and he has to do it for his baby, so he deals with it.
It gets even worse bc Mack asks Billy to help make sure dada’s face is covered and then less than a minute later, his sons’s sticky little hands are smearing sunscreen all over his face while he just giggles and giggles his little heart out.
He risks poking an eye open to see Mack very gently rubbing sunscreen across Billy’s chubby cheeks, his arms and the areas that his swim shirt doesn’t cover, while Will’s just trying to gently guide Billy’s hands to not get any in his eyes or his nose.
“See Billy? You and dada have your sunscreen on now!”
And when Billy agrees, that he’s “just like dada!” Will can’t even complain bc his son is his world and he’d do anything for. Even endure being poked and prodded at by little hands. It gets the job done and Mack’s grinning from ear to ear as he gets Billy’s bucket hat on and sends them off, knowing that Wills face is just smeared in poorly applied sunscreen, but at least Billy’s all covered and that’s what really matters.
