more of sadie crosby and macklin celebrini for you all. this was sooooo fun to write.
warning: none, just some shy flirting :)
word count: 3.1k
The next time they see each other is at the 2024 NHL Draft in Vegas. Sadie, having grown up as the princess of the NHL, is such a personality within the community. She's the girl everyone wants to see, so she was invited to the draft as a result.
After she followed Macklin back, the two of them kept up with each other through social media. They didn't speak directly to each other often, sometimes a casual 'congrats' was given, but they liked each other's posts and commented if they felt compelled. It was the talk of the town for a long time, but it quickly became just another mute point.
Once talk of the draft started intensifying, Sadie heard Macklin's name everywhere. He was inescapable--even her dad was talking about him, which is the world's biggest compliment. Sidney Crosby can't pump anyone's tires for the life of him, but it's hard not to when you're talking about a guy who won the Hobey Baker at 17 years old. It was obvious to everyone that he was going 1st overall. Everyone was just waiting for the moment.
When Sadie was invited to the draft, she happily agreed, eager to experience the draft as a functioning human being. She'd been when she was a little girl, but not since then, so she was excited for what was to come. What made it all the more special was the fact that her little friend from Boston, Vancouver, rather, was the one to see.
She showed up in a simple black dress. It had a jewel neckline and came down to just a little under the middle of her thighs. She wore a simple pair of black kitten heels with silver hardware and some black mini-sunglasses. The front sections of her hair were pinned back behind her ears with silver clips and the rest was loosely curled down her back. She looked beautiful, like the princess she really was.
From the moment she arrived (without her father) people were staring at her. The women there looked on lovingly at the stunning girl who they'd watched grow up, wishing she was their daughter. Older men ogled her like the creeps they are, appreciating her slender legs and toned arms. Some of them meant no harm by it, reacting the same way as some of the women, but a lot of them were disgusting with their shamelessness. Every single one of the young, aspiring players that she saw tried their best not to stare but they all failed miserably. They didn't realize how hard it was to resist watching Sadie Crosby in her natural habitat. Their eyes followed her as she said hellos and paid respects to those she owed it to; some of them were brave enough to say hello themselves. In reality, they had nothing to be afraid of, she was as sweet as pie, but their heart-shattering crushes made them too anxious.
While all these other men and women were staring at Sadie, she was only looking for one person. Macklin Celebrini.
Macklin was staying in the Venetian with his family, which was where he was until he headed for the opening ceremony. The hotel was connected to the Sphere, via the indoor bridgeway, which connected to a lobby and then the main halls. He stood in front of the mirror near the door, fixing his tie and making sure he looked fine. His younger sister was sitting on a stool in the room on her phone when she gasped and shot up from her position.
"Oh my God!" Charlie exclaimed, jaw dropping and eyes widening. "Sadie Crosby is here." She informed with the most serious expression on her face, shoving her phone into her younger brother's face. Macklin's neck whipped in their direction, hands freezing on his tie.
His family knew about her guest appearance at his game only months prior, and they knew that the two of them followed each other on social media. But, it was a one-off scenario that nobody, including Macklin, thought would ever go further than that. He was just on the right team, in the right place, at the right time. Luck was all that gave him that experience.
"No way!" RJ shouted, jumping up from his position and stealing Charlie's phone out of her hand. There must be a picture or something, Macklin thought, trying to focus on readying himself for the ceremony, not his childhood crush.
"I'm gonna be in the same room as Sadie Crosby," Charlie said exasperatedly, overcome with excitement at the possibility of meeting her. RJ snorted and swiped at more pictures of her.
"You're telling me, dude," he laughed zooming in on a few pictures. Sadie had been RJ's celebrity crush for his entire life. Sadie was six years older than him and had been the love of his life since the first time he saw her. She's Canadian royalty, what Canadian boy wasn't in love with her when they were little?
"Dude, don't zoom in," Macklin stepped forward and snatched the phone from his hand. "That's disrespectful." He reprimanded before tilting the phone toward his own eyes.
Half of him didn't believe that she was really there. She hadn't been since she was, like, nine years old. It would've been an insane coincidence if she came for the first time in nine years the year that Macklin was draft-eligible. But when he saw the photos and videos of her in the building, he got a strange feeling. Serendipity.
"'That's disrespectful'," RJ mocked, taking the phone back and handing it to Charlie. "You're the one staring, weirdo." He teased, smirking to himself as he fished his own phone from his pocket.
"I'm not staring," Macklin refuted, turning back to the mirror and fixing his tie again. "I just didn't believe you guys." In that moment, his dad came out of the other suite and clapped his hands on Mack's shoulders.
"Ready, kid?" He smiled in the mirror, eyebrows raising and lips folding inward. Mack took a deep breath in and nodded.
"Yep," his own lips folded into his mouth and he looked down as he turned. Rick's hands came back down onto his shoulders, clapping them a few times.
"You look good, son," he complimented, removing his hands and fixing his tie again. There was nothing wrong with it, it was just a joint-compulsion they both had.
"Yeah, it looks good," he agreed as his family started gathering in the entry way to head to the Sphere. "I don't really know, but I don't really care either. I don't know." He rambled, looking anywhere but his family. He received a collective chuckle from everyone in the room and then they headed out to the hallway.
God please don't let him see Sadie Crosby before the ceremony. He thought as they journeyed through the bridge way to the Sphere. His hands clenched and unclenched as they hung at his sides, his long strides taking him farther than his family, who he kept slowing down to stay beside.
Someone opened the double doors from the hallway for him, which took him to a lobby/hall where people were mingling, rich laughs echoing in his ears. His eyes scanned the room while his family gasped and awwed around him. He spun around slowly, taking everything in, backing away from his family when he did so. However, his no-look-spin was a mistake in such a crowded room, when he back-pedaled right into another human being.
Macklin heard a faint gasp and a tiny 'oh my god' behind him and he turned so fast, he could've broken his neck. "I'm so sorry," he apologized quickly, hands flying out to catch whoever he just pushed. His hand wrapped around the girl's bicep gently, who was still looking down, trying not to drop her purse. "I'm such an idiot, I'm sorry." He doubled down on the apology, not realizing who she was.
"No, you're okay," the girl giggled, seemingly fine, as if nothing happened. Macklin could recognize that sweet voice anywhere. "I'm fine." She reassured him, finally looking up at him. His lips parted slightly in shock, and an inaudible gasp left him.
"Sadie," he said her name, brows raising in shock. Her name was the only thing he could think of. The rest of his mind was blank, which was exactly why he didn't want to see her before the ceremony.
"Macklin," she mimicked with a coolness about her, something effortless. They both just looked at each other for a moment, neither of them saying anything. When Macklin realized he was still holding tight onto her bicep, wrapping his hand entirely around it, he let go and stuck it out to shake hers instead. She huffed a tiny laugh and stuck her own hand out to delicately shake his strong one.
"It's, uh, it's good to see you," he smiled warmly at her as his family looked on from three feet away. Charlie was frozen, RJ was frozen, Aiden was fine, and his parents were smiling at the interaction.
"Likewise," she returned. Her eyes raked down his appearance and she stepped back to take his tall figure in fully. "Lookin' spiffy for your calm first overall selection day, eh?" She teased, returning to her original positioning in front of him. His cheeks flushed slightly and he nervously brushed his hair back.
"I mean, I don't know about that, but," he denied, not wanting to sound cocky or overconfident. He knew he was going first overall, but he didn't know. Sadie just gave him a 'duh' look an titled her head.
"Dude, come on," she squinted at him, dropping her head and looking at him through her brows. He just smiled shyly at her, cheeks staying flushed the longer she looked at him. As she looked at him, she realized how much older he looked. That time she had seen him was only just over six months ago, but he did some growing up in those short months. Something about him was more manly, like he was starting to leave his boyishness behind. She had to admit, he was a beautiful boy.
"I didn't know you were gonna be here," he admitted, scratching his jaw and pocketing the other. "My siblings told me earlier and I honestly didn't believe them." He gestured to his family, which Sadie peaked around him to see. Charlie smiled widely and waved, as did Aiden and their parents, but RJ was still frozen. Sadie returned their smiles and waved at them as well.
"Yeah, I didn't know I was either," she did the same hair flip over her shoulder that she did the first time they met. "Not until, like, a week ago, at least."
"Wow, they told you that late?" Macklin asked, shocked at their lack of planning. But was he really shocked? No, not really.
He took more time to take in her appearance as she answered. She never didn't look beautiful, but she was glowing that night. Black was definitely one of her colors. It complimented her own black hair so well and made her tan skin shimmer in contrast. Her big brown eyes and plump lips were like big glowing signs that were yelling at Macklin to keep staring them.
"Yeah, I was a little surprised too, but, I don't know," she laughed. "I haven't been since I was probably nine years old, so, I was shocked they even wanted me here. It must have been a last minute decision or something, otherwise they would have told me sooner. I wonder what made them choose to invite me." She rhetorically questioned, looking up and to her right as she thought.
Macklin licked his lips and furrowed his brows when her neck was exposed, the skin glittery and shiny and smooth. They immediately returned to her face when she looked back at him. He thought he got away with it, but the Crosbys never missed anything.
"Is it just you?" Macklin asked curiously, silently hoping Sid was around the corner or down the hall.
"Yep, just me," she nodded in confirmation. "Dad's not the biggest fan of this stuff anymore, and the league knows it. They just invite me to everything instead. He's back home right now."
Macklin smiled at how casually she spoke of Sidney Crosby, simply referencing him as 'Dad'.
"No, I get it," he nodded, blinking rapidly. "It's sick you're here now, though."
"I know," she beamed, tilting her head again. She was excited to be there for Macklin's draft. It was destined to be a huge part of hockey history, and she knew that. She was elated to be invited for it. "When I got the invitation, I was ten-times more excited because I knew you were the 'projected first overall'." She air-quoted the last bit, because it was less of a projection and more of a concrete fact. She just had to say projected for the politics of it all. She noticed his cheeks turn slightly pink and shy smile crash onto his face.
"That means a lot," he said quietly as his eyes raked over her features again. She looked so much like her dad but also not at all. It was a unique kind of beauty that was undeniable to anyone who looked at her. He heard his little sister clear her throat behind him, which made him turn his upper body toward his family. Charlie tight-lipped a smile at him, silently demanding he introduce them.
"Oh, uh, this is my family."
Macklin slid out of the way, leaving space between Sadie and his family. RJ was frozen, Aiden and his parents were smiling warmly, and Charlie was smiling like she just won a million bucks.
"Hi, I'm Sadie," she smiled and took a step toward them. She extended her hand to his mother and father, who shook it graciously. Even though she was only 18, her parents held a lot of respect for her. "Your son is a phenomenal athlete."
Robyn and Rick smiled even bigger at her, nodding in agreement. "We tell him everyday," Robyn joked, which Rick joined in on.
"It's nice to hear someone else say it," he laughed. Sadie laughed as well, but quickly disagreed.
"Plenty of people are saying it, trust me," she informed, moving onto his siblings. She shook Aiden's hand, who smiled at her politely, as he already had a girlfriend and was older than Sadie. She said hello to RJ, who could barely form a proper sentence, only producing the quietest 'Hi' anybody has ever heard. When she got to Charlie, it was a different story.
"Hi, I'm Charlie, I'm a huge fan," she beamed and shook Sadie's hand vigorously, making her entire arm shake violently. Macklin gritted his teeth at her from behind Sadie, which made Charlie look over Sadie's shoulder at him with a nervous look. Sadie then looked over her own shoulder at him, making Mack drop the look of disapproval and smile and nod. Sadie's gaze lingered on him for a moment before she looked back at Charlie, who had stopped shaking her arm but hadn't let go of her hand.
"Oh, you're so sweet," she smiled, cupping Charlie's hand with both of her own. "And beautiful. All of you six are gorgeous human beings," Sadie complimented before focusing on Charlie again. "Also, if you're anything like your big brother back there, I'm gonna be a big fan of yours too."
"Oh, don't go pumping the kid's tires now," Rick teased, gaining a laugh from the group that Sadie participated in. Macklin stepped forward discreetly, appearing at Sadie's side.
"I'm not pumping anybody's tires," she denied with a head shake. "I'm just being honest. He's special, this one." She tapped his forearm with the back of her hand.
"She plays tennis, actually," Macklin changed the subject, gesturing to his sister. "Internationally ranked, unreal player." He complimented, visibly proud of his little sister. Sadie looked up at him from the side, taking in the beauty of his family pride. He was such a loving person, she could already tell.
"What are they feeding the kids in North Vancouver?" Sadie joked, acting confused. This family was just something different, full of life and talent. Inside she knew the answer: money. But it was still fun to joke around.
"Sorry to interrupt, but, Miss Crosby, some people from TSN want to speak with you," a person with an earpiece tapped her shoulder, which stole her attention.
"Oh, gosh, we're probably holding you up," Robyn apologized in her thick Canadian accent. Sadie waved her off with a smile.
"Not at all, don't worry about a thing," she reassured. "It was great meeting you guys, you're all amazing people, I can already tell." She generalized, beginning her goodbye.
"It was great to meet you," Rick returned, shaking her hand again. "You don't get to meet one of the Crosbys everyday." For once, Sadie was the one blushing. Everyone makes such a big deal about who her dad is and she always forgets how important he is to people.
Sadie turned to Mack who was standing silently beside her. She placed a small, gentle hand on his impressive bicep, "Good luck, up there. Just look right into the lights and you won't see all the people." She jokingly advised with a serious look on her face. Macklin covered her hand with his own and gave it some gentle pats.
"Thanks," he huffed a laugh, tapping her hand again. "I might not see you after the ceremony, so, uh, bye, I guess." He murmured nervously, struggling to make the sentence make sense. Sadie got the point and giggled cutely.
"Probably not, so, uh, bye, I guess," she echoed mockingly, which made Macklin blush again with a shy grin. "Maybe I'll find you. Maybe I'll text you. Either way my congratulations will be extended," she smiled with her white teeth and plump lips that she inherited from her father.
She removed her hand from his bicep and she waved them goodbye, Mack and her holding eye contact as she was guided away by the agent.
"Oh. My. God," Charlie's jaw dropped as she watched Sadie walk away. "I just talked to Sadie Crosby. She called me beautiful." She said, her head whipping from her mom to her dad.
"She's even more beautiful in person," RJ said to himself but loud enough that everyone heard. "And she touched me." He brought his hand to his eyes and stared at the skin. Macklin smiled at their childhood antics.
"She is beautiful, isn't she?" Robyn looked knowingly at her son, and Rick smiled in the same way. Macklin rolled his eyes and turned away his family, exhaling to himself as they teased him behind his back, all going crazy about Sidney Crosby's daughter.
Holy shit, he thought to himself, how am I gonna keep this girl in my life?

Thinking about Mack and Crosby!daughter ... Let's call her Sadie
//
//
They met when Macklin was at Boston University. Growing up the way she did, with hockey being at the forefront of everything, she loved everything about the culture. Living on the East Coast, eastern college hockey was one of her favorite things on the planet.
One fall, her friends and her decided to go on a little trip to Boston. They have a home game when they're supposed to be in town. Sadie obviously knew about BU's history and the team they had assembled, and she most definitely heard about this 17-year-old kid who was tearing up the NCAA. She begged her friends to come to the game with her and they happily agreed.
Somehow, some way, word got around that she was coming to a game, and the staff at BU reached out to invite her to tour the facilities and meet some of their coaches and representatives. She gratefully accepted the invitation and showed up early to chat with them. She's basically hockey royalty, even though she doesn't really play, so the second anyone heard she was in town, they wanted to see her. I mean, it's Sidney Crosby's kid.
When she got there, she was introduced to the head and assistant coaches, a few trainers, and some other reps she didn't know. They showed her around parts of the campus, around their training facilities, and around their restricted areas. For a 17-year-old, she's amazing at socializing and everyone there loves her. But, turned out, word got around the locker room, too, that the Crosby' kid was coming and all those boys begged to meet her.
Would you be open to talking to some of the players this afternoon? One of the trainers asked her gently, not forcing her to do anything. They didn't promise that they could get her to agree, but they promised that they'd ask. Sadie being Sadie, just like her dad, one of the nicest people on the planet, she agreed with no hesitation.
She turned the corner of one of their hallways and was met with a crowd of about 15 to 20 college-aged hockey players. They were all whispering to each other, shushing each other, and smacking each other's arms when they saw her walking their way. A bunch of 19-20-year-olds freaking out about a 17-year-old girl. How odd.
They all excitedly introduced themselves, shaking her hand with a shaking hand while they towered over her, half-dressed in their skates. She could feel people video taping the interactions, so she made sure to be polite but not too nice; she didn't need any rumors in her life. She said hello and took a few pictures with people, before she saw the kid she'd heard so much about.
"I know you," she declared, with a tiny squint and soft smile on her face. Macklin froze in place before he pointed to his chest. She noticed some of the other guys looking in their direction, glancing at each other curiously.
"Me?" He clarified, face flushing, slightly fearful but also excited that she knew who he was. He was dressed in only his hockey pants and long-sleeve compression shirt, his hair messy and voluminous from changing. He felt so not put together and it was making him wonder if it was disrespectful. The last thing he wanted to do was disrespect Sidney Crosby's daughter.
"I don't have a lazy eye, do I? I thought I was looking right at you," she teased, with a tiny laugh, covering her eye and stepping a bit closer to him. Macklin's face dropped in horror, all color and warmth draining from his face as quickly as it arrived. He didn't know what look must have been on his face, but it had to have been bad, because within an instant, her face dropped too, and she reached out with a comforting hand on his forearm. "I was just messing with you," she quickly assured, her face softening to tell him he's okay. "And yes, I was talking about you." She pulled her hand away and threw her hair over her shoulder before hooking her hand in her belt loop.
Macklin's eyes watched as she fixed her hair and then dropped quickly to follow her hand before he looked back up, "How do you know who I am?" He asked, with a shy smile and nervous chuckle. "Like, I obviously know who you are, but you know me?" He nervously scratched his jaw, and Sadie's eyes followed his hand up there, tracing his sharp jawline and masculine cheekbones.
"Yeah, of course I do," she deadpanned like it was obvious, popping a hip to make herself more comfortable, but it only made her shorter in front of him. She had to crane her neck just to make eye contact with him. "You think I wouldn't hear about some fellow 17-year-old Canadian in Hockey East, who's on an absolute tear, by the way," she sneaked in the compliment, tilting her head in recognition. "I don't pull this card often, but, Sidney Crosby's my dad. I know everything about everything about hockey. Yes, I know you are." She told him, clocking the onlooking crowd of hockey players and coaches around her, as well as the likelihood that this was being recorded and would end up on Twitter in 5 minutes. "I honestly might be more starstruck than you right now."
Macklin shook his head immediately, licking his lips before speaking. "No way," he refuted, still shaking his head, and then scratching his jaw again and shaking his hair off his forehead. "Absolutely no shot. If you knew how much all of us begged for this to happen," he hypothesized, gesturing to the guys around him, which earned a collective laugh of embarrassment. "I feel so undignified, it's terrible. There's just no way you're more excited about this than me."
"I'll take your word for it," she squinted with another smile that made his heart flutter and his ears heat up. He didn't think that he had any chance of actually getting to know this girl in the long-run, but he knew they're the exact same age. If any guy on the team had even the slightest chance, it's him.
He smiled shyly back at her, cheeks pink and pinches slightly to his eyes, "So, why are you in Boston?" He interrogated, brows furrowing in interest.
"I was just here with a couple friends, checking out the city. I came here a lot as a kid but we didn't venture out much. Pretty much stuck to hotels and dinners." She explained, clearing her throat quietly. "I remember really liking what I did see, so I figured it would be fun to come and see more of it."
"Yeah, yeah, Boston's great," Mack agreed, nodding and leaning back a little bit. "I've been here for a few months now, and I love it. Same thing with me, I don't see too much of the city 'cause of hockey and everything, but I love it here."
"You've gotta love it to be playing this good," she tilted her head at him as she spoke, like it's obvious. His cheeks reddened more, and he tucked his lips into his mouth in a tight, shy smile.
"Uh, sure, yeah," he nervously scratched the back of his neck and then his jaw, again. They held eye contact with each other for a moment before Sadie broke the silence.
"Well, you should probably get ready for your game," she turned to the clock on the wall ahead of her. "And I should get out of your guys' hair, so," she stepped forward again and Mack reached his hand out to shake hers. His large, veiny hand enveloped hers and it wasn't lost on either of them, though they didn't say anything.
"Yeah, thanks so much for coming, this meant a lot to our group," he thanked politely, letting her hand go gently and brushing his hair back with the same hand. The guys around them echoed his gratitude and some took a few steps forward to shake her hand again.
"Wait, let's get a picture of all of you," one of the staff members suggested, gesturing with her hands for everyone to gather round. "Sadie, front and center, of course."
The guys got into position around her with ease, almost like they planned this. There were five guys on either side of her and at least ten behind her. Macklin was right beside her. A couple photos were taken, some with phones, some with professional cameras, and then the guys expressed their gratitude once more before shuffling into their locker room.
Sadie was escorted out of the tunnel area and down to the arena, where crowds were already starting to pile. The staff at BU hooked Sadie and her friends up with ice-level tickets right in front of the glass. Sadie assured them that she and her friends were fine with their original seats but the staff insisted that the Crosby family only gets the best.
She was featured on the Jumbo-tron more times than she could count on both hands and feet, and people came up to her left and right for autographs or pictures. She's not even a hockey player, just the daughter of a really good one. She really is the people's princess.
The game went by quickly, with BU up by 2 in the first, then 1 early in the second, but then 2 again at the end. Macklin scored a goal and got two assists in the first two periods, but ended up scoring another goal and getting an assist in the third for a solid 5-point-night. The Terriers won a final score of 5-2.
When the game was over, security guards approached her and requested she come back into the tunnel, as the team wanted to celebrate with their new friend. She went down and spotted the crowd of sweaty hockey players, who were all excitedly awaiting her return. They all cheered and whooped and jumped around after their big win, with Mack being shoved to the middle of everything next to Sadie.
"5 points, dude," she shoved his shoulder, but he barely budged. Kids built like a brick wall, which isn't talked about enough. He laughed and shook his sweaty hair off his forehead. "Not bad, huh?" She smiled at him, which he graciously returned.
After the excitement fizzled out slightly, and some of the players disappeared to change, Macklin was called back by one of the staff members. Sadie watched the interaction form afar, speaking casually to a different rep. Mack looked over his shoulder at the girl and then back at whoever he was talking to. She saw the coach tug on the bottom of his jersey, which Macklin then peeled off and pulled over his head. The coach started walking toward Sadie, and Macklin followed, both of them inching closer.
"Miss. Crosby," the coach began, but Sadie corrected him.
"Sadie's fine."
"Sadie," he smiled warmly, "Macklin wanted to gift you this jersey. Game-worn and everything. If you don't want it, you, of course, don't have to take it."
Macklin extended his arm with the jersey slung over it. Sadie looked at the red and white sweater with M. Celebrini on the back and a wide smile found it's way onto her glowing face.
"Oh my goodness, of course I'll take it," she exclaims, grabbing the jersey from off of his arm. She leans in to hug the sweaty boy with one arm, the side of her face pressing into his firm chest. He wraps an arm around her as well, squeezing her once, then twice for good measure. Internally? He's freaking out.
Holy fucking shit. Sadie Crosby is hugging me right now.
"Thank you so much, oh my God," she pulled back, holding the large jersey out in front of her. She tosses it up and grabs the hem to throw it over her body. She was swimming in the thing and it came all the way down to her mid-thighs, but she pulled it off somehow. "How do I look?" She put her hands on her hips and gave a little spin.
Macklin chuckled and smiled at her, "Amazing. Like you could've been skating out there with us." He teased, pushing his sweaty hair back. His brows furrow for a moment before he says, "Probably actually could've, eh?" He laughs with a smile, remembering that her dad is literally Sidney Crosby.
"Maybe," she says smugly before shaking her head. "Honestly, probably not. You guys are huge, I'd be dead." She joked but she was half-serious. Macklin laughed at her statement nodding in agreement with one eye squinted as he thought about what she said.
"Sorry, but, do you guys want a picture?" A female rep steped into their line of sight from the wall, probably a social media manager or something. Macklin looked back at Sadie and pointed at her slightly, letting her make the decision. She nods and gives a little 'Sure'.
The two of them angled themselves toward the rep and Sadie pressed her hand flat against his back. He was still in his skates, so she only came up to about the middle of his chest, maybe even lower. His arm pressed against the top of her back and against her shoulder blades. The rep snapped a few pictures and gave them a thumbs up when she was done.
"Well," she frowns, "I should probably head back to my friends."
Macklin frowned a little bit himself, realizing how small the likelihood of them seeing each other again probably was. "Yeah, sorry, I kinda held you up." He scratched the back of his neck sadly, his bicep bulging against the thin fabric of his compression shirt.
"No, don't apologize. I had a great time," she reassured, nodding at him. She then pinched the fabric of her jersey and pulled it away from her body. "Plus, I got some sick new threads, no?" She joked. "You should sign this for me, actually." She pointed as her eyebrows flew to her hairline.
A shocked Macklin agreed and took the sharpie someone extended to him. Sadie turned around and back-pedaled to him as he crouched to sign '7' on the back of the jersey. He pressed his palm to her back to flatten the fabric and keep in his place as he scribbled his autograph on it. "There," he finished, capping the pen and patting her back.
"Thank you so much," she offered, reaching up to hug him, but this time, with her arms around his neck. She was already on her tip-toes but he bent down to meet her, wrapping an arm around her waist.
"Thank you," he said into her shoulder before pulling away. "Having you here made all of us play better, I think." He huffs a laugh as the two of them start separating. She disagreed.
"Nah, that's all you, bud," she squinted as she shook her head. Then she turned her attention to the staff around her. "And thank you all, so much. This was an amazing experience. You guys are awesome."
Everyone gave goodbyes and few people exchanged contact information with Sadie, including that social media rep who took their picture. Macklin headed back to change and Sadie met up with her friends, who were waiting in some family room.
When Sadie got back to her hotel room, the first thing she did was open Instagram and search Macklin Celebrini. His account popped up and a big blue button that said 'Follow Back' was under his username. The kid had followed her for five years already. She realized almost all of his teammates also followed her. But...Macklin was the only one she followed back.
Later that night, videos of her meeting with the team flooded social media. People were already starting rumors about her and every guy on the team, and they only got worse when a video came out of her and Mack talking to each other alone. Sadie just smiled to herself, and decided to post the picture that was taken of her Macklin. She added it to her story with the caption 'Made a new friend tonight'. She tagged Macklin, posted it and went to sleep, blissfully unaware of the chaos she had started.
And they wouldn't even see each other again for over six months.
//
Please, please let me know what you guys think or if you want me to continue this. I think my social media au with childhood best friend reader will be done soon, but I really want to make that into a written series with an OC. Just let me know how you guys are feeling.
Stay safe out there (especially on hockey twitter these days)!
All the love, she :)
