Mack hadn’t expected the public response to him and Will coming out to be this positive. Mostly because he had never actually considered them coming out in the first place. That would have required them to be a couple, which they were not, so the whole scenario had simply never made it onto his list of things to worry about. Now, however, he found himself wildly unprepared for just how enthusiastic people were about it. Because this clearly meant something. To a lot of people. The idea of two hockey players being in love and open about it wasn’t just nice, it was important. And disappointing that many people felt… bad. Which left him with only one option: convince Will to help him fake the whole thing. For representation. To prove that yes, hockey players could be gay and in love and all of that. That was the entire reason. Probably.
or: Willmack accidentally come out and everyone is unbelievably supportive. Which would be great if it weren’t for the small issue of Will and Mack not actually being a couple.
