macklin: the one who has obviously had the most fun. you search up his name and his fuck ass kegstand is on the jumbotron. he also cannot do a tiktok dance to save his life. clearly getting white girl wasted (+ potentially crossed) with his old BU hockey buddies. doing his best SEC frat pledge impersonation. his darty babysitters his drinking partners in crime: BU women’s hockey, cole hutson, brother aiden, and the one who won all of our hearts: mr cowboy hat derrick white celtics jersey boy (aka jonathan morello)
smitty: well of course he was hanging out with his Dearly Beloved Day One will vote. like genuinely of course will vote is there, he is never not going to be there. at least will squared made it to the actual marathon barricade to cheer on his agent(?). right at mile marker 23. he + voter were also seen at circle with drew fortescue, teddy stiga, + GABELENO :)
gabe: wore a matching talladega nights throuples fit with smitty + fort. drew was in a ricky bobby jumpsuit and willgabe wore the cal old spice hat + race jacket combo. gabe also went with leno to the BC chipotle (my source here is botg texts shown below. my botg source did not snap paparazzi pics. sorry everyone)
leno: actual loser per usual. not dressed on theme, just looking stupid as all hell. he did show face for the bc line reunion at circle tho! i do believe that the purple collar peeking from under his sweatshirt could be the hockey beats cancer walk-in jerseys? that must’ve been the jersey he wore so that him + gabe could get that chipotle BOGO
***UPDATE: this willmack picture of them linking up after the marathon ended, at circle, in the kitchen where the willgabeleno pics were also taken (simultaneously a hydrogen bomb + nothing burger #atthesamedamntime)
EVERYTHING FROM HERE ON OUT IS ME HRPF-ING OUT !!!!! SOURCE? I MADE IT THE HELL UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i still cannot get over the fact that macklin was wearing a fucking anthony edwards UGA era jersey. like hello. WHY GEORGIA? macklin, on a map, can you point to where athens, ga is? (i think this just ticks me off because i have such a strong personal allegiance to another SEC school ...NOT alabama i would rather kill myself). also the fact that macklin hung out with cole hutson all day. talk about a duo i made up! or even better… a duo RYAN LEONARD made up! these are my mackleno crumbs and i will be making a buffet out of a nothing burger. i would like to believe mack was asking hutty for leno updates in the way you ask your friend how your ex is doing. oughhhhhhhh #injectit
smitty + will vote man. no one will ever replace that other blondie in his heart. like damn. i am willing to bet money that they ended up doing their own thing + ditched the rest of this polycule. smitty definitely had 79 missed drunk calls/facetimes/texts from mack, while voter’s old gc from the 24-25 season with gabeleno was blowing the fuck up. but nope! will squared over everybody :) smitty definitely did end up picking up mack from the BU hockey house because mack was crossfaded as all hell. macklin got mad smitty made him get in the backseat since voter was passenger princess, but ended up passing out back there anyways. macklin woke up in smitty’s airbnb with 53 missed calls/facetimes/texts from brother aiden wondering if he’s alive + if he’s seen that he’s trending everywhere (no calls from dada rick though… hmm). mack also has some random texts from hutty talking about leno? what the hell did he say yesterday?
the biggest elephant in the room is leno bruh. such a fucking loser idiot. was he not included in the gc where outfits were coordinated? how did drew replace him? was it because gabedrew is alive and thriving in new york???? this vexes me. but also i know this whole polycule is kind of all will smith’s fault but i am making it about the ryan leonard of it all.
imagine you’re leno. you're back in the town you love best. you were recently voted out of the crowd favorite polycule (willgabeleno) for being too much of a loser flop, so now you can’t coordinate outfits with your buds. you show up to the pregame the only one not on theme. the only thing you can muster up is the jersey that reminds you of some of your favorite old guys (caps vets) and some stupid ass cyclops sunglasses. you go to the bar with the rest of the guys. your phone is blowing up because your will-they-wont-they future roommate (hutty) keeps texting you that your on-again-off-again hookup keeps asking about you (what the hell does macklin want? shouldn’t he drunk texting smitty?) you look up and half of your group is gone from the bar. gabe asks if you want to get chipotle. like yeah okay man, whatever. you stand there in the chipotle line overthinking your order even though you get the same thing every time. who all is going to be at the airbnb when you get back? what have hutty + mack being saying about you? can ryan leonard be loved genuinely? wonder what the rest of the caps are up to right now.
honorable mentions: WHERE THE HELL IS DEAN LETOURNEAU. HE IS TALL AS SHIT AND CAN’T BE MISSED. THAT SKYSCRAPER ASS BEANSTALK. WHERE IS HE. speaking of missing players... marmon being in boston and all... i wonder if the bruins had missed the playoffs, would james hagens be showing face? AND!!!!!! would he have strung the rest of the bear cub line along with him? i NEED to see fraser minten in ANY sort of darty / daydrinking / frat like situation. i know lukas can drink, and mason… mason is from the fucking BAYOU and went to OHIO STATE. he’s genetically engineered for marmon
***UPDATE: HELLO????? THE IMPLICATIONS OF THAT WILLMACK PHOTO IN THE CIRCLE KITCHEN BACKROOMS. the big 4 all coexisting in the same room… will vote probably also there (the cameraman, perhaps?) i am twirling my hair, kicking my feet, absolutely GIGGLING. maybe this is the summer they hard launch the willmackgabeleno of it all :D
anyways... this boston polycule. the bolycule if you will. i am so obsessed with them running in the same circles in the same city. never a dull moment with these idiots :)
this is only day what? five (5)? of the offseason? WE ARE IN FOR A ROLLERCOASTER AND CALL ME KYLIAN MBAPPE THE WAY I WILL BE THERE NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dickie forcing macklin to come out drinking in zurich after getting eliminated from gold medal contention worlds. at first mack is super resistant, but after mr crosby & other canada vets basically come together to say “you’re only young once. don’t sulk about this right now. live your life”. macklin’s 4-ish beers deep at the bar they dragged him to, and he hasn’t looked at his phone in hours because he refuses to get into his head about not failing to reach gold. when dickie and porter leave him at the table so they can get more shots, he finally sighs and scrolls thru his phone. a couple follow up texts from smitty and rick (which, he’ll get back to… just not right now) and…? why does his dm thread with leno say “4+ new messages”…?
ryan.leno_4: Dude I’m at ur game rn
ryan.leno_4: Not for u tho. Carbo invited me to come watch
ryan.leno_4: Bro ur so washed
ryan.leno_4: Holy. Do u only lock in against me?
ryan.leno_4: Dude u missed that wide open look... Shit was a layup. I wouldve made that easyyyy
ryan.leno_4: Lmao bro ur the same color as your jersey. Relax kid
ryan.leno_4: Yeah dont kill yourself in the locker room bud
what the hell was this dude’s problem? he was live texting the game while macklin was on the ice? leno was at the game and macklin couldn’t pick him out of the stands? leno is still in zurich? mack can’t tell if the alcohol is taking over but all he hears is blood rushing to his ears as he drunkenly types back a response.
mackcelebrini: Dude shit the fucj up
mackcelebrini: Sayjng all thsi when u played like shit against me
mackcelebrini: Chirping thru ig dms lol
mackcelebrini: Why arebt u on a pkane to. Cancun yet???!
macklin shuts his phone off and slams it screen down on the table just as dickie and porter come back with tequila shots. mack does his best to down the shot as fast as he can, the tequila burning his throat as he squeezes his eyes shut. as soon as he bites the lime, his phone buzzes again, and he involuntarily looks at it.
ryan.leno_4: Fine. Lmk what bar ur at and I’ll come chirp to ur fucking face
well damn! now that usa v can mackleno will be #real (!!!!) i guess the drabble i had brewing where leno goes to watch team canada is no more. but just to indulge in more mackleno summer… i believe leno would be sitting high in the stands (carbo told him to come watch… “hockey homework” he called it…) of whoever canada was playing in the QF. wearing a large brimmed usa hat to hopefully avoid any recognition, nursing some european beer he can’t pronounce, watching macklin skate around during warmups. leno keeps gritting his teeth, frustrated as hell that he isn’t on the ice across from mack. macklin had drunk texted him a few times during the tournament, and even sent a pity “sorry your team wasn’t good enough to get out of the group stage” text. the part that pissed leno off the most was the indication that mack thought team usa was leno’s team. leno pushes all those thoughts of failure away as carbo waves to him from the bench, letting him know that he saw leno was present and watching. and of course mack fucking catches this, and flashes his stupid gummy smile at leno, as if some switch had been flipped in him. before leno can break the eye contact, mack skates away to center ice so he can greet the refs. which is whatever. it doesn’t matter to leno. macklin will be drunk on the streets of zurich again with all his little canada groupies, and leno won’t even be floating in his head space at all…
in my mind macklin’s drunk ass is taking that snapchat video of dickie in the sidcros jersey to send to leno. he thinks it’s some kind of chirp that his beautifully drunken mind has conjured up, but in reality it’s just to talk to leno since they’re in the same country & timezone (and smitty is probably preoccupied with will vote + gabo in boston somewhere)
3 out the 3 drabbles I’ll post tonight to make up for the long time of not posting anything.
Thanks @nyxisis for beta-ing all three <3

Sara nervously entered the infirmary to see Leonard tending to his own hand. She took a deep breath and finally asked, “Hey, how’s the hand?”
Leonard didn’t seem bothered by the pain he was feeling so he smirked and replied, “I am never watching horror movies with you again.”
Earlier today, Leonard asked Sara to watch a horror film with him. She hesitated at first but said yes to it anyways. Apparently, no matter how much she has been through, horror films still are the assassin’s weakness.
Much to Leonard’s amusement, Sara took his hand to cover her own eyes in the middle of the movie and once the series of jump scares began, she bit down on it.
Sara looks down as she walks towards the bed where Leonard is sitting. “I’m sorry I tried to bite your hand.”
“Tried to bite my hand??”, the former crook said. “Sara, you munched on it.”
She is starting to look guilty, staring at his wounded hand, then sighed.
Leonard saw the worry, concern, and the guilt in his girlfriend’s eyes. The moment he saw her reaction, he raised his good hand to her cheeks and said, “Hey, I’m kidding. It’s okay.”
Sara stared at his beautiful eyes with her eyebrows burrowed, as if unsure of what Leonard said.
He continued. “It’ll heal, don’t worry. Come on, we have a movie to finish,” he said as he stood up, taking her hand and walking towards the bolt door of the Medbay.
As they were walking towards their room, Sara softly asked, “Are you sure it’s okay with you that we finish the film?”
“Yeah,” Leonard quickly replied, squeezing Sara’s hand with his good one. “Besides, I have another hand you can bite.”
