Summary
The diagnosis took 10 years. 10 years of unknowns, constant pain, and being told to push through it.
It all seems like too much for Macklin, especially when he hides the pain. Macklin refuses to be seen as weak; what the team doesn't know won't hurt them. Will especially doesn't need to know what goes on in Macklin's mind.
MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING: Depictions of self-harm and eating disorders. I will specify in the notes if the chapter contain graphic depictions as well as in the text using "***************" before and after the scene if you choose to skip it.

Summary
Will comes to terms with a new side of himself he never knew existed, and it's all because of a pair of green eyes that had him hooked the moment he saw the sadness that encompassed them that one game in the middle of December.
Title and chapters inspired by the lyrics from Santa Monica by Everclear
This is Will's perspective from my other work, "I Feel As Though Today Has Been Enough," but can be read as a standalone, although I do recommend reading it as a sequel of sorts for more context :)
