Summary
For as long as Macklin celebrini could remember, his life orbited around hockey. Around the discipline that came with it, the strain he felt build with every bad game, but also the sincere joy he felt every time he stepped out on the ice. It was always there, his training and passion carving the way for him to lead his team to victory. He knew this to be true from the time he first picked up a stick, to his time at Boston University, and now on the San Jose Sharks.
But he couldn’t shake the deep seated feeling that something wasn’t right, his shoulders shook a little more with every game, his hands felt like they clenched into permanent fists. With every game came more issues, more things he did wrong, more passes he didn’t make, and more phone calls from the one person he wants to make proud, picking out every single problem with his gameplay.
Rick Celebrini had always been this way, couch first, father dead last. And that fact never made it not sting when Macklin was so desperately seeking his father’s approval, just to fall short every single time. And it hurt, it began to chip away at his body, corroding the bone beneath his flesh, shaping his mindset for the next game that he knew would never be better.

“Dude you’re absolute shit at this.”
“Not my fault I didn’t start chain smoking back in college.”
“Oh now you're just being dramatic.” Will takes another pull, it’s effortless and quick, he blows the smoke directly into Mack’s face, who only shuts his eyes as it clouds his gaze.

Summary
Will suddenly found it hard to stand still.
A sharp, almost painful desire rose in his chest to turn off the water, get out, not even dry off properly, walk barefoot across the cold floor, and just hug him. Tightly, so Mack could feel it: he wasn't alone.
To tell him he was great. That he tried harder than anyone.That a couple of games didn't define anything. To repeat it over and over until Mack stopped stubbornly staying silent, until he believed it, until even the thought of his own "inadequacy" seemed foreign and absurd.
Will ran his hand over his wet face and closed his eyes.
Sometimes words don't change anything. But sometimes a person needs someone who will say them as many times as it takes.Bookmarked by Angelswearveils
