    fwb!will

    Late nights, read receipts, and a contact saved with a name you definitely shouldn’t have memorized. It starts as a joke—one reckless DM, one unexpected reply—and suddenly you’re trading messages with Will Smith like it’s the most normal thing in the world. No labels, no expectations… just “you up?” texts after road games and a string of inside jokes that mean a little too much. He’s all easy charm and late-night honesty; you’re trying very hard not to care. But somewhere between the teasing, the voice notes, and the way he always seems to text you first after a win, the line between casual and something else starts to blur. And neither of you are saying anything about it.

    The one she picked <3

    The Sharks social media team has come up with their latest challenge: spend the day taking care of an 18-month-old toddler. Maisie is shy, quiet, and usually glued to her mom’s side. So nobody expects her to immediately toddle past every player and attach herself to Macklin Celebrini instead. As the day goes on, Macklin finds himself becoming Maisie’s favorite person—and maybe becoming a little too invested in making her smile. But the biggest surprise comes when he meets her mom. Y/N is only twenty years old, raising her daughter on her own, and somehow manages to be the strongest, funniest, and most genuine person he’s ever met. What starts as a simple content challenge quickly turns into something neither of them expected. Because the more time Macklin spends with Maisie and her mom, the harder it becomes to imagine his life without them. Inspired by watching TXT with baby Yoojun

    :)

    You, Macklin Celebrini, and Will Smith have always had an easy, close dynamic—joking around, spending a lot of time together, the kind of friendship where boundaries blur a little without anyone really acknowledging it.

    same side of the playground

    they meet when they’re about 9 during recess. mack and will are playing tag with a group of other kids, running through the chaos like they always do—mack fully in it, loud and competitive, will a little more controlled but still participating. during one of the rounds, you end up in their path, fall, and scrape your knee. most kids keep running or barely register it. mack does too—he’s mid-game, caught up in the moment, and doesn’t immediately notice what happened. will does. he stops almost instantly, like it’s not even a decision. he sees you’re hurt, walks over, and helps you up without making it a big scene. he doesn’t overreact or panic—he just switches into this quiet, practical mode. he walks you over to the nurse or a teacher, stays with you long enough to make sure you’re okay, and then leaves like it was the most normal thing in the world. meanwhile, mack realizes something is off when he notices will isn’t there anymore. he goes looking for him, annoyed and confused, and ends up finding out what happened afterward. that’s when he actually sees you properly for the first time—not just “the kid who was there,” but someone will stopped everything for. from that point on, mack mentally files it as: you are now part of them. he doesn’t ask if you want to be included. he just starts acting like it’s already established. he talks to you more directly, pulls you into games, and fills in the space will started. and will, for his part, doesn’t argue it. he just naturally continues being the quieter, steadier presence who checks in without making it a thing.

    Heatwaves~

    The heat never really left, even when the sun went down. Late nights blur into early mornings as Y/N and Macklin Celebrini circle each other—too close to ignore, too far to touch without consequences. There’s something unspoken between them, something that lingers in the quiet, in the almosts, in the way neither of them ever says what they really mean. But heatwaves don’t last forever. And neither do moments like this. So the question is—when everything cools down… will they still burn for each other?

    Good with kids

    Will made the rule long before either of you ever thought it would matter. “Don’t even think about it,” he’d told Mack once, after catching him talking to you for a little too long at a summer party. “Seriously. She’s off limits.” And to you: “If you ever date one of my teammates, I’m transferring schools.” At the time, it was funny. Then you got older. And somehow, without either of you meaning to, things stopped being funny. Because now every family barbecue, lake day, and team gathering feels dangerous in the smallest ways. Especially when you catch glimpses of the version of Mack nobody else really pays attention to. The one sitting in the grass for an hour because one little kid asked him to help build a blanket fort. The one who lets toddlers fall asleep on his shoulder without moving. The one who speaks so gently to kids it makes your chest ache. And the worst part is you know Will would hate how much it affects you. Which means you definitely can’t explain why seeing Mack asleep on the couch at the end of the night — a teammate’s kid curled against his chest while his hand rests protectively on their back — feels like something inside you quietly falls apart.

    The Ghost in the Guest Room

    Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith thought they were getting a fresh start when they bought their first house together. They were not expecting the house to come with a ghost. She died there years ago, and for reasons she doesn’t understand, she’s never been able to leave. She’s spent a long time alone—until two very alive, very loud hockey players move in. At first, the haunting is accidental. A cabinet slams. A door opens. Something falls off a shelf. Then she realizes something important: Macklin Celebrini is absolutely terrified of ghosts. And, unfortunately for him, she’s bored. What starts as a few harmless scares slowly turns into something neither of them expected. Because the longer Mack and Will live in the house, the more she begins to wonder if maybe being stuck there isn’t quite as lonely as it used to be. And Mack? He’s starting to wonder if the ghost haunting his house might be his favorite roommate.
