I Could Do Better - will smith x macklin celebrini

summary: will’s a pining best friend and macklin’s oblivious with a boyfriend he hates (warning! slight angst)

wc: 1,401

It was close to midnight when Macklin dropped onto Will’s couch like gravity had finally caught up with him. He looked wrecked—hoodie half-zipped, curls flattened from a hoodie hood he hadn’t taken off all day, jaw tight. He didn’t say anything for a full minute, just sat there hunched forward, elbows on knees, fidgeting with the drawstring of his sweatshirt.

Will handed him a Gatorade wordlessly and took the spot beside him, curling one leg under the other. The low buzz of a playoff game hummed from the TV, but neither of them was really watching.

“So,” Will said eventually. “Jake?”

Mack gave him a half-hearted glare. “Don’t start.”

Will raised a hand in mock surrender. “Didn’t say a word. Just—checking.”

Mack cracked the Gatorade open and took a long sip. “He’s just… I don’t know.”

“That’s descriptive.”

“He’s annoying,” Mack admitted, tipping his head back to stare at the ceiling. “I mean, not objectively. He’s not like— evil. He just does this thing with his voice when he’s trying to be charming and it makes me want to drown myself.”

Will snorted. “That bad, huh?”

“He called me ‘baby boy’ in a non-sexy way.”

Will winced. “Yikes.”

“And then he said ‘jk’ after. Like he was texting. Out loud.”

Will full-on cackled. “No.”

“I swear to god.” Mack shook his head. “I think I just—I keep trying to convince myself it’s going somewhere, but it’s not. Every time I see him I feel like I’m waiting for it to click, and it just… never does.”

Will hummed quietly, watching Mack out of the corner of his eye. “Then why keep seeing him?”

Mack shrugged. “Because it’s something. And sometimes something feels better than nothing.”

Will didn’t say anything to that. He couldn’t. Because if he opened his mouth, the truth might fall out—and he wasn’t ready for that.

Mack pulled his legs up onto the couch and sat cross-legged, head resting against the back cushion. “It’s stupid.”

“It’s not,” Will said. “It’s human.”

They sat in silence for a beat. Mack reached for the remote, muted the TV, then leaned into the quiet.

“And…” he added, almost too softly, “he’s kind of shit in bed.”

Will looked over, surprised. “Seriously?”

Mack’s face was pink, but he didn’t take it back. “I don’t know. He’s not bad, I guess. Just... lazy. Like he’s trying to check a box. And don’t even get me started on the fingering situation.”

Will blinked. “There’s a fingering situation?”

“One time,” Mack said. “He tried it, it lasted like thirty seconds, and he wouldn’t stop asking if he was doing it right. Like I’m supposed to give Yelp reviews mid-session.”

Will bit back a laugh. “How generous of him.”

“I think he Googled it.”

Will did laugh at that. “Was the first result ‘How to disappoint your boyfriend in under a minute’?”

Mack groaned, but he was smiling now. “He’s not even my boyfriend. We’ve never made it official.”

Will’s smile faded a little, but he kept his voice light. “So what is he?”

Mack paused. “I don’t know. A placeholder, maybe.”

The words hung in the air longer than they should’ve.

Will looked down at his hands. “You deserve more than that.”

“I know.”

“You should be with someone who knows how to touch you,” Will said, his voice low now, almost too low. “How to.. to take care of you. Someone who pays attention. Who listens.”

Mack blinked slowly, like he wasn’t sure what to make of that.

Will didn’t clarify. He couldn’t. Not when Mack was still tangled up with some other guy—some guy who didn’t even see him. Not when Will’s own feelings had been folded and tucked away for months, years maybe, too fragile to say out loud.

So instead he smiled, that casual, easy grin he’d learned to weaponize. “Just saying, if I were you, I’d raise the bar a little.”

Mack raised an eyebrow. “You giving me dating advice now?”

Will shrugged. “Someone’s gotta.”

Mack tilted his head. “And what would you do differently?”

Will hesitated. “If it were me?”

Mack nodded slowly. “Yeah.”

Will leaned back into the couch, letting his head tip against the cushions, gaze fixed on the ceiling like the answer might be scribbled up there. He could feel Macklin watching him, and it made his skin hum, that awareness, that quiet weight of being seen even in silence.

“If it were me..”Will said finally, voice low and slow like he was choosing each word from a burning deck of cards, “I wouldn’t be checking my phone mid-makeout. I wouldn’t call you anything that sounds like a failed Tumblr username. And I definitely wouldn’t treat sex like it’s an obligation.”

Mack made a soft, skeptical noise beside him, something like a laugh but with a hitch in it. “That’s a low bar.”

Will glanced over, eyes narrowing just slightly. “Yeah, well. We’re apparently living in the limbo of men who say ‘jk’ after trying to seduce you, so I feel like even the floor’s not low enough.”

Macklin snorted. “God, you really hate him.”

“I don’t even know him,” Will said, too quickly, before amending, “I just know what you look like when you’re happy. And you don’t look like that when you talk about him.”

That shut Macklin up.

For a minute, anyway.

He fiddled with the hem of his hoodie, quiet, lips twitching like he wanted to say something but was trying to decide how reckless to be.

Finally: “You’re kind of dangerous when you’re honest.”

Will raised a brow, amused. “Yeah?”

“You say things like you’re joking… but they don’t feel like jokes.”

Will’s smile was faint, crooked. “And what if I said that’s the only way I know how to say real things without—ruining everything?”

Macklin didn’t answer that. Just looked at him. And that look—open, curious, almost soft—made Will’s chest squeeze like someone had reached in and wrung it out.

Will tried to defuse it, leaned forward and grabbed a throw pillow, hugging it to his chest like a barrier. “I’d make sure you never felt like a placeholder. That’s what I’d do differently.”

Mack pressed his mouth into a line, eyes dropping to the Gatorade cap he was spinning between his fingers.

“And,” Will added, because he couldn’t help himself, “I’d absolutely Google better fingering techniques.”

That earned him a sharp laugh, sudden and barked out before Macklin could help it. He nudged Will’s knee with his own, mock-offended. “You’re an idiot.”

Will grinned, wide and easy. “A well-informed idiot.”

Mack shook his head, but he was still smiling, just a little. “You’re so annoying .”

“But at least I listen,” Will said quietly.

That brought silence again—real silence, the kind that crackled with unsaid things. Will didn’t look at him. Couldn’t. The weight of it all—the what-ifs and almosts and too-easies—was pressing too hard on his chest.

Eventually, Macklin exhaled and leaned sideways until his head was resting on Will’s shoulder, soft and warm and maybe a little bit sleepy. “You always do,” he murmured. “That’s kind of the problem.”

Will didn’t ask what he meant. He just let him stay there, let the room go quiet except for the muted buzz of the TV and the soft rustle of Mack’s sweatshirt when he shifted closer.

He didn’t move.

Didn’t say anything more.

Just stayed still, letting his pulse roar in his ears and trying not to think too hard about how easy it was to fall in love with someone who trusted you enough to fall asleep on your shoulder.

There was time.

There was always time.

Wasn’t there?

So he sat there, heartbeat steady, gaze locked on the flicker of the TV screen. Mack’s breath evened out beside him.

And Will, quietly, desperately, stayed.

Just a little longer.

sages thoughts⋆˙⟡: sigh forever oblivious, i really loved writing this and i hope you guys enjoyed!

[blade-liger-4ever]

Could you give ideas of what the bots' reactions would be to Smokey's less-than-privileged past in your AU? These are my thoughts that you can expand on, if you want.

Optimus: feels terrible that he couldn't give more relief to places like Mithril so younger bots wouldn't have felt pressured to sign up. (Energon was getting scarcer all the time but that still rings a bit hollow as an excuse in his audials.) Also glad that his words gave someone a little more hope. Knows/knew Chromia a little but didn't know her as a person much outside of Prowl's recommendation. Hopes he can see them reunite after the War.

Ratchet: wants to scan thoroughly for anything that might have escaped his initial check-ups. Especially after he hears about Smokescreen having to consume ores and raw materials. Primus, he hadn't expected a shiny Elite Guard graduate to be from such an underdeveloped area. Ratchet's not blind, he knew those areas existed but there had been no outward indication that their recruit had had such hardships. Will def keep a closer eye on him to make sure he isn't masking any other potential problems.

Arcee: well, frag. She thought he was just another one of those glory-happy, sheltered rookies who'd never experienced hardship before; the kind that either fell to pieces the moment they were in trouble or died stupidly bringing everyone else with them. But then, he hasn't fallen apart in the MIDST of any battle, only afterwards when he feels he's screwed it up. Can't imagine why he's as enthusiastic as he is with all the hardship he knows is yet to come.

Bumblebee: yikes. Bee can't imagine what it'd be like to willingly separate from family and then have all that happen. Iacon's fall happened ages so that means she's spent all this time thinking her sibling's dead and now that Smokey's outta stasis, he's prob having similar uncertain thoughts. Not to mention Alpha Trion. . .Welp, he and Bee might not be real siblings but maybe he can substitute. There's not many bots left that are around his age or racers. Now the count is up to two. Until there are more, let's make it as fun as they can!

Bulkhead: feels like he can relate better to the newbie. After all, Bulkhead was low class, too. A laborer, one of the expendable types. Back when he thought he was getting replaced, part of his insecurity was that a high class "Elite Guard" fancy-pants was gonna leave him holding the short end of the stick. It's nice to see a street kid get so far up in training and get a real education that Bulkhead wasn't able to get. Wishes he'd seen the faces on the bullies when they got shown up. Bet they would've turned tail at the thought of Megatron, let alone mouthing off to 'im.

Ultra Magnus: many of the toughest mechs under his command came from bad circumstances. They were better at handling the pressure on average. Smokescreen is no different in that respect, but it's still impressive that someone so young managed to get the discipline he did. Not happy about the stealing but is glad he managed to get out while he was young. Magnus knows all too well that it rarely stops at just stealing and that the older and/or less skilled ones are often forced to prove their worth with more drastic actions.

(May have asked or considered asking Chromia to join the Wreckers??? And she either didn't consider it an option or refused because Wreckers often don't come back and she couldn't do that to him??)

Wheeljack: it's nice that the kid is so tough and spunky. He's a Wrecker, they consider surviving with sanity intact (mostly) a badge of honor. Not to say the kid isn't crazy but it's the fun kinda crazy. The type that gets back up and keeps on truckin'. On the flip side, he'll have to check in on him to make sure Smokescreen's not holding back the emotional stuff til he explodes. As a newbie, he doesn't have the best support yet among the team. Will keep an extra eye out for news of Chromia and also the Axelators. Knows a potential recipe for vengeance when he sees it. People that use others always get the most offended when the tables are turned.

@kzele you know me well to ask that question. This is gonna be fun!

Optimus Prime

To say he's emotionally reeling would be an understatement, as well as the only admittance you could pry from Optimus' mouth.

Places like the Mithril Sea were locations Optimus longed to improve. Not only was it a hotbed for cutthroat activities and an economic nightmare, but most younglings in the Mithril Sea only reached Bumblebee's age before dying preemptively due to gang wars and overdoses*. It was also the place where down-on-their-luck veterans went, usually never seeing a familiar face again. To learn that Smokescreen, a youth so bright and eager, hailed from the Sea was both Spark-breaking and inspiring.

Smokescreen's recollections of the Sea, while casual and occasionally nostalgic, hurt to hear. Knowing that he willingly gave up portions of energon for the War (my fault), that he struggled to survive during the War with his sister gone (my fault), and that he was desperate enough to actually enlist in the Elite Guard (I am so, so sorry, Smokescreen), Optimus can't help but feel guilty. If he'd been more patient, considered that the Mithril Sea might have had some younger 'Bots willing to risk it all for the Autobot cause, then Smokescreen would have never had to suffer like this.

Optimus finds small comfort in knowing that his words gave Smokescreen such hope. At least the young mech had something to guide him as the War stretched on.

The name Chromia rings a few bells. Optimus recalls Prowl's reports of the young femme's missions, and it was rare for his captain to lie about a younger recruit's skills. Because of this, and the fact that Prowl had to direct operations in Praxus, he never got to meet Smokescreen's sister. The last he'd heard, she was being transferred to Ironhide's unit when they abandoned Cybertron.

He hopes that she still functions, and that he can see the brother and sister reunited.

Ratchet

As chief medical officer, Ratchet is exercising his power to order Smokescreen's aft to the medbay for a solid day to run diagnostic scans and check-ups. It doesn't matter how well he was when they found him: the Mithril Sea is known for sicknesses, and - WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ATE RAW MATERIALS FROM THE SEA?! THEY HAVE NO CLEAN PROCESSING PLANTS THERE, YOU COULD HAVE HAD AN INFECTION AND STILL BE SUFFERING FROM IT!!

Ratchet's swearing and grumbling is the only way he can operate without resorting to physical violence as he tends to a (remarkably) healthy Smokescreen. He's beyond astounded and flabbergasted to learn of Smokescreen's history as a native Mithrilian. Most of the older recruits from the Sea showed signs of malnourishment just in the dullness of their plating alone, never mind the weak frames they sported. It's why he and countless other medics had them recommended as snipers; not only were their optics the sole healthy thing about them, but one recoil from any weapon heavier than the rifles was liable to throw out the 'Bot's shoulder.

Still, that does explain the young mech's light fingers. He'll also have to ask about those Axelators. Ratchet could care less about the methods he took to survive, but if even one of those 'Bots had had a serious illness, Smokescreen might be unknowingly carrying it.

Smokescreen's sister sounds like a reliable femme. Ratchet will have to thank her for all the hard work she put into raising him; he doubts Smokescreen would have graduated the Elite Guard as healthily as he did without Chromia's care.

Ratchet will also be examining her health record - once he's made sure Smokescreen's fine and won't go eating Earth minerals when they're low on energon.

Arcee

Frag. Frag, frag - you know what? Infinite frag. How is it Arcee keeps putting her pede in her mouth with this kid?

For months she'd thought Smokescreen was your typical, wide-eyed youngling eager for the glory of War. Her peer Sideswipe had been like that, even though he was ahead of her by only a few courses (given his gladiator history though, that was to be expected.) Smokescreen's attitude, in hindsight, might have reminded her of the crimson warrior. It's still no excuse for how long she treated him like a glass doll that would break on the field - especially since he'd never been stupid enough to fall apart in battle or get any of them killed, sans his accidental shot at the energon leak from his escape pod.

That doesn't fully explain his personality, though. Arcee would have thought his experience in the Mithril Sea would have hardened Smokescreen. Made him standoffish, or bitingly rough with others due to the notorious hardships swarming the Sea. Taking into account all he's been through since then as well, it's a miracle Smokescreen's as perky as he is.

Y'know, day after day, Arcee's beginning to see just why the Matrix chose him...

Bumblebee

So...Smokescreen has a sister, who probably thinks he's one with the AllSpark due to Iacon falling millennia ago, Smokescreen himself might be thinking the same, and to top it all off his mentor died in the fall. Even though Bee is an orphan, he has no idea how Smokescreen's holding it all together, because if the roles were reversed, he'd be screaming or passed out by now.

And that's not even getting into how he grew up in the freaking Mithril Sea.

Kaon might be the worst place on Cybertron, but Primus is the Mithril Sea horrible on its own. Street gangs, black market deals, rust cloud storms that carry disease - Bee heard about all the things associated with the place. To just think that Smokescreen, let alone Chromia (he thinks he might have met her in passing once, but he's not sure anymore), survived to adulthood is incredible and miraculous all at once.

And...Smokescreen might have lost it all. No wonder he didn't bring any of it up right away; it's gotta be eating him up inside.

Maybe, since they're so close in age (comparatively speaking at least), Bee wonders if he can substitute until they learn about Chromia's fate. Besides, if he can play little brother to Smokescreen, maybe he'll feel better. If nothing else, they can have fun while waiting to see who else survived the Exodus.

Distraction might not be the noblest thing, but if it keeps dark thoughts out of Smokescreen's head, Bee's all for it.

Bulkhead

Bulk's a little speechless. He thought Smokescreen was an Iaconian by birth, but this whole time he was actually from one of the working class areas? Now he just feels bad that he'd thought Smokey was a high and mighty upper-class 'Bot eager to take his place when they first met.

It does make him happy, though. If Smokescreen could call the Mithril Sea his home, scrap with the best of them, and still get an education...well, maybe Bulk can at least take some classes when all's settled down for keeps. He'll never have what Smokescreen got blessed with, but if there's still a chance to get some of that, he'll take it.

In the meantime, he's more than satisfied to relate to the kid. And trade stories about growing up in the lower classes. Some of the training days get talked about too, and Bulk's practically rolling from the shenanigans Smokescreen got up to when the others wouldn't take the hint to back off.

Oh Primus, he wishes he could see their faces when they got shown up those times!

Ultra Magnus

Ultra Magnus is not terribly surprised to learn of Smokescreen's upbringing in the Mithril Sea. As a matter of fact, most of the Autobots' best soldiers came from such backgrounds. Having worked with a great deal of them, Ultra Magnus can attest to their excellent performance while under pressure. Dealing with life or death situations constantly has a tendency to bring out the better qualities of survival in a 'Bot.

When taking into account his age, however, Ultra Magnus is impressed by the young mech's discipline. More often than not, it is hard to impress that mindset onto one so young.

The stealing and theft, while disturbing, are understandable. The quality of life in the Mithril Sea was notoriously poor, and it was the only means of survival. However, Ultra Magnus cannot help but be relieved that both Smokescreen's dealings with the Axelators were minor and that he abandoned his home for the Elite Guard at the age he did. He was old enough that, should Smokescreen's situation have become desperate enough to actually join their numbers, he likely would have had to undergo a "rite of passage" that could have entailed a murder. Ultra Magnus has heard of such "trials" in similar locations, and he cannot help but be thankful that happenstance determined he leave when he did.

He recalls meeting with Chromia a few times. Ultra Magnus had worked closely with Prowl, and so the captain had assigned her to some of his field missions over time. He also remembers offering the femme a place with the Wreckers after a particularly rough mission that proved her fighting worth.

Ultra Magnus now understands that the reason for her rejection of his offer stands before him.

Wheeljack

First getting pegged for the Primacy, now this deal about being from the Mithril fragging Sea? Boy, the kid never ceases to amaze.

Most Wreckers end up some form of insane due to the things they witness and have to do, so Smokescreen's level of crazy - specifically the way he bounces back up and straight for the attack, and zero hesitation to flip off the 'Cons - are marks of praise in a Wrecker's optics. Being from Uraya himself, Wheeljack's no stranger to doing dumbaft things to both survive and stave off boredom, so he miiiight get a chance to trade irritation techniques with him.

On a more serious note, Wheeljack also knows how damaging that can be to the processor. He knew many fellow lowly mechanics in his old work days who had massive meltdowns over their lot in life, some even choosing to drive off and disappear somewhere in the canyons and let the mechanimals eat their remains. Now Smokey strikes him as the tough type. The type who power through and vent in a healthier way. But that doesn't mean the mind or Spark completely gets over the ordeal.

So, to make sure things go well for the kid, Wheeljack will occasionally take Smokescreen out for a patrol, usually in the areas with fewer light pollution. He kickstarts the conversations by reminiscing over Uraya, asking for a compare and contrast with the Mithril Sea. Usually that leads to a long talk and a higher spirited Smokescreen.

Other times, if he notices the kid getting antsy or trying to find something to do to occupy himself, Wheeljack will take Smokescreen off to spar and chat. That helps to regulate his emotions - though it doesn't stop his worry about Chromia.

Wheeljack can understand that. He can also understand, having dealt with gangs more, that the Axelators aren't gonna be pleased to find Smokescreen in such good condition, assuming they lived.

Luckily for the future Prime, Wheeljack's an expert handling those types. And he's more than willing to keep a digit on the pulse of interstellar communications for word on them or Smokescreen's sister.

Thanks again, this was awesome!

I’m on board with the “Adar was/is Celeborn” theory purely because I want this crack exchange -

Adar/Celeborn: You cheated on me with Sauron!

Galadriel: Well you also cheated on me with Sauron so the scales are balanced

Adar/Celeborn: What?? In what-

Galadriel: You left me, your wife, for 1000 years, to have a family and children with him

Adar/Celeborn: Okay, well, you fell in love with him. Which means you weren’t even in love with me in the first place. Which is worse

Galadriel: YOU LITERALLY HAD HIS CHILDREN

Adar/Celeborn: You married me for all eternity wiTHOUT EVEN BEING IN LOVE WITH ME

High King Gil-Galad, to Elrond: Still think he’s fake and they’re not married?

Elrond: Oh no, I take it back, they’re definit- oh my god Galadriel do not challenge him to a duel there is nothing wrong with your womb gods above

I think it would be just and proportionate and funny for a Mexican director and producer to make a campy movie musical about social issues in France, include no French people in the production at all, write the movie in Spanish and then have someone translate it into French, and then cast like. Someone from Belgium or the French speaking part of Switzerland and someone from Senegal for Authenticity, and film the entire thing in Mexico except for the 50 establishing shots of the Eiffel Tower.

[ingravinoveritas]

wtf is that all she has to say about her boyfriend michael fans praised him more than. so is this her saying the show phenomenal or her boyfriend cos honestly this chick don't make sense what ur thoughts on this post

Hi there! And oh, wow. I've had a little time to process this now that I'm home, and I think the biggest thing that comes to mind is how this Insta story feels so...obligatory, and the bare minimum. As you said, it's not clear whether Anna is talking about the production itself or Michael's performance, and there is hardly any energy or enthusiasm to the post, especially not compared to the multiple posts AL made about Photobombing Michael J. Fox at the BAFTAs.

It becomes even more noticeable when you look at it next to the Insta story that Georgia posted:

Georgia and David didn't even attend the show tonight, and yet they hyped Michael up in a way Anna did not. You can feel the warmth and silliness and love in how they're rooting for him and cheering him on--David, in his manic Scottish way, and Georgia in her more sarcastic/dry English way--and how they seem genuinely excited for Michael. Yet I got absolutely none of that from AL's post.

All of the above is augmented by the choice of pictures in the post, with David and Georgia's photo centering Michael, literally and figuratively. He is the focus of the picture and of their attention, and the message there seems to be that Michael is what David and Georgia are most excited about. In contrast, the picture AL used is of a nearly empty dimly lit stage with a hospital bed on it, and I do not think that is by accident.

As I have said previously, my reaction is never to any one post in isolation, but to the continuation of a pattern of posts/comments from Anna over the course of several years. The same thing happened when production photos were released of Michael as Prince Andrew a few months ago, and when he played Chris Tarrant in Quiz in 2021:

AL hated the wig then, and my feeling is that she hates the wig Michael is wearing now, as well as the pyjamas that are his costume for a significant portion of the play and how he looks in them. I think that she does not care at all about the play itself or its significance to Michael, and has no desire to hype him up because his appearance in Nye is not what she considers "attractive." In addition, a fan posted stage door pictures on Twitter, including one with AL, and it seems to very much echo the lack of enthusiasm in her Insta story.

So yes, I think AL's post seems very generic (at best). It makes her come across as disinterested and somehow "removed" from both Michael and the show itself, again in contrast to David and Georgia's picture that conveys the exact opposite.

Those are my thoughts, at any rate, and I could be completely off the mark, but as always I'd be glad to hear from my followers about what you think. Thanks for writing in! x

Genuinely, shit like this is why blame can't be solely put on EA's doorstep for how the game turned out

I've already seen people defend this as "he misspoke" and this is just not true. I was scared they would do this to Davrin as soon as I saw Assan and the hype about what a cute little critter he was... well, apparently he was given more care and thoughtful consideration than his caretaker.

I saw a real Stanley cup at a store yesterday and wth they're so ugly why do people collect them
