Summary
Will’s eyelashes flutter as he sinks further, pushing Lucas backwards, hands pressing tighter into the fabric of Lucas’s shirt, bunching it up just slightly at the waist. Mike aches and aches. He doesn’t know how he must look, slack-jawed and wide eyed, face burning at the sight of Will’s satisfied hum into another boy’s mouth.
Or: Will won’t stop kissing other boys, and Mike has no idea what to do with himself.

Summary
“Hello?”
“Will?” he could recognize that voice anywhere, even if it was more slurred and manic than it normally was, “It’s Mike.”
“I know,” Will rubbed his eyes, unsure why his childhood best friend was calling him from Indiana at 4 in the morning, “what do you want, Mike?”
“Come to Hawkins for Christmas,” Will was sure that was more of a demand than a request, “You can stay in the basement, or my room, or even Nancy’s. She probably won’t come home for Christmas, she never does.”
“Mike, it’s 4AM, what are you–”
“Just say you’ll come.”
“I’ll come.”

Will left Hawkins behind for the bigger and better things of New York City, until he got a drunken call from Mike on the night of Halloween, begging him to come home and visit him for Christmas.
Now it's Winter Break, and Will's driven over 10 hours to spend Christmas with the Wheeler's, only for all but Mike to be no where to be seen.
