Brand me with your hands so everyone can see. by sundollop

Summary
Max arches a brow. “Carlton, though? You two are dating and you don’t even kiss? Is it just a preference thing?”
Will sighs, resigned. He drops his hands. “Okay. Honestly?” He hesitates, then shrugs. “He was a bad kisser. And I just… couldn’t get excited around him. At all.”
The reaction is immediate and merciless. Dustin makes a dramatic gagging noise. El gasps like she’s been handed gossip gold. Lucas high-fives Max, shaking her hand in his.
Mike doesn’t say anything. He just watches Will, watches the way he shrugs it off, the way he laughs a little too loud, the way his ears go red.
Or, Will's new boyfriend is a bad kisser. Mike thinks it's a crime that no one has kissed Will properly. He's on a goal to change that, Carlton be damned.

Summary
My first work ever finished on AO3! Fluffy and Angsty but mostly fluffy Byler fic, takes place 1 week after s4. :) Not in anyway a prediction for s5, I don't think any of this will happen in this exact way nor wrap up like this, I just needed something to occupy my time before that.

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.
