Milo Thatch

“On this day, in the year 1540, Francisco Vasquez de Coronado began his quest for the fabled Seven Cities of Gold in the American Southwest. He wasn’t successful. Maybe I should add that to my bucket list. Everyone said Atlantis wasn’t real, and I proved them wrong, so I could prove this one wrong too.”

“Sunshine.” He nodded. He couldn’t argue that sunshine was great. Kristoff wasn’t against sunshine on the whole. But, it usually meant heat which melted ice. So if you were trying to ice skate outside? Well, it wasn’t great. “Warm days are great for the most part.” He said, with a shrug of his shoulders.

Milo just wasn’t a fan of the cold. Sure, he could see the appeal of it, and every once in awhile it was nice but on a full time basis? No thanks. “Overall, I’d rather live somewhere warm than somewhere that was cold all the time. I couldn’t stand that.” He shrugged lightly. “Everyone’s different though.”

“Snow’s not your favorite?” Kristoff asked, surprised by the other man’s words. Why was he hearing from so many people that they didn’t love snow. He couldn’t  understand it. “What is your favorite then?”

“Good ol’ sunshine.” You could never go wrong with sunshine. Well, as long as you wore sunscreen of course. But, sunshine was great, it didn’t ruin plans and you could be outside. “I prefer warm days.”

He looked at her. "You're a force of nature, Kida. You're this incredible woman. Beautiful, intelligent, fierce, an amazing sense of humor. And I am just awkward and I'm nothing special. But, if you think that I am interesting then I must be." He replied. "It's your opinion that matters most to me."

Milo heard his phone beep and looked down. “That’s Audrey now. She’s with Sweet and Vinny at her place. They’re all safe.” He told Kida. It was a relief to him, because he knew his friends were all in one place, and Kida was here with him. Everyone was okay. He moved to sit next to her. “Well, I can tell you one thing. As bad as this storm is, New York City is not going to be submerged.” He still didn’t quite understand how it had happened to Atlantis. “Do you ever want to go back?” He asked, curiously.

On the news of her friends, Kida exhaled and then pulled her shoulders back. “That’s wonderful news. That makes me feel a lot more content now,”  She slowly sat back in the couch, relaxing only slightly. Slouching was bad for the back. “I miss it sometimes of course – My father, people I knew. It was home. But I don’t know if I could ever go back permanently now,” Kida explained, making the occasional expressive hand gesture. “How could I go back when now I know there is so much more going on? I simply couldn’t. It’s never even been a thought really.”

He smiled lightly. "You know if you ever want to go for a visit, I would love to go with you. If you want. I just...I like spending time with you Kida." Damnit why was this so hard? "What I am trying to say is that I...you mean everything to me. I love you. And I don't expect you to feel the same way. I just needed you to know." He had told himself that he needed to speak up and say how he felt but now he felt like crawling into a hole.

After a couple more lightning strikes, Kida shifted from her position next to one window and began to slowly circle the room. “That’s very lovely of you Milo, truly. You know how much I admire your good heart,” She faced him with a gentle smile. “But that doesn’t help answer whether everyone else is safe or not,” Kida chuckled lightly. She walked over to rest a hand on his shoulder, smile still present. “Do you know if Audrey had any plans to see Sweet and Vinny? Perhaps they’re all together?” Kida moved again to sit down on the couch. “The only big storm we ever had was the one that submerged the city.”

Milo heard his phone beep and looked down. “That’s Audrey now. She’s with Sweet and Vinny at her place. They’re all safe.” He told Kida. It was a relief to him, because he knew his friends were all in one place, and Kida was here with him. Everyone was okay. He moved to sit next to her. “Well, I can tell you one thing. As bad as this storm is, New York City is not going to be submerged.” He still didn’t quite understand how it had happened to Atlantis. “Do you ever want to go back?” He asked, curiously.

Kida watched out of the window as the skies began to darken. “Do you know if all the others are at home, and safe?” She asked. Her hands adjusted around her mug. Another flash lit up the sky. Kida turned to look at Milo. || @adventureseekcr

“I’m not sure. But, I’m worried about them too, Kida.” He assured her. “I’m just glad I know you’re safe.” He worried about the people he cared about. “I tend to worry a lot when it comes to the people who mean the most to me.” But, he couldn’t help it. He went silent for a moment. “Did you ever have storms like this back home?”

Kristoff had gotten done with work early. So he’d decided to go for a walk and while it was cold out, it didn’t necessarily bother him, and he quite enjoyed the snow that was on the ground. He looked around for any sign of ice that he could see. But it didn’t appear to be any out at the moment. “What a beautiful day. Snow is wonderful.”

Milo had finished work at the museum and was out for a bit. He heard someone speak and nodded. “Yeah, it certainly is. Snow is not my favorite but it’s not the last on the list.” As long as he wasn’t snowed in, he didn’t hate it.

“If you are here to try your luck with me, then I really do wish you luck because you will likely be unsuccessful,” Kida turned with a raised eyebrow to the stranger. “If some creep is making you uncomfortable, do not worry I can take care of you,” She flashed a smile. “You can trust in me.”

“Remind me not to get on your bad side.” Milo said, letting out a chuckle. He moved next to her and offered her a drink. “I thought you might like some company.” Kida was definitely a force of nature, but that was one of the reasons Milo was so attracted to her. No one could deny she was incredible.

“Whoa, calm down, Thatch,” Audrey laughed a little. “Because this place if full of lonely and drunk assholes, that’s why. And I’m not saying its a guarantee. But still.” She smiled. “And as a someone who can also notice those sorts of things, she is very attractive.” Audrey shrugged. “Well, if you don’t want someone else making a move on her, why don’t you? Since we all know you like her.”

Milo laughed a little too much. “I don’t like her. That’s ridiculous. What would make you think...” Damnit. “Okay, fine. Maybe I do like her. Maybe I’m kind of in love with her.” There he said it. “But, I can’t just...Audrey, it’s complicated. For one thing, she’s Kida. She’s amazing, and beautiful and intelligent, and witty. And I’m just...me.”

A smile rest of Kida’s face as they kissed, and grew some more as Milo pulled away. “There we go. Your tradition is fixed,” She said gently, before hugging Milo tightly. “Hopefully we have another good year.”

He smiled lightly. “Yeah, I think it will be a great year. But, then any year with you in my life is a great year, so I can’t really complain, can I?” She was what made things great, after all. Kida meant more to him than he could say.

“You did not?” Kida gasped and shook her head. “That is very sad. We cannot have you start the new year without a kiss! It’s tradition,” Without a moments thought, she rested her hands on the side of Milo’s neck and smiled at him. “Happy New Year, Milo.” Kida said before placing a gentle kiss on his lips.

Milo was surprised but not disappointed when her lips met his. He returned the gentle kiss, reaching up to caress her face, before pulling back to look at her. “Happy New Year, Kida.” He murmured, softly.

“Because I look really good in it, Milo,” Audrey rolled her eyes playfully. “It’s almost like you don’t understand how fashion works.” She put a hand on his shoulder. “Milo, you’re my favorite nerd, you know that, right? And me calling you a nerd comes from a place of love.” She snorted a laugh when he got flustered about Kida. “I didn’t ask that, so you’re totally looking for her. You should find her because she looks super hot tonight. Like… I don’t know, it’s probably because I’m a little drunk. But still. You should probably find her before midnight when everyone starts kissing and shit. So, y’know, she doesn’t accidentally on purpose break some poor idiot’s arm if he tries to make a move on her?”

He was about to comment that he clearly didn’t care how Kida looked (which was a LIE) when something else she said caught his attention. “You think someone might try and make a move on her?” He asked. “Tonight? Really?” Suddenly, he felt incredibly irritated. “I mean, why would someone do that? Not that Kida isn’t extremely attractive, because she is. I mean, speaking as someone who can notice when a woman is attractive. Just because you know, uh...” He cleared his throat.

“Then I guess you might say that everyone in Atlantis can handle their alcohol,” Kida shrugged before looking back out over the balcony. “I am. I had to move from where I was originally. Some girl almost threw up on me. I would normally have sympathy and help her, were she ill. But it is all self inflicted. So no sympathy.” She paused and looked over to Milo with an inquisitive smile. “Did you get your midnight kiss? You said it’s tradition that everyone have one.”

Milo made a face. People could be awful at parties. He then blushed lightly before offering her a smile. “No, actually, I did not.” He wasn’t the type to just kiss someone at random even for the sake of tradition. He wanted it to mean something, to be someone he had genuine feelings for. Otherwise, what was the point?

“I just do not understand why all these people are acting so ridiculous. I have had five glasses of wine and I could still hit a target with a throwing knife.” Kida rolled her eyes as she walked past a woman, leaning against her friend for support. “This is ridiculous.”

“You’re one of a kind, Kida.” Milo had said it before but it always rang true. “Not everyone can hold their alcohol. It affects everyone differently. Some people are lightweights. One drink and bam, they’re knackered. Others can drink fifty soldiers under the table.” He chuckled lightly. “It all just depends on your bodies tolerance level.” He paused for a moment. “Are you enjoying the fireworks?”

Audrey laughed. “I wasn’t thinking about jeans,” she said, shoving his shoulder a bit. “Just a dress that was’t so tight.” She smiled at her friend. “Just a teeny tiny bit,” she showed by pinching her fingers close together. “It’s not the worst outfit you’ve ever worn. It’s almost cute. But I know you, Milo, I know the nerd that’s hiding under there.” She poked him a bit on his chest, teasing lightly. “Have you seen Kida? Has she seen you?”

“Hey, you’re the one who picked it out.” He reminded her. He then made a face. “Cute? I don’t wanna be cute.” He was tempted to roll his eyes at her but resisted the urge. “I’m not a nerd. I’m just...okay, I’m a nerd.” He couldn’t help it. “What? No. I don’t...I’m not looking for Kida!” That would be ridiculous. It wasn’t like he’d been searching for her since they got here.

Audrey shifted in her heels, adjusting her dress a bit. The ballroom was so stuffy, so fancy. Maybe at some point she would ditch this one and head upstairs to the other party. But for now she was here, with her friends. “Remind me, why did I wear this thing? Other than obviously, I look amazing.” She laughed a bit, taking a sip from her champagne glass. She forgot how many she’d already had. Not too many, but at least three. She looked over at her friend. “And look at you! You’re, well, you still kind of look like a nerd. But a fancier nerd.” || @adventureseekcr

“Because it’s a black tie event and they would’ve laughed you out of the building if you had shown up in jeans.” He muttered. “Are you already tipsy?” Milo just shook his head at her. “Hey! I will have you know this outfit is very fashionable!” He defended. Oh, who was he kidding? She was right. He was a nerd. He would always be a nerd. He was doomed.
