ooc | Warner & Milo

OMG these two! I can see them being weird BFFs in another life but idk that they are gonna in this one??? b/c warner and gen dated for awhile (he was probably her most serious boyfriend -- which isn’t saying a lot for gen tbh haha -- but also probably the best as in the actual best person that she’s dated) and I know you said that milo has ever liked the guys that she’s been with ???? 

also, now both warner and milo are into alice so yay love rivals!!!! i don’t think warner hates milo but he’s def a little jealous of him and part of him wishes he could be more like him and he’s 100% convinced that milo has way more of a chance with alice than he does. that being said i don’t think anyone else knows that warner likes alice?? he’s kinda kept it to himself (unlike milo haha) but I can also see where maybe milo may have picked up on it, since even tho warner’s never made a move on alice, he is also particularly nice to her??

Still Friends(?) | Milo & Gin

With Milo wrapped in Alice Lark, Gin found that Bingley had lost its charm. 

To be honest, the only thing that was keeping her here anymore was her mom. She wouldn’t have admitted it if you had asked her, but Milo had made life in this small town exciting (so much so, she forgot how lame Bingley could be). Milo was still her best friend (he always would be, whether he liked it or not) but things had been strained lately between them. 

Milo’s infatuation with Alice Lark had driven a wedge (one that Gin was beginning to think was ireservsable). If Milo wasn’t with Alice he was talking about her. It was disgusting (and so goddamn annoying). It made Gin want to throw something at his head (sometimes she did). Gin was often irritable and sarcastic, so her jealous behavior didn’t strike Milo as odd (plus he was an idiot who wouldn’t have noticed how Gin felt about him, even if she had chucked everything she owned at his head whenever he mentioned Alice).

There was only so much of the Alice-obsessed Milo that Gin could take and since the GMFT had had its layoffs, she and Milo hadn’t seen that much of each other. You once rarely saw one without the other, but now Gin found herself needing space and they could go days (sometimes more than a week) without seeing each other. 

Today she’d been sitting outside on the front steps of her apartment building, smoking a cigarette, when she saw him walk up the street towards her. She was somewhat surprised to see that he came alone. Had he been with Alice, she might have gone inside before he could speak to her, but the truth was, was that she missed him, so she stayed planted right where she was. 

“Where’s Alice?” Gin asked, suspiciously, putting out her cigarette. Maybe there’s trouble in paradise, she found herself hoping.

🐟 milo cross + alice lark

It had taken quite a lot of convincing, but after a few weeks of persistent pestering, Milo Cross has agreed to leave Bingley and accompany Alice Lark to Boston for the day. 

“You’ve really never been to Boston?” Alice asked as they walked out of the library. Alice had been working on a rather extensive project and needed information from a book the library in downtown Boston possessed but was unable to lend out.

“Nope,” Milo replied, grinning ear to ear at Alice. It was clear he was pleased to be out of the library, where he’d had been forced to maintain relative silence for the few hours she’d been there. Alice had tried to convince him to go out on his own, but he’d insisted on staying with her.

“Not even on school trips or anything?” Alice persisted. Milo shook his head.

“Aunt Alma wasn’t keen on road trips. Besides, there’s no reason to leave Bingley. I’ve got everything I need right there,” Milo explained. Alice paused to think of something Bingley might not have she could impress Milo with that.

“Have you ever been to an aquarium?” Alice asked. Milo frowned, shaking his head. “Then for once, Milo Cross, let me take you on the adventure!”

Within the hour, the pair were standing surrounded by gallons of water and hundreds of fish. Alice was observing Milo, however, as he stared up as a school of sunfish swam above them.

“How does it keep it all in there?” he asked, looking back to Alice. “The water and all?”

“Magic,” Alice replied with a wink. “…Or perhaps engineering. I’m a literature student– I really couldn’t say.”

“It is sort of magical, the whole thing,” Milo admitted, looking up again. He reached out his hand, managing to find Alice’s. She looked over at him and smiled. 

“And to think, you’d never have seen any of it if you hadn’t left Bingley,” Alice commented. It seemed as if the moment he heard the name of his beloved town, something clicked in the young man’s head.

“Speaking of, we should probably head back, yeah?” he pulled Alice in the direction of the exit, though she protested.

“But we’ve barely seen any of it!”

“Its getting so late and is such a drive back home.”

“Its barely even dark, Milo!”

“Yes, but its that time of year when the roads might freeze and think how tragic it would be if we ended up dead in a ditch somewhere?”

“Milo, you’ve being ridic-”

“Alice,” he cut her off, his face a bit more serious than she’d ever seen it. “Can’t we just please go home?”

“Yes… yes of course,” Alice said quickly. The seriousness that had clouded Milo’s face disappeared suddenly as he threw his arm around her shoulder, the pair heading out into the brisk New England winter air.
