"I just know I feel good when I'm around you."
— Miles in Thunderstruck

The relationship between Miles Hollingsworth III and Tristan Milligan, also known as Triles (Tristan/Miles), began after a kiss they shared in Thunderstruck. They managed to maintain a low-profile relationship until Miles told his dad about their relationship in a moment of anger. They had broken up as of Hero vs. Villain due to Tristan figuring out that Miles still had feelings for Maya, but after some time on bad terms, they get back together in #CheckYourPrivilege. Tristan later ends the relationship during #GetYouAManThatCanDoBoth.

Friendship History[]

Overview[]

Tristan and Miles met through Maya Matlin at an ages 13 and up concert before going on a school summer trip to Paris. Tristan is initially distrusting of Miles, calling him "trouble". They later become friends during the summer Paris trip when Miles is accepting of Tristan's homosexuality. Throughout the semester, they grow closer and hang out a lot along with Maya. After Miles and Maya's break up, they ditch the school dance and hang out at Miles' house. During the storm, they share a romantic moment and kiss, only to be interrupted by Winston. They were a couple until Tristan figured out Miles still had feelings for his ex Maya. After some time apart they got back together and hit a few bumps in the road with their relationship, (i.e. the bus crash, Milesā€™ cheating, Tristanā€™s recovery), before Tristan ended things once and for all so Miles could pursue his writing career and he could get better on his own.

Tristan is happy to hug Miles.

In All I Wanna Do, Tristan is roommates with Miles and Winston Chu during the Paris trip. When Miles catches Tristan staring at him while he is changing, he makes a cocky comment, teasing Tristan. This causes Tristan to pretend he's straight by calling Maya his girlfriend and going as far as kissing her. Winston and Miles find this comical since they know Tristan is gay, but Tristan interprets their laughter as bullying, even though Miles claims they are just joking. Tristan puts up a "privacy screen," which Miles takes down. He tells Tristan that they laughed at him because they knew he was gay all along; he claims that he is happy that Tristan is his roommate, and then they hug.

Later, in the gym, Tristan surprises Miles with sushi and origami since he knows he likes them and informs Miles this is his grand gesture to fix things with him. Miles decides to stay for lunch with Tristan. Tristan explains to Winston that he thought his sushi lunch was going to be a hit but it wasn't because Miles barely talked and didn't open his origami love notes and he can't figure out why. Winston points out that Miles is staring at Maya down the hallway and Tristan is upset to see this. Tristan finds Miles in the hallway skipping the assembly and then says he is surprised he is alone. Miles asks what that means, andTristan says he thought it was the intervention that pushed him away but it was what happened after that. Miles says that he simply drove Maya to her appointment. Tristan tells him that he still has feelings for her. Miles questions this by saying "because I gave her a ride?" Tristan replies "Because you stare at her across the hall."
