History Webcomic / TrippingOverYou

* RagingStiffie: Liam when getting his first kiss from Milo... well, he ''is'' a teenager after all. Unfortunately, Milo is insensitive enough to make a joke about how "enthusiastic" Liam is. [[spoiler:Liam later gets his own back on him when Milo reacts rather favorably to him bringing up the subject of sex.]]

* SomethingElseAlsoRises: Liam's zipper is affected by Milo's proximity as much as the rest of him in [[http://trippingoveryou.com/comic/might-want-me-too/ these]] [[http://trippingoveryou.com/comic/that-enthusiastic/ strips]].

* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Milo pretty much takes any opportunity he can to play with Liam's hair.

* AllThereInTheManual: Understanding the first pages and the comments on them gets a lot easier if you have the cast page open.

* RelationshipUpgrade

* SecretRelationship

* TheirFirstTime: In chapter 5.

* BerserkButton: Milo and DirtyDancing.

* AManIsNotAVirgin: Averted; both Milo and Liam turn out to have no prior sexual experience and have to consult the Internet about how to perform TheirFirstTime.

* WordOfGod: there is a lot of information to be gleaned from the authors' answers to readers' comments and uStream chats.

* WhamLine: Liam to his father: [[spoiler:"And I've been so nervous I've gone a whole year not telling you--I'm dating a guy. And I'm sick of the person I am when I'm lying about it."]]

** Might actually fall into the category of AnguishedDeclarationOfLove. He confesses his feelings after the emotional trauma of what he thought was Liam's date with a girl, and so the setting and circumstances weren't ideal, nor is he exactly eloquent. Which contributes to why the confession is not, at first, received well.

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Milo resembles {{Mika}} a lot. Ostensibly [[ShrugofGod neither confirmed nor denied]] [[CouldSayItBut by the authors]].

* TheyDo
