Line 3:
A variant of the [[Security Cling]], but differs a bit in timing and execution. Usually, this will take place after a large emotional ordeal when some character, in search of some catharsis, will finally just break down and bury her head into someone else's chest, sobbing and weeping.
There are two main varieties. If the character whose shirt is being used as a handkerchief is male, the character crying will frequently be female, and the reason this situation is occurring is due to a height differential, [[One Head Taller|since men are on average taller than women]]. The point will be to accentuate the guy's stronger, more protective attributes. Frequently, the two are a couple, and in this case, it will serve as a sort of [[Cry Cute]].
Line 19:
== [[Anime]] & [[Manga]] ==
* Mikuru does this in the faux [[Dating Sim]] Yuki does in episode 25 of ''[[Haruhi-chan]]''.
* One of the pivotal scenes in ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma
* In the final scene of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion|End of Evangelion]]'', {{spoiler|Shinji breaks down sobbing onto Asuka's chest. After attempting to strangle her.}}
* In ''[[Code Geass]]'', Lelouch cries into CC's chest after {{spoiler|shooting his half-sister Euphemia.}}
Line 63:
** It happens again in "Deadalive" after Mulder {{spoiler|comes back from the dead and is in a coma.}}
* ''[[Doctor Who]]''. When the Doctor is apparently killed in ''Pyramids of Mars'', Sarah Jane Smith sobs into his chest, causing the [[Not Quite Dead]] Doctor to wake up and complain that she's shrinking his shirt.
** The same thing happens in "The Impossible Astronaut", when Amy sobs into the Eleventh Doctor's chest just after he appears to have been shot dead.
* ''[[Skins]]'': Emily breaks down and cries into her father's chest after {{spoiler|she discovers Naomi has cheated on her.}} His comforting her is a huge [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]], though, especially when you consider how unsupportive her whole family was of her being gay.
* ''[[Joan of Arcadia]]'' Adam cries into Joan's chest while watching {{spoiler|home videos of him with his mother, who committed suicide several years ago.}} Joan actually approached Adam and drew his head into her chest, so it was a "motherly" moment, but they're love interests.
Line 73:
* In the ''[[NCIS]]'' episode "Swan Song", Ziva cries into Tony's chest in the elevator after {{spoiler|Frank dies}}. When the elevator doors open, McGee is comforting Abby, which leads to the four of them in a [[Group Hug]] in the elevator. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TVwK_S_Pjg Bring the tissue box.]
* From ''[[Flower Boy Ramyun Shop]]'' Eun Bi does this to {{spoiler|the image of her dead father after he dies}}, it's not until a little while later she realises it was Kang Hyuk.
* In the episode of [[Star Trek: The Next Generation]] where Troi loses her empathic power, she cries into Riker's chest while he comforts her.
* [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy]] cries into Angel's chest after smashing the master's bones in the episode "When She Was Bad."
Line 81:
* [[Mass Effect 2|Shepard]] can offer this option to Tali during her Loyalty Mission.
** Shepard can do the same for Liara during ''Lair of the Shadow Broker.''
* In ''[[Blaz Blue: Continuum Shift]]'', after Carl had a break down, Litchi offered to hug him and let him cry on her... [[Marshmallow Hell|chest]]. Despite some [[Dramatic Irony]] about {{spoiler|how Carl never knew that Litchi has in fact joined NOL and sided with the source of most of his anger, [[Abusive Parents|his father Relius]], the fact that Litchi still wanted to do ease his mind genuinely despite being technically his enemy definitely counts as a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]].}}
* In ''[[Persona 4]]'' when Rise cries after finding out the fact that her [[Idol Singer]]-self Risette IS a part of her that she can't give up, the Protagonist is given the option to do this. Seeing as how doing it makes the Social Link romantic...
* In ''[[Magical Diary]]'', the protagonist can end up soaking William's robes with tears after Damien breaks her heart. He's more a [[Big Brother Instinct|older brother figure]] than a romantic one, though, and the pair comisserates over the fact that Damien betrayed them both.
