{{quote|''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}JQdmHZD1ugI It's Guy Love]
''That's all it is,
''Guy Love,
''He's mine, I'm his,
''There's nothing gay about it
''In our eyes...
''It's Guy Love, between two guys!''
|'''J.D.''' and '''Turk'''|''[[Scrubs]]''}}
Two extremely close friends or partners, of the same gender, who are as close or closer than a romantic couple. They aren't romantically linked, but they might suffer withdrawals from not being around each other. There might even be a "break-up" episode. When one gets a boy/girl friend, you can almost certainly expect the [[Friend Versus Lover]] quarrel to be epic. Note that despite the trope name, '''Heterosexual Life Partners''' are [[Incompatible Orientation|not necessarily both heterosexual]].
Sometimes this is an extreme form of an [[Odd Couple]], in that the two are different as night and day. [[Those Two Guys]] may also acquire this label, as may the title characters of ''any'' show with a title of the form ''X and Y''. Don't expect them to be friendly to each other though, quite a few are [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]. In adventure stories, they are often [[Blood Brothers]].
Works often lampshade, mock or play with the relationship by throwing in some [[Homoerotic Subtext]], but that's by no means necessary. For fans' delight at such scenes or [[Ship Tease]]s, see [[Ho Yay]].
Compare with [[Chastity Couple]], [[Like Brother and Sister]], [[Platonic Life Partners]], and [[True Companions]].
