Indirect Kiss: Difference between revisions

* Happened in ''[[Kidou Tenshi Angelic Layer]]'', {{spoiler|Tamayo}} sharing out of {{spoiler|Koutarou}}'s bag of chips.

* Lucia in ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]'' keeps freaking out about this sort of thing, especially in the chapter when her emotions go out of control while visiting Kaito (anime: influenced by magical item; manga: drunk), until they finally do kiss.

* In ''[[FLCL]]'', Kitsurubami unintentionally does this with a drink she was holding for Amarao. She's horrified after she realizes what she's done.

* Parodied in ''[[Gakuen Heaven]]'': keeping up the [[Boys Love]] spirit that pervades the whole series, the whole cast that consists of varying degrees of [[Bishonen]] discuss who was it that used a character's toothbrush, something that would constitute an indirect kiss of the creepy kind. Did I mention that everyone is naked in one of those [[Hot Springs Episode]] type of situations? As it turns out {{spoiler|a cat was the culprit. Of course.}}

* In ''[[Onegai Twins]]'', a flustered Miina accepts a can of soda from her love interest Maiku, literally referring to it as an indirect kiss later on.

* The [[Last Kiss]] between {{spoiler|Riki and Iason Mink}} in ''[[Ai no Kusabi]]'' was like this, with them pressing the tips of their cigarettes together as they share both a [[Last Kiss]] ''and'' [[One Last Smoke]] right before {{spoiler|Iason bleeds to death after [[Family-Unfriendly Violence|having his legs cut off]] ''and'' the place they're in blows up. ''[[Together in Death]]'', indeed.}}.

* Shizuku of ''[[Kämpfer]]'' intentionally invokes this. Asking Natsuru to pass her first the soda, then two cups. She pours into both, picks one up, but only kisses it. Then she offers it to Natsuru. The entire crew is there for this, and they all act suprised, except Natsuru himself, who tries to back away. Eventually Shizuku just does away with the indirectness.

* In the ''[[Love Hina]]'' manga, Keitaro contemplates an indirect kiss when Narusegawa offers him her drink to wash down some pre-exam antacids.

** In a later chapter, they share an indirect kiss through a human intermediary, {{spoiler|Mutsumi, who explains that she kissed them both for this express purpose.}}

* In Kelley Armstrong's ''Exit Strategy'', Jack smokes constantly while Nadia has quit smoking. Jack lets Nadia take puffs off his cigarette, since she won't smoke a full cig but she can rationalize sharing as not really smoking. Neither of them ever discuss it, but the third point in the love triangle notices and gets nasty towards Jack about it. After it's pointed out to her, Nadia is uncomfortable with the intimacy of sharing a cig.

* Not a straight example of this trope, but possibly an early proto-form of it: in ''[[Anne of Green Gables|Rainbow Valley]]'', Rosemary West can't help but notice that Rev. Meredith put his lips on the same spot of a tree-bark-cup that she did when she drank from it earlier, and thinks about how she was told that when that happened, the destinies of the two involved will be linked together...

* In ''Midnight's Children'', the narrator describes seeing a Bollywood movie that got around the conservative social conventions of the day by having the hero kiss an apple, then pass it to the heroine so that she can kiss the same spot. For the pre-teen narrator it ends up being more erotic than if they had simply kissed in the first place.

* A version of the [[Celtic Mythology|legend of]] [[Atlantis|the city of Ys]] mentions that Dahut, the scandalous princess, makes her new-lover-of-the-evening drink from the cup she drunk from and bite from the fruit she bit from.

* Cloud's immaturity in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' is showcased in his reluctance to perform the [[Kiss of Life]] on a little girl.

* In a cutscene in ''[[Disgaea]] II'', the party is surrounded by monsters and attempt to use a magic flute to distract them. Adell tries playing it first, but is proven to have no musical talent whatsoever, so Rozalin takes the flute from him and puts it to her lips -- at which point she realizes the significance of this act. She then [[Tsundere|forcefully discards the flute into her servant's forehead]]. Axel later finds the flute and plays it, but this trope isn't mentioned.

* [[Beavis and Butthead]] once got kicked out of a lingerie shop because they went around touching all the crotches of the panties and insides of the bras, figuring all of them will eventually be bought and worn by hot chicks.

* Averted in the ''[[Futurama]]'' episode "Roswell That Ends Well", in which a stereotypical 1950's diner has a sign on the door telling patrons, "One teen to a malt please."
