When a [[Will They or Won't They?]]-type couple is on the verge of [[Relationship Upgrade|upgrading their relationship]], their friends will quickly vacate the area to give them some privacy. The less [[Genre Savvy]] friends may have to be shooed or pulled away. As may [[Children Are Innocent|children]]; adult friends may hurriedly cook up some [[I Need to Go Iron My Dog|implausible reason to leave]]. In some variations, the friends will spy on the couple to see how it goes. In others, the "couple" uses this trope to get others to leave, often by [[Fake
If the friends are a bunch of [[Jerkass|Jerkasses]] they might say this very loudly so that the couple in question can hear. Resulting in much blushing, and possibly a [[Snap Back]], as they [[Cannot Spit It Out]] once they know they have an audience. This sort of thing is a typical [[Moment Killer]].
Line 18:
* In ''[[Genshiken]]'', Sasahara and the other guys excuse themselves from Kousaka's apartment so he would be alone with Kasukabe.
* The "let's spy on them" variation was a trademark schtick of everybody else in the house when Ranma and Akane had to talk in ''[[Ranma One Half|Ranma 1/2]]''. This of course usually led to the interruption of said moments when someone inevitably either fell through the sliding doors, or got impatient and told them to [[Get On With It Already]]. The same thing happens with Ukyo and Shampoo.
* A variation: In ''[[Super Dimension Fortress Macross|Macross]]''/''[[Robotech]]'', when Hikaru/Rick and Misa/Lisa [[Fake
* Played straight multiple times and subverted once in ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)|Cardcaptor Sakura]]''. In the manga (and second movie of the anime), Tomoyo (and Meiling) often make excuses to disappear when Syaoran gets close to confessing his love to Sakura. Subverted once with Sakura and Yukito in the Path of Stars; everyone makes sure they enter together alone, Eriol even holds off his mischief for a while, but the talk that ensues is Yukito turning Sakura down and helping her realize that she loves him as family.
* Near the end of ''[[Gao Gai Gar]]'', the other GGG members keep Mamoru from going with Gai and Mikoto to her parents' grave, knowing that anything they say there (and afterwards) is likely going to be very private.
Line 39:
== Fan Fiction ==
* In ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero (Fanfic)|Kyon Big Damn Hero]]'', ''Nagato'' of all people enforces this at one point.
* In the ''[[Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers (Animation)|Galaxy Rangers]]'' fanfic ''Isn't Life Strange,'' Doc half-jokingly suggests this to Zach when they see Shane and Niko having a happy moment, despite both of them being laid up in Sickbay.
* Played with in the ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' fanfic ''[[Elemental Chess Trilogy (Fanfic)|Flowers of Antimony]].'' The military personnel, all of whom were privy to {{spoiler|Roy and Riza's [[Wacky Marriage Proposal]]}}, attempt to give them some privacy in a compartment on the train back to Central... except for the members of the Mustang unit, who left communications equipment in there with them and are listening intently to the conversation.
Line 109:
* At a big celebration party in ''[[Okami]]'', the player can sneak into Sakuya's tree and discover Kushi and Susano (the brewer and the lush, how fitting!) enjoying the scenery. However, there's no one to stop you from interrupting, save a few pointed remarks from the couple - in the end, Issun has to do the job himself and scold Ammy into leaving.
* In ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]'', {{spoiler|near the end of the game, Luke and Tear share a moment on the Albiore's deck while Noelle keeps Mieu from spying on them.}}
* In a chapter of ''[[Fire Emblem Elibe|FireEmblem: Rekka no Ken]]''), the party decides to split up to avoid attracting attention, leaving Eliwood and Ninian alone. Even though it was Eliwood who called for everyone to separate, Lyn was going for this trope and dragging along an oblivious Hector. It could even work as a twofer use of this trope, depending who you [[Ship
** In ''[[Fire Emblem Tellius (Video Game)|Path of Radiance]]'', Ranulf teasingly considers enacting this trope, though he is already interrupting Ike and Elincia's [[Moment Killer|moment alone]].
