Line 28:
* ''[[Toradora!]]'' is a good example of this trope. With a confusing [[Love Dodecahedron]] and twice your daily serving of [[Will They or Won't They?]] , {{spoiler|Taiga and Ryuuji ''finally''}} get upgraded from [[Platonic Life Partners|...whatever they were,]] to {{spoiler|a couple in episode 24, where Ryuuji [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|proposes]] [[Tear Jerker|to Taiga.]]}}
* At the end of ''[[Virgin Love]]'' Kaoru and Daigo upgrade from [[Fuck Buddies]] to lovers after Kaoru overcomes his commitment issues.
* In the ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' manga, {{spoiler|Ed}} and {{spoiler|Winry}} play out this trope well. Before leaving for the west, {{spoiler|Ed}} somewhat "confesses" his feelings to {{spoiler|Winry}} at the train station, using the words: "It's equivalent exchange! I'll give you half of my life, so give me half of yours!" Though he corresponds alchemy with love, {{spoiler|Winry}} acknowledges what he really means, resulting in her agreeing to give him all of her life. Then, she quickly corrects herself, being flustered when those words dawned on her. Depending on how you want to interpret it (some say this was a proposal, while others say it was merely a confession), {{spoiler|Ed}} and {{spoiler|Winry}} end up with two children anyway, not to mention a wedding ring on {{spoiler|Edward}}'s finger. After spending their entire life denying any romantic feelings, they pass their comfort zone and hit home run!
* In ''Mobile Suit [[Gundam Seed]]'', Mu la Flaga and Murrue Ramius manage to upgrade from [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]] into an actual relationship only after they've defected from the Earth Alliance and are thus no longer officially constrained by the military's rules against fraternization.
* At the end of ''[[Happy Lesson]]'', Chitose's mothers decide that he's a grown man and doesn't need mother figures anymore...he needs ''wives''. They all change into bridal gowns and marry the poor guy on the spot.

== [[Film]] ==
* [[Firefly (TV series)|Simon and Kaylee]] finally get it on at the very end of ''[[The Movie|Serenity]]''. {{spoiler|[[Squick|With River watching.]] }}
* Modesty Blaise and her sidekick in the [[Modesty Blaise (film)|1967 movie version]] (and they ''sing'' about it). This is one of the reasons [[The Movie]] is considered [[Canon Discontinuity]].
* In ''[[Kung Fu Panda 2]]'', Tigress has changed from a bitter [[The Resenter|resenter]] of Po becoming the Dragon Warrior, to his best friend with some [[Ship Tease]] of becoming still more to him.
