History Heartwarming / Durarara

* Kadota's band reuniting with Kaztano in episode 6, after working all night to rescue him from kidnappers. Followed by the six of them going for breakfast at Russia sushi, happy as can be.

* For a light novel example [[http://anni-fiesta.livejournal.com/18606.html here]] [[http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=10207848 and here]]. Warning, there probably are spoilers. Read at your own risk.
* In volume nine's epilogue where [[spoiler: the Orihara twins]] admit that as much as [[spoiler: Izaya]] treats them like anyone else, they'll still think of him as family.

[[folder:Anime]]

* In the newest light novel, there is an example after [[spoiler: Shinra]] gets stabbed where [[spoiler: Izaya]] says, in a very tiny voice, "... can you tell them I stabbed you?" I don't know, seeing [[spoiler: Izaya]] like that is kind of a heartwarming moment for this troper.
** For this troper, after reading the entirety of volume nine any scene between those two becomes an automatic CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming. This troper's someone who manages to relate to [[spoiler: Izaya]] and has her own [[spoiler: Shinra]], so their interactions really hit home for her.

* In episode 25 we have a small, subtle example but an example nonetheless. As a man with a knife tries to kill Kasuka he's suddenly hit by a sign, obviously thrown by Shizuo. Kasuka turns to look at Shizuo hiding in the crowd. And when Shizuo splits, Kasuka gives a tiny smile. Perhaps the only ''genuine'' smile the guy has had on the show. [[WhenHeSmiles And it's adorable]].

* Celty having a dream in which she sees her head. "I am here, I am here."
* Walker and Erika finally finding each other at the end of episode eight. They start dancing with each other in the middle of the street.
* Shinra and Celty's conversation in Episode 12.
* Shinra and Celty's conversation with [[MadDoctor Shingen]] in Episode 14. Noticing a pattern with those two? Of course, this being [[RefugeInAudacity Shingen]], it is also a CrowningMomentOfFunny.
* When Simon types out 'save him' on Celty's PDA when she asked about Kida.
* You might have to squint a bit to see it, but in episode 23, when one of Saika's children stops Horada from killing someone, because "it would make Mother sad." He wasn't ordered to intervene, he just did, proving that despite all of Saika's BlueAndOrangeMorality, her daughters really do love her.
* Episode 24, when Masaomi and Saki reconcile.

* Minor, but still warming. In the first ED of the anime, look at the [[http://media.photobucket.com/image/durarara%20ed/saku-chan_album/DurararaED.jpg black "shadow" that's between and behind Shinra and Celty]]. It forms a heart.
** On that note, as [[MadLove creepy as their relationship is]], there's something adorable about the way Seiji and scar-neck girl/[[spoiler: Mika]] are holding each other in that ED.

** Same here! This just shows he's not a complete asshole that everyone think he is.

** Mikado's constant attempts at [[DeclarationOfProtection protecting]] [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl Anri]].
* Just the fact that while Mikado, Masaomi, and Anri are leaders of rival factions, [[ThreeAmigos they still care deeply about each other.]]

* In the [[http://anni-fiesta.livejournal.com/32129.html Everyone Gets Along]] omake, Mikado reveals that he cried when he found out that Kida was moving to Tokyo, but is still too embarrassed to tell him. It's not really surprising considering their relationship, but you can't help but gush about it anyway.
