Accidental Hand Hold occurs when Alice and Bob reach for the same item and find themselves holding hands instead. This can lead to Alice and Bob instantly letting go, pretending the incident never happened or letting go in disgust with A or B looking sad. Sometimes, Alice and Bob blush, knowing that they're holding hands, but don't act on their feelings. If they're lucky, [[RelationshipUpgrade Alice and Bob can turn to each other, before leaning in and kissing]].

* In an episode of ''RegularShow'', Rigby reaches inside the popcorn bowl and picks up Eileen's hand by mistake. Eileen smiles slightly, but Rigby quickly lets go of it and turns away from her.

* In HayateTheCombatButler this happens twice between Hayate and Hinagiku. Once when he is having dinner at her place [[spoiler: and staying there for a few days]] and both are nervous (being alone as Yukiji is late) and try to make tea, winding up clasping hands over the tea pot. They both blush heavily and pause for a minute before Hayate jumps back and babbles about it being an "uncontrollable attraction". The second time happened when Hayate reached for the armrest between them and found himself holding Hina's hand instead [[HandsPlayInTheater at the movies]] [[spoiler: on their first date]].
