Added DiffLines:

* ''Webcomic/FiveNightsAtFreddysLostSouls'': Freddy often comes across as this, due to his strictness and coldness towards his "siblings". Subverted as he feels he ''has'' to act that way in order to keep all of them safe.

* {{Zigzagged|Trope}} in ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''. Summer goes back and forth on this. Earlier on, she was much closer to being actually aloof and uncaring about Morty. But as the show went on, she's become closer to Morty and cares about him, even if she doesn't always show it.

* ''VideoGame/ChicoryAColorfulTale'': Downplayed inversion with Clementine. She's spent more time working on art than her older sibling Pizza, but doesn't have any bad feelings about not being the next wielder, even inviting Pizza to participate in their art classes and it's clear the two siblings are on good terms.



* Alex Mercer of ''{{VideoGame/Prototype}}''. [[spoiler:Well, the real Alex, that is]].

Added DiffLines:

*''Series/HimitsuNoHanazono2007'': Wataru Kataoka is more serious minded than his wacky siblings, and is also the oldest, having to step up as the parent after their dad died. This has resulted in some unforseen consequences, like his younger brother Osamu being too smug and entitled as a result of being coddled.

* Averted in the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' fanfic ''FanFic/OnceUponAFarmhouse''. Sam and Jim Kirk don't see one another often (thanks to Sam being away at a space school) but they are on very good terms.
* When you have a [[spoiler:adopted]] brother like Kerlongsj who as man, has earned the respect of several Infinite Stratos pilots, including the Brunhilde, you would think that Anaton has a lot of inferior problems. Strangely enough, in [FanFic/InfiniteStratosToTheOtherEndOfTheWorld], he and Kerlongsj aren't like that. They have a good relationship and don't seem to be bothered by the huge gaps between them. Kerlongsj knows Anaton will get close to him.

* Having the most experience being independent of horde Prime's Hive Mind, Hordak in ''Fanfic/{{Purple|SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower}}'' unwittingly took on this role for Wrong Hordak/Kadroh and the dozens of clones Entrapta provided sanctuary for. Hordak being... well... ''Hordak'', he is grouchy and reluctant in this role, but he behaves for Entrapta and basic decency for his new family.
* ''Fanfic/TheBridge'' subverts it in the case of Godzilla III a.k.a Junior and his "older brother" [=SpaceGodzilla=] a.k.a Xenilla. At first they are extremely antagonistic, but later on it's revealed Xenilla was GoodAllAlong and had been playing the villain role because he thought their relationship unmendable after Xenilla tried to kill their father. He's actually been extremely concerned for his little brother's wellbeing and remorseful for his acting.

* Rokk Krinn (ComicBook/CosmicBoy) has a distant relationship with his younger brother Pol partially because Rokk left their homeworld to look for work when he was fourteen. In the Pre-Boot continuity Pol followed Rokk to join the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes and died in a HeroicSacrifice that made his big brother regret the distance he'd enforced in their relationship.

Added DiffLines:

* In ''Fanfic/MoreFamilyMoreHappinessRight'', Alberto acts quite cold and harsh towards Giulia.


Added DiffLines:

* ''Fanfic/TheStoryOfApolloDaphneAndLucaAnItalianTragedy'': Because of his [[LoveMakesYouDumb strong crush on Luca]] who make him oblivious and slightly uncaring towards other people's needs and feelings, Alberto treats Giulia with indifference and mild annoyance and (while accidentally) often makes her [[ThirdWheel feel excluded]].

Added DiffLines:

* ''Fanfic/MyDeepestDarkestSecret'': This is the main reason on how Solon got so far in hiding his true heritage, despite him [[BadLiar being unable to fib to save his life]], as they've been kind of ignorant of him recently.
** ''All'' of the vampires (except Noa and Jino) forget about Solon when Sooha arrived in Decelis. Best shown in ''My God, What Have We Done?'', where Jino worries about leaving Solon alone while they go on a group date with Solon, meanwhile Jaan says that [[BecauseYouCanCope Solon's independent enough to be left alone]]. However, there's been implications that they were like this even ''before'' Sooha.
** Among the six of them, Jaan is arguably the worst offender. The reason for his behavior was because Solon accidentally clawed Noa when [[MyInstinctsAreShowing his werewolf half started acting up]] a few years prior to the story. He crosses to BigBrotherBully territory when at his worst.

* [[HolierThanThou Matt]] [[SexyPriest Castor]] in the ''Literature/FelixCastor'' novels tends to this. And then it all goes a bit BreakTheHaughty.

* ''Literature/TheSunneInSplendour'': The future Richard III has two much older brothers, the extroverted and fun Edward and the stoic, aloof Edmund. Early in the novel, however, it's Edmund who comes to Richard's rescue when Edward is off seducing the boy's nanny. Just as Richard begins to appreciate Edmund, he's tragically murdered.

-->'''Silvia''': Shut up.

* The title character of Creator/FrancisFordCoppola's ''Tetro'' left his little brother behind for Argentina with a note saying he'd explain it later. When he shows up in Argentina, Tetro continues to be aloof to him. [[spoiler:Then it turns out that he's not really his ''[[LukeIAmYourFather brother...]]'']]
