Depending on the circumstance, this can be used to serve a variety of purposes. Quite frequently, this can be employed to show, in a dramatic fashion, how much the characters care for one another by [[LoveConfession declaring their love]] or by sharing TheBigDamnKiss during the height of a climactic battle. Equally as common, flirting under fire is used for comedic effect by having the characters flirt and be cute with one another during a tense moment of action. The comedic application of this trope can also be used between two villainous lovers, often to illustrate their evilness by [[EvilIsSexy taking pleasure]] in death and destruction.
