* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' does this during the [[FallingInLoveMontage "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" montage]] with Simba and Nala accidentally tumbling down a hill together while playfully wrestling together. Simba ends up pinning Nala (the [[BrokenWinLossStreak only time]] he has ''ever'' done so) and she "rewards" him with a [[SmoochOfVictory surprise lick on the cheek]] before the two [[HeldGaze gaze into each other's eyes lovingly]] and nuzzle together.

* ''Series/DoctorWho''. One of the ShipTease moments between the Thirteenth Doctor and her companion Yasmin Khan is in the ActionPrologue of The Halloween Apocalypse" where after escaping the usual inescapable DeathTrap they fall into the open doors of the TARDIS, bounce off a trampoline which throws them onto a mattress where they lie on their backs next to each other, breathing heavily.

* ''Manga/MyMonsterSecret'': Akane tries to make a use of this trope when Youko and Asahi are locked in the former's room by sending a sleepy Youko onto Asahi with a spring, or literally tilting the entire house so that they fall on each other. All her efforts are in vain.

* ''Film/{{Swashbuckler}}'': When the pirates storm the fortress to free the prisoners, Lynch has to climb to rescue Jane from a cage that is hanging suspended from the ceiling. During the fight, the cage is set swinging, and when they jump out, Jane lands on top of Lynch who lying on his back. This is the moment when the {{UST}} between finally breaks, and they kiss. Nick finally has to interrupt them and tell they still have work to do.

* In ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'', Emi's route has this ''three times.'' First, Emi crashes into Hisao while running in the hallways - their first meeting. Second, Hisao and Emi have a pillow fight which ends with him on top of her [[NotWhatItLooksLike in bed,]] and his inner monologue comes to realize he has feelings for her. Finally, after they've started dating, the same thing happens again, but with Emi straddling Hisao, which [[IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn escalates]] into a relationship-solidifying h-scene.

Also a SubTrope of RuleOfRomantic. Compare to FailuresOnIce.

In some cases, they will [[InstantSeiza separate and apologize]], or Alice will [[NotWhatItLooksLike scream and slap Bob]], [[AccidentalPervert calling him a pervert]]. But if this trope is in action, neither will happen. By the magic (and surprise) of their sudden proximity, they will fall silent. They'll [[HeldGaze look intensely into each other's eyes]], forgetting their fight entirely. Everything around them will fade, and their lips will slowly get closer, before locking into a TrueLovesKiss. If there is no immediate kiss, it will at least be a NearKiss, and probably an AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther moment.

* This happens to Erza and Jellal in ''Manga/FairyTail''. Although it's unclear [[KissingDiscretionShot whether they actually kissed or not]], it's the first time they express their mutual love so clearly.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': The girls set up their father with their preschool teacher Miss Keane. The two have no chemistry and only go along with it to avoid disappointing the girls. Until the end of the date when Miss Keane trips and Prof Utonium catches her, leading to a HeldGaze that kicks off a SickeningSweethearts relationship.
