History Main / OnlyFriend

* When Troy and Abed are on the outs in ''Series/{{Community}}''
-->'''Troy''': You may have been my best friend, but we both know I was your first friend and what I know but you don't know because you have mental issues is that you’re never going to have another friend because NOBODY ELSE WILL EVER HAVE MY PATIENCE WITH YOU.

* John Carver from the ''IAmNotASerialKiller'' trilogy is friends with another social outcast Max in order to [[GenreSavvy try and avert]] falling into LonersAreFreaks. Despite his sociopathic nature, John makes other friends in [[MrMonster the]] [[IDontWantToKillYou sequels]] but is so focused on his quest he pretty much still only has one friend at a time, leaving poor Max friendless.

* In Rockstar's "VideoGame/Bully", main character Jimmy Hopkins is shy guy Petey's only friend. Presumably this changes after the end of the game when [[spoiler:Jimmy convinces Dr. Crabblesnitch to make Pete the new head student at Bullworth.]]

* Jerkass Haruhi Suzumiya notes with pride in {{The Vanishing Of Nagato Yuki-chan}} that only Kyon speaks to her informally. In the SuzumiyaHaruhi series proper, Kyon's sister (that's all we know of her name) and Tsuruya are the only persons who are friendly towards Haruhi, without being burdened with Haruhi's secret.

* When Troy and Abed are on the outs in ''{{Community}}''

* ''KingdomHeartsII'' gives us the scene of [[spoiler:Axel's]] death, where he tells Sora that Roxas was the only one he liked, and basically his only friend.

* In ''AzumangaDaioh'', Nyamo is [[{{Jerkass}} Yukari's]] only friend.

----

** [[spoiler: Shizune and Misha are also this to one another unless you take Shizune's route.]]

->''I don't have ''friends''. I've just got one.''
-->--'''SherlockHolmes''' to [[TheWatson John Watson]], ''{{Sherlock}}''

* If Shepard is female and begins a romantic relationship with Garrus in ''MassEffect2'', Garrus tells her she's his only friend in the galaxy. Thane admits to Shepard that s/he's the first friend he's made in twenty years. Liara suggests this when she asks Shepard for patience on Illium, saying she doesn't have enough friends left to lose him/her.

* ''{{House}}'' has only [[HeterosexualLifePartners Wilson]] for a friend.

* In ''MadokaMagica'' [[spoiler:Madoka is Homura's only friend in most timelines. [[LivingEmotionalCrutch It's the main reason Homura keeps going]]]].

* In the first ''HarryPotter'' book, Ron is Harry's only friend. Harry probably isn't Ron's only friend but since it's Harry's story we don't see Ron outside his interactions with Harry. Hermione has no friends and isn't friends with Harry or Ron until toward the end of the book.

* ''[[KingdomHearts Kingdom Hearts II]]'' gives us the scene of [[spoiler:Axel's]] death, where he tells Sora that Roxas was the only one he liked, and basically his only friend.

->''I don't have any friends. Only you.''

* [[TheInspectorLynleyMysteries Thomas Lynley]] and Barbara Havers. He is her only true friend. Funny enough it also works in reverse - while Lynley does have one or two other close friends, he is nearly as difficult to work with as Havers is. They ultimately wind up as TrueCompanions, via [[OddCouple complementing each other surprisingly well]], presumed betrayal, a near drowning, and more tragedy than any two people should ever have to go through.

-->'''[[spoiler:Mycroft]]''': I am the closest thing to a friend that Sherlock Holmes is capable of having.\\

'''[[spoiler:Mycroft]]''': An enemy.

* Jerkass Haruhi Suzumiya notes with pride in {{The Vanishing Of Nagato Yuki-chan}} that only Kyon speaks to her informally. In the SuzumiyaHaruhi series proper, Kyon's sister (that's all we know of her name) is the only person who is friendly towards Haruhi, without being burdened with Haruhi's secret.
