History Heartwarming / BetrayMeNot

** The way Mika greets Brandon as he begins to come around. Seeing Brandon raising his arm as if he's shaking hands with somebody, Mika grabs his hand. As revealed in ''Betray Me Not'', Brandon is actually having a dream about the first time he meets Harry in the orphanage. [[FridgeBrilliance He is shaking his hands with Harry.]]

* The ending of ''Wintertime Business''. [[spoiler:Brandon receives money from Vash, who asks him to repair his ArtificialLimb with it. It brightens Brandon's day and makes him want to see Vash again to thank him.]]

[[AC:Worth]]
* The interactions between William and Brandon are heartwarming. Instead of granting Brandon's death wish, William tries to convince him that him being bothersome isn't his fault. After all, Brandon is just unhealthy.

* Putting aside the problems with the ArtificialLimb and Millennion guards, the walk in the lobby is a very relaxing scene. Then, there's a brief funny moment about the bench that Brandon bends due to his inability to sit down properly with his defective prosthesis.
* A little tearjerking, but Biscoe being aghast of the fact that Brandon begs William to kill him is actually very nice of Biscoe. Then, him telling that Brandon is unhealthy and he can tolerate the trouble Brandon may cause because of that is just sweet. He doesn't want Brandon to have suicidal thoughts anymore.
** This brings up a FridgeBrilliance. William says that Mika won't be angry at Brandon for waking her up abruptly at night. Why can he say that? Because Brandon is unhealthy, while Mika loves him very much. Mika will definitely tolerate the troubles he causes. Then, Biscoe also uses the same reason to tell Brandon that he is never a troublemaker. Biscoe cares for him as much as Mika, although [[GoodIsNotNice he can be very strict to him]].
* Finally, Biscoe tells Brandon to live long enough to recover and promises to find a job for him afterwards. This old mob boss really does care.
** Him thanking William for not killing Brandon just shows how much he cares for Brandon.
* The ending. The chatter is heartwarming to the point of tearjerking, because although Brandon thinks he is just a troublemaker (he does learn his worth in Millennion later), he is actually regarded as a great man by others. Everybody in Millennion may have much more power than Brandon, such as Biscoe having the authority as a boss, his executives (e.g. Norton) having high intelligence, and his guards having all their limbs still attached to their bodies, but none of them could measure up to someone who is willing to push himself beyond limit just to protect others.
--> '''Millennion Guardsman''': Um, Boss, don't you think we should be more respectful to him? He is still willing to protect others despite his disability. I think this is the first time I ever see someone that heroic in my life.
--> '''Biscoe''': Yes. *beat* You know, kid. Maybe he doesn't have as much authority as I do. He probably isn't as intelligent as my executives either. Moreover, he isn't as healthy as Millennion guardsmen. But despite that, we all are no match for the selfless, courageous Brandon Heat.
** The guardsman's awareness is actually a touching one. When Brandon asks William to kill him, for whose sake Brandon wants to die for? For Millennion. This includes all Millennion guards. Now, those nasty guardsmen are ''[[UngratefulBastard bastards]]''.
* A small one, but actually, Millennion guards are really protective of their boss. They immediately surround Brian and threaten him after he fires his gun at Biscoe.

[[AC:Others]]
* The way Brandon comforts Mika in ''Phantom Limb''. He lulls her to sleep by stroking her back.
** And Mika is sleeping on Brandon's lap with her head pillowed against his chest. Aww...
** Overlaps with CrowningMomentOfAwesome. ''Phantom Limb'' is actually how Brandon's PapaWolf attitude towards Mika helps him deal with his phantom sensation after losing his arm.

** The ending has Brandon finally realizing that he doesn't need to labor during holiday just to be a good 'daddy.'

** The ending gives a cyclical feel, but it symbolizes how simple and fun Mika's life is with Brandon.

* The sequel one-shot ''Worth'' has a number of HeartwarmingMoments as well.
** The interactions between William and Brandon are heartwarming. Instead of granting Brandon's death wish, William tries to convince him that him being bothersome isn't his fault. After all, Brandon is just unhealthy.
*** William being Brandon's defender is very heartwarming too. It really makes their relationship almost platonic.

* The relationship between Brandon and Harry. It's very subtle. [[spoiler:Although Harry is already dead, Brandon ''still'' finds trouble betraying him for Mika and Millennion, and Brandon breaks down as he admits the fact that he has betrayed his best friend for his family.]]
** Doubles by the fact that Brandon himself is dead and living as a zombie, while Harry is truly dead. Death barely affects the friendship between Brandon and Harry.

** Finally, Biscoe tells Brandon to live long enough to recover and promising to find a job for him afterwards. This old mob boss really does care.

---> '''Millennion Guardsman''': Sometimes we're really horrible to him, aren't we? He is still willing to protect others despite being handicapped. I don't think I have ever seen anybody like that in my life.
---> '''Biscoe''': Yes. *beat* You know, kid. Maybe he doesn't earn as much respect as I do, and he may not be as intelligent as my executives. He isn't as healthy as Millennion guardsmen either. But no matter what, we are no match for the selfless, courageous Brandon Heat.

But in the end, we are no Brandon Heat. Miss Mika must be proud to have a selfless, courageous guardian like him.

* The way Brandon comforts Mika in ''Phantom Limb''. He lulls her to sleep by stroking her backside.

* The ending. [[spoiler:Biscoe and Norton finally apologize to Brandon and let him rest until he fully recovers as a compensation, Mika and Brandon are now living as a [[FamilyOfChoice family]], but to a more emotional point, Brandon is always Harry's [[TrueCompanions best friend]]. This finally enables him to smile a genuine smile.]]

** [[spoiler:The moment Biscoe apologizes to Brandon is both tearjerking and heartwarming, considering that Biscoe himself is also tearing up as he speaks.]]

** The way Mika gives Brandon YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speech.
---> '''Mika''': *wiping Brandon's tears with her hand* "If you're bad, I won't see you this sad, because you never realize that betrayal is bad."

---> '''Biscoe''': "I'm not lying. Do yourself a favor by believing in me, yes?"

** Biscoe finally warming up to Brandon, as shown by how he speaks to Brandon when telling him about his task.
*** "I'm not lying. Do yourself a favor by believing in me, yes?" Biscoe is aware of Brandon's self-loathing nature and guilt.

** Overlaps with CrowningMomentOfAwesome. ''Phantom Limb'' is actually how Brandon's PapaWolf attitude towards Mika helps him deal with his phantom sensation after losing his arm.

** [[spoiler:The way Mika talks to Brandon in the end. At first, she almost says that Harry isn't Brandon's best friend if he's upset just because Brandon betrays him for his (Brandon) family. But she manages to find the right wording to comfort Brandon: Brandon is truly Harry's best friend, because he is still incredibly loyal to Harry although he's already dead. This makes Brandon smile a genuine smile.]]

* "I have a family to protect." Very touching, as it shows that Brandon's UndyingLoyalty is to both Harry and Mika (and Millennion).

* "I have a family to protect." Very touching.

* Biscoe telling Mika that he has made the right choice: bending Big Daddy's Code of Iron. He knows that it isn't right, but things go visibly better that way, and he has noticed it: Brandon is highly capable of nurturing Mika, as shown by Mika suddenly being respectful of Biscoe. Emphasized when he explicitly says that he won't dare to imagine the consequences of strictly adhering to Big Daddy's Code of Iron: Mika will be lost and lonely.

* When Brandon wakes up, he immediately notices Mika's disappearance. He asks Biscoe where is she, which moves Biscoe to the point he starts sympathizing with Brandon (and Norton is later moved by this as well). Biscoe and Norton are supposed to pay more attention to Mika, but they have forgotten her due to them focusing on Brandon's crime.
