After managing to figure out that Adrien is Chat Noir, she decides to get some revenge on him for enabling Lila Rossi's ConsummateLiar attitude.

Yang is terrified that she is stealing her sister Ruby's friend and possible love interest (and this has happened before, so it's not an unreasonable fear), and keeps trying to think of ways to let Jaune down gently. Ruby, on the other hand, realizes that this is the first time Yang has been genuinely interested in a boy (all of Yang's previous "dates" were just friends who suddenly tried to get under Yang's shirt), and tries to encourage Jaune to go after Yang.

Jaune and Yang officially start dating at the dance, when Yang thought he was going with Ruby but he actually went alone because he knew Yang was busy.

Asuka, you helped free me from the drugs that clouded my mind when you had no reason to do anything but dislike me. And you both came for me and saved me in this battle. I... I look at you and I know I love you both."''\\
''"Rei, we..." Shinji trailed off. What could he say? He looked over at Asuka. She shrugged too, at an equal loss.''\\
''Rei waved her hands defensively at their shocked expressions. "No! I do not want to intrude! I... I will never try to... intersplice myself in your bond! It is too beautiful to disrupt! But... I wanted you both to know. I understand what this feeling is now. It is love. I will protect that feeling, and you. I will not allow any harm to come to you or your bond if I can ever do anything about it."''

Even after Kaworu had revealed his true self, when Asuka asked him if he was not going to try and convince her to not be tempted, Shinji still told her: "Decide what you want." [[spoiler:Subverted when he said he was not afraid to lose Asuka because she was [[HeroesWantRedheads his]]]].
* In ''Fanfic/TSATheAmazingSpiderMan'' After Gwen and Peter break up due to Peter keeping secrets from her, she starts dating [[spoiler: Johnny Storm of the Fantastic Four]]. which Peter accepts despite wanting to be with her, because Gwen is with a guy she likes, who can be honest with her.

When asked why he did this by Lily, James explains that her happiness is more important to him than his feud with Snape; as much as he hates Snape and would prefer it if Lily stopped being friends with him, he can tell that Lily is miserable and wants her to be happy again, even if that means helping her to make up with Snape.

Her reasons being that for all the times she says she "loves" Sasuke, he ended up committing treason and abandoned her while [[HopelessSuitor Naruto]] was always there for her due to his crush and it would be unfair to Naruto for him to do so much for her while all he gets is UnrequitedLove in return.
