History Main / IndirectKiss

* ''Black Widow''. The federal agent and the female serial killer she's investigating first meet during a scuba-diving course where they practice mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. This is the first sign of the FoeYay / LesYay subtext between them.

* In ''[[MahouSenseiNegima Negima!?]]'' Setsuna [[SchoolgirlLesbians starts fantasizing]] when it's pointed out that making a pactio with Negi would count as an IndirectKiss with Konoka.

* Pops up in ''Anime/{{K}}'' during a {{Flashback}}. When Yata Misaki loses at a video game he grabs Fushimi Saruhiko's drink and chugs almost all of it, then throws the bottle away. Suoh Mikoto catches it and drinks the rest. So Misaki shared an IndirectKiss with Saruhiko and Mikoto with them both.

* Another excellent example is in ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' (pictured above) between Revy and Rock -- the "cigarette kiss", in which Revy chains her cigarette from Rock's after a fight between them. Hence, (indirect) kiss and (silent) make up.
** It's also SlapSlapKiss, with Revy doing the slapping. And by slapping, we mean "almost blowing Rock's head off."

* Some illustrations from ''Literature/ParadiseLost'' show the Serpent feeding Eve the Fruit of Knowledge with his mouth.

* When [[Manga/JunjouRomantica Usagi-san calls Misaki]] out on his inability to express his affections for Usagi, Misaki tries this- by kissing his own hand, then slapping it over Usagi's mouth, exclaiming [[{{CrowningMomentOfFunny}} "How's that for erotic?!" ]]

* In the ''LoveHina'' manga, Keitaro contemplates an indirect kiss when Narusegawa offers him her drink to wash down some pre-exam antacids.

* When [[JunjouRomantica Usagi-san calls Misaki]] out on his inability to express his affections for Usagi, Misaki tries this- by kissing his own hand, then slapping it over Usagi's mouth, exclaiming [[{{CrowningMomentOfFunny}} "How's that for erotic?!" ]]
* In ''{{Shugo Chara}}'' the {{Cat boy}} Ikuto starts eating the other side of Amu's ice cream cone (Much to her dismay).

* A creepy version exists in ''FlameOfRecca''. While eating and licking ice cream, Fuuko encountered Soukakusai and he proceeded to snatch the ice cream, lick it and consider it an indirect kiss. Note that Soukakusai is a creepy guy who hunts after women, especially those who refused him. Fuuko was horrified even before knowing that fact.

* In a cutscene in ''{{Disgaea}} II'', the party is surrounded by monsters and attempt to use a magic flute to distract them. Adell tries playing it first, but is proven to have no musical talent whatsoever, so Rozalin takes the flute from him and puts it to her lips -- at which point she realizes the significance of this act. She then [[{{Tsundere}} forcefully discards the flute into her servant's forehead]]. Axel later finds the flute and plays it, but this trope isn't mentioned.

* ''Manga/ToAruKagakuNoRailgun'': [[SchoolgirlLesbians Kuroko]] becomes elated at the prospect of getting a bite of something after Mikoto and later freaks out when Mikoto and Saten innocently spoonfeed each other samples of their ice-cream. Kuroko desperately asks for equal treatment, but Mikoto refuses since Kuroko got the same kind as her.
** Implied but not really dwelled upon in the related ''Anime/ToAruMajutsuNoIndex'', when Mikoto drags Touma into pretending to be her boyfriend. They both get hot dogs, and are distracted after each has taken a bite. When they turn back to their lunch, they don't know which belongs to whom. Touma doesn't care, since they both got the exact same thing, but Mikoto quietly obsesses over the idea. Attentive viewers note that each did in fact end up with the other person's hot dog.

* In ''KamenRiderDouble'', when Akiko is about to reach OfficialCouple status with Ryuu, the IndirectKiss makes her very excited at drinking from a coffee cup that she believes he has just used.

* Usui in ''KaichouWaMaidSama'' teases Misaki by telling her they've had an indirect kiss after sharing an apple slice with her. In another instance, although the trope isn't specifically mentioned, it is clearly in mind when Usui puts his lollipop into Misaki's mouth before hugging her.

* Happens to [[DannyPhantom Vlad]] in ' ''Maternal Instincts'' '. It's one of the reasons why he wants to kill Jack.

Issues of physical contact taken to a logical extreme. The surprise is when someone is offered food or drink by someone they like, then realizes that swapping spit residue is apparently somewhat similar to a kiss, indirectly.

Bizarrely enough, a form of this notion, the sharing of a drinking glass with a lover as an intimate act, appears in a treatise on romance by the Roman poet Creator/{{Ovid}}, making this OlderThanFeudalism.

* In ''[[Manga/AhMyGoddess Ah! My Goddess]]'', while [[AboveTheInfluence under the influence of a drug that makes her a bit more]] "aggressive", Belldandy purposefully sets up Keiichi on the verge of having an indirect kiss with her after she asks him to have a taste of his canned drink. [[MomentKiller Too bad that it spilled over.]]

* Done in "The Melancholy of Asahina Mikuru" story of the 6th ''SuzumiyaHaruhi'' light novel. Mikuru [[ShutUpKiss silences]] Kyon's flustered, mumbled attempts to comfort her by placing her index finger on his lips. She then slowly lifted her index finger and placed it on her own lips. While neither of them outright acknowledge it as an indirect kiss, Kyon's elated reaction and his following thoughts are very much in line with the trope.
** While shooting their film in "The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya", Mikuru offers Kyon water from the bottle she's been drinking from. Haruhi immediately grabs it from him.
*** Later at the end of the arc, Haruhi drinks from the same cup as Kyon in a cafe, though it's mostly just to spite him. We never really see if Haruhi had this trope in mind or not.

* ''Black Widow''. The federal agent and the female serial killer she's investigating first meet during a scuba-diving course where they practice mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

* In ''{{Eiken}}'', when the club goes to the gym, Teacher offers Densuke her drink and he realizes it is an indirect kiss and gives it back. When Teacher drinks it she also realizes it is an indirect kiss.

* ''RurouniKenshin'' has an example that foreshadows Kenshin & Kaoru's future relationship: they both drink from the same sake cup, after which Megumi slyly remarks, "It's as though they're a married couple", eliciting embarrassment from Kaoru & Kenshin's trademark flustered "Oro?".

* Near the end of the film of Literature/{{Trainspotting}}, Begbie orders Renton to give him a cigarette, and just stands there waiting with his mouth open until Renton puts it in his own mouth to light it, and then puts it in Begbie's. While this could just be a display of dominance and control (which is well within Begbie's character,) WordOfGod is that they imagined Begbie as an ArmoredClosetGay, so this trope was certainly intended.

* Another excellent example of the indirect kiss is in ''BlackLagoon'' (pictured above) between Revy and Rock -- the "cigarette kiss", in which Revy chains her cigarette from Rock's, after a fight between them, hence, (indirect) kiss and (silently) make up.
** It's also a SlapSlapKiss, with Revy doing the slapping. And by slapping, we mean "almost blowing Rock's head off."
** And also punching him in the face soon after that, hence the bruise under his left eye.

* In ''{{FLCL}}'', Kitsurubami unintentionally does this with a drink she was holding for Amarao. She's horrified after she realizes what she's done.

* Tamaki from ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' freaks out when he thinks Haruhi and Hikaru might have one of these by sharing an ice cream cone.

* Lampshaded in 'Manga/'{{Saiyuki}}'' by Gojyo after a Bohidsatva takes blood from him via a kiss and delivers said blood to Sanzo with the same technique.

* Lampshaded in ''{{Saiyuki}}'' by Gojyo after a Bohidsatva takes blood from him via a kiss and delivers said blood to Sanzo with the same technique.

* Invoked and averted in ''[[AsianSaga Noble House]]'', where Quillan Gornt stubs out a cigarette given to him by his ex-mistress, because he does not want "the taint of her lips". When he said the relationship was over, he ''really'' meant it.

* In a PrincessTutu fic, Fakir after taking a bite from an apple tosses it up to Ahiru who was sitting in a tree. She unwittingly takes the bite from the same place as he did, causing him to observe that they just did this. And coincedently, making Ahiru to fall off the tree.
