* ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}}'', nearly the TropeNamer, has kids of opposite sexes as the main characters all the time. Sometimes it's opposite sex kids who are friends, and sometimes it's [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]]: "Some people think it's weird for a boy and a girl to be friends." Sometimes a kid meets someone of the opposite sex and they get caught up in something big together, and sometimes the kid even dislikes the opposite sex, but they still get caught up in the adventure together. Although in at least one case, it was ''the villain'' impersonating the opposite sex friend, who didn't really exist.

* ''Series/CloakAndDagger'' stars Tandy and Tyrone, who despite being teenagers growing close due to their WonderTwinPowers, never really have much sexual tension, and are romantically involved with other people for essentially the entire series. Their relationship is closest to that of siblings - often at odds with each other - once they start working together. Despite what [[TrailersAlwaysLie the show's marketing]] would have you believe.

* ''Literature/TokyoDemons'' splits its story into the perspectives of the main protagonist Ayase (who is focused on the superpower mystery side) and her schoolmate Jo Oda (who is preoccupied with the organized crime side). While both have their plots intertwined over the trilogy and they ultimately become close friends, both have their own sets of love interests and end the story in a {{Polyamory}} and in a committed relationship respectively. Series author Lianne Sentar explicitly stated that she didn't want her male and female leads to end up together just because they were the most prominent opposite sex pair.

* In the ''Literature/YoungWizards'' series of books, protagonists Nita and Kit are [[HeterosexualLifePartners best friends]] who happen to be of different sexes, and despite being brought together as a team by the Power of Heaven Themselves, face considerable misunderstanding from others, to the point that Nita's parents try to forbid them to see each other due to fear their relationship is sexual.

* The two primary protagonists of ''Film/TheKissingBooth'' and its sequels are high schoolers Lee and Elle, who have been best friends almost since they were born. It's emphasized that their relationship is strictly platonic, though no less meaningful to them. In fact, one of the recurring conflicts throughout the trilogy is their struggle to balance their romantic relationships and their friendship with each other.
