* A big part of ''Series/MrAndMrsSmith2024'''s premise. The titular pair are brought together by a spy agency to take on new identities and be in a fake marriage as part of their main cover story, although John is more interested in it becoming a real relationship from the start. Discussed a few different times because neither of them can figure out why the agency put them together or why they created multiple Smith pairs.
-->'''John:''' Do you think the company wants us to...?
-->'''Jane:''' To have sex?
-->'''John:''' No. Well, yeah, part of it. To get together.

* Basically the premise of Astarion's romance in ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII''. He is the only companion who is flirtatious with the player from day one, and if the player goes along with it, they will end up sleeping with him at least once (unless playing as [[CantHaveSexEver Karlach]]) and are ostensibly in a casual romantic/sexual relationship from then on. By act II, however, he will reveal that his seduction was [[spoiler: less out of genuine interest and more an attempt to guarantee his protection if his [[IHateYouVampireDad vampiric Master]] ever came looking for him. He openly admits to this and apologizes, having begun to feel guilty for his deception because he actually started falling in love earnestly.]]

* ''Manga/TheSummerYouWereThere'' starts when Kaori finds a manuscript of a novel by her classmate Shizuku, only to learn that Shizuku has no plans to write another novel, [[DrivenToSuicide since she is planning on killing herself]]. Kaori, aware of what Shizuku has in mind, proposes starting a fake relationship so she can write a love story based on the two of them, although she appears to have had feelings for Shizuku all along. Shizuku reluctantly goes along with it at first, but gradually realizes she has genuine feelings for Kaori. [[spoiler:Just before Kaori passes away of her illness, Shizuku sends the final line of her novel, in which Shizuku's character tells Kaori's character, "I love you," and Kaori texts back, "Me too."]]
