History Main / UmbrellaOfTogetherness

* A scene in ''VideoGame/Persona4: [[UpdatedRerelease Golden]]'' has [[HoYay/Persona4 the MC and Yosuke]] sharing an UmbrellaOfTogetherness (after Yosuke [[SmittenTeenageGirl "forces himself"]] under the MC's umbrella). The trope already has explicit romantic connotations, but this is also the very same scene where Kanji gets very flustered over the idea of doing the same thing with [[spoiler: Naoto]], his long-time crush, and says that they [[https://kawaiiboushi.tumblr.com/post/65160560436/hmm "would be just like a couple"]] if they did so... Yosuke also gets [[CrazyJealousGuy rather defensive]] when Kanji [[https://youtu.be/NMk5Uap42UI?t=25 asks]] if he can [[TakeAThirdOption just share the MC's umbrella with him as well]].

* ''Animation/FlowerFairy'': It is shown in Season 1 episode 20 that the [[HowDadMetMom first interaction An'an's mother and father ever had with each other]] was in the park during a rainy day. Her mother Lily happens to be out in the rain while her father Xiamu is looking for plant seeds; he sees Lily, who happily obliges to come with him under his umbrella.

* A scene in ''VideoGame/Persona4: [[UpdatedRerelease Golden]]'' has [[HoYay/Persona4 the MC and Yosuke]] sharing an UmbrellaOfTogetherness (after Yosuke "forces himself" under Yu's umbrella). The trope already has explicit romantic connotations, but this is also the very same scene where Kanji gets very flustered over the idea of doing the same thing with [[spoiler: Naoto]], his long-time crush, and says that they [[https://kawaiiboushi.tumblr.com/post/65160560436/hmm "would be just like a couple"]] if they did so...

%% * ''VideoGame/Persona4: [[UpdatedRerelease Golden]]'' has Kanji getting flustered over the idea of doing this with [[spoiler:Naoto]]. Just to their right, Yu and Yosuke don't seem to have a problem with it.

* In ''VideoGame/SonicFrontiers'', one of Sonic's idle lines on Kronos Island [[DiscussedTrope mentions]] this trope (namely, expressing that he wished it was happening), but the trope itself doesn't actually appear in game. Given that it's Amy he mentions, this also serves as yet another Sonic/Amy ShipTease.
--> '''Sonic:''' Wish we were sharing an umbrella, Amy...

* In ''VideoGame/SonicFrontiers'', one of Sonic's idle lines on Kronos Island [[DiscussedTrope mentions]] this trope (namely, expressing that he wished it was happening), [[AvertedTrope but the trope itself doesn't actually appear in game.]]

** '''Sonic:''' [[ShipTease Wish we were sharing an umbrella, Amy...]]

* ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' featured one of Isaac's precognitive paintings (used above) featuring Simone and Peter apparently embracing under an umbrella, which Isaac took to be a sign of their relationship. [[spoiler:He's right.]]
* ''Series/TheXFiles'' frequently made use of this trope. Comically so, on occasion--Mulder (David Duchovny) has quite a bit of height on Scully (Gillian Anderson), usually causing [[http://33.media.tumblr.com/21d0f38859a25901f7c17511d1dd877a/tumblr_nhkydi6zw41u78pf4o2_r1_250.gif this sort of scene.]] Definite ShipTease.

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. In a platonic love version, Giles walks Willow to the taxi (so she can catch the plane back to the US) under his umbrella.

* In ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', The Mother's yellow umbrella is an arc symbol signifying the love of Ted's life. The Narrator -- older Ted -- made it clear that it had played a major role in their first encounter ("you know the short version [of how I met your mother], the one with the yellow umbrella"), and even before because the umbrella had got lost. [[spoiler:Ted meets Tracy the Mother at the train station when it's raining. He comes to talk to her and she encourages him to cover under her umbrella with her. It's an example of MeetCute when they playfully argue over whose umbrella it really is.]]
* In the 2009 BBC miniseries ''Film/{{Emma}}'', Mr Weston shares his umbrella with Miss Taylor (future Mrs Weston) when it starts raining after the Sunday mass. In the novel, he met Emma and Miss Taylor when they were walking and he gallantly borrowed two umbrellas for them from Farmer Mitchell's because it was drizzling.
* ''Series/PersonOfInterest''. In "Provenance", our heroes have to go to a black-tie event. John Reese having rejected [[CrazyPrepared any umbrella that doesn't double as a weapon]], Harold Finch holds his own umbrella over him while walking from their taxi in the rain. It happens again while they're visiting the cinema in "Proteus". [[HomoeroticSubtext It's like the producers are trying to tell us something.]]
* Used as a nice metaphor in the K-drama ''Series/TheEntertainer''. When the main character, Suk-Ho, briefly sees a therapist to work through guilt issues, he's asked by the therapist to draw himself. He sketches a dark, monochrome drawing of himself standing stoically in the pouring rain. The female lead later finds the drawing crumpled up in a drawer and, moved to offer Suk-Ho emotional protection, draws in a gaily colored bright green umbrella. Suk-Ho in turn finds the drawing some time afterward and is heartened by Geu-Rin's gesture of support. Eventually the trope becomes literal when Geu-Rin gives Suk-Ho an actual green umbrella, which he cherishes. When they finally start to come together as a couple, there's a moment when Gue-Rin is about to step out into a downpour--only for Suk-Ho to appear, the green umbrella shielding them both from the rain.
* A recurring flashback/dream of David Banner's in ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977'' is of himself catching up to [[TheLostLenore his late wife, Laura]], in the rain and squeezing under her umbrella with her while they both laugh.

* In the ninth episode of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'', "The School of Hard Knocks", in the corner of Kaito's picture of Giselle, their names are written under the umbrella in kanji. 4Kids edited out the easter egg, obviously, because anything remotely Japanese or romantic is evil.

* In the AnimatedAdaptation of ''Literature/GrandmasterOfDemonicCultivation'', Lan Wangji shields Wei Wuxian with an umbrella while it rains in Empathy, and Wei Wuxian makes sure the umbrella evenly covers both men by adjusting the cane. As this scene follows Xue Yang's mockery of Xiao Xingchen's heroic acts hurting others and Wei Wuxian's pained reaction to it, the umbrella can be seen as symbolic for Lan Wangji being willing to support him throughout his hardships and Wei Wuxian having an equal desire to protect him.

* ''[[InvokedTrope Invoked]]'' in ''LightNovel/{{Campione}}'', when Erica snaps her umbrella in half while it was raining so that she has a chance to share an umbrella with her special someone.

* Non-romantic (or [[ShipTease is it]]?) example: ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'' has a flashback with {{Berserker}} Shizuo Heiwajima standing in the rain by the jail after being set up for a crime, feeling and looking completely alone. Off-screen, we hear a voice calling his name. It's a very close friend he lost contact with, who then holds his umbrella up over Shizuo's head as they walk off together. This is the anime version of Tom Tanaka's defining character moment, as he's been there for Shizuo ever since.

* In ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'', Haruhi walks Kyon home with the [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vlcsnap-282742.png school umbrella]]. [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend They insist a little too much that they aren't a couple]].

* Kyouka from ''LightNovel/KyouranKazokuNikki'' is probably one of the few people to pull off the Umbrella of Togetherness ''indoors''. That's how much she wants to share a romantic moment.

* ''LightNovel/MariaWatchesOverUs'' has the episode "Holding a Parasol". It ends with a picture of Yumi and Sachiko sharing an umbrella under the sun.

%% * ''LightNovel/StrawberryPanic'' takes this trope to an absurd level--like most anything related to romance.
