History SheIsNotMyGirlfriend / FanWorks

* Happens with Ruby and Sapphire in the ''Manga/PokemonSpecial'' HighSchoolAU ''Fanfic/AMiscellaneousTaleOfNightAndDay'':

* In ''Manga/PokemonSpecial'' fanfic series ''Fanfic/TheForeverTrilogy'', this occurs nearly every chapter with Goldy and Sapph.

** By ''Ghosts of the Past'', this has developed into a grudging acknowledgement that they are attracted to each other, with a tacit admittance that they love each other (platonically), but they're still JustFriends, FlirtingUnderFire be damned.

* What Daichi says about Haruhi in the ''Manga/RosarioToVampire''/''Manga/KamenRiderSpirits'' crossover ''FanFic/ShowaAndVampire''. Justified due to his girl problems.

* The ''Film/StarTrek'' fanfic ''Fanfic/WrittenInTheStars'' revolves around this trope for the first part of the story. Fem!Kirk discovers from Spock Prime that he and her own Prime counterpart were married... and then the spirit of that counterpart gets stuck inside her head, and makes hints about the alternate pair's relationship whenever she gets the chance.

* Played as straight as possible in the third chapter of the LightNovel/FullMetalPanic [[AlternateUniverse AU]] fic ''FanFic/BrothersInArms'', when Tessa very vocally denies that she has feelings for Garon. That stance lasts about two minutes.

* In ''[[FanFic/AGunToLovesHead A Gun to Love's Head]]'' despite the fact that Light and L insist that they aren't lovers Mello refuses to believe them [[spoiler: until it becomes true]].

* ''Manga/{{Evangelion 303}}'': In chapter 5 Asuka spent a looong time berating Shinji, complaining about that idiot not calling her, not noticing that she was worried about him and making excuses for staying in his house and sleeping in his bed. [[http://eva303.smackjeeves.com/comics/1046811/029/ Jessika asked her if “idiot” was German for “boyfriend”]]. Asuka’s answer was as angry as predictable:

* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' fanfic ''FanFic/{{Pretender}}'', Frederick has this reaction when Chrom tells him that he [[SlashFic and Robin]] could adopt after Frederick complains that his mother [[IWantGrandkids pesters him for grandchildren.]] However, this is because Frederick wants neither to force Robin into a relationship nor [[IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship to break off their friendship.]]

* Averted in ''Fanfic/BravelyTangledUpWithDragons''--Flynn asks Hiccup where his girlfriend went, referring to Merida, but Hiccup narrowly avoids saying this as Flynn took a tree branch to the face, swung by none other than Merida.

* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' fanfic ''FanFic/{{Pretender}}'', Frederick has this reaction when Chrom tells him that he [[SlashFic and Robin]] could adopt after Frederick complains that his mother [[IWantGrandkids pesters him for grandchildren.]] Although this is because Frederick does not desire to force Robin into a relationship nor [[IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship break off their friendship.]]

* Used (sometimes word for word) by Franchise/{{Naruto}} whenever Jiraiya teases him about his relationship with Hinata in the fanfic ''FanFic/{{Team 8}}''.

* The ''Film/StarTrek'' fanfic ''Fanfic/WrittenInTheStars'' revolves around this trope for the first part of the story.

* In ''FanFic/ChildOfTheStorm,'' [[ObliviousToLove Harry]] and Carol insist, repeatedly, that they are ''not'' attracted to each other, it's merely a mutual case of StupidSexyFriend, they are [[JustFriends nothing more than close friends]], and that their SleepCute was totally platonic. They are utterly baffled about why/irritated by the fact that [[EveryoneCanSeeIt everyone thinks that they have]] [[UnresolvedSexualTension UST going on]]. Which they do. Lots of it. Admittedly, Harry has considered the idea once or twice, and Carol's eyed him up a couple of times, but [[UnwantedHarem given how many boys drool over Carol,]] he understandably [[IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship doesn't want to push things.]] Plus, they're both young teenagers and not in a rush.

* Laura and Yussef through much of the ''LyricalNanoha'' [[AlternateUniverse AU]] ''[[FanFic/DevaSeries Academy Blues]]''.

** By ''Ghosts of the Past'', this has developed into a grudging acknowledgement that they are attracted to each other, with a tacit admittance that they love each other (platonically), but they're still JustFriends.

They are utterly baffled as to why [[EveryoneCanSeeIt everyone thinks that they have]] [[UnresolvedSexualTension UST going on]]. Admittedly, Harry has considered the idea once or twice, but given how many boys drool over Carol, he understandably [[IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship doesn't want to push things.]] Plus, they're both young teenagers and not in a rush.

* In ''FanFic/ChildOfTheStorm,'' [[ObliviousToLove Harry]] and {{Tsundere Carol}} insist, repeatedly, that they are ''not'' attracted to each other, it's merely a mutual case of StupidSexyFriend, they are [[JustFriends nothing more than close friends]], and that their SleepCute was totally platonic. They are utterly baffled as to why [[EveryoneCanSeeIt everyone thinks that they have]] [[UnresolvedSexualTension UST going on]]. Admittedly, Harry has considered the idea once or twice, but given how many boys drool over Carol, he understandably [[IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship doesn't want to push things.]] Plus, they're both young teenagers and not in a rush.

* ''Manga/{{Evangelion 303}}'': In chapter 5 Asuka spent a looong time berating Shinji, complaining about that idiot not calling her, not noticing that she was worried about him and making excuses for staying in his house and sleeping in his home. [[http://eva303.smackjeeves.com/comics/1046811/029/ Jessika asked her if “idiot” was German for “boyfriend”]]. Asuka’s answer was as angry as predictable:

-->Sonic: WHAT?! Amy's... NOT... MY FLOOZY!!!

-->'''Grimmjow:''' You're in a mood to fight. Was she your woman, or something?

* ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'': At the beginning of the story Asuka denied Shinji was her boyfriend and vice versa. One of the reasons is they did not know where they stood with each other and the only thing they were certain about is they did not want to remain apart. Other of the reasons is they were in denial. Later they got together--after a fashion--but Asuka was unsure about her own feelings for a while, so she denied it until her doubts disappeared.
** In chapter 30:
--->'''Ching''': No, I didn't peek in the window and see you making out with your boyfriend\\
'''Asuka''': He is not my boyfriend! I mean… we haven't talked about it… I don't know
* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'': Asuka constantly denied that Shinji was her boyfriend before getting together. Ironically, she hates having to put up this act all the time in order to keep her relationship secret after she and Shinji became a couple.

** Asuka several times insisted there was nothing between her and Shinji, he was just a friend and she was not his girlfriend and will definitely not be his wife. Nobody was convinced.
** In chapter 4:

''Asuka turns a vivid shade of red while Shinji tries to hide himself under the table.''\\
'''Asuka''': Kaji-san, please understand that there's nothing between me and stupid Shinji, okay?\\
''Everyone is grinning and staring at them, not really convinced by Asuka's words.''
* ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfAnElderGod'': In chapter 6 Asuka claimed she wrapped her arm around Shinji's earlier because she was trying to make Kaji jealous and she did not like her fellow pilot. Of course, everyone disregarded her claims.
* ''Manga/{{Evangelion 303}}'': In chapter 5 Asuka spent a looong time berating Shinji, complaining about that idiot not calling her, not noticing that she was worried about him and making excuses for staying in his house and sleeping in his home. [[http://eva303.smackjeeves.com/comics/1046811/029/ Jessika asked her if “idiot” was German for “boyfriend”]]. Asuka’s answer was as angry as predictable:
-->'''Asuka''': WOULD YOU SHUT UP?
* ''Fanfic/OnceMoreWithFeeling'': A girl asks Asuka if Shinji is her boyfriend. When Asuka claimed they were JustFriends, the girl suggested maybe she would get him all for herself, then. Asuka chewed her head off.

* In ''Fanfic/{{Reconciliation}}'', a ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'' fanfic that takes place after Hanako's bad ending, Hanako says this about Sho, her publicist and the closest thing she has to a friend as of the start of the fic. [[spoiler:They eventually become a couple]].
* In ''FanFic/PointOfSuccession'' Light gets annoyed when L proclaims him to be "my boyfriend" [[spoiler: [[FriendsWithBenefits after they slept together once.]]]]
* In the ''VisualNovel/MuvLuvAlternative''[=/=]''VideoGame/ArmoredCore'' crossover ''FanFic/ProjectIgnition'', this is common enough with Adler and Selene, seeing everyone sees them as a couple. However, pressing the issue is dangerous as it appears to be one of [[AntiHero Adler's]] {{Berserk Button}}s. Sort of, because usually pressing his BerserkButton actually causes violence--in this case, it's just yelling.
* In ''[[FanFic/AGunToLovesHead A Gun to Love's Head]]'' despite the fact that Light and L insist that they aren't lovers Mello refuses to believe them [[spoiler: until it becomes true]].
* A RunningGag in ''Fanfic/IWontSay'':

'''L:''' My co-worker!
