| 14 | '''Spike:''' Oh, come on, we need to talk--\ |

| 18 | Unlike CannotSpitItOut or AbortedDeclarationOfLove, this trope is when a declaration of love is cut off by something outside the character's control. Usually the audience will only hear the "I" while the "love you" is left unsaid. It might even be left unclear as to whether or not the statement even is a declaration of love at all. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | The interruption might come from a MomentKiller. In more serious instances, it might come from the character losing consciousness or [[DyingDeclarationOfLove dy]][[KilledMidSentence ing]]. If two characters have had a lot of [[UnresolvedSexualTension UST]] then this can be a good way for writers to taunt the fans. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | In some cases, the interruptor--especially if it's the target of the declaration--may cut them off with a knowing look or a declaration of their own, making the declaration unnecessary. Such is usually [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments mind-numbingly heartwarming]]. |

| 24 | Subtrope of UnConfession. |

| 27 | !!Examples: |

| 30 | |
| 31 | [[folder:Anime and Manga]] |
| 32 | * This is PlayedForLaughs in ''Manga/AhMyGoddess''. Keiichi works up the nerve to finally confess his love to Belldandy. The moment was right, and the two were alone. Keiichi begins to speak the words... but then Skuld pops out of nowhere, right in front of Keiichi when he says "I love you." Keiichi is embarrassed that he said it to Skuld, and Skuld goes into a HeroicBSOD of sorts due to the shock that Keiichi confessed to her. Certainly it had to have been a mistake! Belldandy, however, knew that his words were directed at her, and was very happy to hear him confess his true feelings for her. |
| 33 | * In ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'', [[spoiler: moments away from them being eaten by the same Titan who killed Eren's mother, Mikasa starts to confess her feelings to Eren and leans in to give him a LastKiss, only for Eren to regain his fighting spirit and interrupt her.]] |
| 34 | * ''Manga/BoysOverFlowers'' had this as a joke in one episode. When Domyouji tries to confess his love to Tsukushi the next day after he's saved her from freezing to death, the noise from a passing snow plow blares over his voice so she can't hear him. Then, when he tries spelling it out for her on a little electronic device instead, she [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny happens to look up and see]] a shooting star that ''[[ContrivedCoincidence just happens]]'' to be zipping by overhead at that moment and misses his message. |
| 35 | * In ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' this seems to be what is happening with between Touya and Yukito with Nakuru constantly butting into the conversation on purpose at the exact point that it seems that confession is about to take place [[ClingyJealousGirl seemingly as she fancies Touya herself]]. It's actually somewhat more complicated [[spoiler:Touya is actually trying to confess that he knows Yukito isn't human... AND that he loves him and wants to sacrifice his own magic powers to save Yukito's/Yue's life, but Nakuru/Ruby Moon wants to steal Touya's power before he can do so.]] |
| 36 | ** Syaoran gets his fair share of them during the second half of the series. He tries in several episodes to tell Sakura that he likes her, only to get cut short by Kero, Yamazaki, and at one point even Sakura herself |
| 37 | * Made into a RunningGag in Manga/CaseClosed with Heiji and Kazuha, lampshaded in chapter 1067. Once, they were even interrupted by a zombie. |
| 38 | * ''Manga/CityHunter''. When Ryo, due Mick's interloping, finally decided to declare his love to Kaori, the declaration was interrupted by Kaori accidentally blowing up the building. |
| 39 | * In ''Manga/FairyTail'', Simon, Erza's childhood friend, is nearly killed while doing his declaration of love to her. They only see each other 8 years later. |
| 40 | * In the Japanese version of ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist2003'', Edward cuts off Rose's confession mid-sentence because she isn't in the right mind at the time. The English dub has her finish the sentence. |
| 41 | * ''Manga/HajimeNoIppo'': At first Ippo just CannotSpitItOut, but during the BeachEpisode, in a hotel room, at last he manages to say to Kumi, "I've always loved you!" Unfortunately he beats around the bush so much that Kumi has fallen asleep by the time he says it and she was a bit drunk too. So the declaration is "interrupted" by her not listening to it. |
| 42 | * ''Anime/IrresponsibleCaptainTylor'': |
| 43 | ** [[TheMole Harumi]] breaks down in tears after Captain Tylor is taken away as a captive by her Raalgon superior, saying that he showed her the [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove meaning of a human heart]], but part of her speech is drowned by the shuttle's engines, so we don't know if she was making a LoveConfession as well. We only see Yuriko's startled expression (she was giving Harumi a CooldownHug at the time, so was close enough to hear what was said). |
| 44 | ** Empress Azalyn falls for Tylor, but her LoveConfession is interrupted by an attempted assassination via bomb. Azalyn accompanies the comatose Tylor aboard his vessel as a prisoner in order to finish telling him, though the usual comic shenanigans continue to get in the way. |
| 45 | * In ''Manga/LoveMeForWhoIAm'', [[spoiler:Tetsu]]'s confession to [[spoiler:Mogumo]] is interrupted by [[spoiler:Mogumo]] confessing to him instead. |
| 46 | * ''Manga/MyMonsterSecret'': |
| 47 | ** A flash-back where the protagonist Asahi was called on and rejected by the Class Rep ''[[EveryoneCanSeeIt before he even confessed]]''. Remembering that, he quickly goes to confess to his new crush Youko... only to find out she's a vampire, and that her secret must not be revealed or she'll have to leave the school. Because of that, he ends up shelving his confession and asking her to become "friends". Asking her out in exchange for keeping her secret would have sounded a bit too much like blackmail after all. |
| 48 | ** In chapter 47, Asahi is really about to confess this time, but Youko panics and cuts him with a BaitAndSwitchSentiment reply, before running away. And that's ''after'' he had to deal with Aizawa's attempts to prevent him from getting to Youko in the first place. |
| 49 | * ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': Ranma Saotome pretty much makes it his mission to interrupt and shoot down all of Ryoga's attempts to confess to Akane. For hilarity, [[GenderBender Ranma]] is usually in drag, acting like a girl, and just being a [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bastard]] in general. |
| 50 | * In ''Literature/ShakuganNoShana'', Shana wins a costume contest and is told to give a speech. She attempts to use this to declare her love for Yuji, but Pheles suddenly attacks the event with a tornado. |
| 51 | * ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'' episode 22 has [[spoiler: Kurisu charging back into the lab to tell Okabe she also loves him, but he's already hit the button to begin another time leap.]] |
| 52 | * In episode 143 of ''Anime/{{Tamagotchi}}'' (the last episode of the original installment, before they started their NewSeasonNewName trend with ''Tamagotchi! Yume Kira Dream''), Mametchi and his Tama-Friends are [[spoiler:watching Kizunatchi fend off the eggification curse on Ha Island]], and Himespetchi, who has a massive crush on Mametchi, sees the opportunity to admit her feelings to him. She stares at him fondly, and then starts to say her piece as everyone is paying attention to her... but then Kuchipatchi cuts in, pointing out that [[spoiler:Kizunatchi has been overwhelmed by her efforts to fight the curse and is falling to the ground, unconscious]]. Nobody asks her what she wanted to say after this scene. |
| 53 | * In ''Manga/ToLoveRu'' it's basically a RunningGag that ''something'' will happen whenever Rito or Haruna want to confess to each other. At least twice Haruna has been dragged off and replaced by someone else while Rito was trying to squeeze the words out. And they have been interrupted a couple more times. [[spoiler:The first time it was Lala, which helped set everything up, although she did later realize he didn't mean her at the time. The second time Haruna was replaced by....most of his class]]. |
| 54 | * A much more tragic one in ''Manga/{{X1999}}''. Maybe. Seishirou's [[spoiler: last words to Subaru are [[UnConfession "I ... you.."]]]] Seishirou being who [[TheSociopath he]] [[ManipulativeBastard is]], it's up in the air as to what he meant to say and if he was being genuine or simply mind gaming Subaru. |
| 55 | * In ''Manga/YonaOfTheDawn'', after [[spoiler: Hak finally confesses his love of over 10 years to Yona, she tries to confess back in chapter 153. However, in an ironic twist, ''Hak'' is the one who interrupts her before she can.]] Even more ironic; he does so to explain that he doesn't expect her to return his affections and for her not to worry about it, and then walks off before she can try to tell him again. |
| 56 | ** Happens once again in chapter 163, in which the two share a cute ShipTease moment and Yona seems extremely intent to tell Hak something, stumbling over her words and [[CrushBlush blushing fiercely]] the whole time... only for them to be interrupted by a call to dinner. |
| 57 | * Amino tries to confess his love to Karada, early in the ''Manga/LivingForTheDayAfterTomorrow'', but is interrupted by Hiro. Their relationship goes downhill from there. |
| 58 | * In ''Even If It Was Just Once, I Regret It,'' Kozuka, an unemployed woman, enters into a deal with her landlady to do certain things for her to pay back her overdue rent. When Kozuka seemingly gets a job at a smartphone game company, the landlady apologizes to her and starts to make a LoveConfession, but then Kozuka's smartphone rings, and she learns that she didn't actually get a job offer. After hearing the news, the landlady abandons her attempt to confess. |

| 62 | * In ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'', Mind is interrupted when she declares her love to Sistah Spooky, who arrives precisely "three seconds too late" to save her from burning up in a descending space station. |

| 68 | * After a wave of courage washed into Japan in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11886910/1/Gankona-Unnachgiebig-Unità Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità]]'', he was about to confess to Italy just as Germany stepped back into the picture. |
| 69 | * In Chapter 15 of ''Fanfic/TheGreatestOfThemAll'', Peter interrupts Silver's first AnguishedDeclarationOfLove by revealing how old he was when he was sent back in time and the fact that he's married. He does this under the belief that no woman would agree to be in a harem. This earns him [[WhatTheHellHero a scolding from Death]], who convinces him to try and see if a polyamorous relationship could work and explain himself properly to Silver. |
| 70 | * In Chapter 16 of ''FanFic/GreenTeaRescue'', Ochako decides to come clean and tell Izuku she loves him. [[spoiler: Unfortunately for Ochako, Izuku is tackled by Eri before she can get very far.]] |
| 71 | [[/folder]] |
| 72 | |
| 73 | [[folder:Film - Animated]] |
| 74 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Rio}}'': When Blu tries to tell Jewel he loves her he ends up accidentally swallowing a flower petal Jewel then has to help him by performing the Heimlich while Rafael, Pedro, and Nico watch in disbelief. |
| 75 | -->'''Rafael''': [[SarcasmMode Yep, that's my boy.]]\ |
| 76 | (''Nico mimics a bomb dropping and exploding'') |
| 77 | [[/folder]] |
| 78 | |
| 79 | [[folder:Film — Live-Action]] |
| 80 | * In ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'', during the Battle for Hogwarts Ron tries to confess to Hermione while they're being chased by Nagini, but Hermione interrupts him: |
| 81 | -->'''Hermione:''' I don't want you to say anything that you wouldn't say if we weren't about to be killed by a giant snake. It'll just ruin it. |
| 82 | * ''Film/RedWhiteAndRoyalBlue'': At the lake, Alex Claremont-Diaz tries to express his love for Prince Henry, but the latter dives into the water before the former can finish what would've been his LoveConfession. |
| 83 | -->'''Alex''': I've never felt this way about anyone. It's like there's a rope attached to my chest and it keeps pulling me towards you. And it feels so right. What I mean to say is, Henry, I-- |
| 84 | * ''Film/SinCity'': Nancy Callahan is about to tell John Hartigan [[RescueRomance she's fallen in love with him since he saved her life]] as a child, when the man in the car tailing them puts a bullet through the windscreen. After Hartigan disposes of the attacker she completes the confession in a hotel room, and even offers RescueSex (which Hartigan turns down on principle, as his love for her is of a surrogate daughter). |
| 85 | * In ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', Peter is about to go through with a LoveConfession to MJ, who interrupts him, [[SecretSecretKeeper thinking he's confessing to being Spider-Man]] and [[WhamLine catching him off guard]]: |
| 86 | -->'''Peter:''' MJ, I... |
| 87 | -->'''MJ:''' [[SecretSecretKeeper Am Spider-Man?]] |
| 88 | ** From there, Peter's confession attempt falls apart even further, and MJ accidentally devastates him when she [[PoorCommunicationKills misleads him]] into thinking she only pays attention to him to see if her theory is correct. She's about to explain that [[ThatCameOutWrong isn't what she meant]] when [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere a monster appears]], forcing Peter back into action as Spider-Man, and the two of them don't reunite until the climax of the movie. |

| 91 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 92 | * ''Literature/FromTheNewWorld''. Saki begins declaring her love to Shun, but Shun interrupts her to tell her goodbye. He reciprocates her feelings, but he's about to make a HeroicSacrifice and hearing a confession would make that harder to follow through. |
| 93 | * ''Literature/PodkayneOfMars''. The title character says; "Do listen please, because this is important. I love--" before she is killed by an atomic blast. Her sociopathic brother wonders who it was she loved. [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth "Everybody, maybe."]] |

| 98 | -->'''Lilah:''' The only true thing I ever--\ |

| 100 | '''Lilah:''' We'll never know now, will we? |
| 101 | * ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' |
| 102 | ** In "Into The Woods", Buffy breaks up with Riley, but Xander convinces her to reconsider and she races to stop him before he leaves on a military helicopter, arriving just as the helicopter is taking off. The rotor noise drowns out her shouts and Riley is staring straight ahead, so doesn't see her. |
| 103 | ** In "Crush", Spike is about to blurt out a LoveConfession when Buffy cuts him off, [[SickAndWrong shocked and disgusted]] that this amoral former enemy turned reluctant ally has fallen for her. To ensure he won't be interrupted a second time, Spike later zaps Buffy with a taser and chains her up in his crypt so she'll have to listen to his full spiel. Needless to say Buffy is not impressed by this either. |
| 104 | ** Swapped around with the same pair [[note]] after years of CharacterDevelopment, and well, the acquisition of a soul on his end[[/note]] in season 11. Caught in a government-mandated monster internment camp, Buffy and Willow decide to get themselves de-magicked so that they are allowed to leave the premises. Spike has to stay behind, as being undead means magic is literally keeping him alive and cannot be pulled from him without killing him. Before they part ways, he says his goodbye LoveConfession and she's about to echo it back, but he shushes her and asks that she tell him when they're together again. She does at the end of the season. |
| 105 | * This happened on ''Series/{{Degrassi|TheNextGeneration}}'', when JT was killed before he could tell Liberty that he still loved her. |

| 109 | ** The Twelfth Doctor attempts to say something along these lines to Clara when she [[spoiler:prepares to meet her death]] in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E10FaceTheRaven "Face the Raven"]], but Clara interrupts him with a hug, saying, "Everything you're about to say, I already know. Don't do it now." |

| 111 | * ''Series/{{Friends}}'': |
| 112 | ** Ross is constantly cut off through the first season when he finds the nerve to ask Rachel out. He never could find the right time because just as he wants to tell her, he's attacked by a cat that falls on him, or Rachel dates somebody else. |
| 113 | ** In the second series, it was Rachel. She found out about Ross and realized she had feelings for him but couldn't do anything because [[UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo he had started dating someone else]]. |
| 114 | * ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'': Many times, due to the [[UnresolvedSexualTension UST]]. |
| 115 | ** In "Do I Know You?", Barney was about to tell Robin he loved her, but Robin introduced a girl to him. Just that and Barney was back to his way of [[TheCasanova womanizing]]. |
| 116 | ** In "The Best Man", Robin barely got to "Barney, I..." when Barney's phone rang. |
| 117 | ** An interesting case in "The Leap". Barney wanted to confess his love to Robin, but she told him she loved him. [[CommitmentIssues Freaked out]], he immediately told her they [[BetterAsFriends should be friends]]. |
| 118 | * ''Series/TheInbetweeners''. Simon tries for a big declaration of love with Carli at the winter prom in the series 1 finale. He CannotSpitItOut, despite Jay setting everything up for him to go for it. Then Neil's attempts to kiss his unfortunate biology teacher takes the heat off Simon. By the time he looks back, Carli is off arguing with her boyfriend about his initial refusal to come to the prom. On the plus side, Simon's recurring EmbarrassingNickname of "Boner" has been passed onto Neil. |
| 119 | * ''Series/MurdochMysteries'': Late in "The Murdoch Sting", Murdoch literally goes down on one knee and tries to propose to Dr. Ogden. At first, [[CanNotSpitItOut he interrupts himself while trying to pop the question]], but then she interrupts him to say, "I can't!" before fleeing into her house. He doesn't know this at the time--indeed, he knocks on her door and calls out to her--but she's gotten a letter [[spoiler: purportedly]] from arch-nemesis James Gillies threatening death if she marries Murdoch or tells him of the threat. |
| 120 | * ''Series/TheProfessionals''. In "Look After Annie", Bodie and Doyle are driving an OldFlame of their boss George Cowley to the airport after she's survived an assassination attempt.

She's cut off from telling O'Neill how she really feels about him by the entrance of Kerry (letting the secret out that she and O'Neill are seeing one another). |
| 126 | -->'''Carter''': I'm sorry to bother you with this, but uh, see, there's actually a very good reason that I'm bothering you with this, and if I don't tell you now, I might never… |
| 127 | ** Also happens in "Lost City Part 2": |

He was really excited to see her and also clearly drunk, so he had the guts to ask her for a drink.

Poor Pendrell got shot a moment later and was rushed to hospital. [[spoiler:He died off-screen in the next episode.]] |
| 132 | * On ''Series/{{Zoey 101}}'', this becomes somewhat of a RunningGag for Chase, who has been in love with his best friend Zoey since the day he met her. He tries valiantly several times to tell her how he feels, only to be interrupted--usually by the friends who keep telling him to reveal his feelings. Ironically, for all the times he tried to tell her on purpose, he ends up telling her completely by accident. |
| 133 | [[/folder]] |
| 134 | |
| 135 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 136 | * ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'': Implied Trope; there's a bottle of champagne, two glasses, and a sign saying "Marry Me" neatly set up on a bench overlooking the ocean that's going unused because Scarecrow's attack forced everyone to evacuate the city. Some poor sap planned out his whole proposal and instead got to take his girlfriend on a romantically crowded bus ride away from a chemical weapons attack. |
| 137 | * ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'' has one of the funniest interruptions of love. Eiko lost her love letter to Zidane and it has been rolling around from hand to hand. It all comes to an end when Alexandrian General Beatrix thinks Commander Steiner wrote that letter to her and Steiner thought that too, and they meet at the castle's pier. Eiko, Blank and Marcus are excited to see the grand finale when... ''ATISHOO!'' Baku, leader of the Tantalus thieves, sneezes loudly and spoils everything.

Given the ongoing disaster outside and the obvious danger Max is about head off to, Warren realizes he may not get another opportunity to tell Max how he feels about her, but she gently interjects that she's known all along.

| 140 | * In ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'', at the party finale in Iki Town, [[spoiler:Lillie]] is about to reveal something to [[spoiler:the player character (boy or girl)]] with quite a very romantic feeling, but everything is suddenly interrupted by the sound of the fireworks. |
| 141 | * About halfway through ''VideoGame/TalesOfLegendia'', Shirley finally gets up the nerve to tell Senel that she's in love with him. She gets as far as "I love" before Senel stops her. He rejects her advances outright because he still feels lingering attraction to Stella, Shirely's dead older sister. Heartbroken, Shirley runs off, deciding to become the Merines and bring about the end of the world. Even the other heroes [[WhatTheHellHero can't believe]] [[NiceJobBreakingItHero how much of an ass]] Senel was to Shirley, whom he considered [[LikeBrotherAndSister like his little sister]]. |
| 142 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Solatorobo}}'', [[spoiler:Red to Elh in one sidequest.]] She says she hasn't been able to feel happiness or love in years, but has finally begun to feel them again with him. He says he's got something he needs to say to her as well, but then [[spoiler:the simulation ends and he loses his train of thought, though he remembers vividly that he was going to say something ''important'']]. She decides she'll just be patient and wait until he can tell her himself. Of course, [[ShipperOnDeck that was Merveille's plan all along]]. |
| 143 | * ''VideoGame/{{Skyborn}}'': It seems as though Ryler has feelings for Alda back in their flashback. When he wants to tell her something, he is interrupted by the announcement that their final exams are starting. It is all very sad. |
