The Forestdale gang's friendship is pretty darn heartwarming through and through. Sure they may get at each other's nerves sometimes, or a LOT of the time, but it's clear that those six kids truly care about one another and value the bonds they all share.
Dallas and his sister Victoria tend to be at odds the majority of the time, him being the annoying baby brother and her being the snarky older sister; but when Dallas was completely terrified during a thunderstorm, not only did he go straight to her for comfort but she allowed him to spend the night cuddled up to her without so much as another word.
Victor Summers ends up averting most of the negative stereotypes associated with your typical sports dad, being a loving and attentive father who has a very positive relationship with both of his kids that's honestly pretty sweet.
Jake's relationship with his adopted family is also bound to give you the warm fuzzies. As far as the Noel's are concerned, Jake is part of the family in everything except for blood. They treat him with nothing but love and respect, doing everything they can to make him feel welcome. Jordan in particular shines through as when Jake first arrived in their home, he gave the hybrid a hoodie that matched his own to symbolize their brotherly bond; a hoodie that Jake wears ALL THE TIME.
At one point Racheal tries to get herself an ice cream cone but is a few dollars short of what she needs and the bear running the truck is unmoved by her begging. Right as it looks like she's about to cry, Jake swoops in from nowhere and covers the cost of the cone himself. The happy smile Racheal's sporting as she enjoys her frozen treat with Jake is just precious.
The 74th strip Winter Nap. It's the DEFINITION of adorable!
Another great familial relationship is that between Sora and her father Jun-Yeong. While he appears to be the typical busy father who has no time to raise his own child on the surface, it quickly becomes apparent that Jun-Yeong is the sort of dad who will always make time for his little girl and holds her close to his heart with the feeling being mutual on Sora's end.
The entire mother's day strip is just one big bundle of warm fuzzies with the entire cast hanging out with their moms: Dallas and Kyle playing video games with Rita and Christi, Jake and Jasmine baking cookies, Adam helping Judy with her knitting, and Sora taking the time to mourn her deceased mother alongside her father.
Dallas agreeing to hide Victoria's secret relationship if for no other reason than to protect his older sister is sweeter than honey. It really shows that no matter how much the two bicker with one another, the Burnside siblings always step up when one of their own is in trouble.
Dallas tells Victoria that when she's ready to tell her parents that she's gay, he promises to be by her side no matter what.
It then shows Dallas and Victoria's parents watching them from a window as they both reveal that they already know that their daughter is a lesbian, but won't say anything because they know that Victoria will tell them when she's ready, and when she does, they'll tell her that no matter what, they'll always love her.
While walking to school, Jake finds a homeless veteran on the street, begging for food or money. It then cuts to lunchtime at school, where Kyle asks Jake why his lunch doesn't have his mom's brownies in them, and Jake says that he gave them to someone who needed them more. Cut to the homless person enjoying the brownies.
After Sora tells Izabell about how she used to go to a summer festival in Japan held in her mother's hometown, subtly hinting that she still misses her, the tabby cat immediately offers to attend a summer festival downtown with her bestie. Even going so far as to get dressed up in a Yukata despite hating 'girly' outfits.
Adam offering to let Izabell play video games at his house after her parents grounded her from her favorite hobby for trashing the house is the sweetest of gestures, especially considering all the trouble Izabell had endured over the course of the day.
. It's the DEFINITION of adorable!
