She [[spoiler: once was in a relationship with him while impersonating her sister, Dahlia]], and Phoenix [[spoiler:once put his life on the line to protect her by drinking what might be poison]].

As well as throwing Iris, his own client and former girlfriend whom he implied to still have lingering feelings for, under the bus after she started to accuse Maya of killing in self-defense.]] Which quite uncannily mirrors his instance earlier in the game when his girlfriend got accused of murder. In ''[[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneySpiritOfJustice Spirit of Justice,]]'' Phoenix flat-out told Princess Rayfa how he wouldn't mind jumping into a ''[[{{Squick}} septic tank]]'' if it meant it would help Maya.

* The side stories in ''VisualNovel/DokoDokiLiteratureClub [[UpdatedRerelease Plus]]'' are about all the characters minus the PlayerCharacter forming friendships between each other, with one per each pairing. Each of them has the two characters talking about their respective relationship, and about their feelings, and having a final cute scene together. It's not that it's not about just friendship, but, well, it has those elements just mentioned.

* In ''VisualNovel/MajiDeWatashiNiKoiShinasai'', barring the main heroines who of course each got their own ending, many hints were also dropped for a number of side characters such as Fushikawa in Mayucchi's path, leading to their [[PromotionToLoveInterest promotion to heroine in the sequel]].
* Riki, the protagonist of ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'', obviously has ship tease with each of the girls he can end up with. But more notably, he also has a veritable ''shitton'' of it with his ChildhoodFriend Kyousuke. Much of it - the touchiness, their tendency to get into suggestive situations together - is simple HoYay, but in one optional scene Riki outright admits mentally that he has feelings for Kyousuke but isn't doing anything because [[IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship he doesn't want to ruin their friendship]], and everything we hear from Kyousuke on the subject is ambiguous at worst and very much implying he feels the same at best. However, since there is no GayOption, not even a comedic one like in ''{{VisualNovel/CLANNAD}}'', the pairing is sadly never to be. At least, not in any of the [[MultipleEndings realities]] the player can see, anyway.

*** From Maya's side, some of her interactions with Phoenix in the [[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations the third game]] were also quite suspect, such as being upset with Adrian Andrews (who is an attractive woman) casually greeting Phoenix like a close friend when she first met her. There's also this exchange right after they listened to the story of how a character met and fell in love with her husband after he risked his life to save her from robbers.

* In ''VisualNovel/SpiritHunterNG'', Akira and Kaoru can have some flirtatious moments together. Kaoru wants to paint symbols on Akira to protect him from spirits, and so asks him to undress in front of her. While riding her home on his motorcycle, Akira has the option to playfully caress her knee. And Kaoru says that she wants to get to know Akira better... in a ''spiritual'' way, of course. Don't mind her red cheeks. If she's around for the Demon Tsukuyomi case, then the two will pretend to be a couple to draw out a spirit.

* In ''VisualNovel/SuperDanganRonpa2''...oh, man. There's no question that [[spoiler: Kuzuryuu and Pekoyama]] love each other very much. The real question is if the love is [[ChildhoodFriendRomance romantic]] or [[LikeBrotherAndSister familial]] in nature. [[spoiler: Pekoyama, Kuzuryuu's bodyguard, is loyal to him to the point where she kills one student and tries to condemn the others (including herself) to death just to get him off the island, and encourages him to use her to any means he desires. Kuzuryuu, normally a chilly jerkass, breaks down crying at Pekoyama's sentencing and risks his life in a futile attempt to save her from her execution. Plus, he actually refuses to treat her like a tool and sees her as a beloved companion, which is in marked contrast to his behavior towards his other classmates.]] It may be the [[{{Tearjerker}} emotionally charged]] atmosphere of Chapter 2's trial, but there are a lot of fans who believe there's something romantic going on there.
** [[spoiler:Pekoyama's]] Dangan Island route outright confirms that [[spoiler:the reason why Hinata couldn't end up with her is because she already likes someone else, with that someone else heavily implied to be Kuzuryuu.]] A Valentines Day tweet reaffirms this notion. Also, [[spoiler:in chapter 6 the reason why Kuzuryuu eventually decides to choose the Forced Shutdown option is because Pekoyama would have wanted him to, otherwise he would have chosen the Stay option just so he could be with Pekoyama again.]]
** Gundam Tanaka and Sonia Nevermind probably get the most ship tease second to Pekoyama and Kuzuryuu. Not only is Sonia the one character to make Gundam blush, she is also the only one he doesn't refer to in a demeaning manner and clearly respects her the most out of the class. It goes as far as him referring to her as his "Dark Lady" and in one of his free time events, he tells Hinata about his fantastical image of her. On Sonia's end, she greatly admires Gundam and his hamsters, and even joins in on his antics from time to time. It's to the point where it seems that she's the only person who not only accepts Gundam's fantasies but also understands and believes them. The most apparent ship tease occurs in Chapter 4, where Sonia tagged along with Gundam whenever the group split up, the two of them showed great team work and deduction during the trial and Sonia defended him to the bitter end when he was accused of being the murderer.
** There's also quite a bit ship tease between Hajime and Chiaki. During one of her free time events, she compliments him on being well-built and says that she trusts him enough to carry her, all of which leaves Hajime very nervous and self-conscious. He even mentions his heart racing on more than a few occasions with her. During her final free time event, Chiaki admits that she doesn't know a lot of things, like how to fall in love with someone, and asks Hajime if he'll keep teaching her. She also asks him not to never forget about her after he gets off the island. He promises that once they escape, he'll take her to all kinds of different places. Outside of the free time events, Hajime gets flustered at the sight of her in a swimsuit, and they become very close, with Hajime relying on her more and more for emotional support. [[spoiler:Her death signals the start of his [[BreakTheCutie downward spiral]], and her [[AlwaysWithYou ghost]] appearing to give him a pep-talk is what lifts him out of it.]]
** It helps that all the couples mentioned here (and in the first game above) are constantly paired together in official merchandise.

* In ''VisualNovel/DanganRonpa'', there is a little bit of it between Naegi and Maizono, due to them being classmates in middle school and the only two who knew each other before Hope's Peak Academy. [[spoiler: It all comes to nothing, as Maizono ends up dying after trying to kill someone else and frame Naegi for it. However, she leaves behind the name of her killer, written in blood. Kirigiri speculates that this may have been in repentance for her earlier manipulation.]]
** After [[spoiler: Maizono's death]], hints of Kirigiri/Naegi started popping up. What with both [[{{Troll}} Monokuma]] and [[PluckyGirl Asahina]] mistaking the two to be dating when they were [[NotWhatItLooksLike meeting up secretly in the sauna]], Kirigiri being furious after Naegi keeps a secret from her (when early on he convinces her that they should trust each other completely with their secrets), and Kirigiri [[spoiler: coming to Naegi's rescue in the garbage dump after his execution failed]], it's not hard to assume that there's something going on between the two.
