Almost Kiss

Almost Kiss is one of many TV Tropes used in BT Productions.

## Basic Info

It just may be the cruelest, most frustrating thing a writer could ever pull. Two characters are about to kiss, but are stopped from doing so at the very last moment by something interrupting them.

## Examples

* Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn attempt to kiss after becoming co-champions in the Royal Rumble AU. They get interrupted by Kenny Omega, but the entire incident was revealed to be a daydream. They later successfully kiss for real.
* Fletchling's main goal in When a Robin Meets Time is to make her relationship with Dialga official. The plan is to have Dialga and Fletchling kiss in epic fashion to end the story arc. Before then, there were five almost moments.
	+ Fletchling's first attempt is interrupted by Chris McLean's bird call. He lets her know that Celebrity Big Brother 2 is ready.
	+ After winning the first HoH competition together, Dialga and Fletchling try to kiss each other. Julie Chen interrupts by revealing they have to compete against each other.
	+ Dialga and Fletchling agree to share their prize money together, and the music turns romantic as they lean in for the kiss. Only for Chris to come out and triple dog dare Fletchling to compete in Survivor: David vs. Goliath.
	+ By the end of the arc, Dialga is ready to confess his feelings for Fletchling. Fletchling had already given birth to a baby girl after Dialga raped her. As they fawn over the baby, they try to kiss, only for Scarlett to interrupt them as she made a mistake.
	+ They try again as the sun sets and the ocean's waves get higher. However, the waves get too high and wash them away. After that, some quick thinking on part of Dialga allows him to confess to Fletchling, and they successfully kiss for the first time.
* BT Productions and Roman Reigns try to seal their marriage with a kiss. Both attempts get interrupted pixels before their lips connect.
* Will Scotayaka Beat the Odds?: After Sayaka Maizono successfully beats the odds for the second time, she and Scotty Raven Jay attempt to kiss as celebration. But it gets interrupted by Genocide Jack, Korekiyo Shinguji, and Junko Enoshima because the terms of Scotty's bet meant they can join BrantSteele.
* J MB's Danganronpa features three almost kisses.
	+ Kaede Akamatsu and Shuichi Saihara have grown very close to each other throughout Chapter 1. Shuichi offers to be Kaede's assistant detective, and Kaede responds by attempting to make their partnership official via kiss. Then they get interrupted by the nighttime announcement. Shuichi is frustrated by the almost kiss and vents to Korekiyo Shinguji, giving the butler an easy opportunity to kill the inventor.
	+ Kokichi Oma confides to Himiko Yumeno during their Free Time in Chapter 4 that he has never been kissed before. This makes Himiko grow close to Kokichi, and the day of Gonta Gokuhara's magic show, she puts him under her spell and attempts to kiss him. Gonta barges in at the last moment, having gone out to gather everyone to attend his show.
	+ Shuichi Saihara broke the Necronomicon loophole and is about to die a second time. He decides to make his last moment alive count by attempting to kiss Kokichi Oma. But Monokuma opens a trap door under Shuichi before he could lock lips.
* Several custom events in the BrantSteele Hunger Games Simulator use this trope. Possible interruptions include cats, dogs, birds, mice, Chris McLean, or even other tributes.
* Other custom events have tributes watching commericals and getting frustrated over the almost kiss.
