* ''Literature/TortallUniverse''

[[folder:Newspaper Comics]]
* Made into a joke during one of Paige's {{Dream Sequence}}s in ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot''. As it turns out, the "kisses" are wherever she's being nibbled by Jason's pet iguana.

* Princess Peach in ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' has kissed Mario on the cheek, nose, forehead, and ear, but never on the lips. Mario's big, cartoony nose does make kissing like that somewhat difficult

* In ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'', this trope being employed causes the [[AMagicContractComesWithAKiss magical contracts]] to (mostly) fail, much to the dismay of characters who didn't want to kiss a 10 year old.

* In ''FanFic/MegaManDefenderOfTheHumanRace'', [=ProtoMan's=] first kiss to Nomad is on her forehead.
* In ''FanFic/{{Shatterheart}}'', Kurogane kisses [[spoiler: R!]]Syaoran on his face and neck when they become FriendsWithBenefits. It starts to change when their feelings for each other grow.
* In ''FanFic/SonOfTheDesert'' to demonstrate that he forgives Roy for Ishval and is refusing Roy's offer to kill him, Edward kisses Roy's hand.

* On ''Series/{{The 100}}'', Clarke hugs Bellamy and kisses him on the cheek before saying goodbye at the end of Season 2. Makes sense, as they have a JustFriends relationship, but since they're a FanPreferredCouple, [[ShipTease the shippers went nuts over it.]]

* ''WebComic/SabrinaOnline'': When giving [=ZigZag=] a promised kiss, Sabrina refuses to smooch her on the lips.

* In ''LightNovel/MaoyuuMaouYuusha'' the Hero kisses the Demon Queen in the forehead before leaving for the Demon Lands. She is dejected.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'': At the end of "Purrfect Gig", after Luna and her girlfriend Sam have successfully taken care of the [=McBride=] cats, Sam gives Luna her half of the catsitting money so Luna can afford her VIP pass for the upcoming Mick Swagger concert they're attending that weekend, as Sam had already managed to get hers. Luna thanks her by giving her a big kiss on the cheek.

* ''Series/{{Angel}}''. Combined with RuleOfThrees in "A Hole in the World". Wesley twice kisses Winifred on the forehead; as she's infected with a lethal demonic pathogen, it's only sensible to avoid swapping body fluids. As Fred is dying in his arms however, [[LastKiss Wesley kisses her fully on the mouth]] because he no longer cares what happens to him.

** In the episode "The Body" Xander kisses Willow on the forehead. It makes sense, given that Willow and Xander are close friends, the kiss is one of comfort, and their significant others are both present. Ironically, Willow and Tara had just shared their first onscreen (lesbian) kiss a few minutes earlier.

** Angelus kisses Spike on the forehead in "Innocence". As with all displays of 'affection' between the two rival vampires, it's part HoYay, part TakeThatKiss.

** Notably averted in "Intervention". Buffy gives Spike a [[SmoochOfVictory kiss out of gratitude]] for his being willing to be tortured to death rather than surrender Buffy's little sister. Despite not wanting to give ''any'' encouragement to Spike's repeated advances, Buffy kisses him on the mouth instead of the cheek. This is Spike's first indication that their [[FoeRomanceSubtext attraction might be mutual]].

* In ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'', Snow White kisses the dwarfs on the forehead. Dopey, however, always puckers up hoping she'll kiss him on the lips.
* In the teaser trailer for ''Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'', Tiana is reluctant to kiss frog Naveen on the lips, insisting there was nothing in the original story about it. Explained and expanded upon in the actual movie -- Tiana finds frogs disgusting and doesn't want to kiss ''any'' part of one.

** Sapphire kisses Ruby's ''tear'' in "Jail Break", and Ruby has kissed Sapphire on the cheek and neck in "Keystone Motel", but their lips didn't quite touched on-screen. Mind you, the latter version was more like "''everywhere'' but the lips." [[spoiler:They kiss on the lips for the first time on-screen during their wedding in "Reunited".]]

** By ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseTheMovie'' and ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseFuture'', Steven and Connie are more or less dating, but they remain so chaste that we mostly see Connie kissing Steven cheek or forehead. They finally kiss on the lips [[spoiler:as a sendoff to Steven moving out of Beach City.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', Sapphire kisses Ruby's ''tear'' in "Jail Break", and Ruby has kissed Sapphire on the cheek and neck in "Keystone Motel", but their lips didn't quite touched on-screen. Mind you, the latter version was more like "''everywhere'' but the lips." [[spoiler:They kiss on the lips for the first time on-screen during their wedding in "Reunited".]]

** In the season six finale, in a tender moment [[spoiler:Jon]] kisses his sister Sansa on her forehead after telling her they need to trust each other. [[spoiler: It was meant to be a moment of brotherly affection but try to tell that to [[IncestYayShipping shippers]].]]

* In ''Webcomic/PixieTrixComix'', the trope is {{Inverted|Trope}} when the lesbian and nervous Roxie, who is basically trying to work out if she has any sort of chance with Zadie and to make her interest clear, says goodnight to the other woman by [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/pixie-trix-comix/your-comfort-zone giving her a quick kiss on the lips]] — which leaves Zadie startled and provably fairly clear about things without making the situation ''too'' stressful.

* Lydia thanks Betelgeuse for her birthday outing with a kiss on the cheek, in ''Webcomic/CobwebAndStripes''. He's a little flustered by it.
