* Played straight in ''Treasure Planet'', when Long John Silver places a blanket on a sleeping Jim Hawkins.

* In ''Snake In The Eagle's Shadow'' the Old Man does this for Chien, who is the whipping boy for the martial arts school where he's been raised.

* DC example, featuring a cape instead of a blanket. In ''YoungJustice: [[CrisisCrossover Sins of Youth]]'', the JusticeLeagueOfAmerica and JusticeSocietyOfAmerica have been [[FountainOfYouth turned into kids]], while the members of Young Justice and other young heroes [[ThirteenGoingOnThirty have been aged]]. One of these heroes is Star-Spangled Kid (Courtney Whitmore, now Stargirl), who becomes Starwoman thanks to the age reversal. As the JSA goes to an alien planet to pick up some phlebotinum, she gets into an argument with another hero on the trip, Merry the Gimmick-Girl, who was the adopted sister of the [[LegacyCharacter original Star-Spangled Kid]]. She really doesn't like Courtney because she's "dishonoring" [=SSK1=]'s legacy. (Merry does have a point: Courtney stole his equipment.) Anyway, during the adventure, Courtney proves herself, and she and the JSA Junior take a nap. While she's sleeping, Merry covers Courtney with her cape. Definitely an aww-inspiring moment.

* Used in Full Moon Wo Sagashite anime when Takuto finds Mitsuki asleep at her desk. He shows his [[HiddenHeartOfGold]]by covering her with a blanket and smiling warmly. Though later when she inquires about it and thanks him, he blushes and decides to [[ChangeTheSubject]]. In another episode, he covers her up with his parka while she's sleeping inside a lighthouse.

* In the second season of ''Gundam 00 Tieria'' does this for one of the BridgeBunnies, though not so much as a romantic device as a demonstration of exactly how much Tieria has [[CharacterDevelopment grown as a character]] from the {{jerkass}} he was in season one.

* Used a couple of times in ''GunXSword''. Van gives one of the early hints of his HiddenHeartOfGold by covering Wendy with his coat after she faints (all we see is her waking up to discover the coat). Later in the series, Ray demonstrates that he still cares about his brother by covering him with a blanket while he naps.

--> I thought you were a real person, but you're just a [[OneTreeHill Comforting]] [[MemeticMutation Comforter]] [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment who Comforts]]!

See also SleepCute and HiddenHeartOfGold. Though it is possible, it makes little sense to call out someone on being a [[OneTreeHill Comforting]] [[MemeticMutation Comforter]] [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment who Comforts]].

* Twice in the 1927 film ''{{Sunrise}}''. Near the beginning, the Wife covers the Man with a blanket after he comes in late, even though she knows he's been out philandering. Then, near the end, the Man shields his wife from the wind with his coat as she dozes on the boat.

* Done in [[LoisMcMasterBujold Shards of Honor]], as a hint that our heroine isn't as revolted by the hero as much as she likes to think she is.

* [[AnthropomorphicPersonification OC!Scotland]] from AxisPowersHetalia, despite what other fanworks had portrayed him as, was [[http://www.zerochan.net/253551 quite]] [[http://www.zerochan.net/268771 gentle]] [[http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae93/Lady_Quintessa/Hetalia/dontcryigotyou.jpg?t=1288297915 with]] [[http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae93/Lady_Quintessa/Hetalia/11867494_p11.jpg?t=1288298225 a sleeping England.]]

* In ''TheIncredibleHulk'', Elizabeth puts her jacket on the sleeping Bruce Banner.

->Coop: That's actually my favorite shirt.
->Katie: Oh!
->Coop: So you're going to have to give it back. Now.

* In ''PrincessMononoke'', Ashitaka does it to San.

* In ''[[TheEmperorsNewGroove The Emperor's New Groove]]'', Pacha covers a shivering Kuzco ([[BalefulPolymorph in llama form]]) with his coat even though Kuzco has been nothing but a {{jerkass}} to him so far. This gesture of kindness marks the first step up in relations between Pacha and Kuzco.
