* ComicBook/IronMan and ComicBook/BlackWidow appear to fall into this category, they do have some UnresolvedSexualTension but in the majority of comics they appear Tony and Natasha simply trade barbs with each other and relax on each other's company. It's especially noteworthy considering how many relationships they both respectively have had, that againist all odds they've never officially been a couple in the mainline comics. Widow is even one of the few people who's called him "Anthony" and gotten away with it.

She's probably one of the very women other than Aunt May that Peter genuinely relaxes around whilst his relationships with MJ and Black Cat are by comparison more passionate, more painful and more complicated.

** For that matter, since the third act of ''Film/IronMan2'' Natasha's relationship with Tony has been this, [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9VwnEuFWwgo&t=58s with them playfully bickering and teasing each other to no end]]. Sadly for Tony though Nat's friendship and loyalty with the aforementioned Steve ultimately wins out leading to Nat (due to their shared experiences) to betray Tony's side at a crucial moment in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' at which Tony makes clear to Nat afterwards the trust and friendship between them is gone. They appear to least forgiven each other by the time of ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' with Natasha giving Tony a MeaningfulLook while he holds his daughter Morgan in his arms. [[spoiler:Though tragically Natasha dies and Tony soon joins her in the grave before any spoken resolution happens between them.]]

Simply being friends doesn't make a pair an example, nor does just being TrueCompanions. Because most childhood relationships are inherently platonic, friendships between children do not qualify unless they continue into adulthood and remain platonic. Contrast JustFriends for when this does actually blossom into romance. Not to be confused with UnluckyChildhoodFriend, in which one side does have feelings for the other. Compare with StupidSexyFriend. The trope may be averted if the relationship becomes a ChildhoodFriendRomance or (for actual siblings) subverted by BrotherSisterIncest. This trope is sometimes the result of the NoHuggingNoKissing rule.

Katara barely tolerated Zuko, not even jokingly did she see him as a brother.

** This same play portrays the characters that actually are this trope, Katara and Zuko, as a couple ([[FanPreferredCouple though some fans would prefer this]]); their immediate reaction is to scoot further away from each other in embarrassment.

Sometimes, two characters of the opposite sex are very close — so close that you might expect them to be dating. Except they're not. They admit that they matter a great deal to each other, that they would die for each other, that they can't imagine life without each other. They aren't just any pair of friends. They're as close as family. They're like brother and sister!
Often, other people don't believe this. They [[MistakenForRomance assume that the couple must be dating]] — or at least that they [[JustFriends secretly wish they were]]. When the couple say they are like brother and sister, they will point out the one tiny but debilitating flaw with their theory: They are ''not'' brother and sister.

* ''Film/{{Scream}}'': Ever since [[Film/Scream1996 the very first film]], Dwight "Dewey" Riley and Sidney Prescott have proven to be insanely and intimately close without ever being romantically-involved. Specifically, this is with Sidney having been best friends with his sister Tatum and her and Dewey having constantly remained in touch over the years and always happy to see each other. Dewey was always ready to put himself on the line to protect Sidney no matter what while she also was very protective of him too.

* Grog Strongjaw and Pike Trickfoot from ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' were both raised together. He is a hulking goliath barbarian who likes to rage, and she is a more down-to-earth gnome cleric, but the sibling-like bond they share is one of the strongest in the Vox Machina party, second only to twins Vex and Vax.
