Basic Trope: A victory is rewarded with a kiss.

  • Straight: After Bob wins the championship game, Alice rewards him with The Big Damn Kiss.
  • Exaggerated: Alice rewards Bob with a full-fledged make-out session before they have sex.
  • Downplayed: Alice rewards Bob with a quick peck on the cheek.
  • Justified: Alice has been hiding her crush on Bob, but the rush of victory causes her feelings to finally burst out.
  • Inverted:
    • After Bob wins the game, Alice slaps him angrily because she wanted Charlie to win.
    • After Bob loses the game, Alice comforts him with a kiss.
    • Alice gives Bob a Motivational Kiss before the game.
  • Subverted: Alice congratulates Bob for winning, but just as he expects her to kiss him, she leaves without doing so.
  • Double Subverted: She meets him later in private and gives him a kiss then.
  • Parodied: Alice snogs Bob for beating level one of Candy Crush. So does Donna. And Ethan.
  • Zig Zagged: ???
  • Averted: Bob wins, but Alice is a no-show.
  • Enforced: The author decides it's time for Alice and Bob to have a Relationship Upgrade.
  • Lampshaded: “Congratulations on winning, Bob! Oh, by the way, Alice is coming. Better pucker up.”
  • Invoked: "You know, Alice, if Bob wins this, you should...reward him."
  • Exploited: Bob’s fangirls see Alice kiss him and are inspired to write shipping fanfics.
  • Defied: Bob, being Allergic to Love, stays one step ahead of Alice's attempt to kiss him.
  • Discussed: “Just think about what you stand to win, Bob—fame, fortune, and maybe a kiss from Alice.”
  • Conversed: “If Bob wins, will Alice finally kiss him?”
  • Implied: After winning, Bob goes off on his own while Alice follows. Shortly thereafter, Bob is Covered in Kisses.
  • Played For Laughs: Bob is Allergic to Love, and Alice sends him into Post-Kiss Catatonia.
  • Played For Drama: When Alice’s boyfriend Charlie sees her snogging Bob, he is…not happy…
