When you find a friend in a state of great emotional distress, the appropriate response is a three-step process: Hug them Kiss their forehead Press your forehead against theirs (Murmuring soothing words or wiping away their tears is optional) Any gender can be on either side of this trope, but it's rare for a male character to be a recipient from a female, probably because he's usually taller. This pose is also handy so two can be close to each other without obscuring faces from the camera. Also known to less trope-savvy folk as "(doing) the forehead thing." Subtrope of Affectionate Gesture to the Head. See Headbutt Thermometer for when foreheads touch to check the temperature. Compare Anywhere but Their Lips and Non-Standard Kiss. |

Made in Abyss: Riko does this to Reg (female-to-male, but they're almost the same height) after reassuring him that her scarred and weakened arm from his attempted amputation after a monster poisoned her hand isn't his fault, because she asked him to do it. She explains that even though, ultimately, he didn't know how to save her and Nanachi had to step in, she appreciates everything he did and how worried he was about her—she says the scar shows how much he wants to protect her. | |

In Commander in Chief, this is a hallmark of the marriage between President Mackenzie Allen and her husband Rod Calloway. Being President of the United States puts a lot of strain on a marriage, and reconciliations between the pair usually ended with (or happened during) one of these. More generally, any time the two turned to each other for comfort or support, this gesture usually occurred. | |

Parodied in Undying Happiness. In chapter 2, Keisuke gives his son Yusuke an affectionate headbutt while sending him off to swimming lessons. Since they both have a powerful Healing Factor and immunity to pain, they end up butting heads hard enough to draw blood, much to the annoyance of Keisuke's wife Naomi. | |

The Hobbit: In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, this was how Dwalin and Balin greet each other, although with dwarves, it's more of a full contact headbutting. A weary version occurs between them in Balin's flashback when they both discovered they survived the Battle of Azanulbizar, surrounded by a field of dead dwarves. In The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Thorin, after snapping out of his Gold Fever, shares a loving headbutt with Kili before going to battle. He also shares one with Dáin when they meet on the battlefield. |

Dexter: Dexter affectionately headbutts Rudy AKA his biological brother Brian before he kills him in Season One finale. It's a very poignant scene and emotions simply gush. It's very telling because Dexter claims he doesn't feel anything and has to pretend in every human interaction, but he definitely feels this moment deeply. Dexter's girlfriend Rita is an almost broken, extremely vulnerable woman because she was in an abusive relationship (her ex repeatedly raped her and beat her nearly to death). Once she gets more comfortable with touching and being touched again, she sometimes clutches her forehead on Dexter's to show her emotional support. |

The Vikings in Vikings often do this as an alternative to hugging. Ragnar and his family seem to be especially fond of it. A telling moment showing that Ivar, his psychopathic youngest son, has grown close to his father is the amount of times they touch heads while in England, including a final one as an alternative to a last hug when Ragnar tells Ivar he's going to be killed. | |

Seen in Code Black when Neal Hudson, an attending ER doctor, finds extremely depressed resident Christa Lorenson hidden in a supply closet after losing a patient who she'd wanted to keep at the hospital, but who the ER director had ordered her to discharge. Christa blames herself for not standing up to the director, and Neal — who quite plainly has mutual feelings for her — takes hold of her waist and touches his forehead to hers in order to help calm her down. This leads to their first kiss and subsequent relationship upgrade. | |

Appears a couple of times in Turning Red: In the temple, after telling the transformed Mei the story of Sun Yee and the red panda blessing, Ming tries to comfort her extremely distressed daughter by touching foreheads with her. It's a beautiful moment that demonstrates Ming's love for her daughter better than any other single moment in the whole film. On the astral plane, after Mei has decided to keep her panda, Sun Yee lifts Mei above the treetops while both are in panda form, and touches noses with Mei as a gesture of love and approval. |

Cursed Princess Club: Variation in Episode 26, when the Plaid Princes take the Pastel Princesses (and Pastel Prince Jamie) on a trip to an amusement park. As twin siblings Jamie and Gwendolyn start having a heart-to-heart about the latter's misgivings over her engagement to Frederick, Jamie affectionately nudges the side of his head (rather than his forehead) onto Gwen's. This is mainly because they and the others are walking, so they couldn't easily do the more typical forehead-to-forehead version. | |

The X-Files was a repeat offender, usually between Mulder and Scully. When one of them got out of the hospital (which was often), when one of them had to deal with Skinner/Krycek/CSM/any government representative, when they affirmed their trust in only each other, when one of them almost died (which was practically every episode)... they clutched their heads together. And it was awesome. UST at its best. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: A villain version occurs in Thor: The Dark World between Malekith and Algrim, when the latter shows his Undying Loyalty by becoming Kursed. In Captain Marvel, Talos presses his forehead against his wife and daughter's when he is reunited with them on Mar-Vell's ship. In Avengers: Endgame, Hawkeye and Black Widow share a platonic one before their fight on Vormir over which one of them will sacrifice themselves. Thor and Frigga also share one when they're reunited via Time Travel, after Frigga gives Thor some kind, soft, wise advice to help our God of Thunder get his fighting spirit back. In Black Widow, Natasha does this to Antonia after activating the gas to free her from her conditioning. Once she's sure Antonia is free, Natasha does it again as they lie on the ground. She also does it to Yelena after they escape Dreykov's ship and Natasha admits that their time as a family was real to her too. Eternals: Ikaris and Sersi do this several times over the course of their millennia-spanning romance. Makkari and Druig also share one after the final battle ends adding to the Ship Tease between them. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: This is a common gesture among Shang-Chi and his family. Pressing their foreheads together in affection is the last thing his mother does before she's killed defending their home from the Iron Gang. It's also the first thing his father does to him after they come face to face for the first time in ten years. Spider-Man: No Way Home: During the scene in the high school lab, Peter and MJ have a moment like this when they assure each other things will be fine and press their foreheads together. |

Karoosh the warrior in Far Cry Primal is fond of giving one of these to Takkar whenever he meets him. That said, being a Boisterous Bruiser, Karoosh's headbutts are surprisingly violent: the first time, he literally staggers Takkar, the second time, he knocks him over (though Takkar gets even with him by Karoosh by grabbing his ankles and pulling them out from under him). | |

Farscape: John and Aeryn engage in this, not just when either of them was in distress but when they showed affection in general. It was described by one reviewer as "more intimate than when they kiss". Subverted when Scorpius-possessed John does this gesture — then slams Aeryn's head into the wall, fracturing her skull. John and Chiana also get a few of these. Two notable examples are the season one finale when when propositions him (and he lets her down easy) and later in the following season when Chiana finds out her brother is alive but she isn't allowed to see him. |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Platonic example happens in episode "The Visitor" between Kira Nerys and Jake Sisko, with the former comforting the latter in an Alternate Timeline created by Benjamin Sisko getting stuck in subspace and being presumed dead. Odo tends to bump heads with his love interests, possibly because as a changeling he doesn't have an instinct towards kissing but does have an instinct towards physical closeness. |

Moana features prominently Hongi, the traditional Māori greeting of pressing one's nose and forehead to that of another person. Most notably, when Moana sings "Know Who You Are," she shares a hongi with Te Kaa, and this gesture of love calms the ferocious goddess. | |

In the second season finale of Game of Thrones, the warlocks of Qarth attempt to lure Daenerys with a vision of her dead husband and stillborn son in the House of the Undying. Daenerys walks out of the vision, but not before exchanging a HBOL with her dream husband, presumably because kissing him would tempt her into entering the fantasy permanently. | |

By the Sea: Similarly to the Maori hongi (the culture that Cody's canon actor originates from), the merfolk kiss is a press of foreheads, ostensibly because merfolk have a mouthful of sharp teeth that would make kissing uncomfortable or hazardous, and is called a keldabe in Mando'a, as in established Star Wars Legends canon. In a true showing of obliviousness, Obi-Wan had no idea (and also didn't dare let himself hope) that the weird forehead-press thing was supposed to be anything special, let alone a romantic gesture. | |

A platonic version between Brandon and Olive in Easy A, after their fake sex scene. (For context, Brandon's gay, and Olive has agreed to pretend to — loudly — sleep with him at a party so he can pass for straight and not get bullied.) It's a surprisingly tender and sweet moment, considering it comes at the tail-end of one of the funniest, most over-the-top scenes in the movie. | |

Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor has one with his archnemesis, the Master, in "The End of Time". Then the Master goes back to trying to kill him. It's very deliberately done to show that they could love each other if the Master wasn't stark raving mad. In "Flesh and Stone", the Eleventh Doctor and Amy have a sweet moment in the woods, as he asks her to trust him one more time and tells her to remember what he told her when she was seven. Which becomes an important plot point when the universe is rebooted in "The Big Bang". Rather endearingly, the Seventh Doctor headbutts Mel as they say farewell in "Dragonfire." At the end of "Revolution of the Daleks", Ryan and Graham choose to end their adventures and stay on Earth, while Yaz keeps travelling with the Doctor. The Fam then share a group HBOT before going their seperate ways. |

Done by Zero Two to Hiro in DARLING in the FRANXX when it looks like they're about to be separated. Zero Two has small horns and (deliberately) gives him a poke with them instead of holding the pose. The gesture is the final straw in Hiro realizing he doesn't give a crap how non-human Zero Two might be. They do it again much later, though this time Zero Two angles her head to hold the pose traditionally and rub her horns against Hiro's stubby new ones. And comes to a plot-relevant head when Hiro does it again in the final few episodes: those horns are psychic sensory organs. Touching them again let Hiro realize Zero Two's mind isn't even in her catatonic body anymore. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: When Willow tearfully asks, "Don't you love me?" Oz vows, "My whole life, I've never loved anything else," and gives her a textbook Headbutt of Love, complete with hug and kiss. Willow and Tara made use of this comforting technique often, mostly because of the WB's policy of no kissing between the same sex. Spike and Drusilla when they're first introduced, establishing Spike's protectiveness and Dru's fragility. |

On Stargate Atlantis, this was the standard gesture of affection or business dealings, somewhere between a handshake and a kiss, for natives of the Pegasus galaxy, particularly the Athosians. Sheppard picked it up, usually doing it with Teyla. | |

Kaiju Girl Caramelise: When Kuroe finds out that the red mark Arata has on his forehead came from getting smacked there by an actress's hat, she initially assumes the actress did a Headbutt of Love while wearing the hat. In reality, the actress, Seina, angrily hit Arata there out of anger for losing her spot on a talk show; there wasn't any affection involved at all. | |

Two army rangers headbutt after they have safely gotten back to base at the end of Black Hawk Down, presumably because they're too manly and too freaking tired to hug. If done while wearing helmets, this is known as "Turtle Fucking". | |

The Lion Guard Kion and Rani do it a few times as they realize they're in love. Also Kion and/or Kiara with their parents several times during the series A non-romantic one between Kion and Jasiri after they settle down and realize the pride lands aren't under attack. Kion thanks Jasiri and they share a friendly headbutt before parting ways. |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): "In Throes of Increasing Wonder...": Immediately after their First Kiss, Louis de Pointe du Lac and Lestat de Lioncourt press their foreheads together to maintain physical contact since their mouths are no longer touching. Although they're engaging in foreplay, this affectionate gesture stems from emotional intimacy, so it's understood that they're in love in addition to lusting after each other. "...After the Phantoms of Your Former Self": In the wide shot of Louis and Lestat exsanguinating the tenor together, Lestat leans towards his lover so that their foreheads are touching, and he reinforces their physical closeness by cradling the back of Louis' head. They're doing the vampire equivalent of Sweetheart Sipping, so Lestat is reassuring Louis that he adores him in spite of their bickering earlier. |

The Punisher (2017). In "Virtue of the Vicious", after an intense moment Frank Castle and Karen Page share one of these in the elevator, before Frank departs through the roof hatch. It's notable since in any other series the building tensions between a male and female lead would have resulted in The Big Damn Kiss but since Frank's character is driven by the memories of his dead wife and children, a kiss would be awkward to say the least. | |

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Suddenly Human," a human teenage boy is found to be the long-lost grandson of a Starfleet admiral, whose parents were killed in an ambush by Talarians, who were at war with the Federation. The boy, Jono, was adopted by one of the Talarian leaders and raised to be his son. When Jono’s adopted father boarded the Enterprise to reunite with him, the two touched foreheads in greeting. Later, when Jono prepares to beam off the Enterprise to rejoin his Talarian family, he bids Captain Picard, who he had developed a bond with during his time onboard, goodbye by removing his gloves and bringing Picard’s forehead to his own. | |
