Bob and Alice have been spending a lot of time together, causing people to comment on their relationship but so far nothing has resulted from it. Often though, they will find themselves gazing deeply into each other's eyes, one indication of their UST. This can often precede an Almost Kiss, as this is usually what is happening before that. If this is an extremely intense gaze into the other's eyes, this might be an indication that a Big Damn Kiss is on the horizon. It can also be a platonic look between two friends. There are four versions of this held gaze, depending on the atmosphere of the story: Romantic: This will appear at least once, accompanied by some passion on one (or both) of the partners in the gaze, hence it fits into the passionate look variant of the trope. Platonic: Two friends will hold each other's gaze meaningfully to either encourage the other or to just let them know that they are there for them. Antagonistic: If the two of them are rivals or enemies, however, this becomes a classic staredown, with both characters trying their level best to out-intimidate the other. Supernatural: A shared gaze where souls gaze into the other person's soul, all at once having a deeper experience than the other two versions mentioned above can have. A Sister Trope of Almost Kiss, as this commonly happens before the kiss. Sometimes precedes a Big Damn Kiss. A subtrope of Longing Look, but different in that it is just two people holding each other's gazes. It naturally tends to happen when two lovers Literally Fall In Love. Compare Staring Contest. May also be a Meaningful Look. |

David Eddings exaggerates this, like every other trope he gets his hands on, in the Belgariad prequel novels. When Riva meets his betrothed, Beldaran, they do nothing but stare at each other for hours. It's implied they do almost nothing else until they are finally married, after which they presumably get over it eventually as they have a child at some point. Polgara notes that she's seen this numerous times and it's usually a sign that their marriage was arranged by Fate. | |

The Super Mario Bros. Movie: Of the romantic variety - Mario and Peach give each other these at several points in the film, like their first time meeting, before Mario nearly completes the training course, their time in the fire flower field, after Mario defeats DK, and briefly as they're holding hands before Bowser broke free of the ice at his crashed wedding. We get a familial example when Mario rescues and finally reuinites with Luigi, where he breaks their hug for a few moments to hold his face against his and look him reassuringly in the eyes. |

In "The Lady, or the Tiger?", the doomed lover and his princess do this when he enters the arena to face a fatal Door Roulette. In the brief moment they look at each other, he sees that she knows which is the safe door and she sees him asking her which one to open. She gives him a secret sign... but the narrator doesn't tell us whether the door she indicated actually was the safe one. | |

In Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files, Harry even has a name for this—the Soulgaze, where two people catch a glimpse of each other's souls because they share a gaze. This is a Lampshade Hanging, as Harry is typically Genre Savvy about most things—including Real Life Shared Gaze, though in the context of The Dresden Files, it is much more supernatural than the actual trope suggests, but Harry does mention the Real Life variant. Also becomes an Enforced Trope, as soulgazes only work once, so Dresden is perfectly comfortable meeting the eyes of people he's trusted enough to share a mutual glimpse of their souls with. (And Marcone.) |

Sonic Adventure 2 had an instance, believe it or not. After a boss fight between Knuckles the Echidna and Rouge the Bat, the latter is about to slip off a beam into a fiery death. Knuckles manages to save her. Their gaze lasts only a few moments before Rouge roughly pulls her hand away to save face. Sonic Rush also had a moment at the very end of the game where Sonic and Blaze gaze at each other and try to stop themselves from being pulled back into their dimensions. This goes on for more than a few seconds. |

One with Mai and Zuko in the Boiling Rock episodes after being forced to lock the cell door on her (this one is more of deep hurt though), one with Suki and Sokka on the Serpent's Pass leading to an Almost Kiss. Finally, there's one between Aang and Katara which leads to The Big Damn Kiss and end of the series. | |

Couples on Phineas and Ferb often employ this trope for Ship Tease. For instance, Ferb and Vanessa share one when he first meets her, and Phineas and Isabella have also held each other's gaze - most notably in the special Summer Belongs to You!, when they are stranded on the island, and in "Act Your Age," when they become a couple. | |

The Beetlejuice episode "Prince Of The Neitherworld" has lugubrious royalty Prince Vince do this when he first sets eyes on Lydia. He's absolutely smitten by her—Lydia is rather disinterested but still cordial to him. | |

A heartbreaking one in Star Wars Rebels. Having been blinded in an earlier mission, Kanan later uses the Force to hold back a giant fireball that endangers the life of his two surrogate children and the woman he loves, all of whom are trying to escape on a carrier. In his final moment he turns back to look at Hera, and his milky eyes clear — letting them truly see each other just before he Force-pushes the carrier away and is consumed by fire. | |

Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book references the direct gaze that when an animal views it, it signals a threat, and it comes into play during the wolf-pack meeting at the beginning when Mowgli is allowed into the pack. His ingenuous, even gaze is unsettling to the animals gathered when he looks at them, meeting their gaze for only a few seconds, as most look away quickly except for ones like Bagheera, who knows something of the ways of men. | |

In She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Hordak holds the gaze of two people. In "Huntara" and "Failsafe", he shares a held gaze with Entrapta, the woman he loves. At the end of "Heart, Part 2", he shares a held gaze with She-Ra after she exorcises Horde Prime's spirit from his body and he remembers the moment he rescued her as a baby. | |

Aladdin: Aladdin and Jasmine share one Held Gaze early on in the movie with a sunset behind them, leading to an Almost Kiss. They do this again later on after their carpet ride, but this time it leads to a Hollywood Kiss. | |

In Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, Spirit and Rain have a deep gaze into each other's eyes under a tree. Spirit also does this with Little Creek at least once. | |

The Legend of Korra: Mako and Korra share several of these throughout Book One, with arguably the most conventional example nearly ending in an Almost Kiss in the two-part season finale. They do get The Big Damn Kiss, but it comes a bit later, once much of the underlying drama has been resolved. In the final scene of the entire series, after an entire season's worth of Ship Tease and nudges, Korra and Asami Sato, of all people, share one of these—complete with holding hands whilst facing one another—as they're teleported into the Spirit World by Republic City's newly-created Spirit Portal. |

Done by Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow of Take That in the video for their duet "Shame", where they lock eyes from across a crowded room while both slowdancing with anonymous women. And somehow, it's not even the most homoerotic part of the video. | |

In Miitopia, when two Miis' reach relationship levels 2-5, they will nod their heads and look over at each other, though it's more of a friendly kind rather than seductive. When their relationship goes much higher, they do this much more obviously, gazing shalemessly at each other with heart eyes, all while floating in midair and spinning. | |

Kick Buttowski had this going on with Kick and Kendall, complete with Kick leaning her backwards and complimenting one another. However, the trance was broken when a kid off screen shouted that he should kiss her. | |

ElfQuest has a specific name for this trope—Recognition (which is practically a Lampshade Hanging of sorts for the supernatural version of the trope). "Soul meets soul when eyes meet eyes"; which is a powerful biological urge to mate that pretty much guarantees healthy, gifted children. | |
