When Alice and Bob both Cannot Spit It Out or have had an Unresolved Sexual Tension for a long time, occasionally fate helps a little by making one of them trip for some reason (often a fight) and fall on the other. They may both lose their footing and fall to the ground, or the standing one might brace the impact against a wall. Either way, awk-ward. In some cases, they will separate and apologize, or Alice will scream and slap Bob, calling him a pervert. But if this trope is in action, neither will happen. By the magic (and surprise) of their sudden proximity, they will fall silent. They'll look intensely into each other's eyes, forgetting their fight entirely. Everything around them will fade, and their lips will slowly get closer, before locking into a True Love's Kiss. If there is no immediate kiss, it will at least be a Near Kiss, and probably an Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other moment. Compare Crash-Into Hello, which has little chance to result in a kiss for obvious reasons. A Sister Trope to the less romantic and more comic Suggestive Collision, which can result in Marshmallow Hell or Thanks for the Mammary but is much less likely to end well. Compare Meet Cute, which introduces a future relationship between two characters. Also see the logical conclusion, Official Couple. Also a Sub-Trope of Rule of Romantic. Compare to Failures on Ice. Not to be confused with Free-Fall Romance. Examples |

My Monster Secret: Akane tries to make use of this trope when Youko and Asahi are locked in the former's room by sending a sleepy Youko onto Asahi with a spring, or literally tilting the entire house so that they fall on each other. All her efforts are in vain. | |

The Lion King (1994) does this during the "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" montage with Simba and Nala accidentally tumbling down a hill together while playfully wrestling together. Simba ends up pinning Nala (the only time he has ever done so) and she "rewards" him with a surprise lick on the cheek before the two gaze into each other's eyes lovingly and nuzzle together. | |

Batwoman (2019). The Near Kiss version occurs in the pilot episode when Kate Kane (disguised in her batsuit) grabs her former lesbian love interest Sophie Moore as she's falling from a building and breaks her fall with her cape. They crash into a foreman's trailer and end up on a bed, their faces inches from each other. | |

This happens to Erza and Jellal in Fairy Tail. Although it's unclear whether they actually kissed or not, with the anime opting to show it as an Almost Kiss, it's the first time they express their mutual love so clearly. | |

Doctor Who. One of the Ship Tease moments between the Thirteenth Doctor and her companion Yasmin Khan is in the Action Prologue of "The Halloween Apocalypse" where after escaping the usual inescapable Death Trap they fall into the open doors of the TARDIS, bounce off a trampoline which throws them onto a mattress where they lie on their backs next to each other, breathing heavily. | |

In Katawa Shoujo, Emi's route has this three times. First, Emi crashes into Hisao while running in the hallways — their first meeting. Second, Hisao and Emi have a pillow fight which ends with him on top of her in bed, and his inner monologue comes to realize he has feelings for her. Finally, after they've started dating, the same thing happens again, but with Emi straddling Hisao, which escalates into a relationship-solidifying h-scene. | |
