Fan Casting Platonic Declaration of Love in Sort by Tropes

True Companions are very important to most heroes. After overcoming many obstacles and growing closer, one character might tell another (usually same-sex but doesn't need to be, and can also be directed towards a small group of characters) they love them (sometimes dramatically, sometimes nonchalantly). They usually don't need to elaborate because the meaning is clear. Their friendship is strong to the point that it can be described as a type of love. The most important thing is that there is no romantic suggestion between the two characters (at least at this point in the series). This can also happen between family, who are expected by nature to have platonic love for each other.
