The Romance-Inducing Smudge is any kind of smudge, stain, or blotch that causes one character to help clean it off of another, which leads to a romantic moment between the two. This serves as an excuse for the characters involved to get closer together than they otherwise normally would, and the ostensibly innocent touching involved is almost sure to increase romantic tension for the pair. Often used as a form of Ship Tease. Compare with You Taste Delicious, when one character decides to lick a smudge off of another, and with Finger-Suck Healing. Examples:

  • The Romance-Inducing Smudge is any kind of smudge, stain, or blotch that causes one character to help clean it off of another, which leads to a romantic moment between the two. This serves as an excuse for the characters involved to get closer together than they otherwise normally would, and the ostensibly innocent touching involved is almost sure to increase romantic tension for the pair. The stain need not be food related, though this is frequently the case. Similarly, the offending smudge need not be limited to an individual's face: a stain on their clothing that a potential object of affection must rub out can work perfectly well for this purpose, among other things. If both people involved catch on to the mood of the scene, this can lead to a First Kiss between them. It is not uncommon, however, for the pair to be interrupted at the last second by someone else barging in or by one of the characters losing their nerve. Either way, this can work as a sign that one or both characters have feelings for the other, or serve as more fuel for the Will They or Won't They? fire. Often used as a form of Ship Tease.
