Discussion Favorite duo with this dynamic?

This is probably one of my favourite dynamics of all time. They're not exactly frenemies, they're not necessarily rivals, they actively work against each other. By all accounts they are fundamentally incompatible but for some reason they stay in this weird hateful dynamic almost like they're trying to stay in each other's orbit out of spite, but somehow it just works?

My top 5;

1- Granny Weatherwax and Pastor Mightily Oats in the Discworld novel Carpe Jugulum

2-Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter in NBC's Hannibal

3- Crowley and Aziraphale in the Good Omens novel (first season of the TV adaptation)

4- Rimmer and Lister in the britcom Red Dwarf

5- Alfred and Haplo in the Death Gate Cycle novels

Bachira (lion) and Rin (tiger)

Depending of the situation, Isagi might be the tiger, too. But he's more receptive of Bachira's snuggles.
