Bell&Doyle from the Murder Rooms book trilogy
There is a scene in the end of the third book (a major spoiler, but a rather predictable one) where Doyle is under the impression that Bell is dead. He receives a note from Bell that hints pretty heavily at Bell's intending to confront Cream and try to throw him off a cliff. Doyle, all anxiety, runs to get his coat from his room only to be met by Cream who's sitting there with Bell's cane in his hands. Doyle instantly goes into the killer mode and is feverishly trying to work out how to hit Cream with a candelabra. His inner monologue is all about reaching this candelabra and hitting Cream with it; though he says that he noticed the cane, he says absolutely nothing about the implications of Cream's holding it. It's as if he's actively trying not to think of what might have happened to Bell.
Then, Cream informs him that he has murdered Bell. The first thing Doyle does is try to disbelieve Cream's claim. He literally says that "the words were horrible and I wanted to disbelieve them", but then he kind of convinces himself that Cream is telling the truth, after which he fights Cream, who pours the room with kerosene in the process, sETS HIM ON FIRE AND LEAVES HIM TO DIE.
Having burnt Cream alive, he, himself severely burnt and apparently in deep shock, takes his coat and goes out into the tempest and towards the cliff from which Cream had presumably thrown Bell. The weather is awful, it's a literal storm, he's wet to the bone and in much pain. He reaches the cliff, risks his life to approach the edge (EVEN THOUGH HE'S SURE THAT BELL IS DEAD), sees Bell and starts weeping like nobody's business.
Then he risks his life again to retrieve what he supposes is Bell's dead body only to discover that Bell is, in fact, alive. After which he says that he is "overjoyed" and constantly mentions that he's worried about Bell and asks Bell multiple times if it wouldn't be better if he just waited for Doyle to get help instead of tiring himself by walking.
the whole thing is just.
ETA: oh and the first thing he does upon approaching Bell's "corpse" is take his coat off in order to cover Bell with it
