A typical takeoff on an airliner looks something like this - the pilot-flying (PF) lines up their jet on a runway, and the pilot-monitoring (PM) receives clearance from the tower controller to depart. The PF advances the throttles slowly and checks the engine gauges to ensure that both motors are stable.
