Gibbs/Kate is my OTP/One True Pairing/since the very first ep.mostly because I prefer more mature relationships-I like the an-explicit flirting:the looks exchanges, a smile, a little touch,the complicity...and I like also the fact that Gibbs was Kate's mentor, sometimes he's also harsh with her (Heart break),nothing is so clear or evident and,because of that, it's more interesting and more deeper:D I think Gibbs/Kate relationship is a lot more deep and meaningful than the relationship Kate had with ay other male character.
Why I Ship These Characters:Like a friend of mine said once,when I asked her that question
"Well, I'm a sucker for May/December romance, as well as superior/subordinate. And the UST between Gibbs and Kate was obvious from the first episode. But there's no way I could enjoy this 'ship as much as I do if Kate wasn't a strong female lead. That's what Gibbs needs, I think--a woman who won't back down from a fight...woman, who has a brain AND a body ,but also won't try to brain him with a baseball bat and/or a nine-iron (as ex-wives numbers two and three attempted)."
Reason number one I ship these characters:
The staring. There have been hundreds of intense looks between Gibbs and Kate. That's what DPB did with Harm and Mac(JAG) for years - lots of stares.
Most of the viewers can not understand the attraction of a younger woman for an older man like Gibbs. I just remember the chemistry I saw in 'Yankee White' and I loved it! Yes, he is older than Kate,but for some reason that doesn't bug me at all.I don't have problem with older man/younger woman love reletionship.I prefer more mature relationships like Gibbs/Kate.The ones who see G/K are the ones who realize attraction doesn't ask to see your ID. Personally, I can't imagine working for or with Gibbs and not having a huge crush on him, so it would be natural if Kate would.
Based on their interaction in "Yankee White", I don't think Gibbs feelings toward Kate were anything close to fatherly. After all, she's definitely a strong-willed woman,something I imagine all his women have been.I think Kate and Gibbs saw something in each other when they first met on Air Force One.After he hired her, her admiration for him grew. It's clear she tried to impress him with her investigative skills .I can easily believe that Kate feels an attraction to Gibbs (like who wouldn't?) He may feel something, too, but I think he'd be better at hiding - or ignoring - it. She would try to hide it, but find herself staring, or sketching, or something. how Gibbs would handle Kate's attraction - I think probably the same way Grissom in CSI handle's Sara's fancy for him - trying to pretend its not there, and that he doesnt feel the same due to some silly belief that the work is more important. Before Kate died, I saw a lot of subtext with her and Gibbs. I could see a women like Kate catching Gibbs and keeping him. And Kate can learn from him through not only the job, but life.They make each other 'whole' in some way.
In S1 and especially 1.01 "YW" when she wasn’t his agent, Gibbs was definitely flirting.There was something between them since they first met on Air Force One, a spark that even DPB tried to diffuse (using the mysterious redhead-DPB ,after 1.01"YW" ,said,that he loved the tension between Gibbs and Kate ,but he didn't want Unresolved Sexual Tension on this show, that's why he tried to diffuse the spark between them- he added the mysterious red head to prevent the tension between Kate and Gibbs.
Kate is perfect for Gibbs because she breaks the mold. I think that she's fascinated by him and I think that he's equally fascinated by her.Who else could call Gibbs a 'gloomy gus' and get away with it? Who could spill his coffee/"Sub Rosa"/ and still get what she wants?This ship had the potential to be perfect, but it didn't happen. I think neither of them wanted to give into their hearts.Both Kate and Gibbs were understandably wary of coworker relationships Gibbs had his problems with Jen/his partner and ex-lover/; Kate had her thing with Major Kerry/her college and lover/. Neither was about to make a move, especially within only two years of knowing one another. Gibbs' true feelings about Kate are known only to him and Kate's caricature of Gibbs remains a mystery. Kate respected Gibbs more than she did Tony, though, and he respected her more than Tony did.
I think that Gibbs and Kate's scenes and interaction are much more subtle in comparision to any other couple's scenes and interaction in S2.Personally i think there is more going for a Kate/Gbbs relationship than there is for any other relationship in S1&2.I also think that Gibbs after three divorces would know when to compromise and his personality is more similar to Kate's than any other male character and Gibbs and Kate are more serious although they both have a softer side.
I noticed during the first season and it has continued into the second season that despite the fact Gibbs has come across as a bit more stern and harsh with Kate opposed to the other characters that he probably doesn't act this way for no reason. I've also noticed that both Sasha and Mark have been asked in different interviews about a possible Gibbs/Kate romance.
I beleve that Gibbs liked Kate a lot"-remember his amused tolerance of her faults and ingorance of all things naval,that feeling that no matter what,he was always make shure she was OK , that sence that he is torn between professional respect and a chivalrous,old fashioned need to take care of her as well as the occasional urge to throttle her.Maybe he had feelings for her,but can't/won't recognize them because she is so different from his usual kind of woman.Without Kate in the picture,i fear we will never again see that side of Gibbs that her character brought out.
