The number of fics where Gibbs turns into this gushy, romanticist with Tony is pretty astounding. Gibbs can't even do that with a woman he's dating. He's sure as hell not going to do it with Tony.

I just thought of something. Gibbs *does* do romantic, but he does it in his own very Gibbsian way. Remember when he was fixing Mann's plumbing? *That's* romance, Gibbs style. :-)
