Age Gap Relationship with Gibbs Headcanons

Let me start here - I know for a fact that he would get over it eventually.

However, I do think there will be some moments where he shows his vulnerability and his insecurity throughout the early stages of the relationship - especially if you are not on his team or remotely aware of what NCIS does on a day to day basis.

He's lost a lot of people in his life, he's got experience, and he doesn't usually let a lot of people in.

So when he started taking interest in somebody like you, young, full of energy, and is not related to any of his work, he would get scared.

Trust me, he'd be so interested in what you have to offer. Your hobbies, your interest, your job and what it entails. Anything you have to say, he will listen and take interest in.

However, I feel like he would have a thought in the back of his head, "what if y/n finds somebody better?" (little does he know, he's the best person for you.)

He'd never really vocalize it until one day, you find him a bit more melancholy than usual.

He had just had a tiring day at work, and McGee might have mentioned that a lot of relationships with big age gaps are harder to navigate. Of course, unaware of his boss's relationship status.

On the drive back to his place, he'd just been replaying what McGee said in the bullpen, over and over again.

So when you greet him at the door with his hoodie over you, smiling, all he can do is return a weak smile back.

You ask him what's wrong, and all he would say is it's really nothing, but eventually you'd actually sit him down and start questioning - he'd start slowly.

"I don't know, y/n. You have so much more potential, I know that," he'd start. Going on and on about how what if, just what if you find someone in your age range, so much more interesting (and with less probability to get into serious accidents at work) All you do is stare back.

Jesus, you need him to just stop talking, so you just crash your lips into his. The kiss slowly turns passionate, and when you separate reluctantly for air, you say to him, "Is this enough?"

He'd just laugh and nod, and you guys go to bed cuddling. He'd start opening up a little bit more about his feelings.

"You know, you are pretty good at questioning. You interested in joining my team?" Gibbs would jokingly ask.

Slowly falling asleep, you would reply, "I don't think I can work while I have a man I love around."

The last part would drive Gibbs absolutely nuts.

Let's just say he wouldn't get any sleep that night.

Bend the Line Don’t Break It

Chapter 2: Testing Waters

The next few days blurred together in a haze of case files, endless cups of coffee, and long hours spent with Gibbs hovering nearby. You had to admit, there was something magnetic about him, something that made your usual confidence falter just a little. But you weren’t about to let that show. Not yet.

It wasn’t that Gibbs was overtly flirtatious, far from it. But there was an arrogance to the way he carried himself, a smug confidence in every little thing he did. His chuckles were rare, his smiles even rarer—but when they did appear, they were always followed by a sharp remark, like a challenge you couldn’t quite ignore.

One afternoon, you were huddled over a set of encrypted files when Gibbs appeared in the doorway, leaning against the frame. You didn’t even look up, but you could feel his eyes on you, like a weight pressing against your shoulders.

“Need a hand with that?” His voice was rough, teasing in a way that irritated you.

You looked up at him, arching an eyebrow. “I’ve got it.”

He gave you a slow smile, the kind that seemed to say he didn’t believe you. “Don’t make me have to step in,” he said, his tone laced with challenge.

You resisted the urge to snap back. It wasn’t that you were intimidated no, it was that there was something about Gibbs’ unspoken authority, his quiet dominance, that left you off-balance.

And you hated it.

“I’m not some rookie you have to babysit,” you shot back, trying to ignore the flutter of nerves in your chest. “I can handle my own cases, thank you.”

Gibbs didn’t respond right away. Instead, he walked around the desk to stand just behind you, looking over your shoulder at the screen. His proximity made you uncomfortably aware of how close he was, how his presence seemed to fill the After looking at your code for a second he chimes in with a,

“Look, There’s a pattern. This isn’t just a hack it’s targeted. And whoever did it isn’t using the usual backdoor methods. It’s sophisticated.”

His breath was warm against the back of your neck as he leaned in slightly.

“How much did you pay McGee to mirror my computer and give you that line” you say feeling almost as if you just called check in a game of chess. “Because that is advanced code” you point to your computer, “and last week I saw you hit your computer when you couldn’t forward an email”

He slightly smiles before mummering, “clearly not what it was worth”, his voice low and almost too close for comfort.

You tried to ignore the little shiver that ran down your spine.

Gibbs chuckled softly, the sound dark and knowing.

He left you sitting there, eyes still fixed on the screen, but your thoughts well, they were on him, and whatever that just was?

Having a Not-So-Secret Crush on Gibbs Headcanons

I feel like you always thought Gibbs was... something else, but you started developing feelings as you work alongside Abby. The way he'd saunter in your lab, compliment you, occasional light hugs, everything. The man's got charm!

You would blush here and there but would try to keep calm. You had to keep this a secret, and you knew this wasn't going to work out - Rule number 12.

But of course Abby being the one you work with the most, she would find out and make fun of you constantly.

The little nudges whenever Gibbs walks in, slight glances she gives you, and going "Here's your man," It's literally anything and everything.

Gibbs wouldn't pay much attention to it but would be smiling. But his smiles are so cryptic, so mysterious that you don't really know what it actually meant.

Tony would catch on to your difference in attitude and make fun of you for the same things, but would be more... let's say, expressive.

It's not subtlety he's known for, is he?

He is honestly constantly making remarks about how Gibbs is so charming, a Silver Fox, whatever.

"Y/N, when are you going to ask him? Seriously, you with this pining attitude, it's like a little puppy wanting a treat."

"Get to work, DiNozzo, stop being rude to Y/N."

Gibbs would say, but wouldn't make any remarks of it on his own - this.... may or may not drive you crazy.

Ziva would sometimes say, "come on, Y/N, what's so difficult? Just go ahead, ask him."

McGee wouldn't partake in it as much, but would still sometimes make remarks about your crush with Tony - and he would be the only person that you would be able to retaliate.

But again, in the midst of all this, there sat Leroy Jethro Gibbs, not reacting to anything. Just, watching.

One day, after you all have wrapped a case and finally after everyone making fun of you for this crush the entire time, you work up the courage to go to Gibbs and ask, "Gibbs, do you, um, maybe, no, would you, like to... go out to dinner?"

"Sure. I know a place," he'd answer, not even looking up from his monitor.

You smile widely and then set a time, and just when proceed to walk over to the elevator, you would hear him say, "Just had to ask, Y/L/N."

Going Shopping with Gibbs while Dating Headcanons

We all know that Gibbs would hate to go shopping, right?

But I feel like he'd do anything with you. He loves to see you all excited and happy.

So when you mention shopping, he groans a little at the thought of walking around and making decisions on things he knows and cares little about.

You would say you could give him a couple of more outfits, and maybe, just maybe, a new outfit for you in the bedroom.

He'd smile a little at the last thing you said, and then grab his car keys.

You are definitely his passenger princess - although your driving... might be safer.

You get to the mall, grab a little drink first, and you... are set free.

He'd say he's never seen you this fast and focused. (He's joking, he's seen you at work.)

You would laugh, and start picking out clothes for him. Maybe put them against him, and deciding whether it looks good or not. (All of it looks good on him.)

Asking him to go try things on would be.... an argument on its own. But for you, he would go.

You would love to tease him like that, asking him to turn, asking him to pose, "I'm, not, posing, y/n."

After multiple bags in his hands, you finally go to the only store he hasn't objected to go.... you know where.

He'd start picking out things for you, expecting a whole fashion show when you guys get home, and a little more.

You guys are almost done shopping when you run into the one and only DiNozzo.

“Oh, boss, oh, y/n,” he’d say, and then look down at the bags Gibbs is holding, and he’d get flustered then cough.

“Happy shopping, then,” DiNozzo would say and quickly leave. You laugh, and head home.

Gibbs would hang everything up and then give you the bag with, you know what, signaling you go try them on.

The rest? Only you and him would know.
