Summary: Gibbs tries to fix things.
Gibbs frowned as he watched Buffy pick at her food. She had been uncharacteristically quiet all evening, which meant little had been said period.

It never failed to amaze him that as good as he was at reading suspects; he was horrible at reading the woman he was dating. Some sort of mental block went up and as of yet he couldn’t find a way around it. But he was certain that something was wrong, and more than likely it was something he had done.

“So what’s wrong?” He finally asked.

“Huh?”

“What’s wrong?” He repeated.

She blinked up at him. “What makes you think " “

“Because you’ve been acting strange ever since… Did DiNozzo say something to you?”

Her gaze dropped back to her dinner.

“What did he do?” He asked with a sigh.

“Just pointed out that I’m not a redhead.”

“What does that have to" “

“Because your exes all were, and they’re your favorite.”

“And obviously that’s not working for me since they’re all exes,” Gibbs said dryly. “And it’s more the personality that’s associated with the hair color that attracts me. Something you have in spades.”

Her shy smile told him he did something right.
