Another really easy one. My favourite friendship is:
Gibbs and Ducky.
This is all written without my slash hat on, it is purely based on their friendship - and actually has been said by J as well as me and he wouldn't say something just to make me happy.
Their friendship is the pivotal and most important relationship on the show. Ducky is the one character the show could not lose (Gibbs being there is a given) because Gibbs needs someone with whom he is friends, whom he's known for a long time and who isn't a sub-ordinate. If Ducky wasn't there, TPTB would have to bring Fornell in more often, as he's the only other friend Gibbs has still alive.
Gibbs interacts with Ducky in a completely different way from how he interacts with any of the kids, even Abby. And it is important to the show that we see that different side of Gibbs and see that different interaction.
Their friendship is hard canon and we see evidence of it every week in small ways and in many episodes we've seen it in more than just small ways. They are extremely close friends, they are one another's closest friend.
And Gibbs has broken his own rule #06 - Never say you're sorry - with Ducky. Gibbs apologised to Ducky is 'Smoked' and not only that, also said that his rule didn't apply between friends.
It is a beautiful friendship, so real, so close, so tangible and so very important to the show.
