Okay, the first time I watched DS9 I was no fan of Kira/Odo - I hadn't been expecting it, and thought she could do better XD
But now I've rewatched most of the show, it's actually grown to be one of my favourite canon ships. And this line from Covenant just really got to me with how lovely it is:
[ID: 2 gifs of Odo talking to Kira in Quark's, saying "It's just that, uh, you spend so much time in services-"]
And I have to admit, I fully thought he was going to say something along the lines of "I wish you would spend that time with me". BUT NO. I should have trusted you Odo, because he actually says:
[ID: same scene, Odo says, "that sometimes it makes me wish I were a believer, so that we could go together."]
And like, there's just so many layers of his care for her??
He's saying, "I want to spend more time with you, even if it's in a space where it wouldn't be about spending time together, just because I like being near you."
And also, "If I could, I'd give up my own time, just to be in the same place you've chosen to be."
But despite wanting to, he won't, because there's also an unspoken element of "I respect your beliefs and wouldn't want to intrude on them without having the same belief."
[ID: First GIF is of Ezri saying "That really is so sweet," while Julian nods in the background. Second GIF is of Kira looking at Odo and smiling/laughing.]
Ezri's reaction is spot-on, and as always, Kira's smile is everything.

I am not during my rewatch sure if I ship Kira and Odo or not. But I do find their relationship much more interesting this time around. Not from a romantic point of view. Just I find the dynamic interesting and the history between the two.
