Natie

Natie is the het ship between Nate and Katie from the Yokai Watch fandom.

Anime
The first season of the anime begins with Nathan, Katie, and their friends trying to catch insects. Nate catches a stag beetle and shows it to Katie, which prompts her to say it's just like Nate, average. Nate looks for the most interesting insects to surprise Katie, when he finally finds a really interesting insect. He chases it until he reaches a strange machine that asks for food. He enters the world of the Yo-kai after putting a coin on the machine, then meets Whisper.

Throughout the first season, Nathan and Katie interacted on occasion, Nathan had claimed that he liked Katie, but Katie only saw him as a friend.

In the second season Nathan does not interact much with Katie, only a few times in which Katie was being spirited by some Yo-kai and Nathan was saving her.

Shadowside
This animation is set in an alternate timeline 30 years after, where both are aged 41 years old, are married, and have two children. The family seems happy throughout.

Manga
WakuWaku Nyanderful Days takes place in an alternate universe where Katie gets the Yo-kai Watch instead of Nate. After Katie receives the Yo-kai Watch, Whisper and Jibanyan walk with Katie to school and the three run into Nate. Whisper asks Katie if Nate is her boyfriend, which she denies. She says aloud that he's nice, but he's ordinary and it would be boring to go on a date with him. Nate hears Katie since she said it aloud and is shocked. At school, the two get strawberry milk during lunch.

When Katie realizes that Nate is being possessed by a Yo-kai, she does not hesitate to help him. Then he realizes that everyone was making fun of him and feels sorry for him, but Katie calms him down. After a beauty-obsessed Yo-kai comes to school, Katie gives the Yo-kai an aid to make him look better. Nate thinks Katie is cute and tells him, she just blushes and thanks him, showing that Nathan has a loving interest in her. In a short moment in the manga, Nate admits that he thinks Katie is the prettiest girl in school.

In chapter 9, Nate is seen helping Katie get ready, when she finishes getting ready, he compliments her.
