"Wait," he said, stepping back right before they kissed. White rings flashed up and down, and where Phantom once stood, Fenton stood instead. He scooped the Goth girl up in his arms and kisses her, pulling back when he feels that familiar, tight lipped expression when she wore when was upset with him. Sure enough, he had it, and he cringed, asking, "What did I do?"
"Why'd you change?" she said, eyes narrowing, arms crossing over her chest.
"What's wrong with that?"
"I don't think there's anything wrong with it." She arched an eyebrow. "Clearly, you do."
He groaned, stepping back. "Explain."
She did, knowing that it would take years for him to understand if she didn't. "I love Danny, Fenton and Phantom. You're the same to me. I don't care if you're Phantom and you come back from a battle and kiss me, or if you're Fenton coming back from a test and you kiss me."
He crossed his arms. "I know that."
"So why can't I kiss Phantom?"
He opened his mouth for a hot retort, then closed it, wondering. After a few second passed under his girlfriend's terrifyingly piercing gaze, he said shyly, "Isn't kissing a ghost weird?"
She gestured to her outfit and promised, "I can deal with weird."
"Yeah, but, this isn't Goth weird. This is ghost weird." He shifted uncomfrotably. I could go intangible and crawl inside your head or something. Doesn't that freak you out?"
"Danny, the only problem with you as a ghost is that you get a little chilly." She took his hands in hers, pressing it against her chest so hard her could feel her heartbeat throbbing under it. "The ghost part of you is real, and here, and usually solid. It's part of you and I accept it, I love it."
"But I…I can go intangible," he stuttered.
She grinned, stepping forward to kiss his nose lightly. "I think we've got enough substance between us to make up for it.
I hope you enjoyed, everyone! :)
