AN: This entire thing is in ghost language, which became a huge thing on tumblr after someone(can't remember who) figured that Danny might, as a ghost, speak a whole other language without realizing it, at least until someone points it out. I figured that Norman might suffer from the same thing.~


"So...I've been saying everything in a different language all this time, without even realizing?"

"Yep. I know, pretty bizarre, especially when it leaks into the rest of your life. Can't tell you how much trouble I've gotten in for handing in assignments entirely in ghost speak."

"Wait, is that normal? Am I going to start doing it too?!"

"Well...it kind of depends. I mean, I'm part-ghost, so maybe it just affects me a lot more because it's ingrained in my subconscious. That's what Jazz thinks, anyway. But as long as you have someone who can call you out on it, you should be fine. ...by the way, what's with the shiner, kiddo? Trouble with Alvin again?"

"..."

"It's okay. You don't have to tell me."

"It's just... does it ever get better?"

"...No. Not really. But now that you have people to confide in, it'll get easier to deal with. Just...just make sure not to push your friends away, Norman. Being like this is hard enough, but going it alone? I don't even want to imagine."

"Okay. Hey, can you show me that ice thing again? I've always wanted to make a snowman in the middle of summer, just to see the look on people's faces."

"Heh, sure."


I just really love the idea of Danny playing big brother figure to Norman, since they're both ostracized for their connection to ghosts. Hope you enjoyed!~
