Cole Brookstone X GNReader: Feel You

A/N: Cole X GNReader, set when Cole becomes a ghosty boy. I can't remember the season, it's been a real long time since I've seen it but I plan to rewatch the entire show. This isn't really much or good, I just wanted to write something quick for my boy. Enjoy!

___________________________________________________________________________

Cole had turned into a ghost, and while you weren't there for such a special occasion, you were there to deal with the aftermath once the Ninja returned to the Bounty.

It was obviously a complete surprise to you all, but in some way, it could have been way worse. Cole could barely look at you, too afraid to see what you might think of him in his new form.

You had known Cole for around 11 years, his father and your mother were friends from decades before, so hence you were near-enough brought up together. You both bonded right away, both hating dance as much as the other.

Cole made you laugh and sometimes cry, but you knew you could always count on him. The day he left was hard on you, his mother had passed away not even 24 hours ago and he had already left home. Sure, he returned just before the clock struck 11 pm, but he was different after that day.

And right now looking at Cole, standing in the sunlight, the other side of the Bounty visible through his skin; you saw the same expression from all those years ago. It hurt you to know he felt this way, and it wasn't by any means his fault either; he was just...too late.

But Master Wu had hope, he wouldn't give up until they could find a way to reverse the effects; you just hoped it would be sooner rather than later.

A few months have passed since the incident, and Cole's near enough back to normal...well personality-wise, he's still as ghostly as ever. But he's grown to be more comfortable with his new abilities, he actually embraces them.

The first time he went invisible, you screamed. You thought he had faded away, never to be seen again. But seconds later, he blipped back with a panicked expression, "Yo, (Y/N), chill! I'm still here, don't worry."

You wanted to punch his arm so badly, but you knew there was no point, "Don't scare me like that, I thought I lost you for a minute." you sighed, feeling your breathing returning to normal. Cole laughed, throwing his arm around you, "Please, you can't get rid of me that easily. I'm stuck to you like glue."

It wasn't the only time he used his powers to prank you or the others, a real trickster. You figured as long as he was happy, you were happy, even if it was driving you to the brink of insanity; just a little bit.

It wasn't that you didn't enjoy his pranks, heavens no, you just wished they weren't always on you. But you can't complain too much, seeing how much he's changed since he first got back onto the Bounty was heartwarming.

"Knock Knock." A voice sounded out from behind your bedroom door, while you were staying with the Ninja you shared Nya's room. She was, of course, bursting with excitement at the proposal and welcomed you with wide arms. The door remained closed but a figure came through the wood seconds later, Cole's figure floated further into the room, an apologetic frown on his face.

"Sorry to just intrude like that, I have to say 'knock, knock' cause you know, I can't knock on a door anymore." he frowned when the realisation hit him. You stood from your relaxed position on your bed, walking over to him with a small smile, "Hey, this wasn't your fault, you know that right?"

He shook his head, looking away from you again, "I can't help but feel like it is, if I was just a little faster-"

"Cole," you interrupted him, he turned to look at you. Even though you could see right through him, he was still the most beautiful person you'd ever seen. You so desperately wanted to reach your hand out and touch his cheek, but you restrained yourself from doing so, "Just-" you paused.

"Just give it time, yeah? Maybe this...form will be useful in the future." you tried to smile, tried to put on a positive front. But Cole could read you like a book, "I know you're just saying that to make me feel better, but- but what if we can't fix this? What if I'm stuck like this forever? I'll never be able to fight, never be able to play video games-" he gasped aloud, hands braced against his face, "Never be able to eat cake again!"

"Cole, you're being dramatic. Master Wu is doing everything he can, and you know the team and I won't quit either!"

"I know, and for the record, I appreciate it." He stopped again, staring into your eyes. His left hand moved from his side, hoovering close to your own. At first, all you felt was cold air. It was a strange feeling, you could physically see his hand against your own, but you couldn't feel it. You looked up to see Cole glaring at his hand, but if you knew Cole, which you did, you knew he wouldn't give up; especially if eating cake was on the line.

He closed his eyes, his brows furrowed in concentration as he tried so desperately to feel your hand against his own. And that's when it happened, a tingling sensation in the tips of his fingers. It was faint at first but gradually got stronger and stronger with every thought he had. Thoughts of holding you, trying to remember the feeling of your skin, the heat your palm provided.

And soon his hand felt warm, it felt warm and solid. He blinked his eyes open, looking at you first, seeing a huge smile beaming across your face. Gently, his eyes moved to your hands, seeing his ghostly green fingers wrap around yours.

He did it. He was holding you, and boy, did he wish he would never have to let go.

"Cole, you're doing it." you sounded so impressed with him, a straight shot to his ego. He puffed his chest out, knowing now there was a chance he could make a small dream of his work. You continued to stare at your interlocked hand, embracing the grip he had, the coldness he emitted.

Cole coughed, gaining your attention. It was weird, you had never seen him look so smug and yet so nervous at the same time "How long have we known each other for?" he all but whispered. You shrugged your shoulders, trying to downplay your answer, "I don't know, 11 years or something?"

"Hm," he hummed, nodding his head lightly. He flicked his gaze back to you, it was almost hypnotising, "I-I want to do something, but I don't know if I'll be rewarded or face consequences." he muttered out.

You were lost in his eyes, even though faded, they still shone as bright as ever, "Well, do the rewards outweigh the consequences?" you asked. He stood silent for a minute, giving you time to process how much closer you grew to him. You could faintly feel his ice-cold breath fanning across your face.

"The rewards heavily outweigh the consequences, but do I take the risk? What if the consequences outweigh the rewards? What if I thought wrong and-" you hoovered your finger above his lips, politely telling him to hush.

"Is it worth the risk?" you simply questioned, and Cole had made his mind up then. You were worth everything, if staying like this would keep you here with him, he'd remain a ghost for the rest of his life.

He nodded his head again, "Definitely." he affirmed. You gave him a sultry grin, "Then go for it," and that he did. He closed his eyes real hard and thought of your lips. He released the trap door and allowed all the thoughts of you to flood his mind. All the questions he'd ever have were out in his mind and powering his lips.

You couldn't believe what was happening, what was more crazy? The fact that Cole was kissing you or the fact that you could feel it? Whatever it was, you returned the sentiment and then some. Pulling away with a toothy grin you couldn't restrain yourself any longer. You hoovered your open palm along his cheeks, the cold feeling biting at your fingertips.

Cole released a sigh of contentment, "I know it's not a real kiss, but-"

"It's real enough for me," you beamed, causing the Earth Ninja to blush. You stayed like that for a few more minutes, just grasping at each other until a voice called for you, presumably Nya. When you separated, you left Cole with a kiss on the cheek and a promise to continue whatever it was you were doing later.

Yeeaaah, his green skin was looking a lot more red when you shut the bedroom door.
