The bandicoot didn’t know when their dynamic had changed, but they had become more affectionate. Little touches here and there, cuddling and seemingly always touching in some way or another. This was definitely an untouched area for her and she didn’t really know what to make off it. It wasn’t bad in any way just different.
She knew for a fact that they were friends, that she knew. But was this right here what friends did? Or was it something else? The lines were blurred and with her inexperience she didn’t really pick up on exactly what it is. These thoughts fill her mind as she was pressed against her former rival and now dear friend for a sleepover and movie marathon.
While she she knew of the other girls preference she doesn’t even fathom the idea that she likes her. To the Bandicoot she was a friend, a companion at one point, but now? Hell she doesn’t know.
‘Hey thanks for inviting me Nina. What movie have you got planned for us?‘
“I was thinking Pirates of the Caribbean, with audio description of course.”
Nina smiled and wrapped her arm around Coco, lightly resting her head against the other girl’s shoulder. These days, the gothic scientist was spending more time than ever with Coco, and she seemed happier than ever for it.
Perhaps this will be the day, Nina thinks to herself as she looks at other girl. Perhaps this is the day I tell her how I really feel...
However, she quickly snaps out of it and turns her attention back to the TV, flipping over to the movie on the streaming box and going into the settings to toggle the audio description on.
Don’t be an idiot Nina! What if she doesn’t feel the same? What if she reacts badly to it? You’ll ruin a perfectly nice evening, and possibly the best friendship you’ve ever had.
“So, um... that sound okay to you?”
