Bandicute (Coco Bandicoot X Male Reader Oneshot) [Lemon]

You've had feelings for Coco since the day you first met her. You were overseas touring N. Sanity Island when you stumbled across her testing a new experiment on the beach. Your curiosity was peaked and she didn't seem to mind the companionship so you two got to chatting. Hours upon hours were spent on the sandy dune talking, laughing, and enjoying each other's company. You hit it off really well and from that day forward you and Coco have been practically inseparable. She was smart, funny, cute, cheerf-

"Hello, Earth to (Y/N)," came a voice, snapping you back to reality.

You looked and saw Coco Bandicoot staring back, wearing her signature overalls and a curious look on her face.

"Deep in thought?"

"Just some old memories," you said with a slight blush. "Anyway what's on the agenda for today," you said quickly, trying to change the subject.

"First, as per usual we'll be having our weekly gaming competition. After that I need some help gathering Wumpa Fruits for an experiment. Last but not least I have a little surprise planned," she added with a hint of mischief.

"Sounds like quite the day we have ahead of us," you smiled.

Crash and Tawna had decided to take a few days to themselves, so you and Coco would spend the day together uninterrupted.

"Are we making any bets for this week's competition?"

"Funny you should mention that. There are a couple of dishes in the sink that could use some cleaning. How about the loser has to wash them all?" she replied.

"Let me go check how many there are before I shake on it."

It was a tad bit suspicious that Coco would use the weekly bet on a few dirty plates. You sat up and were about to walk into the kitchen when Coco rushed in front of you, spreading her arms and legs in an attempt to prevent you from going into the room.

She shook her head. "Nuh-uh. No one's allowed in the kitchen until hands are shaken."

"It's worse than you said it is, isn't it."

"Well, maybe just a little bit."

You couldn't help but laugh at how adorable she was.

"All right I accept," you said, playfully throwing up your hands in defeat, much to her delight.

Shaking hands you walked back and sat in front of the TV in the living room. Coco joyful skipped over to the rack of Playstation games and began carefully choosing something to play. After some thought she grinned and snatched up one of the cases.

"So what game am I going to beat you at today?" you asked.

"In your dreams. I happen to be amazing at this one."

She flipped around to show you the case. It was a party game called Crash Bash. The characters on the cover seemed a bit familiar, but you couldn't quite put your finger on it. Coco inserted the disk, turned on the Playstation, and tossed you a controller. She took a controller for herself, sat down, and scooted next to you. Your bodies were practically pressed against each other side by side, not that you were complaining. After a couple of intro screens, you were finally in. Wasting no time Coco quickly selected the tournament mode and chose some kind of dingo-crocodile hybrid as her character. You looked over the other options and decided on the blond bandicoot.

"What made you pick her?" Coco questioned, seemingly holding her breath for the answer.

"She looked cute," you answered honestly.

You thought you saw Coco turn a shade of red before turning her head away. She took a moment then explained the rules to you. Once one of the minigames was selected you would both play until one of the players won two rounds. After the two rounds were won the minigame would take place in a different arena, with there being four arenas in total. Since Coco chose the game she was gracious enough to let you pick the minigame. Crate Crush seemed like it would be fun so you went with that. The goal was to deplete the other players' health by attacking them with crates, abilities, and power-ups. The first arena was Jungle Bash and the competition wasn't even close. Coco had the advantage of knowing the controls and took the first round without taking a single hit. You improved a bit in the second round, managing to land a few well-thrown crates onto the two AI. When it came down to just you and Coco your gameplay fell apart. She would dodge all the crates thrown and then mash the triangle button to make her character taunt, continuing only until the timer ran out and she once again took the round.
