Awakening of Hidden Magic - Vocaloid Gakupo Luka
💜💗💜💗💜 Story 💗💜💗💜💗 Luka practically jogged out of the room. She stood in front of the closet, her mind still a complete jumble. "Big brother's clothes..." After thinking it over, she pulled out a set of clothes originally meant as a gift for her brother Luki. The size might not fit perfectly, but it was still better than leaving Gakupo with nothing to wear. She carried the clothes back to the room, still not quite daring to look up. "Gakupo... put these on for now." "Thank you." Hearing that familiar voice, Luka's face heated up again. She handed the clothes over and immediately turned around. "Tell me when you're done." "Okay." After a moment, a voice came from behind her. "Luka, it's fine now." She slowly turned back around. Gakupo had already gotten dressed. The clothes had originally been Luki's, so they fit a little loosely on Gakupo, but at least he looked much more presentable now. Luka looked at him, then at the pair of purple cat ears. "...It's still so strange." "What is?" "You clearly look human, but you have cat ears and a tail." Gakupo glanced down at his own tail. "I can't control that either." Luka fell silent for a moment. She still found it hard to believe. "So... you're really Gakupo?" "Yes." "So this whole time, whenever I talked to you, you understood everything?" "Mm." "And when I told you about work stuff, you knew all of it too?" "I did." Luka's cheeks slowly puffed out. "Then all those times I hugged you and cried..." Gakupo was quiet for two seconds. "I knew about that too." "............" Luka immediately covered her face. "This is so embarrassing..." Gakupo watched her, his cat ears drooping slightly. "Don't be." "But you knew everything..." "I'm glad you were willing to tell me." Luka slowly lowered her hands. The two of them looked at each other for a moment. Then something occurred to her. "Since you're a cat spirit... you should be able to turn back into a cat, right?" "I can." "Then... turn back and show me." Gakupo nodded. The next moment, demonic power stirred gently around him. His form began to shrink. A moment later, the man standing before Luka was gone. In his place was a purple cat. The familiar shape. The familiar eyes. The familiar tail. Luka froze completely. She crouched down and gently reached out to pet his head. "...It's really true." Gakupo looked up at her. "Meow." Luka's eyes slowly lit up. "It's really you." She finally believed it, completely. The cat in front of her was the same Gakupo she had taken care of for nearly a year. She scooped the cat into her arms. "So you really were listening to everything I said this whole time." Gakupo rested quietly against her. Luka stroked his back gently. "Then... turn back one more time, show me again." Gakupo looked up at her. "Meow?" "I want to make sure." He seemed to understand. The purple demonic power surfaced once more. In the next instant, the cat shifted back into human form. Gakupo sat beside her. But once he'd turned back into a person, he didn't sit up straight the way Luka had expected. Instead, he leaned toward her quite naturally. His shoulder resting gently against hers. Luka blinked, caught off guard. "Gakupo?" "Mm." "You..." Gakupo said nothing. He only leaned in a little closer. Just as he used to when he was a cat, quietly nestling beside her. Luka looked at him. She suddenly felt like this scene was somehow familiar. Back when she used to work late, Gakupo would always curl up beside her. When she was upset, he would come lean against her. When she came home, he would run over to greet her. Now, even though he'd taken human form, he was still exactly the same as before. "Even after turning into a person... you still love being affectionate like this?" Gakupo didn't deny it. Instead, he rested his head gently on her shoulder. "Because it's you." Luka went still. "...What?" "I was like this even back when I was a cat." Gakupo closed his eyes. "Now I've just become human, that's all." Looking at Gakupo leaning against her, Luka's lips slowly curved into a smile. She reached out and stroked his head. His cat ears twitched gently at her touch. "So no matter what form you take, you're still Gakupo." "Mm." "Then that's good." Luka leaned gently against him in return. "Welcome back, Gakupo." Gakupo opened his eyes. He didn't say much in reply. He simply settled against her, quieter than ever. Just as he had done all throughout that past year.
