Aki

"Finally," a voice rang out.

Aki was sitting on the windowsill, looking at you with a completely human gaze.

"You... you can talk?!"

"Of course. It's just that before, you couldn't understand me."

As it turned out, Aki was an ancient guardian spirit. Long ago, he had saved a human's life, but for that, he was cursed to live among humans in the form of a cat. To break the curse, he needed someone with a kind heart, ready to accept him without fear.

That person happened to be you.

But along with the breaking of the curse, a part of the feline magic transferred to you as well.

Now, in the evenings, you would sit by the window, hiding a fluffy tail under your hoodie and listening to the noise of the city. Sometimes you wanted to go back to a normal life.

But every time, Aki would jump up beside you and purr softly:

"Don't be sad. Being half-cat isn't so bad."

And then, you couldn't help but smile.

Though, there was something else that embarrassed you the most.

Every time someone patted you on the head, you would start to purr.

And you just couldn't control it.

(the rest is up to you)
