[Voltron Hunk x Persona] The Purple Paladin: The Story of an Unlikely Paladin

Chapter Two: Crush

We fly for what seems like an hour, when we land in a meadow. Allura tells everyone that we're in what we call France. I've never been to France before. We search through the daisies when we find a cat. It looks like a Russian Blue, with silver fur and bright green eyes. Allura looks at me, and gestures to the cat. I turn into a black cat, and sit next to it. We converse for a while, and I turn back to the crowd, wondering what we said. I turn back human and say, "We found our lion."

    "What?!" Lance exclaims, "This isn't our lion! It's just a cat!" I shake my head. "Cherie here says that she's the purple lion. She even recognized my bracelet." I hold up my wrist. Cherie, noticing it, jumps up to my hand and balances on my arm. She places her paw on my bracelet, and it flashes a blinding light. We turn away, shielding our eyes, until the beam fades down. I stare at Cherie's green eyes, now flickering yellow. 

She jumps off my arm, runs out into the meadow, and leaps. Different colored lights dance around her as she takes to the sky. We see Cherie fade away into the sunset, and look at each other. A spot in the sky suddenly illuminates. In the distance, I see Cherie flying back to us, with her front paws prosthetically modified, with streaks of purple, gray, and a luminous blue dashing across them. Her rear paws transform, as well as her torso. Finally, a large helmet covers her head, finishing the morph. 

Cherie, in her giant robot form, roars mightily. She stands proudly in front of us, and the other lions group around her talking about something. We all notice that some of the lions have grown luscious, holographic manes. Cherie looks at me and lowers her head in front of me. I place my hand on her nose, and she purrs. She lifts her massive head and gestures at the yellow lion, looking at it. The (male, now having a mane,) lion looks at me, and speaks to Cherie. The purple lioness purrs and lays down. "I think she wants you to go," Allura whispers to me. "Go where?" I ask. Cherie gapes her jaws. I step into the lion's mouth and look around.

I hear a familiar purr, and I smile. "Hi, Cherie," I say calmly, "What am I supposed to do?" A chair in the front of the room moves a bit. I sit down and wait. A loud click startles me, and I whirl around. A wardrobe is suddenly on the left side of the room. I stand up and open it. A full set of purple armor awaits me. I take a few minutes to look at it, ponder at my and its girth, and wear it. It fits perfectly! I love it; There's even a place for my bracelet! 

I press the pulsating flower button on the wrist of the suit, and an item forms out of the sparks flying out of the blossom. I hold it, and it transforms into a flail, resembling a morningstar. "Whoa," I go; it was super heavy. I practice swinging it around. "Cool," I chuckle to myself.

I step out of the lion proudly-- the flail in my right hand, the helmet held by my left arm, and a bigger ego and armor all over. Allura beams. "I see you've found your bayard," she says. I hold my weapon questioningly. "This?" I ask. It turns back to its normal form. "Yup," Hunk says, "that's it." 

"Aww," Lance whines, "why did she get a bayard that's that cool?" I giggle a bit, and Hunk nudges me a bit. "You look really cool with it." I stare into his pretty gaze and sigh. "Thanks," I say lovingly. In the corner of my eye, I could see Cherie and the yellow lion cuddling a little, watching the two of us bond. 

Cherie calls for me, and I break the stares this time. I walk to her, and ask, "What's up?" Cherie says (in cat), "I think Allura, Josef and I have found a new ship." A new ship? I blush inside my face, look back at Hunk, and turn back to her. "Yeah, I have a little crush on him." The yellow lion, Josef, if you will, talks to Cherie. She says back to me, "While you were exploring me, Josef could see Hunk's anticipation. He couldn't wait for your new look, he says." I gasp. "So it's a 2 way crush?" Cherie nods. "We should just stay friends first." I say, being afraid of being rejected. "Yes," Cherie says, "you should start slow. With you being a Gemini, you have to be patient with your Capricorn lover." I nod, and give her a thumbs up. 

I turn to Allura, which, as I could see, has been bottling up her anticipation to tell me she started a ship. She gestures her head at Hunk, and gives me a thumbs up. I raise two thumbs, and grin from ear to ear. This relationship is just getting started.
