♌Leox♒Aquarius - Tatapan yang Menjaga - 神威がくぽx巡音ルカ

💜💗💜💗💜 Story 💗💜💗💜💗 A Watchful Gaze He thought again.Perhaps the best way was to loosen the bottle cap a little first. As long as it didn’t move suddenly, it wouldn’t easily make a sound. Then he could slowly open it.Thinking of this, he didn’t rush to act. Instead, he looked at Luka again.She was really sleeping deeply. Her long hair spread out in the water, a few strands brushing lightly across her cheek.Gakupo’s gaze lingered on her. “This half month… you must have suffered a lot.” he whispered.Suddenly, he felt regret. If he had known earlier that she couldn’t sleep well because of his mission, perhaps he should have sent her more messages along the way. At least to let her know he was safe.But missions were full of unpredictable things. Sometimes even he didn’t know what would happen next. Now, thinking about it, all he could do was cherish the person before him even more.Gakupo fell silent for a moment. He raised his hand and moved closer to the bottle cap again. This time, he finally held the edge gently. His movements were so slow they were almost invisible.He didn’t use magic. Nor did he apply force directly. He only checked if the cap could move.A slight shift. No sound.Gakupo stopped. Waited for a while. Luka was still asleep. Only then did he breathe a little easier.“Good.”But he still didn’t open it. Because the next part was the most delicate. He had to make sure the cap left the bottle without any sudden noise.He studied the joint again. Rehearsed the movements in his mind. If he lifted from this angle… no. If he moved sideways first… maybe. But it had to be even lighter.He even began to think about where he should stay inside the bottle once he entered, so he wouldn’t touch Luka. After all, she was sleeping so soundly. If he accidentally touched her, she might wake up. Then all his careful effort would be wasted.Gakupo couldn’t help but smile. “I just want to sleep beside you, yet I’m making it feel like some secret mission.”Even so, his movements remained cautious. Because this time, he truly didn’t want to wake her.He looked inside again. Luka was still lost in her dreams. Perhaps she didn’t even know Gakupo had returned. Nor that he was right outside the bottle, spending so much time just to avoid disturbing her.Thinking of this, his eyes softened. “Sleep well.” “I’m back.” he whispered.Even if Luka couldn’t hear, he still said it.Then he studied the cap again. This time, he had found a better way to open it. If he was careful enough, he could loosen it slowly.But he still didn’t rush. He knew he had time now. The mission was over. He had safely returned to her side. And Luka no longer had to worry about his safety.So, instead of going in immediately, he preferred to take his time. Just to let her keep sleeping.Gakupo quietly stayed by the bottle. Thinking of how to open the cap, while recalling Luka’s lonely days over the past half month.The more he thought, the more his heart ached.Finally, he smiled softly. “When you wake up… this time, I’ll be the one to keep you company for a proper rest.”With that, he turned his attention back to the cap. Carefully preparing for the next step. -------- Indonesian Dia kembali berpikir.Mungkin cara terbaik adalah melonggarkan tutup botol sedikit terlebih dahulu. Selama tidak bergerak tiba-tiba, itu tidak akan mudah menimbulkan suara. Lalu perlahan membukanya.Memikirkan hal itu, dia tidak segera bertindak. Sebaliknya, dia kembali menatap Luka.Dia benar-benar tidur nyenyak. Rambut panjangnya terurai di dalam air, beberapa helai menyapu lembut pipinya.Tatapan Gakupo berhenti padanya. “Setengah bulan ini… pasti sangat berat bagimu.” bisiknya.Tiba-tiba dia merasa menyesal. Jika sejak awal tahu bahwa Luka tidak bisa tidur nyenyak karena misinya, mungkin dia seharusnya lebih sering mengirim pesan. Setidaknya agar dia tahu bahwa dirinya baik-baik saja.Namun misi penuh dengan hal-hal tak terduga. Kadang bahkan dia sendiri tidak tahu apa yang akan terjadi selanjutnya. Sekarang, yang bisa dia lakukan hanyalah lebih menghargai orang di hadapannya.Gakupo terdiam sejenak. Dia mengangkat tangan, kembali mendekati tutup botol. Kali ini, dia akhirnya menggenggam tepi tutup dengan lembut. Gerakannya begitu pelan hingga hampir tak terlihat.Dia tidak menggunakan sihir. Tidak juga memaksakan tenaga. Hanya memastikan apakah tutup itu bisa bergerak.Sedikit bergeser. Tanpa suara.Gakupo berhenti. Menunggu sebentar. Luka masih tertidur. Barulah dia sedikit lega.“Bagus.”Namun dia tetap tidak membukanya. Karena bagian selanjutnya adalah yang paling penting. Dia harus memastikan tutup itu terlepas tanpa suara mendadak.Dia kembali mengamati sambungan. Membayangkan gerakan di dalam pikirannya. Jika diangkat dari sudut ini… tidak. Jika digeser ke samping dulu… mungkin. Tapi harus lebih lembut lagi.Dia bahkan mulai memikirkan, jika benar-benar masuk ke dalam botol, di mana dia harus berada agar tidak menyentuh Luka. Karena dia tidur begitu lelap. Jika tanpa sengaja menyentuhnya, mungkin dia akan terbangun. Dan semua kehati-hatian akan sia-sia.Gakupo tersenyum kecil. “Aku hanya ingin tidur di sampingmu, tapi malah terasa seperti menjalankan misi rahasia.”Meski begitu, gerakannya tetap hati-hati. Karena kali ini, dia benar-benar tidak ingin membangunkannya.Dia kembali melihat ke dalam. Luka masih tenggelam dalam mimpi. Mungkin dia bahkan tidak tahu Gakupo sudah kembali. Tidak tahu bahwa saat ini dia berada di luar botol, menghabiskan begitu banyak waktu hanya agar tidak mengganggunya.Memikirkan itu, tatapannya menjadi semakin lembut. “Tidurlah dengan tenang.” “Aku sudah kembali.” bisiknya.Meski Luka tidak bisa mendengar, dia tetap mengatakannya.Kemudian dia kembali mempelajari tutup botol. Kali ini, dia sudah menemukan cara yang lebih tepat untuk membukanya. Jika cukup hati-hati, dia bisa melonggarkannya perlahan.Namun dia tetap tidak terburu-buru. Dia tahu sekarang dia punya waktu. Misi sudah selesai. Dia telah kembali dengan selamat di sisinya. Dan Luka akhirnya tidak perlu lagi khawatir tentang keselamatannya.Jadi, daripada langsung masuk, dia lebih memilih meluangkan waktu. Hanya agar Luka tetap bisa tidur.Gakupo diam di samping botol. Sambil memikirkan cara membuka tutup, dia juga mengingat hari-hari Luka yang sendirian selama setengah bulan ini.Semakin dia memikirkan, semakin hatinya terasa sakit.Akhirnya, dia tersenyum lembut. “Ketika kau bangun… kali ini aku yang akan menemanimu beristirahat dengan baik.”Setelah itu, dia kembali fokus pada tutup botol. Bersiap hati-hati untuk langkah berikutnya.
