The Game of Endurance - Vocaloid 神威がくぽx巡音ルカ

💜💗💜💗💜 Story 💗💜💗💜💗 The light in the room remained soft and warm. The black blindfold still covered Gakupo’s eyes, leaving him to rely only on sounds, presence, and those subtle sensations that could not quite be put into words to guess what Luka was doing. His hands were still restrained. And the punishment game had not ended as he had expected. After a brief silence, Luka suddenly let out a quiet laugh. Her voice was close. So close that Gakupo instinctively lifted his head. “What is it?” he asked. “Nothing.” Luka’s voice sounded unusually cheerful. Gakupo remained silent for a moment. “You’re laughing again.” “Am I?” “You are.” “Then perhaps it’s because…” Luka deliberately paused. “It’s amusing to see someone trying to look completely calm even though he has no idea what is going to happen next.” Gakupo smiled helplessly. “I just trust you.” “I know.” Her voice softened. After a brief silence, that familiar mischievous tone returned. “So, hold it in.” Gakupo paused. “…What?” Luka didn’t answer. She simply laughed again. There was something hidden in that sound, like a secret only she knew. Gakupo quickly realized that she was probably teasing him again. He took a slow breath. “All right.” “Please endure it.” “I will.” “Don’t let me end this punishment too quickly.” When those words fell into the quiet room, Gakupo immediately fell silent. He couldn't see Luka’s expression, but he could almost imagine the slightly smug smile she must be wearing. “You really are good at teasing people.” “Who told you to make me upset today?” “So how long do I have to endure this?” “I don’t know.” “You don’t even know?” “Mm.” Luka’s straightforward answer made Gakupo laugh despite himself. But the moment the laugh escaped, she immediately reminded him softly, “Hold it in.” Gakupo quickly pressed his lips together. “…I’m already trying my best.” “I know.” Luka’s voice suddenly became gentle. “That’s why I think you’re cute.” Those words made Gakupo fall completely silent. He had been about to protest, but after hearing those final words, he suddenly couldn't think of anything to say. After a while, he spoke quietly. “You know something?” “What?” “What you just said was even more unfair than the punishment.” Luka froze for a moment. Then she laughed. “So you do get embarrassed.” “I just…” “Just what?” “I just didn’t expect you to suddenly say something like that.” “Then I can say more things like that from now on.” Gakupo sighed helplessly. “If this continues, I really might not be able to win.” “Who said this was a competition?” Luka’s voice drifted softly through the room. “I just want you to remember one thing.” “What?” “Even if we argue sometimes, don’t hide what you really feel.” Gakupo fell silent. This time, he didn't joke. “I promise.” “Really?” “Really.” “Then…” Luka deliberately paused again. Gakupo immediately became alert. “What now?” “Nothing.” She held back a laugh. “I just suddenly feel like the punishment could last a little longer.” Gakupo smiled helplessly. “I knew it.” “So, hold it in.” “Mm.” “Please endure it.” “…All right.” “Don’t let me end it too quickly.” Outside the window, the night grew deeper. Yet their voices remained within the warmth of the soft light. The punishment game that had begun because of a small disagreement had unknowingly become a kind of understanding that only lovers could share. Gakupo couldn't see Luka. Yet he knew more clearly than ever that she was right there beside him. And Luka never truly wanted to make things difficult for him. She simply wanted this moment to last a little longer. Long enough for both of them to forget who had been upset first. Until all that remained was the sound of each other’s voices, and those words that never seemed to disappear. “Hold it in.” “Please endure it.” “Don’t let me end this punishment too quickly.”
