Each Other’s Circle - Vocaloid 神威がくぽx巡音ルカ

💜💗💜💗💜 Story 💗💜💗💜💗 In the lounge, Luka was still sitting on the floor, holding the purple petal she had just taken off Gakupo. The two looked at each other for a while, and in the end it was Luka who laughed first. "Shouldn't we get back to the shoot?" Gakupo glanced at the heels by her feet, a trace of helplessness in his voice. "Before that, we need to find you a pair of shoes you can actually walk in." "True." Luka looked down at the broken heel and couldn't help sighing. "The shoot was going so well today, and I still ended up falling twice in a row." "At least you weren't hurt." As he spoke, Gakupo reached out and smoothed the hem of her skirt where it had spread out around her. "Besides, you were laughing so happily just now." "That's because you were right there beside me." Luka answered almost without thinking. Only after the words left her mouth did she realize what she had said, and she hurriedly looked away. Gakupo was briefly stunned, then smiled gently. "If that's the case, I'd be glad to stay by your side." Luka pressed her lips together and said nothing more. But the corners of her mouth, quietly lifting, had already given away her feelings. After the staff brought a pair of replacement flats, Gakupo helped Luka slowly to her feet. This time he didn't rush to let go of her hand. He waited until she was sure she was steady before loosening his grip. "You're fine this time." Luka tried a few steps, then turned back and smiled at him. "See? I'm back to normal." "That's good." Gakupo accompanied her back to the studio. The new set was ready. In front of a black backdrop were arranged several dark flowers, and lights from the side cast the two figures onto the background, creating a hazy, mysterious atmosphere. When the photographer saw them return, he immediately waved them over to their marks. "For this next set, I'd like something livelier. You don't need to keep looking at the camera. Feel free to try some fun expressions and poses." Luka's eyes lit up slightly. "Fun poses?" "That's right. A bit of playfulness is fine, but keep the overall air of mystery." Gakupo turned to look at her. "It seems you already have an idea." "Of course." Luka winked at him. "Don't you dare laugh at me later." "I'll try my best." "What do you mean, 'try'?" Gakupo held back a smile and didn't answer. The photographer had the two stand together first and took a few natural shots. At first, Luka simply turned her face slightly, letting her gaze drift past the camera, while Gakupo stood beside her with his usual composed expression. The shutter clicked. Then the photographer made a new suggestion. "For the next shot, try making a small circle with your hand in front of your eyes and look at the camera through the gap. You can lean your heads a little closer together." Luka immediately looked interested. "That sounds like fun." She first raised one hand, curling her thumb and index finger into a small ring, and let the other three fingers extend naturally. She brought the ring up in front of one eye and looked at the camera through the space her fingertips formed. Her usually clear blue eyes looked especially lively within that tiny frame. "Gakupo, like this!" She tilted her head to show him. Gakupo watched her playful look, amusement rising in his eyes. "I see." He raised his hand too, copying her movement and letting his fingertips form a small circle in front of his eye. But he didn't look at the camera right away. Instead, he first looked at Luka through the gap between his fingertips. Luka noticed. "Where are you looking?" "At you." Gakupo answered as if it were perfectly natural. Luka was momentarily speechless. "We're taking photos right now. This isn't the time for you to look at me!" "But the photographer didn't say I couldn't look at you." "You..." She wanted to retort but couldn't find the right words. Gakupo finally couldn't hold back his laughter. Seeing their reactions, the photographer immediately raised his camera. "Perfect! Hold it just like that!" Click. The shutter caught the moment of Luka's slightly puffed cheeks and Gakupo looking at her with a smile. "One more, both of you look at the camera!" Luka hurriedly turned her head back. She placed her hand in front of her eye again and looked at the camera through the ring of her fingertips. Gakupo followed her lead. They stood very close, their raised hands at exactly the same height, as though through their own small round windows they were peeking together at the world on the other side of the lens. "Very good, a little closer." Luka shifted half a step toward Gakupo. Their shoulders brushed lightly together. Gakupo tilted his head slightly, his violet eyes looking at the camera through the gap in his fingertips. Luka wore a playful smile, her blue eyes curved into a lovely arc. Click. This shot was livelier than the previous ones, and carried a kind of understanding that only the two of them could share. The photographer looked at the screen and nodded in satisfaction. "Wonderful! Now let's change it up a little. Luka, hold your original pose, and Gakupo, lean in from the side." Hearing this, Luka immediately turned to look at Gakupo. "No deliberately causing trouble, okay?" "I haven't done anything yet." "Your expression says it all." Gakupo laughed and raised both hands to show he had no intention of doing anything. But when the photographer began the countdown, he quietly moved a little closer to Luka. Luka was still holding her fingertips around her eye, looking at the camera through that little ring. Just as the shutter was about to click, Gakupo leaned down slightly and brought his face close to the side of hers. The distance between them shrank all at once. Luka sensed him approaching, and her eyes involuntarily widened. Her playful smile instantly turned a little flustered. Gakupo, however, kept his composed expression, and even sent her a smiling glance through the gap in his fingertips. Click. The photo was taken. The photographer lowered the camera and looked over the result with satisfaction. "This one is excellent! Luka's surprised expression is so natural, and Gakupo handled it very well." Only then did Luka lower her hand and turn to the person beside her. "You said you wouldn't cause trouble!" Gakupo blinked innocently. "I just moved in a little closer, as the photographer asked." "Nobody gets that close!" "But the photo should turn out well." Luka glared at him, yet couldn't help laughing. "You're really sly." "Is that a compliment?" "Of course not!" Smiling, Gakupo reached out and gently took her fingers in his. "Then let's call it my little mistake." Luka looked at their joined hands, and the complaints she had meant to keep making suddenly stopped at the tip of her tongue. His palm was still warm. And his smile was just as gentle as it had been when he comforted her in the lounge. Slowly, she squeezed his hand back. "I'll let it go this time." Gakupo nodded softly. "Thank you." "But for the next shot, you have to listen to me." "All right." Luka stepped back in front of the camera, a flash of mischief in her eyes. She raised her hand again, curling her fingertips into a small ring in front of her eye. This time, she didn't look at the camera. Instead, through the gap between her fingertips, she looked straight at Gakupo. "Your turn," she said with a smile. Gakupo looked at her, then raised his hand as well, striking the same pose. Across the rings formed by their own fingertips, the two gazed at each other. It was as if the entire world had been shrunk down into that tiny field of view. The photographer captured the scene and softly pressed the shutter. Click. In this photo, there were no falling petals and no deliberately staged, elaborate movements. There were only two people who, through the small gaps between their fingertips, left their gazes with each other. And after the shutter sounded, Luka still didn't lower her hand right away. Because she realized that even through that tiny ring, the way Gakupo looked at her was so tender that she couldn't bear to look away.
