♌Leox♒Aquarius - 7/31 神威がくぽx 1/30 巡音ルカ-Mutual Care

💜💗💜💗💜 Story 💗💜💗💜💗 After the meeting ended, the attendees gradually left the hall.Luka did not immediately return to the palace where she was staying. Instead, she wanted to take advantage of the fading daylight to walk around the land of Virgo, the head of the constellations.She picked up the Aquarian vessel and stepped out alone.The land of Virgo carried a different atmosphere compared to Aquarius. Neat streets stretched into the distance, white buildings glowed faintly golden under the sunset, and carefully trimmed trees lined the roads. Occasionally, faint starlit magic shimmered between courtyards and rooftops.Luka walked slowly, admiring the scenery.She gently turned the vessel in her hands. A few crystal droplets floated out, circled her once, then quietly returned to the instrument.“Since I’m here, I should take a good look.” She murmured softly.Just as she was about to continue forward, a familiar voice called from behind.“Luka.”She stopped.Turning back, she saw Gakupo approaching from the direction of the hall.“Gakupo?”He quickly came to her side. Luka looked at him curiously.“Why did you come out?”Gakupo didn’t answer immediately. His gaze fell on the vessel in her hands.“Where are you planning to go?”“Just wandering around.” Luka smiled. “It’s rare to visit Virgo’s land. I want to see the sights while I have time.”Gakupo nodded. “I see.”The two stood side by side on the street.The sun was sinking, and the sky shifted from gold to soft violet-blue.After a moment of silence, Gakupo spoke. “Luka.”“Yes?”“There’s something I need to tell you.”Sensing the seriousness in his tone, Luka’s smile faded. “What is it?”Gakupo looked into the distance. “This mission… it may take some time before I return.”Luka froze. The vessel in her hands stilled. “For some time?”“Yes.”“How long?”“I can’t say yet.”Luka didn’t press further. She lowered her head, staring at the vessel. The light mood she had carried suddenly grew heavy.“I see…” she whispered.Gakupo looked at her. “Once the mission is complete, I’ll come back as soon as I can.”Luka raised her head, forcing a smile. “I know.”She paused. “It’s just… hearing you’ll be gone so long, I can’t help but feel reluctant.”His gaze softened. “I feel the same.”Luka met his eyes. The last rays of sunset fell upon them both.After a moment of silence, she spoke quietly: “Then you must take care.”“I will.”“When danger comes, don’t push yourself.”“I’ll be careful.”“And don’t forget to rest, even if you’re in a hurry.”Gakupo smiled faintly. “Understood.”Her eyes lingered on him, filled with quiet reluctance. “And… come back soon.”“I will,” he said firmly. “I promise.”Luka nodded gently. “That’s good.”They stood quietly together.Gakupo gazed into her faintly blushing eyes, then leaned closer.Luka blinked, startled, but did not step back.The distance between them closed.Finally, Gakupo pressed a gentle kiss to her lips.Her eyes widened slightly, then slowly closed.The kiss was neither hurried nor adorned with words. It lingered softly, carrying unspoken feelings of reluctance before parting.After a moment, Gakupo drew back. Luka’s cheeks were tinged with red.She looked at him, and after a long pause, whispered: “…Take care.”He met her gaze. “You too.”Luka nodded lightly.Holding the vessel, she stood on the street as the sunset faded.She had only wanted to wander and admire Virgo’s land, yet now her only wish was for Gakupo’s mission to be safe.Before leaving, Gakupo looked at her once more.Their eyes met.No more words were spoken.But it was enough to convey the care they held for each other.
