Intertwined Hands - Vocaloid 神威がくぽx巡音ルカ

💜💗💜💗💜 Story 💗💜💗💜💗 Their fingers remained tightly intertwined. The spotlight shone down on the two of them at center stage, while the large heart they had formed above their heads stood out brilliantly beneath the lights. The cheers continued to rise, one wave after another. “Luka——!” “Gakupo——!” “You're amazing!” The two of them held the pose, smiling at the audience. Only after the photographer gave them an "OK" signal, indicating that enough shots had been taken, did Luka let out a small laugh. “I think that's about enough.” Gakupo gave a slight nod. “Yeah.” “We can lower our arms now.” As if they had rehearsed it countless times, the heart above their heads slowly came apart first, and their free hands naturally fell back to their sides. Then they looked down at the hands that were still locked together. Luka's fingers moved ever so slightly. “So...” Gakupo gently loosened his grip as well. “Let's let go.” Just as their fingers were about to separate— “No——!” A loud voice suddenly rang out from the front row. Both of them froze. The next instant, more voices joined in. “How can you let go?!” “Don't let go!” “Keep holding hands!” “Please don't separate!” What began as scattered shouts quickly turned into a chant that echoed throughout the arena. “Don't let go!” “Don't let go!” “Don't let go!” It was as though everyone had rehearsed it beforehand. Tens of thousands of fans shouted the exact same words in unison. Luka's fingers, which had already begun to loosen, stopped moving. She turned toward Gakupo, laughter sparkling in her eyes. “I don't think they're willing to let us.” Gakupo couldn't help but smile. “Apparently not.” Standing nearby, the host was laughing so hard he could barely speak. “This is the first time I've ever seen an entire audience stop two idols from letting go of each other's hands.” The remark sent another wave of laughter through the venue. Luka lowered her gaze to their still-interlocked hands. “So... what should we do?” she asked softly. Gakupo looked out over the audience. Countless pairs of hopeful eyes were fixed on them. Some fans even clasped their own hands together, silently begging them not to let go. He couldn't suppress a smile. “Well then...” He tightened his grip around Luka's hand once more. The fingers that had almost separated slipped firmly back together. “Ahhhhh——!” The arena instantly erupted into deafening screams. Luka laughed out loud. “You actually held on again.” Gakupo nodded gently. “Everyone wanted us to.” “Then... let's keep holding hands a little longer.” “All right.” This time, they didn't strike another pose. They simply stood side by side, fingers tightly intertwined. The host exaggerated a look of envy. “Maybe I should step aside and let everyone take a few more pictures?” “Yes——!” The audience answered almost in perfect unison. Chuckling, the host stepped away from the center of the stage. “Then I'll leave the spotlight to the two of you.” The spotlight settled on them once again. Gakupo glanced down at their joined hands. “It feels like... it's even harder to let go now.” Luka heard him and smiled softly. “It's not because of the fans.” “Hm?” “It's because you tightened your grip again.” Gakupo paused. He didn't deny it. Instead, a helpless yet gentle smile spread across his face. “...I guess you're right.” Their eyes met once again. This time, neither of them made any attempt to let go. The audience erupted into thunderous applause and cheers once more. It was as if everyone wished that those tightly intertwined hands could remain together just a little longer.
