The hashira were whispering once more glancing in a direction giyuu wasn't really paying attention, eventually the man got sick of the whispers and approached those he claimed ‘ weren't like him’ before asking in his usual dead voice.
“ what is everyone whispering about..? “
Kocho turned towards his direction with the fake smile that always sent a chill down to tomioka's bone. She opened her mouth in a pleasantly shaped ‘o’ before Mitsuri interrupted with a giggle. Unbeknownst to the annoyed insect whom side eyed her.
“ that slayer keeps staring over here we are trying to figure out what he wants!! “
Mitsuri whisper-squealed nodding into the direction of the trees that surrounded the Ubuyashiki estate as Tomioka turned round looking for a moment before smiling lightly. This caused Iguro and shiniguzawa to both faint, Rengoku and KANROJI somehow smiling broadly despite their already stretched faces and Kocho to simply look taken aback before regaining her usual composure.
“ say.. Tomioka-san! What makes you smile!! “
Tomioka let his expression fall before turning to Kocho and pointing to the mysterious slayer and opening his mouth.
“ my husband is. “
The remaining conscious hashira all gaped as the slayer emerged from the trees nervously approaching giyuu trying to avoid the others prying eyes as Tomioka turned around with a small smile.
The slayer was none other than Murata a low-ranked slayer whom had been in the corps for a decent amount of time, the same amount of time as Tomioka in fact.
Murata shoved a package into tomioka's arms and the ravenette placed the bento down, quickly moving to wrap his arms around his partner and kiss his forehead sweetly making uzui choke on his spit rather dramatically.
“ thank you mura, I must've forgot! “
The water hashira beamed much to the others dismay as the slayer nodded curling up into giyuu's body to which the water hashira just tightened his hold and turned around to the other hashira. Who were.. To say the least shocked.
Giyuu tilted his head as he looked at them hooking his chin over his husbands head as Murata wrapped his arms around his waist shyly, at least one of the two was hesitant to be affectionate in public at least.
“ what's wrong? “
Giyuu said in his usual dead pan before Murata lightly tapped his back causing him to yelp before clearing his throat and saying the same sentence in a much nicer voice earning a soft him from his partner.
“ Tomioka.. You not only have a partner.. But your married? FLASHY! “
uzui exclaimed looking at the couple with a large smile , Tomioka stared at him for a moment before feeling a tug on his haori.
“ ah, I have to go my husbands uncomfortable. Bye”
He said plainly as he adjusted his hold on Murata, letting him go before grabbing both the bento and his husband before walking off.
Kocho's smile faultered again.
“ what the absolute FUCK just happened. “
The hashira began to laugh at kocho's statement but they all had to agree this was definitely an odd encounter
