The hashira were meeting at night, an odd occurance due to their jobs. However, the master had let them have a break due to a minimization in demon attacks lately so like his usual flashy self, Tengen Uzui had proposed that they have a meal and drink in his home of the entertainment district.
Of course some had denied however they had been convinced or forced to come along, namely Tomioka giyuu whom had been all but threatened that if he didn't go he would be a test subject for the insect hashiras poisons.
Because of the fact he'd rather not die while 21 , Tomioka accepted with the acception that he could bring someone with him, little did the others know they would meet one of the Uppermoons that day.

Tomioka murdered incoherently as he gazed at his minimum amount of clothes, he had been there for around an hour trying to decide what to wear to no avail.
Tomioka gave up after another five minutes passed, he called to the other inhabitant of his home, his husband.
“ Michikatsu ! come help me pick something “
Giyuu heard a faint ‘ alright ‘ before his partner entered their room wearing his usual outfit, Michikatsu approached the small closet and took out a Royal Blue yukata with wave patterns adorning the sleeves, then he pulled out some dark pants and handed them to giyuu delicately.
“ this should do, the blue haori you have should also fit.. “
Michikatsu mumbled quietly as giyuu gave him a light smile and thanked him before disappearing to go change.
Michikatsu decided to actually wear something different for a change, he dressed himself in his usual style accept with a purple yukata and a blue belt. He also adorned himself with a plain checkered haori before walking out the room to see giyuu in the kitchen whispering again.
“ you look nice. “
Giyuu mentioned before passing over a cup of tea to the semi-flustered man. The ravenette then glanced at the clock before placing his tea down.
“ we better set off. “
His husband just nodded to him before taking his hand and walking off leaving giyuu to stumble and try catch up with the long strides his partner took.
—
After around an hour of walking they had made it to where they were supposed to meet the others, they would have arrived earlier if Michikatsu hadn't noticed some shiny hair pins and almost buying most of the stall, by now giyuu was used to his husbands unusual need for shiny things. He glanced at the long red-black pony tail which was now adorned with random pins.
Giyuu gently smiled before returning to his normal blank face once he heard Rengoku’s booming voice, he gently tugged his husband towards the restaurant.
–
Once the hashira had heard the door swingling they looked towards the direction of the noise, there they spotted Tomioka and a tall man with their hands intertwined. Shinobu raised an eyebrow at this detail before she could point it out however Tengen had already called the two over.
They were surprised when the tall man obediently followed the water hashira, the man didn't even take his eyes off the ravenette, he didn't seem to even notice the others keeping his eyes locked on his lover.
Shinobu coughed into her hand lightly before looking at Tomioka with her usual unsettling smile.
“ now now tomioka-san~ who may this be? “
She said in her sickly sweet voice as Tomioka looked at the other man waiting for a nod before he finally replied.
“ this is my husband, Michikatsu “
He replied in his usual voice as the man in question slightly his behind him out of habit , the hashiras’ jaw's dropped as they hadn't known their fellow hashira was able to even date someone never mind marry them.
“ KYA!!! THAT'S SO CUTE!! “
Mitsuri exclaimed making Iguro jump up at the sudden noise causing shiniguzawa to snicker at the startled man.
“ wow Tomioka! How long have you been married to this man!! “
Tengen exclaimed with an interested glint in his eyes.
Tomioka turned his head to face the blinding man as he blinked before replying calmly.
“ around a year now..”
The hashiras jaws dropped again, even Kaburamaru’s small snake jaw dropped at the information as Michikatsu buried his face into tomioka's hair out of embarrassment.
“ how come we didn't know Tomioka? “
Shinobu questioned as Tomioka looked at Gyomei whom simply said ‘actually I knew.. I was the preist,”
“ I didn't see the need to tell anyone else.. “
The quiet man muttered before jumping slightly when he felt arms wrap around him before he settled once more.
“ it's nice to see you out of your uniform Tomioka! “
Rengoku said with his signature smile earning a glar from Tomioka's husband making him shiver a bit, during this time Tomioka sat down with his husband right next to him looking a bit uncomfortable.
—
They had ordered food and now we're eating, however tomioka's husband wasn't eating which everyone but shiniguzawa turned an eye away from.
“ oi frowny face why isn't your husband eating! “
Tomioka looked up from his salmon before swallowing and getting some rice swiped off his face before he replied.
“ he doesn't like the food here. “
Tomioka said plainly , Tengen raised an eyebrow as it was unusual for someone to not like the foods sold in the place they were in.
“ so what does he eat then..? “
Tengen asked out of pure curiosity making. Michikatsu give him a glare behind Tomioka's back.
“ Michi is it alright if I? “
Michikatsu nodded calmly as Tomioka sliced his hand with a sharp nice causing Kocho to gasp as she began to try get a med kit out before vaulting as he saw tomioka's husband latch on drinking up the blood with a fixated expression, once he had finished he fished out some bandages and wrapped tomioka's hand with a precision only seen from slayers . This whole thing left everyone confused as Michikatsu wiped his mouth and watching Tomioka once more, the man was currently eating like nothing had happened.
“ . Why does your husband eat blood. “
Kocho stated in an annoyed tone as Michikatsu sighed before replying to her instead of Tomioka this time.
“ I'll show you outside. “
The tall man muttered as he watched Tomioka finish his food with a calm expression, the other hashira quickly finished curious as to what was to be shown.
—
Once they had reached outside Michikatsu picked Tomioka up before nodding to the others and entering a forest of sorts leaving the others to follow some with an annoyed expression.
After a while of walking they had reached a clearing where Michikatsu placed Tomioka, whom was now sleeping, down and carefully breathed as his demonic form revealed itself.
The demon hissed as his other eyes came into place tearing his skin in the process before he opened his eyes to reveal the kanji “upper moon 1” they said which caused all the hashira to stumble back as Michikatsu sat down bringing Tomioka to his lap as the man slept.
Michikatsu looked back up at the shocked expressions before standing up once more with Tomioka in his arms.
“ bye. “
He said simply before he disappeared leaving the confused hashira in the deserted forest.
