It's been a long day. After slaying so many demons in one district, you thought it was best to get back home to your husband, Kyojiro Rengoku, and his estate. Master Kagaya and your crow can learn about your success later. As you walked down the dirt path, hand on your katana guard,  your thoughts traveled back to how he acted when you woke up that morning. He was so rushed about you going that you got a little sad. 'What was he doing anyways?' you thought, making your way around the different buildings and walking down a straightaway to the estate.

     __________________________________________________________________________

"Come on now, sunshine! You don't want to be late for your mission due date! You must be done as soon as possible!"

You frowned, allowing yourself to be dragged down the halls by Rengoku, all the while looking at him with a plea in your eyes. 

"But Kyo--"

As soon as you were going to protest, he gently pushed you out the door, along with a very long kiss on the forehead..It was so different than what he usually does. Usually, Rengoku tries his best to stall you from your missions for as long as humanly possible. Today he pushed you out? Huh? Is this really your husband? Was he planning on doing something while you were gone?

"Kyooooooo...gahh."

Looking down for a moment, you felt your chin pucker and your lips pout, staring down at the ground and wondering what you did to deserve such a speedy goodbye..not that last night wasn't enough...(👁️ 👁️ iykyk) You stood there for a good few minutes before gloomily making your way away from the estate. You were more laggard today because of that. It didn't stop you from doing your mission though. Luckily.

    ___________________________________________________________________________

Rengoku, who happened to hear the familiar footsteps of his lover from outside, rushed quickly to the front door and slipping something into his pocket. When you'd walked in, he jumped behind you and covered your eyes in an instant.

"Kyo, I'm ho...me?"

You stood there, once again flabbergasted at the door, wavering in your steps from fatigue but finally relaxing into Rengoku's chest. He felt you lean into him, smiling widely and giddily caressing your cheeks with his thumbs.

"Hello, sunshine! I know it's late, and you're probably tired, and I know you should be sleeping, but I do have a surprise for you!"

You replied with a simple nod and kissed his cheek, feeling the warmth from his hands grow hotter. You giggled at this, squeezing your eyes shut as he pushed you forward and walked you through the estate. The familiar turns and stops were very similar to the direction to the living room. To your "undoubted" surprise, Rengoku noticed a smile curl on your lips. You must've figured out you were in the living room somehow..

"You have your eyes open! Sunshine!"

You giggled at his sarcastic tone, quickly retorting and teasingly punching your husband as you blurted:

"I am not! I just know my way around the house!"

"With your eyes closed? As expected for a demon slayer such as yourself." 

Rengoku commented as he now held your hands, beckoning you to open your eyes with a squeeze. Your gaze was met with a room beautifully lit with candles from each corner; on the tea table moved to the side of the room, there was a gramophone with different western records from the 20s stacked next to it (I'm unsure if the timeline with the gramophone and the Taisho Period make sense, so I apologize T^T). The ceiling was sloppily decorated with orange and red tassels. You gasped, giggling quietly at the masterpiece of a living room.

"You've been so stressed with work lately!"

He began,  

"Saving villages and townsfolk for the past week, slaughtering demons; not resting for days on end...so, I decided to set up a surprise for you while you were gone for the day!"

Then, he pulled a pink, white, and silver themed hairpin from his pocket and tucked it behind your ear. It had three singular silver chained tassels with tiny spheres of rose quartz hanging from the ends; they clinked together when he brushed them out of your hair. The center piece was a hazy pink flower with a sphere of rose quartz in the middle. The body of the pin was silver and faded to white at the sharp end. You couldn't find the words for how you were feeling. Everything was so perfect. You could cry if you wanted to. 

"Kanroji helped me pick it out! She and I thought it would look perfect on you."

Rengoku smiled with a huff of pride as he took a long moment to take a look at how pretty the pin looked on you, taking one of your hands and walking you to the middle of the room as he did so. Then, he quickly placed the needle onto the record and watched it spin into place. Pacing with the music, he grabbed your hand once more and peppered the back of your palm with kisses.

"Kyo.."

He chuckled and placed your arms around his neck, then his around your hips, rocking slowly to the rhythm. As you adjusted your footing, he placed his face into the crook of your neck, humming to the song. His hum made your skin vibrate, pulling you into a peaceful trance. 

"This is amazing Kyo, thank you so much."

"No need to thank me! Anything for my wife."

He said in a singsong tone, smiling ecstatically  into the crook of your neck as he continued to dance to the music's rhythm; Tengen helped him with dancing and personally taught him basic foot choreography just with the beat of music. It has really been helping with his performance with his dancing and he was happy just to see you having fun. 

'Best night ever,' you thought.
