The two kneeled in front of their lovers grave hand in hand, both sharing a weak smile and wiping each other's tears away. Leaving a note and some flowers behind, they walked away with their heads held high, knowing that's all he would've wanted of them. ①

"What do you think of the red haired boy?" asked the fiery haired man. Uzui looked to him with a face full of disgust, "I think he has lost his damn mind! Bringing a demon into the demon slayer corps?! What is master even thinking? I don't give a damn if it's his sister, she's a demon! He didn't even give us a flashy display explaining why we should allow it either!" Rengoku chuckled at the man's reply. "I do agree with you entirely, but I will obey the masters orders." Uzui rolled his eyes and continued his stroll with Rengoku. After a bit, Rengoku put his hand on Uzui's shoulder. "You seem worked up, why don't we stop by the tea house and relax at your residence after to get you calmed down!", he said with a soft smile. Honestly, that smile was enough to calm him immediately, but Uzui went along with it. "You just want to go to the tea house to get me to spend all of my money on your appetite!!", Rengoku gave a hearty laugh in response.

The men went to the tea house and chatted over (a mountain) of food and some tea. "How is everything with your wives? You haven't brought them around in quite some time.", Rengoku asked with his mouth full. "Stop talking with your mouth full! I'm practically drenched from all the spit flying out your mouth.", Uzui laughed, "but they are doing alright from the letters I've been receiving. I haven't brought them around the past couple months because I've sent them on a mission to the entertainment district. "How flashy", Rengoku mocked. "I know right!! They fit right in", Uzui said this with a proud smile.

"Speaking of my wives though, they've actually been asking about me getting another partner. They're always joking about 'who will be lord Tengen's first husband' ", he playfully rolled his eyes. Rengoku's eyes shot up at the white haired man in confusion, "husband?" "Well yea, don't you know this already?" Rengoku cocked his head to the side, still confused. Uzui pinched the bridge of his nose and got up from where he was sitting to showcase his look, "No straight man would put this much effort into looking like the god of festivals!! I'm honestly appalled that you believed me to be anything but bisexual! ②" Uzui jokingly scoffed and sat back down. Rengoku turned red, embarrassed that he hadn't realized sooner. "Well, It's not as if everyone else knew" He stated, although it was more of a question. "You really are more brawn than brains huh?" Uzui jokingly questioned, "Of course everyone else knows, I don't keep it much of a secret. I thought you would've been the first to realize, seeing as you're gay yourself." After a moment, Rengoku quickly laid his head and hands flat on the table, "I sincerely apologize for not realizing sooner!" Uzui bursted out laughing at his apology and firmly patted his head, "It's not that big of a deal, don't worry about it! It's still hilarious that you didn't realize sooner though."

After Rengoku lifted his head and Uzui's laughter calmed down, Uzui looked back at the man sitting across from him. "Since we're on the topic of lovers, what about you, Rengoku? You got anyone you're interested in?", the question made the Flame Hashira's face almost the same color as the ends of his hair. This reaction made Uzui smirk, "Sooo, who's the lucky guy?? Someone I know? I could totally hook you up with him." Rengoku sat silent for a moment, almost as if he was trying to plan out what he was going to say. "I don't entirely understand my feelings towards them just yet, but even if I did, having a partner or partners would just distract me from my work." Uzui sighed, "You're such a buzzkill, ya know? Always going on about how things would "interfere with your work". Our lives as Hashira are pretty much destined to be cut short, so why not just say fuck it and do something for yourself before you don't have the time left to do it?" His tone had dramatically changed, indicating that he was serious about this. Rengoku couldn't help but agree with him, even if he didn't want to. "You're right, but that also gives me an even greater reason to go without a lover. If I do happen to die, it would just cause them grief and I don't want to burden more people with my death than I already will. I will take your words into great consideration though!!", he gave a proud smile after his last sentence. Knowing how stubborn the man was, Uzui just rolled his eyes and decided to finish the rest of his argument another day.
