Imagine that when you and Hotaru get engaged that the swordsmith village throws a party
The elder: so my boy, who is this lovely vision you've brought with you today?
Hotaru: this is (y/n), they're from (country)
The elder: it's good to see you making friends out side of the village for a change.
Hotaru: Elder!
The elder: I jest, I jest, so what have you come here for?
You and Hotaru: *look at each other and fidget nervously*
Hotaru: we've come to request your permission to marry.
The elder: come again?
You: we seek your approval to get married.
The elder: you *points at you* want to marry him *points at Hotaru*
You: yes sir
Hotaru: please! I beg of you! *Presses his forehead to the floor as he bows, promptly notices you aren't bowing so he puts his hand on your head and pushes you into a bow similar to his own*
Elder: *is stunned silent for a minute, before yelling* Hotaru is finally getting married!
Maid: *pops in* Hotaru, as in Hotaru Haganezuka? Married?
You and Hotaru: *look up to see the elder running out of the room*
Elder: break out the unagi and the good saki I've been saving for this exact moment! Yukimura go tell the villagers we're having a party tonight!
Yukimura: *just came in from scouting around the village* what's the occasion?
Elder: my boy, Hotaru, is finally getting married!
Yukimura: to who? Is it Satsuki, or Naomi, or maybe Ren?
Elder: a foreigner! Their name is (y/n), and they are quite the looker!
Hotaru: *five different shades of red and is sitting up rather rigidly while clenching his hands into fists as he pressed them interested his knees* I'm going to kill him, he just has to go off and embarrass me.
You: he very clearly loves you and has been worried about you.
*at the party*
You & Hotaru: *are sitting together in front of everyone*
Hotaru: *drinking saki while trying to look unhappy with his fellow villagers but is very happy they care this much and are happy for the both of you*
You: *watching Kanamori dance with the elder, before smiling up at Hotaru and gently taking a hold of one of his hands and moving it to your lap*
Hotaru: *melts inside, before bending down and leaning forward to press his forehead against yours* I love you
You: *leans into him* I love you too
The crowd: *sees and starts to hoot and holler*
Hotaru: *pouts that you two were caught*
You: *giggles* quite the lively bunch aren't they?
Hotaru: yeah, hopefully they'll settle down by the time we get settled into our new house.
You: new... You bought us a new house?
Hotaru: yes, I mean I figured my current place would be too small. So I bought that house you were eyeing last month, I wanted it to be a surprise. I have yet to sell my hut, if you are displeased with the new house.
You: you spoil me sometimes. *Kisses him*
Hotaru: I'm allowed to sometimes, what's the phrase?... Happy wife, happy life! A phrase I intent to live by from now on. *Pulls you into his lap and wraps his arms around you*
You: you're so cute!
Hotaru: what are you talking about? I'm the epitome of manliness.
You: hmm is that so? You'll have to give me an in depth demonstration later on tonight.
Hotaru: *nearly chokes on his drink* you are trouble ain't'cha?
You: you knew that going into this.
Kanamori: *over heard your conversation and begins to make lewd gestures that only Hotaru can see*
Hotaru: you perverted bastard! *gets up and chases his friend*
Elder: *also overheard your conversation* Make sure you save some of that energy for (y/n) later tonight!
