Hi, could you please do a oneshot where reader is secretly married to Giyuu (they keep it hidden so that others can't target them due to their status) and the hashira all find out when his s/o, who is a slayer, arrives at HQ to give a report regarding a recent mission and she gives Giyuu a quick kiss and hug before going inside to the master and the hashira are all like- 'who tf is that?!' and Giyuu, bless his trying soul, is just like "my husband/wife/s/o"

Giyuu was never the one to share anything about himself unless it was absolutely necessary. Because of this, none of his fellow Hashiras ever knew about his life, nor the fact he had a love life.

Everyone knew Giyuu was a very private man. He never spoke about his past to his fellow Hashiras— he never really spoke to them in the first place.
So telling them about his spouse was the least of his worries. They never really ask him anyway, they'd usually ignore him and leave him be— he prefers it that way. Sometimes, someone would poke and prod him for any sort of reaction, or information about himself annoyingly—Shinobu—, but he always managed a calm and quiet facade.
Although, he doesn't blame them for acting so surprised once they found out about his relationship with someone they've never heard of before. Giyuu still doesn't believe it himself, that he got to marry you when you could've chosen people who were so, so much better than him.
But Giyuu is oblivious to the fact as to why their shock is very exaggerated, in his opinion, and it frustrates them even more. Well, it was mostly Tengen who was fuming at this revelation, but nevertheless, Giyuu didn't understand why he was suddenly the center of attention as soon as they heard the news.
The Hashiras found out one day when you were called to the Headquarters for a Hashira meeting to report your previous missions, along with other demon slayers. Once you're finished with your report, you bow down to Oyakata-sama, and then, by habit, go towards your dear husband.
Immediately, everyone had their eyes on you, curious as to why you were walking to Giyuu. To their astonishment, you went extremely close to him, wrapping your arms loosely around his torso, to which he reciprocated. It was a quick hug, that was all, no harm done but the small action left an earth-shattering impact on all of the Hashiras.
And then, you kissed him.
On the lips.
It was a small, fleeting peck that lingered, making your lips tingle at the loving gesture. All the Hashira's jaws dropped, even Muichiro was shocked! You mumbled to him, but with how quiet it was, everyone heard it.
"Love you, see ya later at dinner."
Both of you were unaware of what you just had done, too focused on one another to realize the two of you were still at Headquarters, in front of everybody. Wide eyes trailed your figure as you pulled away from Giyuu, bowing once more to the other Hashiras, and walked off with a pep in your step, a big, wide smile on your face.
It was silent for a moment, everyone unmoving as all eyes now landed on Giyuu. It took a while for him to register that every other Hashira was staring intensely at him. He has no idea why they're looking at him like that and honestly, he's beginning to internally panic.
Kagaya just smiled knowingly when one of his children whispered what just happened to him, chuckling quietly as he waited for everything to unfold on its own. He could only imagine Giyuu's face at this moment.
"What? Why are you all looking at me like that?" He demanded, a frown tugging on his lips as he furrowed his brows, befuddled. Shinobu's surprised expression shifted into an exasperated one, pinching the bridge of her nose. Just how detached can Tomioka-san be? She thought.
"Who was that, Tomioka-san?" She decided to ask since no one else would. She watched Giyuu blink, then realization punched him right on his face, his body going rigid. He slowly turned his head away, but the tips of his ears were red, suddenly hyperaware that he just kissed someone in front of everyone.
He's dying on the inside.
"That... was my... spouse..." Giyuu managed to say, speech stiff as if he's having trouble as to what to say. Cue the multiple gasps of disbelief and shock. Mitsuri was stunned, her cheeks flushed as she squealed excitedly. Oh my gosh! She covered her mouth with both hands, eyes sparkling. He's acting so cute! I wonder how he got a partner in the first place!!
Tengen put a hand on his chest, frowning at the embarrassed Hashira, who avoided his gaze and opted to take interest in the pebbled ground instead. "And you didn't even invite any of us to the wedding!?" He exclaimed, Mitsuri nodding in agreement, now pouting.
The tips of his ears grew redder, biting the inside of his cheek as he debated whether to answer truthfully or not. "...I thought... it wouldn't matter..." He muttered, facing his whole body away from them, letting out an awkward cough.
"HAH!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WOULDN'T MATTER!?" Yelled Tengen, crossing his arms as he shot more questions to the poor Hashira. Mitsuri audibly whined, hands on her pinkish cheeks, pouting even more. "That's so unfair, Tomioka-san! I never knew you had a lover, let alone married!"
Shinbu clicked her tongue, shaking her head as she tried to keep a smile on her face. She's absolutely baffled at the fact someone would be interested enough in him to even consider being in a relationship with him. She can't even stand him herself, she marvels at your patience. "Geez, Tomioka-san, you must really hate us!" She sardonically teased, poking his cheek.
Giyuu flinched, turning down his head and shying away. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible, and the fact that when he glanced at Oyakata-sama, he was listening in amusement, smiling widely. "It's... not that..." He tried to defend himself, ultimately failing in doing so, for he can't even think of a good excuse.
"Either way, congratulations Tomioka-san!" Chirped Kyojuro, slapping his hand on his shoulder rather harshly, almost making Giyuu topple over. "I never would've thought you'd get married so early!" He let out a friendly, cheerful laugh, patting his back. He's right, getting married at 21 can be considered late during this period, but as a Hashira, 21 is very early! They're expected to get married at least when they're retired! "They look rather charming too, how lucky of you!"
Giyuu found himself nodding over Kyojuro's words. Despite his loudness, he's the only person that's harboring his frantic mind after he was unwillingly pushed into the spotlight. "A-ah, thanks?" He stuttered, giving Kyojuro an awkward glance. The Flame Hashira didn't mind at all, his grin widening.
"Congratulations, Tomioka-san, I pray for a long and healthy marriage." Gyomei offered him a comforting smile with tears trailing down his cheeks, rubbing the prayer beads in his hands together. He's absolutely overjoyed at the fact that Giyuu found someone to spend his life with. "Nami Amida Butsu,"
While everyone crowded around Giyuu, poking him for more answers, Obanai and Sanemi stayed in their spots. While irritated at the sudden revelation with Giyuu, Sanemi couldn't help but smirk at his friend, turning his gaze to him. "Looks like Tomioka got married before you can even ask Kanjori out," He mocked him, making the Snake Hashira glare daggers at him, grumbling under his breath and seething.
Kagaya let a small laugh slip past his lips, smiling brightly at his dear children. It caught their attention, kneeling back down on the ground and apologized to Oyakata-sama for their actions. He turned his head towards where he assumed Giyuu was, "I hope you liked our wedding gift, Giyuu." Kagaya had to hold back another laugh as he heard his cute swordsmen turn to Giyuu once more. He took a mental note to apologize for the poor Water Hashira later on. "My family enjoyed your spouse's cooking."
"EH!?"
"Tomioka-san, that's so unfair of you! How did you two fall in love!? Who asked out who!? How long have you been married!? Please tell me!!"
"THE NERVE- WE'VE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER FOR YEARS NOW-!"
"My, my~ I wonder if they visited the Butterfly Estate before! I hope they stop by again~"
"Oh? Oyakata-sama likes their cooking? I hope I get a taste in the future!"
Giyuu's face burned, hiding his face in his hands. You'll just love to hear about what happened once he gets home.

I'VE READ SHT LIKE THIS BEFORE AND I'M SO DKCCHOWCHDOVJLDCHDO ILY ANON~ /P I finally got around to writing my requests~ All I needed was to write a 4k word fic for Sanemi LOL Thanks for reading everyone~ I love you all~/p Have a good week~!!

I love the reveal in Over the Garden Wall that the story isn't actually set in the past but that Wirt has been going through this whole adventure in a shitty last minute Halloween costume he threw together and only half intended for other people to see him wearing. Imagine travelling through a creepy magical forest that seems to be stuck in the 1800s for several days while being hunted by an evil shadowy tree man who wants your soul but you're wearing an old power ranger mask from 2008 and a cape that's just a beach towel. That's pretty much what Wirt's outfit is equivalent to and that's such a big mood
Also, this isnt like a fun headcannon this is damn near a quotation. Eowyn was literally holding the dudes hands and staring into his eyes professing her love and the dumbass thought she was talking about Aragorn. He responded along the lines of “But Aragorn wont be back from the black gate for like a week, so in the meantime its nice to hang out and just look at how pretty you are”
I know its a meme but they really are the epitome of “Couple that shares one collective brain cell”
Glaladriel: Aragorn why are there orcs in lothlorien who have you brought me this time I swear to god if you keep dragging trouble in- *she turns and sees the four hobbits, dwarf, and baby elf*
Galadriel: Nevermind I love them have some presents.
