Ayano opens her eyes to see the familiar ceiling of her and Meliodas's bedroom.

"Ayano"

She looks beside her to see Meliodas sitting next to the bed, he stands up and puts his hand on her forehead.

"Meli?" Ayano looks confused

"Good your fever's gone" Meliodas sighs in relief "thank goodness, next time your sick you should tell me"

"I wasn't..." Ayano sits up "I'm fine now I feel good.. really good, the best I have in years"

"huh?" Meliodas looks confused before smiling "that's good"

"Meliodas" Ayano stands up, she puts her hand on his cheek and her eyes glow slightly as she looks into his eyes "are you alright?"

"of course" Meliodas replies "come on, let's get going, Merlin wants us all to meet at the old headquarters"

"Sure" Ayano smiles "be down soon"

"great" Meliodas grins and walks out of the room

'I knew it'

Ayano walks down stairs.

"H-Hey what are you wearing?!" Meliodas shouts surprised "your showing too much skin"

"So?" Ayano walks past him "let's get going"

"Ayano" Meliodas grabs her arm "what's up with you.. you haven't worn that in a long time"

"I'm surprised you still remember my old commandment dress" Ayano smirks 

"You were younger last time you wore it.. back when you were the commandment of desire.. and I thought it covered more" Meliodas says "is there a reason you're wearing it?"

"Of course" Ayano smirks and whispers in his ear "to remind us of something we've forgotten"

Meliodas looks confused and concerned "wha-"

"let's go" Ayano walks to the door

"but you're too hot for others to see~" Meliodas whines

Ayano giggles "but i'm your fiancé remember"

"Mine" Meliodas hugs her from behind and kisses her neck

"yes yes all yours" Ayano rubs his head

Meliodas and Ayano walk to the meeting place, the old fortress of the Seven Deadly Sins. They walk in to see everyone else already there.

"Hey, Merlin. What's the big deal with having us all meet up here of all places?" Ban asks.

"This morning... The king saw the omen once more," Merlin explains, "In broad daylight, the moon shines. When the low hanging mists drift into the royal Capital. At the peak of the castle where our destiny was set into motion by treason against the kingdom, Another moon shall appear, like the haze of heat... The Seven Deadly Sins will once again be united"

At that moment a portal opens and in walks Diane and King.

"King! Diane!" Ayano smiles

"Where the heck did you all pop out of?" Ban questions

"I'm so happy... Getting to see all of you again!! It really makes me wish... That the captain was still alive..." Diane says tearing up.

"Mmmmrf... I am alive..." Meliodas says from the rubble "Though your ass nearly crushed me flat..." 

Diane and King freak out a little.

The door to the fortress opens, "I've long been waiting for this moment..." Bartra's voice comes from the door, "At last, it seems you've all finally united," He reaches out to them, "The Seven..."

"GHOST CAPTAIN!!!" Diane and King scream

"They don't make ghosts that short and doofy," Ban points to him

Meliodas climbs out and takes his spot next to Ayano.

"It's just as Ban says, this is the real-deal-flesh-and-blood Captain through and through!!" Escanor says

Meliodas shrugs "lots of stuff happened and here I am"

"You're really alive!!" Diane shouts still crying

"That's way too short!!" King shouts and lowers down, "I got carried away with myself and misunderstood so much about you.. and I said all those horrible things... I...I'm sorry"

Meliodas and Ban go behind him

"Hey, King... What's up with these wings?" Meliodas asks.

"They're teeny!!" Ban says.

"Congratulations on finally growing a pair! Looks like you've joined us big boys at last. You'll make a fine grown man" Meliodas grins

"hahaha but this size is more like a little kid's set," Ban laughs

"Come on guys! I'm trying to be serious here!" King shouts at the two

So long story short because your author is lazy, Gowther got his magical heart back and the sins all regrouped back at the tavern. 

Later that night, everyone was outside the tavern. All 8 members of the Seven Deadly Sins sat together drinking and eating happily around a fire.

Escanor looks at Meliodas "Well then, Captain... Shall we all have another toast?"

"I can't believe all eight of us are actually all here" Ban says

"you said it" Ayano agrees "it's been years wince we've all been together at the same time"

Meliodas stands up getting everyone's attention, he smiles big and raises his mug "To the reunion of the Seven Deadly Sins!"

"CHEERS!" everyone cheers and drank some ale

Ayano looks down into her cup before staring up at the moon "It's almost time.. Zeldris"
