Gray snapped his eyes open.

Why?

Why was he still alive?

He should be dead. His final wish was to revert everything to normal. To finish everything. Everything that he started.

And yet, here he was.

"I wish to make a deal." A voice spoke from behind him.

Gray turned around, looking at the voice.

"Why would I ever make a deal with you? We both know what will happen." Gray smiled wryly.

"Because your contract won't be the same." The voice stated. "Besides, a friend of mine owes you a favor for saving her. Twice."

"I see." Gray smiled. "Then let's talk."

. . .

Gray smiled, sitting at the large table. "How's dinner going?" He asked.

"Good!" Tamamo cakes from the kitchen. "Has anyone arrived yet?"

Ding!

"Someone has now." Replied Gray.

Walking to the door of the apartment, he opened it to see the Tohsaka sisters. Behind them stood Archer, Artoria and Medusa.

"Come on in!" Gray smiled, letting them in.

"You really should get a larger place." Rin thought. "Like my mansion. Especially with the others. Speaking of them, where are they?"

"They went out. They're keeping Kuro busy so we could finish setting up the surprise party." Gray answered, gesturing to the birthday decorations adorning the apartment.

"What's left? We can help..." Sakura asked.

"Tamamo's just finishing the dinner. If you helped her with that, that would be great." Gray smiled.

Sakura nodded, shyly kissing Gray on the cheek before walking over to the small kitchen where Tamamo currently was.

"You three can go sit down." Gray continued.

"Thanks." Rin smiled, kissing Gray on the cheek as she walked past.

"Thanks." Medusa said, copying Rin and kissing Gray on the cheek as well.

Artoria silently kissed Gray on the cheek while blushing as she walked past.

"I'm never going to get used to that..." Gray muttered, holding his cheek.

"Don't worry, it runs in the family." Archer smiled, patting Gray on the shoulder as he walked past.

Ding!

Gray opened the door once again, this time to see the Emiya-Einzbern family, excluding Illya.

"Hey auntie, uncle." Greeted Gray.

"Hey Gray!" Iri smiled.

"Hey." Kiritsugu said.

He gave them a quick hug, before they walked on in to the apartment. As Sella and Leysritt passed, Gray gave them a nod, receiving one in return from both.
