(Third PoV)

Currently everyone is seen scrambling around Chaldea with bright smiles on their faces, some carrying boxes upon boxes of decorations and others taking those boxes and putting their contents up and on display and some can be seen decorating a tree with lights, ornaments and anything you could possibly imagine...why are they doing this you may ask. The reason for such is its Christmas time. And every single individual that resides here plans on celebrating it...some more than others, one such individual is one of two masters of chaldea's servant forces...and that man has every intention to make this christmas a special one for a specific servant.

(Y/N PoV)

Currently I'm rushing my way over to my workshop i've set up here...not the one for magus...while also dragging along a inconspicuous box of materials i need to make what i have in mind for a christmas gift...yes i know im late with presents but i realized too late that i was short on some materials so i had to blast rush a random singularity with Emiya, who has been helping me keep this from her knowledge, while also giving me pointers on part two of my gift which he has more experience with than I do...apparently since he's not here...Emiya has taken the role of guide for me...knowing my life and all, I really appreciate all he does...But back to what I was doing, as in making my way over, I run into our second resident master and good friend of mine, Ritsuka Fujimaru, who seems to be running into a issue involving a certain saber servant, this servant is known as Nero Claudius, and it seems our umu is unhappy about something and is throwing a tantrum.

"Hey Ritsuka, What seems to be the problem?" I called out. This grabs Ritsuka's attention who then directs me toward our sad umu.

"She's upset that she can't wear her santa costume." He stated. At this I sweatdropped, reason is I was currently tasked to 'play santa' this time around, Ritsuka knew this and tried his best to stabilize the situation...but Nero was having none of it.

"Why can't I play santa for once?! It's not fair!" Our little umu cried. Tears all too apparent, seeing her like this especially at christmas time, is heartbreaking. Everybody should have a bright smile on their face and should be joyful. I look to Ritsuka, who seems to know what I have in mind, look back towards Nero and speak.

"Well, how about this? You can wear your santa outfit and you can play Mrs.Claus. Sound good?" at this our little roman umu's expression did a complete 180, and she nearly knocked me to the ground giving me a hug.

"Yay, thank you, praetor #2" Nero Gleefully thanked me.

"Now Nero, we should let Y/N get back to what he was doing...Oh by the way, Artoria was looking for you, should I tell her where you're going?" He questioned.

"No I want to surprise her, and if she saw what was in that box...she would immediately know what I have planned." I replied.

"Gottcha, is that all from camelot?" He inquired.

"Yes..."Was my immediate response.

"Oh so that's what you were scheming...you're such a kindred spirit, you know that."

"So mind keeping where I'm at a secret?"

"No problem, my lips are sealed."

"Thanks, by the way..."

"Hmm....?"

"Here's the gift you asked me to make for Mash...was kinda difficult cause its not something I'm used to making...but i hope she likes it."

"Thanks man, you're a lifesaver."

I go grab my box of mats and continue heading towards my workshop...as soon as I arrive, there stands Artoria, who somehow hasn't noticed me yet, I retreat to behind the corner, evading her scanning gaze and mentally curse this stroke of bad luck, while I am hiding from Artoria, Emiya and Mordred, who were having a nice conversation a little ways away seem to notice me and walk their way over and nearly give me a heart attack.

"Something wrong, Y/N?" Emiya asked me.

"Gah....!" Their sudden appearance makes me drop my mats box which Mordred quickly catches.

"Oh H-hey Emiya, Mordred, how are you two doing?" I asked after catching my breath.

"We're fine, but you haven't answered my question...." Emiya Stated.

"Right....well you see..." I start, trying my best to keep an eye on Artoria's location, who seems to have not moved an inch from her 'guard post'.

"Does this have something to do with father?" Mordred asked, putting two and two together.

"Yes...currently Artoria is right outside my workshop, and if she were to see what I have in my hands, she would know what her gift is...why is her clinginess causing me trouble now of all times...curse my luck."

At this Emiya and Mordred poke their heads around the corner, spot Artoria put two and two together, look at one another, determination prevalent on their faces, and look back to me and speak.

"So you need Artoria to be away from your workshop right?...well then why don't we help you with that." Emiya stated, a smirk barely escaping.

"Yeah, I needed father help with something anyway." Mordred added.

"Really?! You both are lifesavers!" I thanked them both, catching them in a hug.

"Well, then Mordred mind getting your 'father' to the cafeteria? I was meaning to have her test some cookies I recently made." Emiya said, while sending choice glances my way...which confused me but I shoved it off...what I dont know wont kill me...right?

"Sure, I was planning on asking 'father' about the thing anyway." Mordred replied, while also sending choice glances in my direction. Emiya seemingly picking up on what she was on about.

'What are you two planning?' I wondered. Before I could question either of them they walked over to Artoria, started a conversation and slowly but surely enticed her away from my workshop. I mentally noted that I would thank them properly later, grabbed my mats box, went into my workshop and started my 'Project'.

(Third PoV)

We now jump to Artoria who, accompanied now by Emiya and Mordred, make their way to the cafeteria, which standing in the middle of it was a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, anything you could imagine being on a Christmas tree, is on this tree. Lights, tinsel, ornaments of all shapes and sizes... you name it, it's there. This always caught Artoria by surprise, a pleasant surprise, but a surprise nonetheless. But that didn't change the fact that her worry about that special someone was nowhere to be seen, where was he she wondered, what could he be doing? But she's pulled from that train when Mordred starts asking her questions, to which she definitely had answers to.

(Artoria PoV)

"What does Y/N enjoy most?" Mordred asked, this was surprising, the first thing she asks involves him, probably because she has no idea what to give him as a gift.

"Well...He enjoys music, he loves cooking and says both help him calm his nerves. Then there's his love for all manner of weapons...though he seems to dislike firearms, he always says that they aren't honorable means when used...and remind him of past issues..." I responded, and in the corner of my eye, I noticed Archer taking notes on a notepad, while intently focusing on our conversation. Seems he also was having issues with gift ideas....

"Has he spoken to you about anything in specific?" Mordred continued.

"Well...he has expressed his concern for his brother's well being..." This catches Archer's attention, if the look on his face has anything to say about it.

"That and his joy that his relationship with Rin is smooth sailing...For your information, he bet his life on the fact that they would get together." This gets a faint blush out of Archer...why that is I don't know.

"Well that's Y/N for you, looking out for everyone's well being...much at the expense of his own." Archer stated.

"So he likes music and any matter of weapon other than firearms..." after a bit a light bulb could be seen floating above her head.

"Light bulb..." She muttered.

"What are you scheming?" Archer inquired.

"He likes Swords right?...Well then Archer...think you could make a sword he would enjoy?"

"Most definitely...I assume that's your angle?"

"You would be correct."

"And Artoria...think you could help me with something real quick?"

"Sure." I replied as he guided me to his quarters.

"Wait here a moment." He stated as he went into his room, only to moments later walk out with a beautifully crafted guitar.

"So that's what you got him." I said, putting two and two together.

"Yes, I just wasn't sure if he already had one or not."

"You were probably thinking about the piano he has in his quarters." I stated.

"And if i may be so bold...what did you get him?"

"Something he would cherish...that much I'm certain of."

"Is it what I think it is?" Archer questioned, seemingly catching onto my scheme.

"I don't know...is it?" I shot back, trying to play coy.

"You really do care about him don't you?"

"After everything he's done for me...all the pain he's had to endure...I feel that it was most appropriate." I stated, feeling my face heat up slightly, despite the cold weather.

"Well then...I'm certain he will cherish it for years to come." He stated with a smile.

"Yes...I'm sure he will."

A day has passed since then. And currently we see every single servant and staff member gathered in the cafeteria, chatting about whatever is on their minds. Nero running around playing the role of Mrs.Claus perfectly. But one servant is currently Eagle eying the door, this servant is Artoria Pendragon, First and most cherished servant to Y/N Who is nowhere to be seen. This will soon be rectified.

(Y/N PoV)

Currently I'm standing in front of the doors to the cafeteria, bag of presents in hand, costume all in order, and my nerves frantically trying to stay level...Mash to my right and Ritsuka to my left.

"Relax, I know this is a first for you...knowing you're not a fan of being in the spotlight but Salter and Santa Lily were unable to fill the role due to what they had planned..." Ritsuka stated.

"I know...but that doesn't make this any easier...or less embarrassing..." I said meekly.

"Well should we get started, then?" Mash asked. I take a deep breath, straighten out my outfit, and respond.

"We shall." I then opened the doors, when I did I felt everyone's attention get directed right at me.

"Merry Christmas!" We Cheered as we walked in.

"Merry Christmas!" Everyone Cheered back, everyone except Artoria, who seemed downcast. Seeing this I look to Ritsuka and Mash, who both usher me her way. As soon as I am standing in front of her, she looks at me, confused as to why I'm in front of her.

"Artoria..." As soon as I say this, Artoria's eyes widen.

"Y/N?! Why are you the santa?" She questioned. Seems someone neglected to inform my little Pendragon about this change of events.

"Cause Santa alter and Santalter lily weren't able to. But that does not change the fact that you aren't smiling...what's the matter?" I asked, taking a seat next to her.

"I was unable to find you yesterday...I thought I lost you."

"I'm fine...just had some last minute things to deal with..."

"Don't you run off like that again...if something were to have happened to you,I wouldn't know what to do..."

"Don't worry, it won't happen again..." I wrap her in a hug.

"It better not..." She pouted.

"Anyways... Lets get them gifts rolling shall we?" I asked rhetorically, knowing the answer.

(Timeskip brought to you by Chibi Santa Y/N)

After everyone got their gifts, Emiya a specialty Cooking set, along with a few select Blades he could make use of, Mordred a Special set of Armor that is similar to her original set, but it stores the kinetic and magical energy of whatever hits it and after a short duration, releases it in a retaliatory AoE Blast. Which made Mordred Giddy thinking of the applications. Ritsuka got a Hand crafted mystic code that amplified his magecraft. Mash got a Specialty bracelet that also served to strengthen Her NP.

And many more. It then came time for Artoria to receive her gift, who looked to me with sparkles in her eyes.

"Here you are. Hope you like it, whoever got you this really put in the effort to give it to you..." I told her, playing coy.

As soon as she got her hands on it she started opening it, when she finished, she was speechless...what was sitting in front of her right now...was a handcrafted silver gauntlet, much like her own, except it enhanced her already great capabilities, and what really stole her heart was what was engraved on it.

On the Gauntlet itself, written in bold letters it said.

To My Little Pendragon, who I cherish deeply may this be a sign of my undying devotion to you, and the symbol of my faith and love.

-Y/N

When she read this she broke into tears and nearly tackled me to the ground hugging me.

"Oh Y/N...Thank you so much..." She cried all the while her face buried into my chest.

"Anything for you...My Little Pendragon..." Everyone in the room looked at the scene with a bright smile on their face. Relishing the events currently transpiring.

"But I also have a gift for you..." Artoria stated, grabbing a beautifully wrapped box and handing it to me. I take it and say to her.

"Artoria...you know you didn't have to..." I start but am stopped when she speaks up.

"But I wanted to...and besides after all you went through and all you've done for me and everyone here...I believe you deserve at least this much...even though you deserve so much more." She said. At this everyone else seems to agree with that sentiment. Saying open it. I look back to Artoria, how can I say no when she's like this...

After a few seconds of collecting my nerves, I start to open the box, feeling all eyes on me for the second time today is not making this any easier...as soon as it's completely unwrapped...saying I'm speechless is a HUGE understatement cause what's in front of me stole my heart.

I'm currently holding in my hands, a locket...not just any locket mind you, it's a magical locket that seems to be able to project a holographic message in real time. What's inside it is a picture of Me, Shirou, Rin, and Artoria, all smiling while standing in front of our home, Shirou's arms wrapped around Rin, Artoria and me, while I'm childishly makig bunny ears behind Artoria and Rin's heads, much to Shirou's amusement if my memory serves me right. After a few seconds of silence, the locket starts to vibrate, which nearly gave me a heart attack and almost made me drop it. I look to Artoria who tells me to 'pick it up' like I'm answering my phone, when I do so, a holographic projection of Shirou and Rin can be seen.

"Merry Christmas! How are you doing over there? Doing Well I hope." Shirou stated. Saying I'm shocked would be a lie...I'm more than that...how much so I couldn't describe in words.

"Hey, I'm doing great now that I can talk to you both...How are things over there?" I asked, barely able to keep my composure trying not to embarrass myself.

"Things are going great, but what concerns me more is whether or not your taking care of yourself, being one of the saviors of humanity kinda doesn't leave much time to rest and calm down...kinda reminds me of back then when we got involved with the holy grail war."

"Well I'm most certainly trying...It's just hard not having you guys around."

"Well at least we can keep in touch now...knowing you if we don't you might just break." Rin said.

"Hey! Your acting as though I'm that fragile, I'll have you know I went one on one with Heracles earlier on and you want to know the outcome?! I beat him fair and square!"I snapped.

"All twelve times?"

"All twelve..."

"Well look at you go. Told you Rin, just goes to show you his will is ironclad." Shirou praised.

"Yeah yeah, never doubted him for a second..." Rin stated.

"Oh darn looks like we're running out of time, gotta get these a stronger charge, but at least they work. Anyways Happy holidays and tell Saber thank you for helping me get this to you." Shirou said.

"I will, and again it was nice speaking to you both."

"Same here, don't go doing anything crazy before we call in next." Rin said.

"Yeah yeah..."

"See you soon Bro."

"See you soon." after that the 'Call' ended.

After a few seconds of silence, I hug Artoria, tears falling down my face.

"Thank you...This means the world to me."

"No, thank you for all you've done. I hope this will lighten the burden you carry." She said, running her hands through my hair.

(Third PoV)

All in all This Christmas was definitely one to remember, for this showed the bond of a Master and Servant that is Unbreakable and Undeniable. Y/N and Artoria enjoyed themselves during the festivities and later in the night returned to their quarters and enjoyed a nice quiet night together, Y/N Playing his new guitar he got from Emiya who almost got knocked to the ground from Y/N who caught him in a hug, And Artoria sitting nicely nearby listening to the melodies played by her Master's hand. And in both their hearts, they knew the others feelings and each reciprocated them in spades. 

Author's Note #2 - There It is Folks. I will say this right now I almost made this chapter alone have over 4k words and to be honest....I don't regret attempting that, I really enjoyed writing this special chapter out and if I didn't have a set limit on how much I should write in one chapter I would have BLASTED this chapter past that. Just goes to show you how much I appreciate your support...but anyways tell me what you liked. What could I have done better? And Most importantly...A Very Merry Christmas to you all and A Very Happy New Year!
