The Betrayed And Forgotten. (Azur lane x USS Montana) [SLOW UPDATES]

Chapter 7: Off Time.

Montana stared out of his bridge windows, today was a nice day. The gentle blowing of the wind calmed him. Going back into the bridge of his ship. Montana took a look around and found that some of the electronics were modified, though he didn't mind.

Looking at the labels around multiple electronics, he chuckled lightly as he saw multiple translation errors. Going to a storage closet at the back of the bridge, Montana opened the steel door. A cold wind blew out of the closet as Montana turned on the swinging light above him.

The sight that he saw before him brought back fond memories. It was a record player and multiple records alongside it. Going up to the record player, Montana plucked out a record and looked at the sleeve that held the black disc.

Frank Sinatra, Montana's personal favorite. Putting the disc on the record player and turning it on, Montana gently moved the needle over and set it down. The music suddenly filled the interior of his ship, echoing through the intercom and steel hallways.

Taking a deep and content sigh, Montana walked down some metal stairs to the lower floors. Walking along the hallways with Frank Sinatra playing as he ran his fingers against the cold metal of the walls.

It had been a long while since Montana had a reason to walk into the Captain's quarters. Looking around he saw a wooden desk with a chair and lamp, a simple and clean bed, and of course a personal bathroom.

Montana liked staying in this room, and while he was grateful for the house he was given by the Sakura Empire, he decided to stay in his ship for a few days and get used to the changes in his ship.

Taking a deep breath. Montana took his coat off and set it on a chair as he went into the bathroom, as he was walking past the mirror above the sink he suddenly stopped and backed up to look at himself.

Looking and touching his face, he ran his hands over his chin and felt the beard that had begun to grow. Montana stared at himself in the mirror for a few moments before taking off his coat, shirt, and hat before pulling out a Razor, an electric shaver, and some shaving cream from the sink cabinet.

Taking a look at his chest, he saw that it was the same as it always was. He had a slightly muscular build and no noticeable marks. Turning on his electric shaver he began his shave, taking great care not to miss any spots on his face.

Putting some shaving cream onto his hand he went about covering his neck with the white foam. Once he was finished he picked up the Razor and began to shave his face gently, heavily focused on not cutting his face.

It had taken him a while to complete his shave, but once it was done he was satisfied with himself as he felt his smooth skin. Looking into the mirror he noticed the messy mop of hair in his head.

'I need a haircut.' Montana thought to himself as he ran his fingers through his hair. Taking a deep and sad sigh, Montana cupped the dog tags into his hand and sat there in silence for a moment before he threw on a t-shirt and went to the kitchen inside his ship. Leaving both his coat and hat behind as he went.

Going to one of the many aluminum sinks around his kitchen, Montana washed his hands and put on some gloves, an apron, and a bandana before going around and getting out ingredients and cooking items. He quietly looked at the items he had prepared picked up a knife and began to cut vegetables.

As he was cooking, Montana suddenly heard a hollow metal knocking behind him. Turning around Montana was pleasantly surprised to see the two fox sisters outside the door staring at him. "Well? Are you gonna stand there and stare at me or are you gonna sit down and wait for some food?" Montana said with a light chuckle and a cheeky smile as he went back to cooking.

The fox sisters shared a look as Akagi give Kaga a smile, causing the white fox to let out a sigh and for both of them to come in and sit down at one of the many tables around the mess hall. They watched Montana coon and even noticed the music that seemed to be playing on repeat. The smell of Montana's cooking reached their nose, causing Kaga's ear to twitch at the delicious smell.

Akagi remained still, with her smile on her face and a smug look alongside it, claiming some sort of superiority over her sister. She had failed to notice the drool that escaped her mouth at the smell though. Montana let out a small chuckle at both of their reactions before he pulled out more ingredients and continued to cook. The process wasn't very long, but it was still agonizing for the sisters as they continued to smell all the ingredients that Montana was cooking with.

He took note of how quiet they had been, not speaking a word to him. It had made Montana think back to Azur Lane and the treatment and disrespect he had faced obliviously. Shaking his head at the thought he put the final touches on the food he had prepared.

Picking up the plates full of food he carefully set the plates down. Kaga and Akagi both looked at the food on the plates, it looked very appetizing. Stabbing some meat and vegetables they both ate the food in which they fell into silence.

Montana smiled as their eyes went wide and they quickly started eating, him following soon after. They all sat in silence with music playing in the background as they ate. Kaga and Akagi quickly finished their meals and shared a look as Montana picked up the plates and went to the kitchen to clean them.

His mind went into thought and reminisced on his time at Eagle Union. A smile fell upon his face at the memories before a gentle smile replaced his frown. The people of Sakura are his family now, and while some of them don't trust him yet, he will prove to them that he is trustworthy and loyal. That is his mission now.

As Montana finished up cleaning the dishes he took of his gloves and got ready to clean the rest of the kitchen, he suddenly felt a hand on both of his shoulders. Turning around he was met face to face with the sisters. "Yea? Is something wrong?" Montana asked while looking between the sisters.

Suddenly they both got a look in their eyes as they grabbed him. It was at that moment that Montana realized what they were going to do as smiles appeared on their faces.

"No. No! NO! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO MEEEEEEE-" Montana was suddenly grabbed by the legs and dragged away from his ship while screaming.

Montana was later found in the Sakura Empire cafeteria, surrounded by dirty dishes.
