The Blacksmith: Azur lane x male reader

Chapter 3

Hey, I wanna ask. Are you guys enjoying this?

Also, just because I put that reader doesn't use weapons in the bio, doesn't mean he can't

Y/n POV

I groaned as I woke up.

I checked the time, seeing it was 7 in the morning.

So I got up, got dressed and shuffled my tired ass to the cafeteria.

I should not have stayed up till 6 working on Ayanami's ship. But at least all the plates are done for her.

When I reached step cafeteria, I saw people eating, talking and having a good time.

So I shuffled over to the counter, grabbed for mugs and filled them all with coffee. I then grabbed a plate of food and moved to an empty table.

I place everything down and sat. Then I downed two cups of coffee in seconds.

Belfast: Y/n?

I looked over, seeing Belfast with a plate of food.

Y/n: good morning Ma'am

She sat down next to me, looking down at her food.

Y/n: aren't you going to eat?

Belfast: I was actually getting this for you

She looked at me and I smiled.

Y/n: it's ok. But please eat, everyone needs food

I then kept eating my own food, but she barely touched hers.

Y/n: do I have to feed you myself?

I saw her face flush up before she picked up her fork and started eating.

I then kept eating, finishing everything and downing my second two cups.

Time skip

*CLANG*

I moved my hand to the top of the sledgehammer, before swinging down again.

*CLANG*

I rested the sledgehammer on its mallet, wiping the sweat away.

???: what's he doing?

??2: he's putting metal plates on her ship

I looked at the ship as I pounded the metal into position.

I sighed before sitting down.

This work is more exhausting than normal.

I looked back, seeing one of the repair ships going to each plate of metal and weld it in with a blow torch.

I sighed, before I grabbed another plate and went to another hole.

*CLANG*

I pulled the hammer back, before swinging away again.

*CLANG*

I pulled back again, about to strike it once more.

Then someone pulled the sledgehammer from my hands and they crashed to the ground.

I turned, seeing it was Wales. She was struggling to lift the sledgehammer.

Wales: how heavy is this?

Y/n: 20 pounds heavier than it should be, but with what I forging, I need to extra weight.

I then pulled the hammer from her grasp, lifting it easily.

Wales: how do you lift that?

Y/n: I'm use to it

*CLANG*

I was about to strike it, when she grabbed it.

Wales: take a break

I pulled it away.

*CLANG*

Y/n: you're not my father

She tried pulling it from me.

Wales: I'm a women, so why didn't you say mother?

I growled, trying to suppress those memories.

Y/n: none of your fucking business

I prepared to swing again before she forced the hammer from my hands then slapped me.

I growled.

Wales: answer me

Y/n: it's personal, too personal

She glared than sighed.

Wales: take a break. You've been working hard for your second day, and don't think I didn't hear your hammer all night

I cursed under my breath.

Y/n: I thought everyone was asleep

Wales: well, your hammering woke me up. You're lucky no one else was woken. Now take a rest. You did what was needed and the repair ships can finish up

Time skip

I sat down, watching at the repair ships finished working on Ayanami.

???: Blacksmith?

I turned, seeing Laffey, Javelin and Ayanami.

Y/n: Hello you three. Oh by the way, my name is Y/n

Javelin: well hello Y/n

Ayanami stayed silent, looking at her ship.

Y/n: may I ask what weapons you guys use? Javelin, you use a javelin. But what about you two?

Javelin: Laffey doesn't really use a specific weapon, just what her ship has-

Ayanami: I use a sword

Y/n: may I see it?

She nodded before I saw wisdom cubes appear in her hands before being formed into a sword.

She handed it to me and I started looking it over.

Y/n: dear god, have you never sharpened it?

Ayanami: but it's held up till now

I chuckled.

Y/n: I'll sharpen it and you'll see a noticeable difference in the cut. Trust me

She looked at me and nodded.

Javelin: if you're doing that, can you sharpen my javelin too?

I nodded.

Y/n: bring it over to my station and I'll have both of them done by the end of the day
