Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of War of the Waves. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Azur Lane, Shanghai Manjuu, Ximen Yongshi and a few others do.

(Abandoned Island)

Leviathan sighed, knowing just how hard this talk was going to be and still? He couldn't do it very easily.

"So… what exactly do you want to talk about?" Tirpitz asked, she had also had a ditched her uniform for a bathing suit.

Leviathan didn't want to ask where she got a white swimsuit and sandals, just guessing she carried them in case she wanted to go swimming… he actually did have a few questions, but between her wanting to murder him and his anger at himself for tricking her.

"I want to point out that we do kind of have a war going on while this takes place…" Leviathan got a glare which made the living aircraft carrier sigh and look to the side.

He couldn't really say much without angering the girl… though to be fair, he wasn't very happy with the situation either. He knew when Bismarck found them, she'd rip through them like paper.

"I want to point out that I could kill you easily and almost nobody would care." Her tone sounded both clipped and yet still venomous.

He couldn't blame her to be fair. He did trick her into releasing him and now let the woman he was supposed to be fleeing catch up to him.

"Yes. I know… and yet I'm still surprised everyone is still trying to kill each other. This war ended with the obliteration of the Crimson Axis in my world." Leviathan stated, Tirpitz raised an eyebrow at her friend before nodding.

"So, it means our war ends with all of us dying, huh? I guess we're doomed to lose like we've been doing for decades." Leviathan raised a finger in confusion before lowering it.

Seriously? Decades? This war hadn't lasted that long in his dimension, it did still consume millions of lives, but DECADES? He couldn't fathom a war going on for that long.

"Decades? What war have you had that's been going on for tens of years? No war I've had or fought in has lasted decades." Leviathan watched Tirpitz sigh.

She always opened up to him, she wanted nothing more then to drive a blade through his chest, ending his existence, but it wouldn't be allowed.

Leviathan cracked his neck and rubbed at his head, standing up and walking into the knee-deep water.

"You know for a fact that things get a lot worse right? it isn't like what the Eagle Union is in my world is much better… we're constantly fighting other people, we always have to bare the blunt of the load and sometimes we come off as just being the bad guys." Leviathan turned his head to look at Tirpitz.

"Your country in my world had one of the worst dictators who committed a war crime that hasn't been topped ever since it happened, unless the Ironblood committed global genocide? I think you guys are much better off then how you guys were back home for me." He stated before pursing his lips, trying to make sure he was ok enough to talk more.

"We've never committed something like that… why do you constantly tell me stuff when you used me to break you out? You don't seem scared like you were when you fled." Tirpitz got a nod from the warrior before he turned to look back at the ocean.

"Because when I was doing that? I was scared. I was a human back when I was in the other world. You don't know what it's like to be so fragile, so scared and then run away from combat, do you? I didn't know what Bismarck was going to do to me when she got her hands on me… and I had no idea if I could trust the Eagle Union… then you happened." Tirpitz raised an eyebrow as Leviathan sighed and shook his head from side to side.

"You burrowed your way into me and never let go. I couldn't betray you without betraying my heart. I might hate what happened from your kingdom in my world, but you? you're not evil, you're not horrid or a monster who seems to wish the worst on people. you're a warrior, and I cannot consider that worthy of deceit… I stopped feeling happy I escaped after I realized I turned you into a pawn to do it in the process. It didn't help anything to escape at that point." Leviathan was joined by Tirpitz as the duo gazed at the setting sun.

The Eagle Union would be upon then soon. it would soon be too late to escape for them…. but they didn't care, they had each other and that was enough for them.

"You're a very strange warrior, you know that?" Tirpitz questioned, Leviathan hummed and nodded once more.

"Yes, and you are the most noble soldier I've seen from a faction I couldn't believe would do such things."

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out this story is going to get more infrequent updates. Next chapter will be in 2-3 weeks and will show Tirpitz and Leviathan meeting the Eagle Union again and Bismarck's plans along with her interest in Leviathan. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!

Ps: Next story is about Hiei or Graf.
