My Dearest Sasuke,

How's everything going? I hope finals aren't wearing you down too much. Your cousin told me you're such a perfectionist. He seems to think it's a bad thing, but I think it's kind of cute. Look at me. A thirty year old man using the word cute with a rifle in his lap. Oh the irony. We should be getting sent back soon. It hasn't been a definite thing, but so far so good. Perhaps we might actually get to meet. That is if you want to meet an old timer like myself. I appreciate that you've been writing back to me these past months. You've kept me sane.

I'm dying to know what you look like. But I told you I wanted to wait for the real thing. I just hope I don't have to wait too long... I don't really know what else to write. I have a lot of stories, but none that I want you to hear. I can't wait to go home and sleep. YOu can join me as well if you'd like. I hope you can spend a few days with me when I get back. In your last email you weren't too sure. You've told me how your dad can be. I wish he would stop being so critical. I hate how upset you get.

I know you probably don't want to hear this. But I think I'm falling for you. I'm sorry if that makes you feel uneasy. Of course I would understand if you wanted to take a stepback from all of this as well. Afterall, you're young and don't need to be wasting your time on someone as old as myself. Anyways, I hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Kakashi,

You worry too much. I aced all my classes though. Well, almost all of my classes. I got a D in gym. It's not because I suck at sports or anything. I just don't like to play on a team with a bunch of people I don't like. And yeah you're a little too old to be saying cute. It's weird. I do wanna meet. My dad fucking hates me right now. But I'm sure I'll be able to get away for a week. I'll make something up. He's ontop of me about school shit, but he doesn't really care about my personal life. I mean, if he had it his way, I'd have no life. Which I'm really not far from it, but I get a bit of leeway. He's more worried about what my brother is doing.

Are you really sure that you're falling for me? Maybe you're just lonely. I could say that same thing about you though. You don't need to be wasting your time with some random kid. And I'm not trying to step away from anything. You're the only person who has come close to really understanding me. My cousin was smart in persuading you to write me.

So, I know you probably don't care, but last night I found a turtle walking in the middle of the street. I didn't know what to do with him, so I brought him home with me. I named his Kakashi Jr. Don't hate me for it. Haha.

I really hope you come home soon. It scares me more and more that the emails will stop. Please stay safe and alive.

-Sasuke ;)
