A/N 1: Hi, everyone! :) I just want to thank the ones who read my first slash story, A Wish Upon A Shooting Star. I was thrilled to see how many people read it in the first week! :) So, lemme get down to it. This story was actually inspired by the song Unknown Soldier by Breaking Benjamin. If you listen to it, the song doesn't go along with the theme of this story. It does in a way, but not really.

Warning: Will have sexual content in later chapters, there will be swearing, and just a little bit descriptive of the battle field. It is slash! Romance in later chapters!

Enjoy the story! :)

Dear Dean,

I know you're confused as to why this letter was sent to you and who sent it to you. Well, I can't tell you who sent it, but I am a soldier like you and I'm in your troop. This letter was sent to you because I see you everyday looking even more worse than the day before. I can tell you're stressed out. You're not alone, Dean. We all are. All I can say is just keep your head high. In my honest opinion, being a military soldier is the most stressful job ever. And people say the president has a stressful job. The president actually has it easy. Bodyguards, endless food supply, family, etc. We only have other troop members, our food supply isn't very much, our family isn't with us, etc. But, the only thing keeping us going is the thought of seeing our families again. I've heard from the other units that you only have a brother and an uncle? I don't know how they found out, but I feel bad. I can sympathize with you on that. I only have a brother and a sister, and they've taken care of me since I was four years old. Anyways, I feel like I should at least be kind to you and give you some information about me. I am male, and I'm quite shy. That's all I'm going to give you. I will reveal myself on the day we are being shipped back home.

I hope this letter made your day, but it probably didn't. At least consider what I said. You're not alone, we're all stressed.

Sincerely Yours,

Unknown Soldier

P.S. Write back, please.

P.P.S. Just put your letter under your pillow and I'll pick it up whenever I can.

Dean stared at the letter a little longer, wondering why this man sent him this letter. It was quite odd that a troop member sent him the letter. But, nonetheless, he was happy that he finally made a friend. He sighed before putting the letter back in its envelope and put it safely in his duffel bag. He decided he'd write back later.

"Winchester! You're on patrol!" said his troop's captain.

"Yes, sir!" Dean answered.

Dean put his camo jacket on and hat and grabbed his weapons. He inhaled and exhaled. 'I can do this,' he thought.


Dean was tired, really tired. He took a quick hot shower before going into his tent and laying down on his bed. He then remembered that he was supposed to write a letter back to the Unknown Soldier, so he grabbed some paper and a pen and started writing.

Dear Unknown Soldier,

Your letter did make my day. I felt so much better and I was so excited to get done with my patrol just so I could write this. I wish you could tell me more about yourself. You seem like a cool guy. I have to agree with you that the president does have it easy. I wonder how people found out about me only having a brother, his name is Sam and he's four years younger than me, and no, the man isn't my uncle, Bobby is my dad's longtime friend. He's raised Sam and I for pretty much our whole lives. So.. I have a few questions, if you'll allow me to ask. What's your favorite color? Favorite food? Favorite band? My favorite color is blue, my favorite food are cheeseburgers, and my favorite band is AC/DC.

Sincerely Yours,

Dean W.

P.S. Just put your letter under my pillow whenever I'm not around, okay?

P.P.S. I just wanted to say thanks.

Dean didn't bother putting the letter into an envelope and just folded it up and put it under his pillow. He sighed as he laid on his back and closed his eyes. He fell asleep with a smile on his face.


A/N 2: So... whatcha think? :D It's short, I know. But, this is just the beginning. I want to know if I should continue or not. The story may be short, I'm not sure. Review please. :) No flames please, I burn easy. :'c If any of you that read this have been in the army, I'm sorry if I have things wrong. I did research, but I hope that you give me credit for trying? :D
