Dear Todd,

I hope the first week at Welton went well. I haven't talked to either of your parents much, but I'm sure they're doing good. I miss you, even though I know you haven't been gone all that long. It feels like its been forever, but it's only been a week. Have you made any new friends? Is your roommate nice? I'll kick his ass if he's not. You know I will. Any guys that you've decided to turn gay for?

Just don't leave me for another female and we'll be good. :)

My first week of school was torture without you. Though I don't want you to feel bad because I really really want you to have a good time over there. Cece says hi. She's as energetic as ever. I'm pretty sure she misses you too. She's all mopey and whenever we talk about you she perks up. Its not fair that my dog loves you more than she loves me! It's so not cool. I raised that child from a young little baby to the thing she is now, and no respect. Such a silly dog. Aunty Rayne said that we could go puppy hunting soon! I'm so excited and I know Cece will be happy to have another four legged friend to play with. I'm not sure what kind of dog yet. I'll get together some breeds then you can help me pick. By the way, I'm making you come puppy hunting with me. Our furry friend has to like you. Its a must.

I'd better wrap this letter up because I don't think you'll want to read like four pages of paper. Although you and I both know that I can very easily reach that many pages. ;)

I love you.

Tairyn

PS I love you more.

Todd was in his and Neil's room alone when he opened the letter. He smiled at the familiar, slightly messy, handwriting. He sat down to write a reply. Handwritten of course. It was their thing. They always wrote handwritten letters to each other because they believed that the more effort they put into the letters, the more it showed that they cared. At least they both liked to think so. Before Todd could even begin his letter, the door burst open. Todd panicked and opened his poetry book to a random page.

Neil walked into the room, with his usual lazy smile on his face.

"Hey Todd."

"Hey," he quietly murmured back.

"What're you doing?"

"Um. Just doing some reading for poetry."

"Oh cool." Neil made his way over next to Todd, when Todd realized he forgot to hide Tairyn's letter, "Need any help?"

"No, no I'm good."

It was just his luck that Neil would see the letter.

"What's this? This handwriting isn't yours." Neil picked up the letter and skimmed through it before Todd could retaliate, "Who's Tayrn?"

"Tairyn."

"Avoiding the question. Is she your sister?"

"No, uh. She's actually my uh. My girlfriend."

"No kidding! I had no idea! Good for you!"

Todd slightly smiled and gently took the letter back out of Neil's hands.

"Are you gonna respond?"

"Yeah. I'm getting ready to do that now." Todd answered.

"Well don't mind me. I'm going to get my Latin book and join the study group. Come down later yeah? But just be sure that you'll be interrogated later."

"Yeah. Sure."

With that, Neil grabbed his Latin book and left the room. Todd took a deep breath and then grabbed a clean sheet of paper.

Dear Tairyn,

The first week went well. Classes are going to be a bit challenging, but its doable. My poetry teacher, Mr. Keating, is the most exciting so far .I'm sure both my parents are doing well, like usual. I miss you too love. It feels like I've been gone for a lifetime doesn't it? I'm happy that my parents approve of us being together because they said they'd help me plan times to visit you. I've made a couple of new friends, not anyone really close yet though. My roommate's nice, don't worry about that. You don't have to do any ass kicking although I know how much you'd enjoy it.

No Tairyn, there is no one I've decided to go gay for. You're my one and only, you know that.

I'm sorry that school sucks. I wish I could be there for you, but we'll see each other soon, I promise. Tell Cece hi back for me. Of course she misses me more. I'm the best, and her favorite. Sorry love, I'm totally going to steal your dog from you and you both know it too. Oh no, are you going to make me help you with said puppy? It depends on the breed for whether or not I'll help you. I don't mind when you send me long letters, I love to read them. It makes me miss you less. :)

How are things staying with Aunt Rayne?

Has your dad been trying to contact you?

I hope your Aunt and Cece haven't been giving you too much trouble. That's my job. Cece's still so crazy because she's so young.

Please stay safe love. I know you hate being coddled but I do worry about you.

The dorm's very lacking in color. You want to draw me a picture? You're beautiful work will brighten up the place. No matter what it is.

I love you.

Stay strong.

Take your meds.

Todd

PS I love you most.
