Dean woke up the next morning and got dressed and got his breakfast. He ate alone as usual. It's been three months since he was deployed and he had not made one friend, besides Unknown, but he doesn't count because they are friends through letters. Dean shook his head and ran his hand through his shaved hair. I just want to go home. He wanted to cry, but he kept his composure.

When he was done with patrolling he walked back to the tent and noticed a piece of paper sticking out from under his pillow so he quickly walked over to his bed and grabbed the paper.

Dear Dean,

I'm glad my letter made your day. I can tell you things about me, but I can't tell you what I look like. You also seem like a cool guy. If you don't mind me asking, what happened to your parents? My favorite color is green, my favorite food are also cheeseburgers, and I don't have a favorite band, I do like classical music, though. Now, my turn. Where were you born? How old are you? Favorite TV show? I was born in Lawrence, Kansas, I am 26 years old, and I don't have a favorite TV show.

Sincerely Yours,

Unknown Soldier

P.S. You're welcome.

Dean chuckled and started writing right away.

Dear Unknown Soldier,

Aww, come on. Give me a specific feature. Please, pretty please! Eye color, hair color, height, doesn't matter! Haha! You don't have to answer that. My parents died when I was four and Sam was six months. They died in a house fire, specifically the house we were living in. My dad told me to take Sam and hurry out of the house. My dad went back to get my mom, but they never made it out. Bobby took us in right away. Well, anyways, I was also born in Lawrence, Kansas, I am 28 years old, and my favorite TV show is Dr. Sexy M.D. Hey, maybe when we get shipped back home, we can get a cheeseburger together? Okay, so, what do you like to do in your free time? Favorite sport? What happened to your parents? I like to sit and watch the stars, my favorite sport is football, and I already told you what happened to mine.

Sincerely Yours,

Dean W.

P.S. I am really wanting to go home. I don't have any friends. You're kind of a friend, but only through letters.

Dean folded the letter and put it under his pillow and let his head drop onto the pillow. He hid his face in his hands and cried silently.


Dean woke up a couple hours later and found that his letter was gone. Really? He goes ahead and takes the letter while I'm sleeping? Dean shook his head and wiped his eyes. He looked up and spotted a man two beds away with black hair that was shaved at the sides and bright, shining blue eyes looking at him.

"Hello," Dean said awkwardly.

"Hi," the man said with a smile. "Winchester, right?"

Dean chuckled. "It's Dean, but yes, I'm Winchester," he chuckled again. "You're Novak?"

The man rolled his eyes at the mention of his last name and nodded. "Castiel Novak."

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Castiel," Dean said with a smile.

Castiel smiled. "Nice to meet you, too... Dean."

An hour later, it was time for dinner so they walked out of the tent together but Castiel stopped.

"Hey- um- I have to go check something real quick. Wait here, 'kay?" Dean nodded and watched Castiel walk into the tent and a few seconds later, he walked back out of the tent and smiled at Dean. "Okay, I'm ready."

They walked to the dining hall together and got their dinner. They ate in a comfortable silence, smiling every once in a while at each other. When they were done eating, they walked back to the tent and when Dean saw a piece of paper sticking out from under his pillow, he swiftly walked up to his bed and grabbed the paper.

Dear Dean,

I have black hair. That's all you're getting. My parents also died when I was four, but they died in a car accident. Drunk driver. My sister, Anna and my brother, Gabriel, raised me. So, we've grown up in the same state and city. Hmm... We're two years apart, so you might have seen me around. Who knows. Your favorite show is Dr. Sexy M.D.? Oh, boy. No comment. Yeah, I'd like to get a cheeseburger with you when we get shipped back home. I like to watch the sunset, my favorite sport is soccer, and I already told you what happened to them. Favorite animal? Favorite accessory (i.e. a necklace, earrings, etc.)? Favorite time of the day? My favorite animal is a dog, I like to wear my dad's watch, and my favorite time of the day is nighttime.

Sincerely Yours,

Unknown Soldier

P.S.I think we all do.

P.P.S. Were you crying, Dean? I saw tear streaks on your face. It'll be okay. You'll be home in no time.

Dean sighed before grabbing paper and a pen and started writing.

Dear Unknown Soldier,

Black hair? That's all I'm getting. Like that'll help. Haha. Can't believe we both lost our parents at the same age. Yeah, we might've seen each other. Oh, don't judge me. It's a great show. I'll have to show it to you sometime. Haha. My favorite animal is a dog, I like to wear my mom and dad's wedding rings on a necklace, and my favorite time of the day is nighttime also.

Sincerely Yours,

Dean W.

P.S. I was. I wish I never joined the army. But then I would've never met you.

Dean smiled and folded the letter and put it under his pillow. He had a good feeling about this.
