Saruhiko felt like crying when he got Misaki's response, but he would never cry for such a reason. He whispered 'I love you', before he opened it. Inside the envelop he found two pages of Misaki's big handwriting crammed into the little space the lines gave him. He smilled knowing at least Misaki was being his self and not trying to be 'cool.'
"Who are you smiling about Fushimi?" One of his bunk partners called out when they noticed the emotionless trainee was indeed showing the most emotion ever in front of them ever with the slight upturn of his lips as he looked at a letter. "Got your girl back home writing you?"
Saruhiko shook his head and took out what he needed to reply to 'his girl back home'. He wrote the first line and decided maybe he should answer his peers. "No. Just a friend back home." His heart still liked being able to say that they were a friend, even if it wasn't more than that at the moment.
"I see. Well my girl wrote me, my folks did too, but I like her's more." The man said as he stopped paying much attention to Saruhiko and began responding to his stack of letters. Saruhiko had noticed the man had many friends in the base, but more from the outside world always got in contact with him.
Saruhiko nodded, not too disappointed he didn't talk to his parents or have any friends. He had Misaki talking to him which was better than any crazy gene pool or traitorous guy. He reread the beautifully sloppy writing again before he wrote down his own slop on the paper.
Dear Misaki Yata,
Yes people have cried, but you shouldn't laugh at them for that. The stuff they are telling us is horrifying and honestly yes it is scary. I don't want to know in a battle I might have to leave a comrade screaming in agony because their wounds are too great and they'll just drag me down too.
It's hard to describe what it is like over here, but I'd say orderly. Everything is clean. Everyone has rules. No one can break these rules. It's like Annex 4's faculty on steroids and less severe punishment. It's safe though, a lot of planes.
What should I train in? I am thinking paratrooper because it sounds cool, maybe. I could also be a pilot, but spy planes aren't very interesting.
It surprises me how young Anna really is. She seems so wise, but she is still loosing baby teeth. My parents tried to get me to believe in the tooth fairy, but that only lasted for the first tooth and then they went back to ignoring my cute days. My parents had to have made you want parents even more huh?
No one is telling me anything besides how to fight with a gun because blades are useless. Apparently my fighting is too short-range for war and need to find an all new way. It would be really nice if you could tell me everything that is happening. When Munakata is fully conscious make sure you tell him that Awashima already punished me.
That is all. I am heathy and everything seems to be alright here. Please respond. Bye.

Saruhiko signed and packaged his envelope. "Well good luck replying to all yours." He said to the man still writing his responses and climbing out of his bed. "Need me to take any?" When the man shook his head no Saruhiko was out, racing towards the mailing area to get his letter in before they sent them out in an hour.
Author's Note: Okay so I am letting this progress slowly, but it's more heart felt that way. Saruhiko seems really quiet when he isn't pushing Misaki's buttons, so that's why his is the shortest. I know where I am going with this so yeah... Thank you for reading, and everything. Reviews for this makes me more inclined to do surprise updates, just sayin'. Thanks for everything~.
