Pairing/Character: Dennis & Sora
Prompt: Childhood
"Cool! Look at what my parents sent me!" a Red soldier yelled from across the dorms.
"So nice, mine only sent me cheesy letters."
"Mine are still not allowed to even call me…"
"Complete a mission and stop whining then."
Back during his days as a newcomer, Dennis had devoured on those anecdotes like starving man.
Little snippets here and there that made him think of a warm home, home-made meals and a maybe a couple of siblings to laugh, tease and brawl with, someone to read to him at night, to take care of him when he felt sick or sad.
It didn't take too long for the yearning to turn into bitterness.
A small, tempered and realistic side of him tells him that his comrades are not in any way dangling their memories - their happiness - in front of him on purpose, that they didn't knew how lucky they were.
"Hey did you hear about Hana? She was allowed to have a family visit because of her grades!"
It's no longer as effective as it used to be.
Whe he reaches his room, Sora throws into his bed yet another letter and care package that arrived just this morning.
He already ate the cookies and read the letter, things have not changed too much back at home.
'Home'
The word falls flat in his person even as he says it out loud.
Sora often wonders if he should be worried about this, about being gone for so long that you often forget how to miss people.
'I don't wanna go!'
'You'll be back before you notice, be good Sora!'
'Daddy!'
'Whatever' he will write an answer to the next one, he decided as he dumped the letter on his trashcan.
