And now, an excerpt from something that's going to be turned into a full length one-shot. Modern day au, of course.

Dork-Face,
You told me to write to you when I got here.
I'm here,
Ben

Ben! You don't have to be so rude! Didn't you know that you're not supposed to call people names in letters? You're supposed to be my friend, and friends don't call each other names! Finn says that it's just teasing and that you probably like me. I mean, I like you. Do you like me? Ah, wait no. Don't answer that. Forget I asked.
Anyways, I'm glad you got there safely, so now I don't have to worry about you being dead in the middle of a ditch or something. You took so long to write! Will you be visiting anytime soon? I really hope so. I miss fighting with you, school's just not as fun anymore. By the way, have you started school yet?
The other kids keep saying that they're glad you're gone. But I'm pretty sure that after today, they'll stop. I took care of it and broke some jerk's nose. I still got detention, but it was worth it.
Don't forget about me,
Rey

Doofus,
You know you don't have to worry about me. Well… worry about me that much anymore. I can take care of myself a whole 72% of the time. It's astounding, I know.
And when I got here, I was busy unpacking and organizing everything. Surely you remember how much I value organization.
Also, how can someone even miss fighting? Geez, you really are weird.
Those other kids are idiots. You're an idiot - a violent one at that. But you're my idiot, so at least there's that.
I start school next week, so by the time you get this I'll already be started. I can't really say when I'll be visiting, since you know, we just got here. But I'll be back.
As if I could forget you,
Ben
P.S. I do like you. Very much so. Wait, don't read too much into that.
