AN: Awww…. I guess I'm just in a good mood. Set during Art of Music. B/T – Tony's POV. I should probably write more of what's going on with Tony over the summer, shouldn't I?

Language from Tony, but who's surprised? He's living with a bunch of drummers.

6). "Well, nobody's perfect." // 78.) "All I know is... you're beautiful."

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you,
Tomorrow I'll miss you;

Remember I'll always be true.

And then while I'm away,

I'll write home every day,
And I'll send all my loving to you.

I'll pretend that I'm kissing
the lips I am missing
And hope that my dreams will come true.
And then while I'm away,
I'll write home every day,
And I'll send all my loving to you.
All my loving I will send to you.

All my loving, darling I'll be true.

Flueger,

I know we said we would write as much as possible, but well, I think we both knew that wasn't going to be like any every day thing. Still, this is me trying… 'Cause I think it's important to you.

Okay, so now it's two weeks later (which means, it's almost the middle of June). It's been approximately 16 days since I've seen you and in case you didn't realize it, that totally sucks. It's much harder than last summer. Of course, last summer I really didn't have any clue what I was doing. Hell if I do now. I'd like to think I've learned a few things a long the way, but you can tell me what I still need to learn. I think it's funny I'm writing you because I wrote you a letter this time last year. I never sent it, I don't even know if I still have it – it was basically a big vomit of whatever fucked up feelings I had at the time. I'm really glad I never sent it because, well, anyway, I'm happy we're together - let's leave it at that.

What I want to go back and tell that kid… I want to tell him to stop wasting time, get over himself, and admit he has the world's biggest crush (yes, guys can have them too) on his drum line Captain. Running away isn't going to solve anything, and neither is ignoring the problem. I can't take anything back, Bronwyn, but if I could…

Of course (this is a few days later) I suppose I could always look at the big picture version of this. We're going to be together a long time – isn't that what you told me? So, what's one summer or a few months? I know you're doing what you need to do, and it's something, as a male drummer I don't think I'll ever understand. And in that, I hope you don't mind, but I've kind of kept the whole 'my girlfriend's the Captain of the new all female corps' to myself. I'm sure I don't have to tell you there's a lot of unprovoked smack talk surrounding the Cadettes (you know how drummers are)… I'd really just rather make this summer about the music and competition and not all controversy. I think I had enough of that in high school. So, it's hard, but I keep my comments to myself, because I know your drumming will talk for you when everyone when we see you. Really, I feel sorry for guys who didn't have girls like you on their Lines. They don't know how much they missed out…

Ahh…it's been another week and I still haven't sent this (well, nobody's perfect, right?). There are so many reasons I wish you were here. I miss everything about you and am beginning to wonder if the hours in the sun are starting to sap some of my favorite Bronwyn memories. Anyway, it's three in the morning and we're at some truck stop in Texas. I'm not even sure when this letter is going to catch up with you. I hope the guy actually puts this thing in the mail and I hope this letter finds you well. Actually, more than anything I hope I find you before this letter does, but I'm not really sure how the mail is going these days.

All I know is that you're beautiful and I can't wait to see you again.

Boop.

All my love,

Tony



AN: Letters (and any kind of mail, really) rock, BTW. Me and now Hubs were literally a world apart for a summer when we first started dating and I still have the lengthy e-mails / letters. Wonder where I put those…
