letters (ON HOLD)

1

October 9th 1942

Joshua and Tyler were outside of their home, sitting on the flaky emerald grass ,while josh held Tyler. The two boys gazing through the blue sky as Tyler got up leaving Josh's arms

"I'm heading inside to make us some lunch alright I'll be back"

Josh nods with a smile as Tyler heads inside of their cozy home and he sees some mail being dropped off. So josh walks to the little metal box, grabbing the small amount of mail that was there, although he passed through the letters of taxes and bills there was one specific letter labeled The United States Army.

Josh hesitated and thought it could've been sent to the wrong house or a mishap maybe,Who am I kidding?
He teared through the nice slick opening of the letter and held the letter on the palms of his hand, slowly reading the letter as josh adjusted he round metal frames.

Joshua William Dun,
You are drafted in the United States Army and have been placed to the First Battalion. We are short on men and will be needing your service.
October 12th , 1942 at 8 a.m. You will report to the bus station which will lead you to Manhattan and a flight to France,  you're first training will be there.

His anxiety was rushing through him, Josh could feel the circulation through my veins pumping rapidly. He didn't know what to do at that moment. Until Josh saw his admirable boyfriend Tyler bringing out a little basket with two glass cups full of his raspberry tea, Josh seeing Tyler settle the basket down and the cups of tea, he waved to Josh to come with him and Josh did. Except Tyler asked about the letter. Josh had little sweat covering his palms as he kept wiping them on his grey chinos.

Tyler stared at the paper as if he saw a puppy die in front of him. Tyler started crying. Josh did too. They cried because they were scared and just worried what can happen.

Josh and Tyler are their lunch in silence afterwards. Not the kind of bad silence just differently. Later the two boys went inside their home, cuddling and holding onto each other as the curly haired boy broke the silence

"We'll be ok Tyler"

Tyler looked to Josh and had a weak smile. Tyler didn't worry about himself, It was josh that he was worried about maybe even more than worried. Tyler replied to Josh

"I know we will babe"

Tyler fell asleep afterwards, Josh was the one who kept his eyes wide that night. Josh's thoughts had taken over all Josh thought was

'what if I die?'

'what if Tyler leaves me for someone else?'

' I never held a weapon at all' '

'I'm actually going to have to kill people'

Josh thought to himself these three days need to be worth it before he was actually going to leave and kill.
