"Counting down the days"

A collection of letters between Tom and Harry. Set in America during the time of the American Civil War. Tom is a soldier and Harry is stuck at home because of his crippled leg. Tom's parents are dead and Harry was written down as his only relative so that he could be the first person to hear news about Tom. This chapter contains feels and you might cry. I really love this so much. Also I am not writing this in the way it would have been written back then, because that would be way to much work. Sorry this is later in the day, I had a tournament that took up 6 or so hours of my day.

     Dear Harry, 

     Life here is different. That is the only way to say that. We get commanded to wake up earlier than I ever have before, and our meals are terrible. I really wish I could have avoided joining the Union. My only wish at the moment is to have you residing in my arms. I don't have much paper to write on, so my letter's will be scarce. Just remember I love you and I am counting down the days until I get to see you again.  

     Sincerely,

     Tom M. Riddle

      Dear my Tom, 

     I long to hear your voice, I know you are probably chuckling at how cheesy I sound, but it is true. I miss you terribly. Mom agrees with me too. Although Dad says he just misses the extra farm hand. We both know that's a lie. I miss your hugs too, Tom. I love you so much and can't wait to see you again as well. 

     From your love,

     Harry J. Potter

     Dear my love,

      Tomorrow we have our first battle as a battalion. I am scared of what is to come. If you tell anyone I said that, you aren't getting laid until the nineteen hundreds arrive. I also feel slightly threatened by my fellow soldiers. Some of the other soldiers don't have shoes, but I do. I've seen the envious glances and the hungry looks in some of their eyes. I am guarding these shoes with my life. When I get home, I demand you and I spend at least a week alone in a room doing things that would make a virgin blush. 

     With all my love, 

    Tom M. Riddle

     Dear the idiot soldier who I love dearly, 

      How did the battle go. Are you ok? I received the letter a week after it was sent so I know the battle is most likely over now. I don't want you to see you hurt like me. I hope the battle was short so that less people got injured. Also, if someone steals your shoes, I will come up their and beat their asses. 

      In positive news, Ronald's sister is pregnant. She and her husband, Dean, told us last night. It was a joyous occasion that I wish I could have shared with you. 

     Cheers,

     Harry J. Potter
