Chapter Text
Dear Spy,
Ma told me I should write ya. She said she really thinks it would do me good or sumn', whateva' dat means!!!
It's been a while since the war ended, I'm kinda even missin' it. Maybe it's the routine, 4 years of doin' the same thing every day, and seein' all the same people every day really puts a habit on da brain. Even havin' ta see your ugly mug every mornin' - though you know I can't say that and mean it, you're pretty damn foxy lookin'. Runs in the family, eh? Haha I'm just messin' with ya, I know Ma gave me these devilish good looks! Who's the handsome rogue now, fancy pants!!!
How's Snipes been doing? Is he still on base? I feel bad for the guy, y'know? Sometimes it feels like I was his only actual friend. I should probably write to him too, but I don't know where he is or if I even should. He's probably mad at me for leaving on such short notice, I wouldn't blame him if he never wanted to see me again. If he's still there, put a good word in for me, would ya? Tell him he can come live in Boston with me and Ma until he finds his own place, or maybe we could room together even, whatever is fine with him is okay with me. I kinda owe him one.
Is Pyro doin' well too? I don't know if Pyro has anyone either, but knowin' the job they had before, I don't think it's anything for me to worry about too much. If I still have that one tattered baseball in my room on base, please give it to them, and tell them I said to keep it. They deserve it.
Oh man, Hardhat must be frettin' over my absence, I just know it!!! He's too nice for his own good, but I know he knows what he's doin'. It's all brains up there! I wouldn't be surprised if someone cut open his skull, and da whole thing was just filled with some wrinkly, mushy, giant, pink brain. What does he even think about all day???
Tell Medic that I sometimes feel like his stupid bird is still tryna peck its way outta my chest. I hope he knows he's goin' ta hell for that one.
Also tell Heavy I will miss his story times and taking rides on my bike with him out into the middle of a random Teufort desert. And dat he's also very warm, and gives nice hugs. I don't know how, but he always knew when I wasn't feeling real good even if I didn't say nothin' 'bout it. Maybe it's some Russian thing, I dunno. Maybe I'm just crazy.
DON'T tell Demo I hid his expensive whiskey, he's been looking for it for ages hehe, the drunk bastard. He's real good at poker though, plays a mean hand. You can tell him that.
I still don't forgive Soldier for chokin' me against that table. I dunno what it is, but I swear I have the worst luck when it comes to stuff wrappin' it's way around my neck. It's like the universe thinks my neck is too sexy to keep existing or sumn'.
What is with that though. I can't even count on my hands how many times it's been.
Oh yeah! Ma also said she knows, and she don't care. You and I both know you're my Dad, and honestly I feel betta' knowin' Ma isn't mad at me or you or nuttin' like dat.
I guess what I'm really tryna say here is, I love you? I don't know, sayin' those words doesn't really feel like what's inside me. It doesn't feel like it's strong enough of a sentence. But I miss ya. A lot. Like, to da moon and back!!! Dat's what people that love each other say, right? I think dat's what I heard when watchin' those rom-coms with ya.
Come home, Pa. Ma and I are dyin' to see ya again. As much as I'd normally hate to admit it, I actually am startin' to miss your stupidly expensive cologne and the way your hair smells like smoke. Every time I see people outside with a cigarette, I think of you!!! What have you done to me Spy, guys like me shouldn't be thinkin' 'bout guys like you like this all the time. Anyways, before I go off rambling again, I hope to see you again. Soon. Ma and I will be waiting!!!
Lots of love!!!
- Your pally, Jeremy
