Jason sighed, staring at the partly empty field and hoped she came. Despite the fact that they weren't dating in public yet.
He sighed, looking at the time and his eyes fleeted towards the plane.
He didn't want to leave her, he didn't want to have to write the things to her.
Odd, he noted, how falling in love for the first time changes a man so much.
He clapped his hands, motioning towards the plane and everyone finished their goodbyes.
They needed to get going, he couldn't wait on her. As much as he wanted to.

I jogged towards where the plane was, knowing that I was cutting it really fine getting down there, to see Jason off. I did not look forwards to the long months that he was going to be away, I knew there was a chance that he would not return to me. A thing I did not want to happen, but I knew that it might.
Finally I reached where they were, and I saw him signal for his group of boys to finish saying their goodbyes. He would see me by now, I was sure of it. Though the fact we were dating had not yet become public knowledge, I knew it would be after this. We had managed to hide it for a little while, but this would be the end of that.
I could tell that he was not too happy about me not getting there. I moved faster now, and called his name. "Jason!" I could only hope that he heard me and would know that I was here now. I could only hope that he would see me here. I did not care about the other people that were around us. All I saw was his face. The face of the soldier that my heart always seemed to melt for.

Jason turned slowly at the call of his name. That voice, it called to him. In the crowd of a million, he knew he would still be able to find her.
He smiled, jogging over to her and past caring what others throught.
"Naina," he murmered "you came."
He pulled her into a hug, clutching her close to his taller frame and took in her scent.
"I have to go..." he told her meeting her soft gaze "but I'll write, promise..and I will return."
He lent towards her, lips searching her hers quietly before pulling back to give one final peck to her soft forehead.
He brushed the hair from her eyes, smiling warmly before turning and running back to the plane.
"Promise you'll write!" he yelled once he was beside the loud plane and watched her, smiling.

I smiled as he spotted me, well it was more likely that he heard my voice first. I knew he would have been listening for that. Though I was a little sad to see him going like this from me.
I cared about him too much. I smiled though as he spoke and nodded.
For once i did not even think about the other people around us as I kissed him back gently.
"You know I will," I called out to him as he left heading back to his plane.
I would miss him, but there was no chance that I would ever think of finding someone else from this place personally.

He grinned, shooting her a final wave before disappearing into the planes cabin.
Some of his boys stared at him, as if unsure to what they had seen.
"Sir..was that Naina Collins?" one brave tropper asked and Jason turned to look at him.
He let him in silence for a moment before nodding.
"Aye, and if any of you ever touch her, you will answer to me," he growled and they all nodded slowly.
"Make it clear to all."
There was another round of nods.

I did not move from where everyone was until the plane was well on its way. I knew that some of the other guys that Jason had with him would have been surprised when they saw what happened between me and Jason, but did I care? Nope.
Nor would anyone dare try and hurt me, I knew how to deal with them only too easily. Plus I knew that both Aruaka and Jason seemed to watch out for me. They knew my little secret which had become known on my own doing, but that was nothing.
At least I was not scared off that day when I let it come out of me.

My dearest Naina,
His hand was shaking as he wrote, though for the reason he was unsure.
I write to you, for no letters have come as of yet so I am unsure if you have already written.
He paused, eyes blinking as he sighed and stared at the blank paper. How he wished she was here, or at least he was safe with her.
The fighting is thicker and harder then we first thought..though I dare say you have been in enough tough fights yourself.
The letter was short, for he had no idea what to say. What was he ment to say? I hope you miss me, oh and the odd chance that I do return stay with me?
Jason growled at the letter, scrunching it up and throwing it away before starting again.
The exact same way.
My dearest Naina,
I write to you, for no letters have come as of yet so I am unsure if you have already written.
The fighting is thicker and harder then we first thought..though I dare say you have been in enough tough fights yourself.
More troopers are being sent here, to replace the ones of old before they even turn cool.
In a way, I must say I am glad you are not here...it is all to dangerous for one, even as you. Though, I have no doubt you would hit me for saying such a thing.
I hope you are well and that none of those idiots are annoying you.
Only another 11 and a half months left.
Love Jason

I flicked through the mail at the kitchen bench and snorted at the amount of bills. Then I found one that was not in writing that was familiar to me. That surprised me and i looked at it, wondering who the hell had written to me.
When I opened it though, I knew who it was that had written to me. I read through the letter, noticing that he had not been sure of what to say to me.
Dear Jason
I am so sorry for not writing to you before now. You would not beleive how much of an idiot I felt like when I did not even recognise your hand writing. Then again I don't think I have ever seen you write anything so maybe that is not so silly after all.
Every day I think of you. It was a custom back in Italy that the families of those who are away fighting for their homeland that they pray for them when the family back home get up and go to bed. In a way it was so that their families stay safe that are away fighting with who knows who.
It is a pity that you are in a hard place at the moment. I worry about you every single day.
I have not had many to talk to while you have been gone, even Audrey I have not seen in a while. I do not know where she is at the moment.
I miss you more than ever,
Naina
I sighed and sent the letter away to him, not knowing if it would get to him.

"Jason!" someone yelled and his head turned.
"Yeah?"
"Mail," he said, throwing the white envolope at his head.
"Thanks."
He hurried back to his tent, knowing only one person who could be writing to him.
A smile tugged at his worn face at her words, he felt slightly bad for telling her to truth.
Dear Naina,
I dream of you as much as you think of me, my thoughts cannot be drawn from memories of you for long.
Remember that day we met for the first time? How I proved to you I was different...well it is one of my favourite times in my life. Remembering the beauty upon your clear features.
I miss you, and love you. Please remember that.
Love Jason.
P.S. Didn't anyone tell you? Audrey was sent to start her study...she'll be back for the holidays if she wishes, but she'll be studying hard for the next year or so.

Dear Jason,
I am afraid that no one thought to tell me she was gone so soon actually. I know you can't think about me all the time that would be a little dangerous for you, seeing as where you are. I know though that you are doing what you can to keep yourself safe.
I will always remember that, meeting you. Likely the best thing I have done in a long time since leaving Italy. I would never think to forget about the fact that you love me as much as I probably love you. That makes this harder though, knowing that we both feel the same way about each other at the moment.
Both a good thing and a bad thing, I suppose. It gets lonely at times without you or Audrey here. No one here talks to me. At least not anyone who has me around them when I am needed at the base. But then again, it is the same outside of the base for me, as you well know. Only out there I don't get some of the rude remarks and death stares that i do get in the base.
Not that i care what people want to do there. I knew where i belong and that they cannot really hurt me. Words, thats all it is, and not all of them always make sense to be honest. Though there is one group who seem to have decided that it is there job to try and maky things miserable there on the base. Not that what they keep trying to do works on someone like me. I'm too used to all of it to take any notice of such things these days. It's kind of become the normal thing for me.
Do not worry too much about me. Try and focus on keeping yourself safe for me and for everyone else.
Naina

Dearest Naina,
The numbers came in today, and I am afraid that they were not good. Out of the few hundred groups here I have lost the lest amount of men..but have still lost at least 15 of them.
The fighting is heavy and long, many are forgetting the reason we fight for these people.
It doesn't seem that the fighting is ment to end any time soon, though I truly hope it does.
I just know to many people here...To many cold faces that I know of, their familes they have.
I miss you dearly, and wish I had time to write more..but we are being called once more.
Jason.

I read the letter I got in reply and sighed. Things were really bad for them out there. I was not the easiest person to worry, but this did get through to me.
I smiled though and wrote back
Dear Jason,
I know that things are getting worse for you, but all wars come to an end. They may seem bad now, but eventually things will come good. Things here are go not the best for me but I;m still pulling through no matter what gets thrown at me.
Wish I could say the insults have stopped but alas they have not.
Stay safe,
Naina

My Naina,
You must tell Auraka, he will help you. Or once I return, I will personally break all their fingers at your word. I do not have much time to write any more, but today I heard a poem and thought of you. I thought maybe you'd like to hear it.
For the first time in my dismal life
I feel love flow in my heart
the same heart once thought cold and lifeless
fills with glorious joy and happiness
because of a woman
whose spirit is full of passion
her eyes that shine like sapphire stars
filled with warmth and beauty
a smile that brings happiness to my sad existence
I have never known love until now
because of the way she touched my heart
took hold of my depressed soul
and showed me the beauty of life's wonders
everything that I thought impossible
all seems to be within my grasp
I see everything in a new light
because of something I thought unworthy to feel
to feel love's tender kiss
and I bask in its beauty so
because of the feelings of a woman
whom I would love now and 'til
my heart beats its final note to life's great song
With all the love I can hold,
Jason.

I sighed as I looked through the mail. There was one from my father of all people, as well as one from Jason once again. Sighing, I opened the one from my father and sat down on my old couch to read the words on it. Every word was in Italian.
Alla mia figliar,
Ciò non è una buona cosa affinchè me debba scrivere voi. Ed il motivo che sto trasmettendo questo voi in primo luogo lo rattrista per sentirlo parlare. Ho scoperto non molto tempo fa da un amico anziano della famiglia, General Hawksong che avete cambiato i lati nella guerra che siamo tutto il combattimento in Italia.Molto displeased da questo e desidero conoscere il vostro ragionamento per fare una tal cosa a noi. Displeases me, perché siete l'unica famiglia che ho lasciato. Sentire parlare il vostro mother' l'omicidio di s era più di potrei trattare ed ora lo abbandonate pure. Non ci è honour ora lasciato in questa famiglia.
Ora dò voi ma un ordine. A casa ora venga! Se non siete qui prima dei sette giorni di ricezione del questo e saprò quando avete, dato che io ho miei propri contatti nel servizio postale nella zona voi in tensione dentro, quindi verrò personalmente per voi. Nessuno rimarranno vivi che si levino in piedi fra me e voi, sono equipaggiano, donna o bambino.
Venga a casa!
General Collins
I sighed and then read the more easier letter from Jason. Reaching for a pen and a piece of paper on the tidy desk in my own study, I quickly penned a reply to Jason.
Dear Jason,
That was a lovely poem that you sent me, and I am glad to hear that you are well still though you are far from me. I have gotten a letter from my father and it was not pleasant at all. You remember I told you that he would not let me get away with it for long, don't you?
Well the day that he chooses to strike at me for this betrayal as he would call it has come. This strike he made was in words in the letter I just read. He was not pleased to hear of my joining the Australian Army Forces what so ever. There was a not so subtle threat at the end and the last place I am safe now is here in Australia. I will not obey my father as to do so would show a fear of him that I never have had.
I do not know what I shall do at the moment and he has given me so short a time to go home, timeframe being a week from opening the letter from him. He somehow managed to get his own spies into the mail service here. I am glad for that reason that this will not go through the mail service to get to you.
The time worries me though, and I shall have to tell General Auraka about this. Sadly showing him the letter from my father will not be the easiest thing to do, as it is completely written in Italian and I will have to translate it word for word.
I hope that you have some suggestions for me, as my father has threatened a lot of innocent Australians in his letter to me.
I will also be telling Auraka about the others still giving me hell trouble.
I love you,
Naina
OOC: letter translation
To my Daughter,
This is not a good thing for me to have to write to you. And the reason I am sending this to you in the first place saddens me to hear of it. I found out not long ago from an old family freind, General Hawksong that you have changed sides in the war that we are all fighting in Italy.
I am very displeased by this and wish to know your reasoning for doing such a thing to us. It displeases me, because you are the only family I have left. Hearing of your mother's murder was more than I could handle and now you desert me as well. There is no honour left in this family now.
Now I give you but one order. Come home now! If you are not here before seven days of recieving this, and I shall know when you have, for I have my own contacts in the postal service in the area you live in, then I shall come for you personally. No one shall stay alive that stands between me and you, be they man, woman or child.
Come home!
General Collins

Jason took the letter, reading it quickly and sighed. He loved her familar hand writing now, it was the glory to the end of a bloody week.
Dear Naina, he pened neatly.
It is a problem that, I guess, could not be stopped. We, ourselves, have spies over Italy lines and so it doesnt suprise me that he does as well.
I know its hard, but you must show these things to Auraka right away. He will be able to keep you safe from your father as well as many other things.
I love you, please stay safe.
Jason.
Auraka tapped his desk, re-checking the numbers he already had a million times. He just didn't have enough, there just wasn't enough people.
A hand ran though his hair, wishing he didn't have to do what he was about to.
He pressed the button, ringing the recpition outside.
"Get me Naina Collins," he said and the young beauty hurried to comply.
Jason had lost his second in command, he needed another and he only had two people good enough to fill the spot. Audrey Chase who was studying and unable to fight and Naina Collins.
