You sat down in the old church as the others talked among themselves.You where translating a German letter you had found into English to see if their was anything useful written in it.You carefully read through it again as you felt a pair of eyes on you.You carefully looked up to see corporal Upham looking at you.He realised you had caught him starting and then turned away.A smile came across your face.You carefully scanned over the letter you had already translated so far.You then heard footsteps and some russling about as someone sat next to you.You looked over to see Upham sitting their."hi" you smiled quietly as the others were talking."Hi" he smiled back just as quite.he had a cute smile or at least you thought so."Does this seem right i mean you've probably taken German for longer than me" you smiled handing him the letter."Let me look" he said. His fingertips brushed against the back of your hand. As he read over the letter you noticed his eyes for a moment , their was so much going on behind them. His eyes lost focus for a moment as you shuffled to adjust your body to lean against your pack on the wall."Yea this seems right" he mumbled."Yea doesn't seem to be anything important though , just about a nazi family life" you Mutter."Talking about family , you really think we will get to go home after this?"He asked.their was a moment of silence."Yea , Yea I think we will be able to go home ,I just don't know where home is" you signed quietly.Silence broke out once again as you continued to write and translate.He noticed the dried up blood and dirt on your hands from long days behind you.You looked up at him and he caught a glance of your eyes.Upham noticed how heavy your eyes where."You should get some sleep you know" he sighed."Ive tried but I can't, this is Uh gonna sound stupid but uh , I always get nightmares when I do" You muttered.Upham looked behind him but know one took heed to what ever he was doing.He pulled you closer."what are you" he cut you off."Shh it's fine" he muttered.You leaned against his body gently as you closed your eyes."now please , sleep" he softly whispered in your ear.You slowly shut your eyes and tried to get atleast an hour or two worth of sleep.Upham gently held you as you slept.he atleast wanted you to get some sleep , you where always watching over everyone else other than yourself.he held you at the waist as you lay against him.Once he knew you where asleep , he finally shut his eyes and lightly smiled at the thought of you in his arms.He thought about taking your hand but he hesitated as he wasn't sure if he was going to be brave enough for it.Your body relaxed as you slept for a bit.He knew that once the war was over he hoped he would be able to bring you home.
