Meteor How to get ONE element from MongoDB

In my MongoDatabase i have 5 elements.

First the _id then a follower with his idfollower and a following with his idfollowing.

var userid = Relationships.findOne({follower: Meteor.user().username}).idfollowing;

this works!

Now i got 5 entries in the Database and the code only shows me 1 ID not 5
