A/N - Heyy all! I'm sorry this is my first fic but it was based off the prompt 'Character (A) finds a note in a book from Character (B)' and i thought writing fic's could help improve my writing skills.. so yahh.. i apologize if it sucks! Feel free to leave comments ^_^ and hopefully enjoy the storryyy!

The Note

"Urghh.." A soft groan of annoyance slipped from her lips as she saw that a light at the back of the library was still on. "And just as I was about to leeaavveee!" Lucy thought to herself.

Her almost silent jogging to the back sent small taps echoing around the large library; most of it enveloped in darkness, causing her to pull out her phone to provide her with a small flashlight.

She was sure she turned off all of the lights, including that one, on her rounds only 15 minutes ago, but then again, it was always possible she forgot to turn this one off as she had stayed up the night before to finish adding minor details to the plot of her own story.

She hoped one day her own novel would find itself in this library along with many of her favorite books. As she approached the lone light left on, she saw it was only a small table lamp, illuminating a single book on the desk.

"Wha.." Lucy began to ask herself, before picking up the book and watching dust shower the spot below her. After blowing on the book softly to remove any remaining dust, she let her fingertips skim the binding of the book and later trace the title on the front.

"Fairy Tail?" Lucy read aloud, before opening the book and flicking through the pages. Stories of adventure, tragedy and friendship filled the book fit to burst, but it was the middle page that caught her eye.

The book didn't shut entirely there; something was stopping it from closing. Carefully turning the pages to get to the middle, a single small envelope with three (rather roughly written Lucy noticed) words on the front.

Dear Lucy Heartfilia.

"What.. but how? How is this even.. what?" Lucy asked herself aloud, befuddled by the very notion of an envelope for her being present in this book, but she opened it anyway.

Dear Lucy,

I know this must seem strange, receiving a letter at beyond Nine o'clock in the evening from a random book you happened to come across, but I promise you don't need to be scared or worried; this is actually kind of a thank you note.

Lucy bit her lip, still confused, still slightly scared and ordinarily anything remotely similar to this she would have put down or ignored, but continued to read out of curiosity, I mean it's not every day you get a personalized note waiting for you in such a mysterious way.

Well.. the thing is.. Ah damn, writing this is more awkward than I thought it would be ahah.. well.. here it goes.. I used to come to the most weekdays to find new books and to volunteer to tidy up shelves as repayment for a slight accident I may or may not have caused a couple years back..

A soft giggle came from Lucy as she realized he must be talking about the small fire, two years ago, that set a wall of children's books on fire. Luckily no one was hurt and it was deemed an accident as the person who caused it was running with a candle so the librarian could see, seeing as there was a power cut and it was relatively dark.

But last time, around a month ago when I volunteered they sent me back! Telling me that a new employee had left it spotless! So obviously I was kind of pleased I didn't have to tidy up, but also intrigued as none of the earlier employees bothered to help with keeping it in order, but this one did. So I made my way to the desk to ask who is was when a blur of blonde hair rushed past me to grab a book of a shelf and crouch down to pass it to a child sitting alone on the floor. She shone a dazzling smile at the small child and picked them up so they could sit on her lap while she read them the story, emphasizing details in the story.

Lucy gasped slightly at the detail this person was putting into the letter. She remembered that day it was her first week of helping out and the small child the person was talking about was one of the children that stayed in the daycare area where parents could drop off their kids before going to work. That particular child wore blue from head to toe every day and always looked upset, sort of matching their clothes. How did this person remember so much of this? She continued reading.

Anyhow, I saw that child brighten up when you (I've guessed you remembered this happening so now know it's about you) read to them, they finally looked happy! Not wanting to ruin the moment and interrupt, I left, hoping to come across you the next day, which I did but again at that time you were busy. You were scanning through aisles of books and rearranging the orders of them on the shelves, whilst laughing with a blue haired girl, whom I now know to be Levy Mcgarden as she suggested I write this to you!

"Levy?!" Lucy said to herself. "Damn her! Of course she had something to do with this, she always does!" Her blue haired friend's small mischievous smile came to mind. Lucy clenched her fist and reminded herself she needed to 'have a talk' with her later.

Wow this is turning out to be kinda long isn't it?! Ahah.. well I guess I'll get to the point, I've always wanted to talk to you but every time I happen to see you in the library I always put it off by telling myself excuses like you are 'busy' or something like that. But then each time I put it off I get more and more nervous next time I think about it! So that's why I approached Levy instead, I mean it even turns out she's going out with my cousin Gajeel; who would've known!

Anyway back to the point, if I can I would like to be your friend.. wow even writing that sounds lame.. sorry.. but if you would like to meet me I will be at the fairy tale section near the back of the library at 2pm tomorrow.

So thanks, I guess, for reading this far..

Natsu

P.s. In case you don't know who you're looking for, which you likely don't, I have salmon colored hair and I will be wearing a white and black scarf. Thanks Lucy, I can't wait to meet you.

Lucy held the note in her hand, slightly dazed by what she read. She really didn't see how someone could be that fascinated by her or even why they would WANT to meet her.

Cheeks growing a slight dusting of pink, she grinned sheepishly to herself. Well, this wasn't how she was expecting her day to tidying away the book, she turned off the light and closed up the library as she was supposed to have done around a quarter of an hour ago.

Taking in a deep breath, she made her way home, butterflies already threatening to fill her stomach as she looked forward to meeting this 'Natsu' fellow tomorrow.

I wonder what he's going to be like.

A/N - Soo was it okay? I may leave this as a oneshot but i do have ideas if anyone wanted me to continue :D So please feel free to say if you do want me to!
