So, I have the next chapter of A Bookworm's Take on Lightning and Steel done, but I would really love it if someone could look over it before I post...so if any of you wonderful readers would care to do a quick once over of it before I post, I will be forever grateful (preferably someone already familiar with the fic)

Ch 10. Mystery Poet

"…So with tongue-in-cheek, and eyes that creep, I'll keep it hidden, failing to reap the blessings of your love" Levy settled her gaze on the blond, eyes having long grown wide in emotion

Lucy felt heat creep onto her cheeks. 'Any second now. She's going to-'

"Kyaaaa! Lu-chan, That was so amazing!" Levy squealed out gripping the thick paper like it was an invaluable artifact "I can't believe they didn't leave a name"

Lucy gently pulled her paper from Levy's hands "There was a smudge at the bottom, it was probably blotted out" she said staring at the small imperfection on the folded sheet.

"But-! That was beautiful Lu! You can't just ignore something like that!" Levy cried, banging her small fist on the blonde's coffee table

Lucy let a dry laugh escape her mouth as she ran a hand over the folded letter "It is a very nice love letter, isn't it? Who do you suppose wrote it?" She asked absentmindedly

Levy sent her best friend a smile "It could have been a cross dressing Elfman for all it matters to you, Lu. I can see it, you're half in love with the author already" the blue haired teen said, nodding sagely "Let's hope your mystery poet leaves a few more hints next time" she said tapping her fingers on the hard polished wood

"I bet it was Loke" Levy said after a few seconds of silence

"It couldn't be, unless he decided to start structuring his prose differently and stopped using stolen lines from Shakespeare"

"….Gray?"

"No, he's much more of a say-it-in-person kinda guy, besides if it were him I'm sure there would have an analogy or seven based on 'shedding bad habits like he does his shirt' or something"

"Do you think….? No."

"What?" Lucy asked, stretching her lips at her friend's knowing look

"Natsu"

Lucy laughed aloud, leaning over to the script mage conspiratorially "This is not a joke, alright. Natsu never learned the entire alphabet. He's missing the letters from U onwards. So if it were him, he would have needed some help."

Levy set her head on the table frowning at the letter held aloft in Lucy's hands "Well I guess we won't know until that person lets you know….."

Both of them missed the snickering blue cat sitting against her window sill, a freshly used pen hanging loosely from his paw "I hope Lucy never figures out her mystery human is all make-believe" Happy said to himself
