Riku's POV

*~*~*~*~*

There I was, sitting on top of a clock tower, stalking some girl I didn't even know. But I wanted to know her.

Maybe she was the reason why I hated Roxas so much. Well, hate is too strong a word. Maybe she's the reason why I disliked Roxas so much. Because he had her and didn't care. He didn't know what he had. She's soo…. Wonderful. When I would keep an eye on Roxas for Diz, I would mostly be watching her. She was smart, funny, calm, and caring…. Everything I wished I had. And Roxas barely noticed that. When he forgot his memories, he got a second chance in Twilight Town. When I forgot mine, I was forced to work for the Organization.

I watched her all morning, willing her to look up and she me, but at the same time hoping that she wouldn't. I mean, what would she think if she did? "Oh, why is that strange boy staring at me?" But still… She's amazing. I've never felt this way around a girl before, especially one I don't even know. With Namine, I protected her because it was my job, but, around her, she felt like more or a sister to me. Kairi is Sora's girl, always was. She was basically my sister, even though I did have a tiny crush on her for a while before any of the mess with the darkness happened.

But now there was this girl, THE girl, the one I wanted to be with.

Olette.

She had no clue that I was in love with her.

Or that I was watching her.

Around noon, her friends, the one who wore too much camouflage, and the one who was always taking pictures, met her. They bought sea-salt ice cream, and began walking towards something.

The clock tower.

Where I was sitting.

I wouldn't be able to climb down, not without meeting them on the way. I wouldn't be able to jump off like I'd done when fighting Roxas, because that would be too obvious, and no normal person should be able to survive that. The only option was to hide.

I hid in a dark alcove behind where they would sit.

I heard them coming up the hidden stairwell to the top, the one that only maintenance workers were supposed to know about, but everyone knew about anyway. "I swear Hayner, I thought I saw something up here." She said. My heart stopped. In the fuzzy computer videos, her voice had been watered-down, and more static. Here, her voice was vibrant, and full of life. It was beautiful, but, most of all, it was REAL. I crouched down where I was standing, still watching them. They walked out the edge, and sat down.

She was right in front of me.

She was so close.

I could touch her hair.

I could hear her breathe.

I could smell her tangerine-scent

Olette.

I reached my arm out to stroke her silky, bark-colored hair, but caught myself just in time and quickly pulled my arm back into the dark of my alcove. "See Olette? No one here. You need you eyes checked." The camouflage boy said.

"I still think I saw something…." I could almost HEAR the furrow in her brow. All I wanted was to tell her that there was nothing wrong with her or her beautiful jade eyes, that I was up here, and she wasn't seeing things.

"It's okay. We all think we see things sometimes, Olette." The one with the camera said.

"But I really thought that I- Do you guys hear that?" She asked, worriedly.

"What?" The two boys said in unison.

"It sounds like someone is… Breathing. Behind us." She said. Damn, damn, damn, DAMN!! I cursed in my head. I hadn't realized that my breathing was so loud. I quieted down, and, for once, I hoped that the camouflage boy would come up with some stupid reason for why she could hear my breathing.

"It's probably just a cat or something." The boy said. YES! I silently cheered. "But," He continued, What? No! No "Buts"! I thought frantically. I felt my heart rate increase. "I can check it out for you if it'll make you feel better." I heard his footsteps before I saw him. If I had worn my old black cloak from the organization or something, maybe, just maybe, he wouldn't have seen me, but, in my everyday clothes, I stuck out like a sore thumb. Time to disappear… I thought. It would be just seconds before he got to me, which meant that was how much time I had to get out of there. The clock tower wasn't that much taller than other things I had jumped off of, and I had done those while fighting. I could make it. I was sure of it.

"Happy, Olette?" He said, still walking over. One…. Two …. I counted slowly in my head. I rolled up on the balls of my feet to spring.

"I'm want to look too." She said, stopping my count and my heart. I relaxed my position. I heard a gentle shuffle as she stood up right in front of me, but I was too far in the shadows to see anymore than the outline of her body or anyone else's.

"Hey, might as well make it a party." The other boy said, and I heard him stand to join the two who were already up. I heard their feet as they all took a small step closer to my hiding place.

"See, nothing there." The more arrogant one said. "I told you that you were just hearing things."

"Olette, Hayner's right, I don't think there's anything here." The other said more compassionately. I revised my plan, and restarted my count. One…. Two….. I rolled up on the balls of my feet again, ready to jump.

"I think I see something!" She said, noticing my shift in position. She moved right in front of my hiding place and leaned in to take a closer look.

Perfect…. I thought, grinning. "THREE!!!!" I said aloud. I sprang from my hiding place, and landed right in front of Olette, with inches to spare, knocking her off balance. I grabbed her so she wouldn't fall, then swung her around so that her back was to the clock tower and mine was to the empty air. I kissed her square on the lips, lingering for a moment. Then I let her go, and dove headlong off of the building.

*~*~*~*~*

A/N: Yes. Filling a couple of plot holes. Well, not really, mostly just filling in how Riku sort of knows Olette. =\ BUT, in a way, it helps my sadistic purposes behind writing these! Going to be 3 parts, 4 tops. R&R, because I love hearing what you write! Even if it's mean, I still love seeing how low your self esteem is that you have to rip on a crack pairing fanfic written by a teenage girl you don't even know. =D like I said, sadistic teen.
