Olette's POV
*~*~*~*~*
I went home.
I went to sleep.
I dreamed of him.
The boy, the one who had kissed me.
My first kiss, with this mysterious boy.
All I knew was his name.
Riku.
I woke up.
I waited.
Hayner and Pence confirmed my suspicions, that, yes, a tall, muscular, silver haired boy had kissed me and then jumped off the Clock Tower. They asked me what had happened after I left, if I had found him, and why he was hiding. I told them that all I had found out was that his name was Riku. I decided to leave out the stalker part.
We got ice cream.
I waited.
We practiced for "Struggle!".
I waited.
I went to sleep.
I dreamed of him.
And then the cycle repeated.
Why did he have such a hold over me? I barely knew him.
But, nonetheless, I would see a flash of silver, or aquamarine in a crowd, and get excited.
But the cycle continued for what seemed like years, even though it was only a week or so.
I finally got to the point where I realized that he wasn't coming back, and no amount of waiting would bring him here.
I was walking home from the Sandlot, after "Struggle!" practice, and decided to take the alley way where I had chased Riku an eternity ago.
(A/N: A little overdramatic there, huh Olette?) I retraced my steps, the last connection I had to him. I got all the way to the base of the Clock tower, and decided to go to the top. It took me about 2 minutes to climb the spiral staircase to the top, and when I opened the door, the vast, yet sleepy city of Twilight Town waited below me. I walked to where I usually sit, stayed standing and looked around the Town.
I heard a rustling sound behind me, but didn't turn. Suddenly, an all too familiar voice yelled "THREE!" behind me. There was a loud thump right behind me, and I was knocked off balance. I would have fallen down, except two arms locked around me in a vise-like grip, and kept me balanced on the ledge.
I felt hair brush over my shoulder, and something pressed against the side of my head. "Like I said, when you least expect it…." A voice whispered into my ear, giving me goose bumps.
The arms suddenly swung me around, and I felt my feet lift off the ground.
Then we were falling.
I shut my eyes.
I waited for the pain of the crash.
Instead, I felt a gentle thump, like sitting down on a bed.
I realized that we were on the ground, and moving. I kept my eyes shut, knowing what I would see, and not wanting to wake up from my delusional little daydream. He stopped, and gave me a little shake.
"Are you asleep?" The velvet voice asked. I opened one eye at a time, making sure that he wouldn't disappear as soon as I opened them.
"I'm fine." I said, still in shock. I mean, seriously, I did just fall off a clock tower, even if Riku was holding me. I looked around and realized that we were at the sandlot.
"So…" He said, putting me down on a bench. "Do you want your other 14 questions now?" He asked, sitting down next to me.
"Sure. Why not?" I said, smiling.
"I don't know why not. And there goes question 14." He said, grinning.
"What? How does that count?" I said, slightly annoyed, but jokingly.
"Well, you asked me 'Why not?' and I told you. And there goes 13." He said, laughing.
I looked at him square in the eye, and said, straight-faced, "Do you do this often?"
"Nope, but this is funny! Oh, and that was 12!" He said, still laughing.
"ARGH! Why can't I stop?" (A/N: maybe because you have a lazy-ass author who didn't feel like thinking of 14 questions. =P) I put my face in my hands.
"I don't know, but this is fun!" He looked like he was fall off the bench because of how hard he was laughing. "Oh, and that means you only have 10 questions left."
"I m NOT wasting anymore questions. So, Riku, where do you come from?" I asked.
It took him a minute to stop laughing and answer. "Destiny Island. It's in a different world, technically. I live there with my two best friends, Kairi and Sora."
"I know Kairi and Sora! They came here once, looking for each other, and this other person, but I can't remember his name…. Wait a sec, was it you?" I asked, wide eyed, with a realization sweeping over me.
He smiled and nodded his head. "The one and only. Oh, and you only have eight questions left."
I shrugged. I actually planned that one. "So, why me? Aren't there other people who you could stalk, of watch, or whatever? And yes, those were questions eight and seven, I know."
"We've talked about this already. You interest me. Always calm, caring, fun…. You're just, well, special. And while yes, there are other people who I could watch, I would rather watch you. There are some other reasons, but you couldn't even BEGIN to understand them. It involves things that are really complicated, but I might tell you someday, when I think you can take it."
"So there's going to be a 'someday' for us?"
"Well, assuming you don't get a restraining order against me for 'stalking', I see no reason for there not to be a someday. And besides, I only watch you when you're out on the street. It's not like I watch you at home. Just in public, where anyone can do the same. Except, I just happen to do mine from the top of the clock tower." He shrugged. "But, a 'someday' for us is riding on one question that I have for you. Olette, will you go out with me?" He asked, taking one of my hands.
I started to nod and say, "Ye-"
"OLETTE?!?" I heard two surprised voices say from the entrance of the sandlot. Apparently Riku and I hadn't noticed Hayner and Pence, who were watching our little show.
"Hey, aren't you the guy who jumped off of the clock tower?" Hayner asked with an accusing point.
"Umm… Yeah." Riku said.
"THAT WAS SO COOL! Do you think that you could teach me to do that?" Pence asked.
"Well, it's not exactly something you can learn. But, I guess I could try…." Riku replied.
"Hey, can I learn, too?" Hayner asked.
"Sure." Riku shrugged.
"Awesome! Hey, do you want to get ice-cream with us?" Hayner asked.
"Umm…. I guess I could." Riku said looking at me and grinning. "Olette, are you coming?"
I looked from Riku to my friends who were watching us and wondering what they walked in on. "Oh, of course." I smiled.
"LET'S GO!" Hayner yelled. He started to run towards our favorite ice-cream shop.
"So, like I was saying, yes. I'd love to." I said once we were standing.
"Great. But, I hope you realize that your friend's questions count towards your total twenty. Which means, you only have one left."
"Not fair! But, I think I have the perfect question." I said. Pence and Hayner were already at the shop buying the ice-cream, but Riku and I were walking behind them, taking our sweet time. The afternoon was nice, with a cool breeze offsetting the summer heat. It was the perfect setting. While we were still out of Hayner and Pence's earshot, I stopped walking and grabbed Riku's shoulder, forcing him to stop and face me.
"Riku." I said seriously, releasing his shoulder. "I know that we haven't exactly formally known each other long, but, Riku, do you love me?"
He stared down at me through his bangs, with an thoughtful, but caring look in his eyes. A warm smile spread across his face, and suddenly I felt his arms wrap around me. Before I knew it, he had pressed his lips to mine, in a much warmer, more passionate kiss than our first one, when he jumped off of a building afterwards. The best part about this kiss was that it was longer, since he didn't have to make an escape afterward. I didn't want it to end, but he pulled away, and then I remembered Hayner and Pence. Riku had seen them out of the corner of his eye, and he was looking at them, me still in his arms. Their eyes were wide, and if their jaws had dropped anymore, they would have hit the ground. I blushed as Riku released me from his grip.
"Okay then…" Pence said as he handed me my ice-cream. Hayner handed Riku the one for him, and then started walking away.
"Yeah, well, uhh, I just remembered, that, uh, I have to… Clean my room! Yeah, so, I'll just ya'know, leave you two alone." Hayner winked at me, making me blush, and then dragged Pence with him. "Come on Pence, you get to help." Before Pence could argue, Hayner elbowed him in the side and they disappeared around the corner.
"So, how about we go back to the clock tower?" Riku asked.
"Sure, but you never answered my question." I said blushing.
He cocked an eyebrow at me. "It thought that that was answer enough. Well, in any case, yes Olette, I love you." Hey dropped his ice cream and pulled me into an alley, wrapping his arms around me warmly. His lips pressed to mine, less gently than before, but with more fire behind the kiss. I let go of my ice cream and threw my arms around him, kissing him eagerly back, and savoring our little moment of perfection.
*~*~*~*~*
Wow, Olette is overdramatic, isn't she? But hey, I guess it's my fault for writing her that way. So, I might do another from Riku's POV, but I think that writing another chapter might ruin the nice little ending I have here. NOTE: It won't be classified as "Complete" until I get some feedback, or ideas for the next chapter. I might do one with a time skip, though. Anyway, R&R please!
