Just Like in Soap Operas, but Worse

Summary: AU. Riku's mother died a few months ago, and already his father has moved on and is engaged. To make matters worse, his soon-to-be stepmother has a son.
Rating: R - swearing and some sexuality (eventually)
Pairing: Riku/Sora
POV: Riku's

AN: For those who may've asked: This story will majority be in Riku's POV. Sorry if that disappoints. Trust me, it wouldn't work out.

I just realized I forgot to thank the reviewers from the previous chapter. My bad! I was too much in an hurry. So here are the thank-you's for chapters 1 and 2. :)

AkuRokulove, Tall Tree, Anorexic Muffinz (lmao at the name comments. Well, we'll see. I can't really picture Sora saying that, heh, maybe Riku...), k612, Repliku, Roxas, Tieo, and kitkattcassy.

I have a 'DO NOT DISTURB UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES' on my door for a reason you know. And guess what? It's not for decoration. But neither Amy nor her stupid son could figure that out. Stupidity must be a new gene.

"Riku, time to get up!" the door opens, a smiling Amy walking over to turn on the lamp.

Bitch.

Knock. Knock.

Maybe, just maybe, if I don't respond, they'll figure I...ran away or something. I can just picture it--Amy opening the door, gasping in horror and going frantic when she notices I'm no where to be found...Running around like a chicken without it's head, crying and bawling how she is a horrible stepmother and she should commit suicide...And I’ll be the corner, handing her the shotgun.

"Erm, Riku?" asked a timid voice behind the door, following by another knock on the door.

"What?" I practically yell, turning off my iPod and before I can walk over to my door, it opens.

Sora stands there for a few minutes, then glances down at his shoes as if in embarrassment. "Erm. Dinner's ready."

"Geez, thanks for the announcement, but I'm not hungry," I snapped, not really caring if Amy herself came upstairs and commanded I eat her food. I don't think I can stand another one of those stupid 'family' dinners. My sanity is hanging by a thread.

Sora mumbled something, and this really infuriated me.

"If you're going to talk shit, at least have the fucking courtesy to say it to my face," I said loudly, crossing my arms.

To his credit, he didn't even stutter or stumble. "You need to stop acting like a fucking prick. I don't like it anymore than you, but you don't see me being a big baby over it--"

"Excuse me?"

My cell phone decided to ring at that moment, and I quickly turned away from this conversation, not caring as Sora walked away and closed the door loudly behind him. Figures he turn away. He's too much of a pansy.

"Hello?" I answered in annoyance.

"Is that a hint of frustration I hear in your voice, my dear Riku?" asked Axel on the other line, sniggering. "Sora's foot up your ass or something? Or do you normally sound like a dog groaning?"

I half listened, rubbing my eyes tiredly. "I'm just annoyed, ok?"

"So, what did he do now?" Axel asked, excited oozing from his voice. Great, now my misery has become his favorite entertainment.

"Who?"

"Sora! You know? That cute brunette you share a house with?" Axel laughed, emphasizing on the word 'cute'. I really don't find anything he just said funny. "Are you annoyed because I--erm--interrupted something?"

Hahaha. If Axel were here, I think I may have seriously punched him.

"I was just about to kick his ass, but no, you didn't interrupt anything," I replied curtly. "Don't fucking tell me to 'give him a chance’; I've heard enough of it from Kairi--"

"Okay...seriously, Riku, what the fuck do you have against the boy? He hasn't done anything to you--

"Besides being born?" I quickly cut in, not caring how childish and immature that may have sounded or arrogant. It's my life, and I can act any fucking way I want to, thank you and fuck off if you don't like it.

"AHEM. I bet he's just as pissed off about this situation as you. You know, you can be really self-centered sometimes," Axel muttered.

"If you called to lecture--I'm hanging up now--"

"Wait! God, you're such a fucking dickhead--"

"I'm hanging up--"

"If you hate this 'situation' so damn much, why don't you do something about it?" said Axel very quickly, as if knowing I was about to hit the 'End' button.

"Like what? Have you seen my Dad with her," I spat out in disgust, "He's like a lovesick teenager. You can't, like, disconnect them once they're together..."

"Ok, shut up for two seconds! If you are so smart, you'll...become allies with him. Conspire a plan. You don't want your dad to marry Amy, and I'm sure Sora doesn't want his mom to marry your dad. So break them up," Axel said, as if it were the simplest thing in the world. Axel can be a total retard sometimes. Why am I friends with a retard? I don't know, I think I have a relapse of brain functioning.

"You lost me at the 'allies' part, oh, do you remember how much my father loves her?" I crackled at my friend's idiotic plan.

"Piss Sora off or something, bad enough where you're beating the shit out of each other," he supplied. Figures he tells me to resort to violence. It's so Axel-ish.

"Won't work, knowing Amy, she'll set up 'family therapy' meetings. Axel, you don't remotely know what sort of woman she is."

"OR. LISTEN YOU DIPSHIT--get involved with the kid. I'm sure no parent would be okay with incest in the family," he continued.

"We're not even blood related--"

"Doesn't matter. I once had a cousin who fucked his future step-sister. The mother of the daughter nearly had a fit that her fiancé’s son corrupted her poor innocent, virginal daughter and they quickly called it quits. I'm sure Amy won't appreciate you fucking her son under their roof--"

I hung up, too disgusted to listen anymore.

I’ll go with plan A. After I check Axel into rehab, that boy must be into drugs if his sick, twisted mind can come up with solutions like that.

AN: Next chapter: There will be more Sora and Riku interaction, I just haven’t decided if it’s gonna be good or bad. But my good and bad versions may be completely different from yours…we’ll see. ;D
