Hi this is Richie/Riki Gunner they're uhm well he's got me fujoing out.
With a lovely explanation of what their deal is by @dollydon
Richie is the middle sibling of the Gunner family. He is constantly isolated and ignored since all of their momâs attention goes to Harry, the rebellious one, and Alice, her little angel. His sisters are too busy having sex with each other to ever really notice him either. His dad was the only one who ever really paid attention to him as a kid, but after the divorce when he was younger, he never really heard from his father again.
Richie desperate to be loved, feel seen, and dealing with complicated feelings he doesnât really feel safe going to his family about. So he started going to gay bars. He doesnât use his real name for safety reasons and goes by Riki. There, he meets a kind older gay couple by the name of Damien and Drake. Damien owns the bar, and Drake is a tattoo artist.
They take Riki under their wing and help him come to accept more sides of himself and his identity. Drake, being a trans man, helps Riki understand more about their gender and while Riki hasnât found a label yet, he has started taking estrogen in low doses, and itâs been nice for him. Riki also started dancing at the bar, really embracing this double life he lives.
At the same time, Riki had been developing a pretty big crush on Damien and the way he treats Riki like this perfect beautiful thing to be loved and protected. Itâs the most loved and secure heâs felt since childhood. Unfortunately, around this time, he also learned accidentally that Damien is his father. Instead of scaring Riki off, however, this only makes him want to stay closer.
Riki rationalizes that thereâs no reason for telling Drake and Damien. They seem so happy now, and he doesnât want to ruin that by suddenly reminding him of his kids. He went no contact, and his mom said a lot of awful things about him, so maybe if Damien knew the truth, he would leave Riki again. In the end itâs a harmless crush, and heâs not hurting anyone.
So he continues on one world at home with his family alone, the other happy and cared for surrounded by the love heâs always wanted. He only grows closer to Damien and Drake, finding that his attraction to his father hasnât diminished but only grown stronger more passionate. Even finding himself drawn to Drake as well. He knows theyâre not monogamous heâs seen Damien with other guys and often canât help but imagine being one of those guys.
One rough night at the bar, Damien confides in Riki about his past. How he used to be married, how he has 3 kids, and how much he misses them. How Nayeli used the fact that he was bi to win full custody over the kids and how much he worries about his sons (plural he doesnât even know Harry is trans) and daughter. He talks about all his kids' little stories for all of them and kinda tears up itâs really raw, and instead of fessing up telling Damien heâs Richie Riki kisses him, and they sleep together.
Now Riki is sleeping with his dad, who doesnât know that heâs his son and is too desperate for love and too scared of rejection to make the right choice continuing this relationship under false pretenses.
Riki, as stated before hasnât figured out his labels, but heâs a Demiboy hey/they and mildly transfemme.
