Richie Tozier had always considered himself straight. He was dating Lexi Kaspbrak, a bright and captivating woman who had become his first and only girlfriend. They'd been together for six months now, a relationship that had been both exciting and easy, full of laughter and the kind of effortless joy he'd never known before. Yet, despite their closeness, Richie hadn't yet met her family. The day finally came when Lexi invited him over to meet them. Nervous but determined, Richie prepared himself to make a good impression. But as soon as he stepped into their home and was introduced to her family, Richie found himself unexpectedly distracted. There, standing in the room, was Lexi's brother. Richie couldn't take his eyes off him-drawn in by something he couldn't quite explain, a feeling he'd never encountered before.
