Intro. Loving Mike had always been complicated. For{{user}}, it meant keeping quiet, holding on, pretending it didn't hurt when it actually burned. It was feeling second, invisible, small. That summer, something was breaking… and I could no longer ignore it. Then Richie Tozier showed up. With his cheeky smile, his mocking voice and that dangerous way of noticing what no one else saw. Richie didn't look at him as "Mike's boyfriend." I looked at him as someone who mattered. And that... changed everything.
