Rick and FJ met under strange circumstances. It happened sometime past Loretta's (Rick's wife's) death, and quite recently after Rick finally cleared his name after being falsely accused of the crime that took her life. He was in shambles; his family was destroyed, his childhood fears rekindled, his public reputation ruined, and the only thing that kept him going was his young daughter he had to take care of.
FJ appeared in his life as yet another one of the cases Rick had to deal with. He was an amnesiac that Rick had found beaten up on the same cemetery his wife was buried at and helped get medical treatment for. As per usual, the Grimport shelters were far too crowded as is and Rick's colleagues wanted to essentially fend for himself. Rick wasn't quite fond of this idea (aka he screamed at them) and decided he'd just help FJ get back on his feet on his own while investigating his case and trying to figure out the mystery behind his identity.
They spent months in that little motel room, trying to trigger FJ's memories, and for once, Rick managed to live a life where grief wasn't his entire purpose and identity. He enjoyed it so much, in fact, that he began to fear he was growing too trusting again. He began to care for FJ, and FJ began to care for him, and before he knew it, Rick had to wonder if allowing himself that joy was a mistake all along.
Their relationship had lots of ups and downs, many of which you'll read in the upcoming trilogy next year hopefully, but some that you can also see on my P♡treon, along with lots more extra content and trilogy illustrations, book excerpts and things that I otherwise don't post here ❤️🩹
