[Connor makes a promise that Sean knows he doesn't mean. Not really. Fuck, he should have known. He'd been texting with him a while, he's seen how hard it is to meet up with Connor because of that fucking job. Of course he'd put it first above everything else. Sean was fine with that when 'above everything else' meant not being able to meet up for dates.
It's different when 'above everything else' means 'arresting someone who trusted you'.
Sean says nothing. And he keeps saying nothing, all the way back to the station. So hey Connor, you found another way to shut him up.
They book him and take a mug shot and they take his stuff from him, and Sean ends up in a holding cell. He's been in these before when drunk or part of the occasional bar brawl. He's never been here before with the threat of a murder charge hanging over his head, or the inevitability that he'll be losing everything. Will they even let him take his books with him wherever he goes? Probably not to prison. And probably they won't give a shit about getting Sean his things if they do send him home. If he's lucky, he'll fly home in the clothes he was wearing when they booked him, which now consist of dirty jeans and a shirt that got torn during the chase. They're going to throw away all his fucking books, and probably ever nice thing an ex-boyfriend ever got him.
By the time Sean ends up in an interrogation room, his eyes are bloodshot and they've put him in a new shirt - this one baggy and shapeless. It's not exactly his usual almost vacuum sealed look.
And when Connor's the one who comes in, Sean just hunches in on himself and waits for the inevitable.]
