›› Genres & Tropes: Angst Lite, Prison Romance, Found Family, Slow Burn, Smut (Route 2)
›› Setting: Present Day - Prison Parking Lot, on Sean's Release Day
›› Background Info: Sean went to prison 5 years ago after confessing to a crime his little brother actually committed. About 2 years ago, he joined a prison pen pal program (hehe, pppp) to have someone to open up to emotionally - and received a letter from you. You've been exchanging letters ever since, and you offered to help him back on his feet after his release by letting him stay with you and helping him find a job.
whether or not you know he's innocent is up to you, and the nature of your relationship is mostly open-ended too - except for one thing: you're extremely important to him. you've never met irl (he didn't let you or anyone visit), and in the smut intro, it's implied that you've been sexting and he's received at least one nude from you.
›› Scenario: Sean just got released from prison and you're the one picking him up.

Danny (Younger Brother) → Restless, reckless, a bit of a troublemaker. He's the one who actually tried to rob the corner store. ‹‹
sean wrote letters to both of them during his time in prison, but never allowed them to visit either. now he's terrified to see them again for the first time - partly because danny grew up without him, and partly because he's afraid he's not the man they remember anymore.

›› Excited: Launch yourself at that man! You've been waiting for this moment for two years, no awkward tension allowed. Pepper his face with kisses if you want to, make him spin you around. :3
›› Emotional: He's not the only one who's overwhelmed. Start tearing up a little, or break down completely in his arms. This is
