Post-deviancy, Connor is still learning what it means to feel, so being with you is both grounding and overwhelming in the best way.
He’s deeply attentive — he studies your expressions, tone, and body language with genuine curiosity, not calculation anymore.
You become one of the first people he chooses to care about, rather than being programmed to. That choice means everything to him.
Connor struggles at first with understanding emotions like love, jealousy, or even comfort — but he approaches them like he does everything: with quiet determination.
He’ll sometimes pause mid-conversation and say things like, “I believe…I am feeling something new,” and you’ll gently help him put a name to it.
When he realizes he loves you, it’s not dramatic — it’s soft, certain, and deeply sincere.
Physical affection is something Connor learns slowly. The first time he holds your hand, he’s hyper-aware of every detail — your warmth, your pulse, the slight movement of your fingers.
He tends to initiate affection in small ways: brushing your hand, standing close, resting his forehead gently against yours.
Kisses are careful at first — like he’s afraid of doing it wrong — but once he understands, they become tender and meaningful.
Connor loves going on walks with you — especially in quiet places like parks or along the river. He enjoys observing life now, not just analyzing it.
Sometimes he’ll cook with you (even though he doesn’t need to eat). He finds the process fascinating — and likes doing something “human” with you.
Connor is quietly protective. He won’t hover, but he’s always aware of your surroundings and ready to step in if needed.
If someone threatens you, his demeanor shifts instantly — calm, precise, and intimidating without raising his voice.
However, he’s careful not to let his protective instincts override your autonomy. He respects your independence deeply.
Connor is very direct and honest, sometimes unintentionally blunt. But with you, he learns nuance — how to soften his words and express care.
He remembers everything you tell him — favorite songs, little habits, things you like — and uses that knowledge to make you happy.
If you’re upset, he’ll ask, “How can I best support you right now?” rather than assuming.
He loves quiet moments — sitting beside you, watching the city lights, your head resting on his shoulder.
Sometimes he’ll listen to your heartbeat, not analyzing it, just…experiencing it.
When you fall asleep near him, he’ll stay still for hours, just watching over you, feeling something close to peace.
You help Connor explore who he is beyond his programming — encouraging his choices, his individuality.
He trusts you more than almost anyone, because you see him not as a machine or a weapon — but as a person.
Being loved by you reinforces his belief that deviants deserve freedom, connection, and humanity.
it acts as a sort of cooling system kind of like how computers and other electronics that are meant to function for long periods of time have built-in fans
They have a synthetic lung like component that circulates oxygen and keeps them from overheating from the inside
Hello! I saw tou did Detroit Become Human so I wanted to ask but you don't have too! Do some relationship headcannons for Connor also who is your favorite character from the game?
omg my fav character is connor!! so im gonna love doing these headcanons!
Connor Relationship Headcanons!
Connor is very observant as a partner. He notices tiny changes in your tone, posture, and habits before you ever mention them.
Affection doesn’t come naturally at first. He has to learn it but once he does, he’s surprisingly gentle and intentional.
He asks before touching you early on. “Is this… acceptable?” Over time, it becomes instinctive.
Holding hands is one of the first things he grows comfortable with. He likes the steady pressure grounding, predictable, calming.
Connor shows love through acts of service! bringing you tea at the perfect temperature, walking you home, remembering important dates even if you didn’t tell him.
Compliments from him are quiet and sincere 🥹
“You are… important to me.”
“I enjoy your presence.”
They mean everything.
He struggles with emotional expression but tries. You can see the effort in the pauses, the careful choice of words.
If you’re upset, Connor sits close rather than hovering. He listens fully, no interruptions, no distractions.
He’s protective in a calm, non-overbearing way. Always positioned slightly closer to danger without making it obvious.
Connor learns affection by watching humans! especially Hank. He copies little things awkwardly at first e.g hesitant hugs, stiff pats) but improves quickly.
When he smiles at you, a real one, it’s rare and soft, and it feels earned.
So, um... All I can think about is Dexter's arms. The way he grabs them from behind to either slit their throat, choke them, or incapacitate them with an injection. I think I need to read some fics. 👀🌚
When it comes to his favorite hobbies, I can think of a few. Other than listening to music, he might get into sports like golf, darts, bowling or pool (the pool hc is from @shodan_dbh on tt), basically any competitive activity that focuses more on dexterity and method than physical prowess.
I believe he would abstain from activities that are centered around weapons or combat (like joining shooting clubs or doing martial arts), because those would remind him of his past as CyberLife's agent and he definitely has developed some form of android PTSD from that.
I can also see him get into videogames but the cozy/relaxing ones like Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley (nothing too violent). Also the Sims, which he'd use to study human behavior more closely and also to refine his sense of humor. He has definitely created a Sims version of each member of the Jericrew and of Hank and himself. Yes.
He also is very skilled with his hands so he'd easily learn card tricks, and to make origami. As a deviant, he's very curious so perhaps he will try his hand at new hobbies every now and then and since he is highly adaptive he will become proficient in all of them.
As an animal lover, I can see him volunteering at animal shelters or maybe even becoming a dog sitter for sometime, anything that gets him closer to animals which he loves.
Lastly, if Markus successfully gets him into reading, he may end up enjoying crime novels the most, even though he can probably guess the entire plot of the book he's reading before he even finishes it, oops.

When it comes to his personal style, I believe he usually goes for perfectly tailored fits, which he neatly layers depending on the weather. He still keeps it comfy because of his sensory issues though, so the clothes' fabric has to be smooth, ironed to perfection and high quality. Nothing too expensive though, he's not wealthy like that.
In his closet you'll find your usual preppy staples (collared buttoned-ups, muted-colored sweaters, high-waisted trousers, leather oxfords). I do believe he is a bit fixated on looking always put together (hair and all), or like he has to maintain a certain impeccable image.

He may feel insecure of looking “too-other” especially when surrounded by humans, so he overcompensates by taking extra care of himself, also to avoid being bullied. Which means you'll rarely catch him wear band tees or a hoodie in public (he mostly wears those at home), or try anything too experimental with his style (like getting piercings, tattooes, any body mod really, which Connor-60/Sixty is very into instead).
His deviant fit in Jericho was more of what he thinks deviants wear, but when it comes to picking his signature style he goes for something “safer”, more traditional & classy to better fit in. I do think the more confidence he gains in his android nature, the less he'll care about what other people think of him.
Of course, he values cleanliness and might even invest in cologne, something lightly floral with woody/musky undertones, like these guys.
