Treebros

Treebros is the slash ship between Evan Hansen and Connor Murphy from the Dear Evan Hansen fandom.

Act 1
Connor and Evan attend the same school, though they don't know each other well, regardless both boys share a lot in common. They struggle to connect with their mothers and have a mutual feeling of feeling alone.

At school, Jared points out that Connor's hair is looking very 'school shooter chic', causing Connor to feel annoyed. Jared quickly exists, leaving Connor and Evan alone. Being the socially awkward teenager he is, Evan is clearly uncomfortable and makes a nervous laugh. Connor interprets this as him being laughed at, and gets aggressive towards Evan, calling him a freak and pushing him to the ground. Evan then sings 'Waving Through a Window'.

Back at school, Evan writes his daily letter to himself and prints it out. He is approached by Connor, who asks Evan what happened to his arm. Evan tells him he fell out of a tree. Connor asks to sign his cast and writes the word 'CONNOR' in large letters. Following that, he remarks they can both pretend they have friends. Evan begins to leave but is stopped by Connor who reveals that he found Evan's letter. He becomes furious at the mention of Zoe on the letter, thinking Evan intended for him to see the letter in order to make fun of him. He storms out, taking the letter with him.

Fanon
Treebros is the most popular ship of the fandom, arguably more popular than the musical's main ship, Zoevan. The most popular incarnation of this pairing is the original Broadway cast: Mike Faist and Ben Platt, as Connor and Evan respectively. Though other incarnations are still popular.
