pet au: how would the boys react to their owner or s/o being kind enough to teach them that it’s okay to do things like people do?? like teaching them to be able to walk upright, give them better vocabs/how to read and write, say no to particular advances, etc?? i’d imagine it’d be painful and confusing for them, but i thought i’d ask anyway .u.

Admin Mawile: ((*゜Д゜)ゞ” Yeah… that won’t end so well. 

Shuu:

-It’s too much to expect of him. He’s a bad pet already, and expecting him to manage human things too is just more than he can do. All you’re doing is finding more things to punish him for failing, and he can’t see the lessons as anything but a creative way of making him miserable. 

Reiji:

-As much as he wants to learn anything an owner asks of him, behaving like a human goes against every bit of training in him. You’re forcing him against the two most driving forces of his personality, and the stress of having to choose between obedience and good behavior might actually hurt him. 

Ayato:

-While he’s always desperate to please his owner in anything you ask of him, it’s impossible to do this. It’s not right for him to act like a human, and even if he did do as you say, it would be just giving you reasons to hurt him. He’s not allowed to act like a person, and you both know that. 

Kanato:

-Most likely, he’ll break down sobbing from the very first request. He’ll obviously be punished if he steps out of his place and tries to act like a person, but disobeying you would be just as bad. There’s no way for him to get out of this situation without being hurt, and he’s all but panicking. 

Laito:

-Almost immediately, he assume you’re looking for reasons to hurt him. If he hasn’t done something already, what you’re asking of him will definitely qualify. He expects this kind of cruel trickery from humans, and despite knowing there’s no way to win, he still feels desperate to do something right. 

Subaru:

-He’s bad enough without attempting to act human, and if you were just looking for an excuse to hurt him, there already would have been many. This has to be something even more cruel; maybe you just enjoy watching him struggle? Either way, the stress feels like physical pain crushing him. 

Ruki:

-He may be used to functioning on his own, but stepping so far out of a pet’s place in the presence of an owner is the kind of thing he knows he could be killed for. He’s terrified of what you’ll do if he denies you, but it’s been beaten into him to never cross the lines of a pet. 

Kou:

-Just behaving as a pet near you is hard enough, much less being forced out of the one place he’s finally become comfortable in. When he’s still barely able to tolerate your presence, trying to change literally everything about how he knows to live might actually give him a breakdown. 

Yuuma:

-He’s already afraid of you getting rid of him, and being forced to act like a person will just elevate that fear to crushing levels. It’s wrong to step out of his place as a pet, and it’s basically giving you an excuse to hurt him or throw him away for crossing lines a mere pet never should. 

Azusa:

-He wants to obey you more than anything, and he’s by no means afraid of the pain of punishment, but it still feels like you’re going to get angry if he does as you say. He’s a pet, right? Isn’t it just wrong for him to act like a person? He’s so confused he might shut down a little. 

Carla:

-He’s content as a pet. There’s no need to tease him with a bright future he could ever have, not when he’s already worthless and dying. He’s hardly strong enough to function as a pet, much less find the energy to learn a whole new way of behaving on an owner’s whim. 

Shin:

-Honestly, he takes it as your attempt to torment him, dangling the freedom he could never really have over his head like some kind of sick joke. He knows exactly what he’s allowed to do, and you’re all but luring him into a trap to hurt him either for disobeying or getting too full of himself.
