Shuu:
-For him, it starts out of laziness. He’ll let you fight back a couple of times, seeing dealing with it as too much trouble. And then it sinks in that he kind of likes not having to make the choices. The connection honestly bothers Shuu more than the idea of submission, and the idea of opening himself up so much to someone brings up some of the worst of his trauma.
Reiji:
-His realization hits when you show no fear of him, making it very clear that he’s not going to be able to manipulate you. No piece of prey has ever refused to bend to his will before, and the shock of a total loss of control is enough to make Reiji start to slip. He’s mortified that he could ever enjoy losing his carefully constructed power, and denies any such feelings.
Ayato:
-In his case, it’s the stability. Ayato goes a long time without picking up on what’s going on his own head, and by the time he catches on that he’s liking when you take charge, its much, much too late. He’s so prideful that he has to have a fit about it, fighting to take back control, and furious that his “superiority” has been compromised in any way, even while it’s painfully obvious that he’s feeling more lost than he has in years.
Kanato:
-What gets to Kanato the most is the feeling of being wanted and taken care of. He has fits over every moment of it, but when he’s obedient, when you praise him, the dizzy, warm feeling is downright addictive. He fights desperately to convince himself that he’s still in charge, that he’s just using you, so by the time he comes to terms with what’s happening, it’s much too late.
Laito:
-He’s plenty open to being the submissive one, at least on a surface level. It’s when you manage to strike an emotional nerve that he starts to long for more. You make him feel flayed open in a way he never has, vulnerable, but safe. Laito is bound to panic at the thought of being so open to anyone, and this kind of weakness is going to come dangerously close to breaking him.
Subaru:
-When you stand up to him, refusing to be afraid of his temper, the sudden rush of feeling controlled is what gets him. Feeling like, no matter what he does, you’re not going to be afraid to stay with him and put him back in line is a staggering thing. Even though the shame is choking him, Subaru can’t help but be drawn to the foreign, painfully tempting stability.
Ruki:
-Ruki is difficult. The moment that gets him to finally break, though, is feeling taken care of. He’s been the one in charge, the one taking care of everyone for so long that the relief of someone doing so for him is what starts his change. He outright refuses to believe that he’d want you to take that position right up until he’s in way, way too deep to ever go back.
Kou:
-One of the main things that sways Kou is being able to see your intentions. When he uses his magic eye, and sees that you’re determined to put him in his place, the first cracks appear. He’s terrified of giving up control to anyone, but at the same time, he’s well aware that you don’t want to hurt him. It’s an adrenaline rush of a contrast, and that’s what gets him.
Yuuma:
-You could never physically overpower him in any way, so it’s a matter of getting inside his head, instead. What gets to Yuuma is the thrill; the knowledge that he’s letting a human do what they want to him. He actually takes the realization pretty well, however, he spends a long time keeping himself convinced that he’s just allowing you to do what you want.
Azusa:
-He’s already well aware that he prefers having his partner in charge, but the moment that it sinks in that he really, really like having you controlling him is when you finally do something to hurt him. It feels like you really love him, and as for his reaction, he’s more than willing to beg for you to keep him. Azusa has very little shame, and and this situation is a prime example.
Carla:
-His realization comes through the knowledge that he doesn’t have to be strong. You give him an escape from the personality that’s been very literally beaten into him, and once he figures it out, the idea looms over him like a threat. Carla would sooner die than admit that he wants to submit to you, the idea is so shameful, and he’ll resist until he completely breaks.
Shin:
-No one other than his brother has been able to control Shin in any way since he was a child. When he throws his absolute worst at you, and you stay perfectly calm and unaffected, willing to keep pushing no matter what he does, that’s what starts to break him. Of course, he’s going to have an absolute fit over feeling so “weak”, even before anything actually changes.
