sleeping hcs for all the boys? like what positions, how deeply they sleep, and what kind of dreams/nightmares?

Admin Mawile:╰( ･ ᗜ ･ )╯

Shuu:

-Can sleep in practically any position, anywhere, any time. Half of the places he falls asleep in can’t be comfortable, and yet he seems perfectly at ease in them. He’s an incredibly deep sleeper, and general doesn’t dream, save occasional nightmares which are always about fire.

Reiji:

-Sleeps stiffly on his back, sometimes curling up when he has a bad nightmare. Reiji is a very light sleeper, and can wake himself up just by rolling over. He has horrible, constant nightmares that make it difficult, if not impossible to get any real rest. He refuses to take any naps, even to make up for lost sleep.

Ayato:

-Sprawled out and turned sort of sideways is his default sleeping position. He drools, snores, and kicks in his sleep, and somehow almost always wakes up facing some strange direction. He has weird, vivid dreams, and frequent nightmares, usually about his mother.

Kanato:

-He sleeps all curled up in a little ball, clinging on to Teddy fiercely. He’s a light sleeper who has to stay wrapped up in blankets at all times, and he’ll wake up instantly if Teddy falls out of his grasp. He hates sleeping much because of the nightmares that come, and stays up much longer than is healthy.

Laito:

-Laito sleeps on his stomach, a bit curled in on himself, and almost always hugs a body pillow . He’s a fairly light sleeper who has bad nightmares and tends to make little noises in his sleep. His face is very unguarded during sleep, and shows more of his real emotions that he ever lets slip when he’s awake.

Subaru:

-Sleeps on his side, hands pulled in close to his chest, and his back pressing up against the side of his coffin. Subaru isn’t really a heavy or light sleeper, but thanks to so long sleeping in his coffin, he has trouble falling asleep in a bed. Has rare, but disturbing nightmares and few other dreams.

Ruki:

-Usually sleeps on his stomach, because extended pressure against his scars makes them ache. Deep, sound, sleeper who can never sleep more than six hours at a time. He has frequent insomnia, but doesn’t need a lot of sleep to function. Almost never dreams, but when he does, they’re awful nightmares.

Kou:

-A light sleeper who tosses and turns, and tends to cry and mumble and make little miserable noises in his sleep because of nightmares. Sleeps on his side with his hands clutching the blankets, and his legs sort of curled in. Noise doesn’t really wake him up, but any kind of contact does.

Yuuma:

-Winds up in strange positions, all twisted around in ways that don’t seem the slightest bit natural or comfortable. Snores like a freight train and clings on to anyone or anything that’s in bed with him. Has one strange nightmare that always repeats, about a fire a place he can’t quite remember.

Azusa:

-A very, very deep sleeper who snores quietly and stays curled in a tight little ball, limbs all pulled in close to his body. He has realistic dreams, although they usually turn to nightmares, and nothing short of a good shake can wake him up. Gravitates to anything warm while asleep.

Carla:

-Carla loses all composure when he’s asleep. Sleeps stretched out on his side, hair a wild mess fanning out around his head, and sometimes drools a little. He’s a deep sleeper who can sleep through almost anything, and while he does have horrible nightmares, he’ll never show that they bother him.

Shin:

-Sleeps on either his stomach or back, and takes up a ton of space. He spreads out and rolls around, mumble and sometimes talks in his sleep, and can jolt awake for a few minutes before going right back to sleep. Has strange, vague dreams and frequent nightmares about past traumas.

Hey! For the pet Au: how would the boys react if they were bought/found/whatever, and the person treated them more like a friend than a pet? Cos it looks like a lot of their phychology is based off the ‘being a pet’ thing and being someone’s property, rather than being treated well. S, M, and T if possible!

Admin Mawile:ヾ(＠°▽°＠)ﾉ Yep, you’re right about the psychology!! And I’m writing how they’d be at first, their initial reactions to the treatment before they realize that it’s not some kind of trick or unusual punishment, kay?

Shuu:

-Shuu would have thought that finally being left alone, not trained or punished or expected to perform would be a good thing. But the sudden lack of seemingly any interest in him is just sickening. He has to have done something wrong, this isn’t normal, it isn’t right.

Reiji:

-It makes him more neurotic than ever, anxious and stir-crazy without some kind of purpose. Reiji has spent his whole life trying to become the best pet possible, and having his one source of value taken away makes him think that he’s really just been deemed worthless.

Ayato:

-He’s convinced that he’s done something wrong, been bad enough that they’re not bothering with him anymore, maybe getting ready to return or sell him for not being worth their time. If anything, not being treated like a pet just makes Ayato try twice as hard to be good one.

Kanato:

-Is he crying too much? I he too noisy or too quiet or not responsive enough? There has to be some reason why his new owner doesn’t want him. They may not be hurting him yet, but that just means something worse is coming. Whatever he’s doing wrong, he’ll fix it.

Laito:

-An owner not treating him like a proper pet means something is very, very wrong. Laito’s world view is unmovable, anything that goes against it has to be a sign of something bad, and an owner going against everything he’s supposed to be is just a whole new kind of cruelty to him.

Subaru:

-He’s beyond suspicious, he’s sick with worry that they’re plotting something, hiding the pain that’s to come behind the kind, fake, way they act. There’s no way a human would bother to buy him just to ignore his every purpose, they have to be planning to do something horrible as soon as he relaxes.

Ruki:

-No human, no owner, would have any legitimate reason to treat him so well. They have to be planning something, either that or they just see no use for him. A home this kind isn’t real, can’t be, especially not for a scared, branded, worthless, low quality stray.

Kou:

-They probably can’t get close enough for him to notice the difference. Kou panics around humans, an owner all the more so, hiding and crying and doing anything to keep them away. He’d be so sick with fear that he’d barely notice that they weren’t punishing him for lashing out.

Yuuma:

-Yeah, they’re up to something. He’s not the type of pet that gets treated nicely, at best, he’s for physical labor, not some valuable purebred that an owner would want to fuss over. They’re planning something, something so painful and awful that it warrants such an elaborate act to set it up. He’s terrified.

Azusa:

-What has he done so wrong that they won’t even use him? Could he possibly be so worthless that his owner doesn’t even want to hurt him? It makes Azusa miserable, thinking that he’s so unwanted, so bad and useless that he isn’t even allowed to be punished for it.

Carla:

-He’s been so good, even if he’s weak and sick, he can’t deserve being thrown away like this. Carla wholeheartedly believes that there’s no use in him beyond a pet, that if he’s not pleasing an owner, he should be dead, and for how cruel this owner is being, it probably won’t be long until he is.

Shin:

-He’s known cruel owners before, but pretending to be so nice is a whole new kind of sadism. Shin knows that they’re just tricking him into messing up, into letting his guard down and giving them a reason to hurt him or send him back to be put down for sure, and he’s not falling for it.

I’m on my phone so I can’t read the rules so hopefully this is fine. Do you do reactions for the Pet AU? I kinda wanna know what would be their reaction if they actually got adopted. If you don’t then feel free to ignore this. Love ur blog

Admin Mawile: (๑ゝω╹๑) Your request is fine!! And thank you so much!!!

Shuu:

-There’s endless relief at being saved from veritable death row, but the longer he thinks about what kind of person would want a pet with his history of laziness and faults, the more nervous he becomes.

Reiji:

-Of course he did! He’s done everything to be the best pet possible, of course someone finally found him worth buying. Inside, he’s so relieved he could cry. He won’t be put down, he won’t die for being useless

Ayato:

-A sort of happy-shock, ecstatic that all his work and training and good breeding could finally pay off, but still wondering what kind of person was willing to look past his age and other flaws.

Kanato:

-Literally crying with joy, thinking of all the ways he can please them and avoid further pain. He can be good, he can be so good, and whoever’s adopting him will have to be happy enough to not want to hurt him anymore.

Laito:

-Happy, but worried about the all new traumas he knows could be coming. Humans are cruel, and while having an owner saves him from certain death, but owners can do things even more painful if he’s not good enough.

Subaru:

-He’s somewhere between amazed and terrified. Subaru can’t believe anyone would want him, but considering his status as unsafe to adopt, whoever has must be one of the illegal, feared fighting rings or some kind of hard labor.

Ruki:

-If his brothers aren’t safe, he’d do anything to escape or be thrown out again. Even if it’s a good home, he couldn’t live happily while the others are alone on the streets. He’d rather die with them than live knowing that he left them.

Kou:

–Scared half to death. Humans have never done anything but hurt him. Being taken into one of their homes just means whoever has him is going to have all the power and resources they need to hurt him even more.

Yuuma:

-He’s in a state of disbelief, unable to understand what would make an owner want him. Unless they’re just going to work him to death or use him in fights, make use of his strength for the rest of the short life he’d have.

Azusa:

-He’s happy, so happy to be wanted and have a home, but owners are still so scary. If they don’t like him, he could be forgotten about, locked up or thrown away and never wanted again.

Carla:

-What if they weren’t told about his illness? If he, a precious First Blood, turns out to be such a disappointment to an owner, and was still stuck with them, the slow death he’s succumbing to would be nothing in comparison.

Shin:

-Being saved from death row is wonderful, but after the incident with his eye, he’s more than wary of any new owners. He has to be good, good enough that they can’t justify hurting him any more.

What would happen if the Regular! Diaboys + Yui met the Pet! (+Yui) and Xeno! Diaboys (and their Yui of she has any differences) at once. What would everyone’s reaction towards each other?

Admin Mawile:╰(・∇・╰)

Yui:

-Yui is more than a little horrified of what’s become of her tormentors in this universe. They may have been cruel, but does any creature deserve to be treated so horribly? It seems that the most her other self can do to help is volunteer to pick up the pieces.

-Pet Au!Yui can hardly believe there’s a world where vampires prey upon humans. As sickening as their treatment is, the creatures she’s known seem hardly capable of such violent measures. Couldn’t there be a world where both sides get along, without one oppressing the other?

Shuu:

-This version of himself is wrong. He couldn’t be that broken, could he? Shuu has seen and felt his share of misery, but the look of sheer torment in his own eyes jabs at something inside of him that aches. It’s wrong, it’s so wrong, and Shuu would most rather go back to sleep and pretend this never existed.

-There are differences, yes, but to Pet Au!Shuu, he and his alternate universe counterpart are very similar. He can’t imagine acting so bold or antagonistic, but the desire to go to sleep and never wake up, to escape the unbearable life he’s stuck in is the same in both of them, to him.

Reiji:

-The sight of himself, a pitiful, desperate wreck almost makes Reiji physically ill. All the worst parts of himself, the most shameful fears that he’s done nothing but bury and hide, are all displayed in this creature’s eyes so plainly, so openly, it’s beyond painful to even be near.

-Pet Au!Reiji is both amazed and sickened by his other self. He’d never imagined he could look so… composed, have such perfect control over his visible self. But at the same time, this other him is doing so little with the home and safety he has, wasting the chance that this Reiji would die for.

Ayato:

-Ayato couldn’t be more horrified. This version of himself brings back all the worst memories of a time when he was just as afraid, memories that he’d much rather never have to think of again. All Ayato wants to do is stay far away from this ruined, miserable self.

-Pet Au!Ayato is somewhere between shocked and horribly envious. This alternate universe version of himself is loud, arrogant, rude, everything that he would have been beaten or killed for. It’s wrong, it’s horrible, but he can’t help but covet that kind of freedom.

Kanato:

-Seeing himself acting like a broken little doll is disturbing in all the wrong ways. It’s his own face with such a miserable, pitiful look on it, and Kanato can hardly stand it. He’d shove his alternate universe self away in an instant, a little too aware of the last time he himself had such an expression.

-Pet Au!Kanato hardly resisters that what he’s seeing is real. He’s convinced it’s just another hallucination, brought on by exhaustion and pain. He’d never dare make such an angry, disrespectful face, especially not where a human could see it and enact punishment.

Laito:

-Laito sees things in his alternate universe self that he’s been trying to suppress for decades, and it does not sit well. Something about the vulnerable, broken look in his eyes is sickening, and he can’t stand looking at this pathetic “him” for long.

-Pet Au!Laito can’t believe he could ever be so… carefree. His alternate self smiles and laughs and truly makes it seem like nothing’s wrong, something he himself could never quite manage, and yet, there’s a matching deep in this one’s eyes too, an exact parallel of his own.

Subaru:

-His first reaction is rage. Seeing himself a veritable mirror of the pain and anxiety that’s always boiled deep within him is unbearable. Subaru would yell, fly into his usual violent behavior, anything not to think about the anguish is his, no, that thing’s eyes.

-Pet Au! Subaru reacts much the same. Violence, anger, anything to cover up how distressed he is at the sight of a double. Although, he understands why this one hates him so much, as pathetic, worthless as he is, no wonder even himself doesn’t want anything to do with him.

Ruki:

-He’s repulsed, sickened. As if the brands weren’t bad enough, seeing what may as well be himself, covered in scars and with a broken look Ruki never would have thought himself capable of. He’d thought he trained himself out of such weak reactions, but a fresh wave of nausea and pain surge at the sight.

-Pet Au!Ruki can see that even though this him isn’t anywhere near as ruined, they’re more similar than either of them want to think about. Seeing his every weakness reflected back at him like a mirror is beyond unpleasant, the look of shock and terror in his double’s eyes bringing back painful memories.

Kou:

-The sight of this destroyed version of himself sends Kou into a near panic attack. He can feel it, all at once, upon looking at “himself”, all the memories of his torture come flooding back with a vengeance. Possibly the worst of all are the two dark holes where this self’s fangs should have been.

-Chances are Pet Au!Kou would be hardly lucid enough to really take in his alternate universe self. He’d most likely see it as another nightmare, a vision sent to taunt him with everything he’s lost. The sickened expression on his other’s face just proves he’s here to torment.

Yuuma:

-It’s… bizarre. No matter how Yuuma looks at it, a him that’s quiet and out of the way just doesn’t make any sense. So he tells himself it isn’t real, that there’s no way this pitiful apparition could ever be him. (Better that, than think about where all those unfamiliar scars could have come from.)

-Pet Au!Yuuma is well and truly jealous. This alternate universe version of himself has everything he ever wanted and then some. He can’t quite bring himself to act on it (lashing out against someone stronger is a death sentence, he knows), but the anger won’t quit churning.

Azusa:

-His first thought is how much pain this other self must have been through, and how much he wishes it could have been him instead. But, if this person is really him, than isn’t he pleased to have hurt so much? For someone who gets to have pain every day, he doesn’t seem very happy.

-While Pet Au!Azusa loves pain just as much as his counterpart, there are some kinds that aren’t good at all. This him understands the good hurt like no one else has, but… there’s something different, his attitude too pushy, he can’t make a very good pet like that…

Carla:

-Carla can’t tell whether he’s angry or horrified. There’s something so wrong (familiar) about the pained, broken look in his double’s eyes. He can’t be this, he can’t, there’s no way he could ever look so weak. Carla doesn’t stick around long, unable to even look his other self in the eye.

-Pet Au!Carla has a similar, but much more subdued reaction. There’s a sense of horror, that this can’t be him, followed up by the sickening revelation that even in a world where he’s more than a pricey pet, he’s still doomed to die from the same disease, still falling victim to the same flaws.

Shin:

-First and foremost, it’s infuriating. How can he possibly look so weak?! It’s wrong, it’s disgusting! But then, Shin sees the holes where fangs should be, the grotesque scars around his eyes, and everything crashes down. Then it’s not anger he’s feeling, but some awful mix of terror and nausea.

-This “him” got to live as a prince, huh? If he hadn’t had it beaten out of him before, Pet Au!Shin would be fuming. But he’s been trained, he knows better than to get angry with a superior by now, so he bows his head and looks away as his vicious double hurls insults.

Oh wow, this blog is so interesting, I absolutely love it! You’re both doing such an awesome job! I was wondering if the guys were to get an ‘owner’ in the Pet AU, how would they act towards them? Also I noticed you mentioned within this AU that there’s a custom of defanging; have any of the guys had their fangs removed? Thanks and I hope you both have a great day :)

Admin Mawile: Σ(ノ°▽°)ノ Thank you!!!

First to answer the de-fanging bit: Subaru has likely lost his for being “dangerous”. He has quite the history of acting out, and to make him supposedly safer to own, his fangs were taken out as a young teen, about the time the outbursts started. Yuuma has his out for similar reasons. When he was in the shelter, his sheer size made him too intimidating for most people to consider adopting, so his fangs were removed to make him seem like less of a threat. Kou’s were removed by his torturers at the shelter, for little reason other than that they found the helplessness and the sight of it appealing. Finally, Shin’s were taken out after a certain incident, to make up for him having been returned once, and to ensure to potential buyers that he was no harm.

Shuu:

-Much, much less lazy. He’s still lethargic and constantly tired, but the pressure that keeping this new chance at life he’s been given instills is too great to lose. He stays quiet and out of the way, but gains a newfound desire to make himself useful, anything to keep from being sent back.

Reiji:

-With a real owner, Reiji becomes, if possible, even more desperate to please. He finally has what he’s been striving for for years, and he’d do anything not to have it taken away. He’s almost overbearing with it, constantly pushing to do something to please his new owner, overly eager to prove his worth.

Ayato:

-He’s pushy, trying to force his way into their favor in any way he can. Having and owner, being an object of value to a human is the only thing he’s lived for, and he’s desperate to get there. No matter what he has to go through to get there, he has to be important to them.

Kanato:

-Honestly, he’s terrified. Being someone’s prized possession is what he’s been raised for, but humans have done nothing but cause him pain. He can’t get over the trained fear that any contact from a human means hurt, all he can think about is what horrible things this new person could do to him.

Laito:

-Laito is surprisingly well behaved. He stays out of trouble more than most of his brothers, and with an owner, he’d be just as good. That perfect behavior comes at a heavy cost to his mental state, but what’s a little more suffering if it can save him from something worse?

Subaru:

-If anyone adopted him, chance are they’re part of an illegal fighting ring, or something equally horrible. Subaru has been deemed unsalable, so bad that no normal owner would ever want him. He’d try, though, if anyone would give him another chance, he’d try so hard to be good this time.

Ruki:

-Ruki knows how to behave. The only reason he doesn’t have an owner is his status as a a mutt and a stray. In a real home (and if he was sure his brothers were safe), he’d be an excellent pet, quiet, obedient, and willing to suppress his own fear and pain to do what’s expected of him.

Kou:

-Humans, owners have caused Kou more pain than anything. He can’t even function anymore, what more do they want to take from him? He’s too afraid to hardly be in the same room as them, hysteric with the fear that he’s going to be hurt again, like he was at the shelter.

Yuuma:

-He genuinely tries to be obedient, to stay out of the way and look harmless, but his size, strength and rough nature make it hard. Humans have never liked how intimidating he is, and if taking out his teeth wasn’t enough to prove he’s safe to own, what would be?

Azusa:

-He’s almost instinctively wary around humans, so used to them wanting him out of their sight it’s almost second nature to hide. He’s slow, but accepting (a little too accepting) of whatever pain and punishment an owner feels necessary, so pliant and obedient it’s more creepy than pleasing.

Carla:

-Carla has been literally trained from birth to be the best pet possible. He’s a near perfect example of the right combination of out of the way and eager to please, quiet and inoffensive, yet composed and obedient. If it wasn’t for his illness and the weakness it causes him, he’d be almost the ideal.

Shin:

-His rebellious days are behind him, okay? He learned his lesson the first time and he’d never be that bad again. He’s well trained and safe now, even with an eye out he’s still pretty and he’d be so good. If an owner took a chance on him again, they’d never regret it.

Pet AU: What are the Diaboys’ daily lives?

Admin Mawile: (o゜◇゜)ノ

Shuu:

-He mostly tries to stay out of the way and not do anything to warrant punishing. Shuu would rather sleep in a dark corner somewhere and be forgotten about than risk making an owner angry, and he’s gotten pretty good at escaping notice.

Reiji:

-Typically, pets are either left in solitary confinement, caged, or with each other when not otherwise needed. Reiji rarely does anything to earn solitary confinement or extra restraint, so most of his time is spent in the same holding room as whichever of his brothers aren’t in trouble at the time.

Ayato:

-He does try to behave, but his efforts frequently do more harm than good. Thus, Ayato is often in some kind of punishment, whether directly delivered by an owner, or left in isolation to keep him out of the way. Most trainers dislike dealing with him due to his excitable, impulsive nature.

Kanato:

-Kanato is easily upset and often incoherent, so (for his own safety, as it’s said), he’s often kept well restrained and/or by himself. Unfortunately, the isolation makes him even more unstable, creating a vicious cycle of acting out and suffering the consequences for it.

Laito:

-Since he’s mostly well behaved, Laito doesn’t spend a lot of time locked away by himself. He’s known for being obedient and easy to deal with, so he’s often allowed to stay with his brothers and relatively unrestrained. However, his minuscule amount of freedom doesn’t do him a lot of good.

Subaru:

-Because of his violent outbursts, he spends a lot of time in solitary confinement, which basically entails being alone and tightly restrained in a small, dark room where he can’t bother anyone. Since he’s been deemed unsafe to own, no one really cares what happens to him anymore.

Ruki:

-He and his brothers spend every day trying to survive. If they’re caught by humans, they’d be killed, and finding food and shelter while avoiding capture is no easy feat. Since Ruki is the appointed “leader”, it’s become his responsibility to make sure they succeed.

Kou:

-Thanks to the years’ worth of traumas (both physical and mental) he’s accumulated, most days, Kou can’t do much more than curl up and try to make it through the nightmares. Even something so seemingly simple as sitting up at the wrong time can set off a chain of panic and pain.

Yuuma:

-Helping Ruki take care of the weaker two, mostly. Since he’s bigger, stronger, and more alert than Azusa, Ruki usually takes him on their food missions. Humans are much more aware (and wary) of him due to his intimidating figure, though, so he has to be very careful when out.

Azusa:

-Azusa is weak and spacey enough that Ruki doesn’t want him anywhere dangerous or demanding, so his job is usually keeping an eye on Kou, and making sure he doesn’t injure himself or have to be by himself when he’s stuck in one of his frequent nightmares.

Carla:

-Since his illness started to weaken him, Carla has been left out of anything thought to be too harsh for him. In an attempt to slow the progression of the illness and keep his body from further stress, he’s mostly left alone to rest. And yet, he remains exhausted and pained more often than not.

Shin:

-With his brother mostly out of commission, Shin is the one who has to do more. Aside from the daily training (to make sure he’s always well behaved and ready to sell), he’s often shown off to interested parties as a rare, well bred First Blood, lower quality younger brother he may be.

So if pets that don’t get sold get put down, how close are the guys to that?

Admin Mawile: (*´-｀*)

Shuu:

-Sadly, pretty close. He’s lethargic and reserved, and so far from an ideal, eager-to-please pet that coupled with him nearing adulthood, his seller doesn’t want to waste much more time and resources on him.

Reiji:

-Actually, other than his age, Reiji doesn’t have a lot of reasons why he shouldn’t be purchased. His worry about being put down is mostly paranoia, but the day very well could be coming.

Ayato:

-As obsessed as Ayato is with being worth something to an owner, no one has yet to show any interest. Well trained or not, no seller wants to keep wasting time and effort on one of the many that just doesn’t sell.

Kanato:

-He’s plenty well-behaved, but his strange, disconnected personality has put off all potential buyers. If no one takes an interest soon, well, there isn’t anyone who really wants to keep him alive.

Laito:

-Laito’s main problem is his age. His good breeding and temperament have gotten him this far, but he’s aging out of the window where anyone would be willing to adopt. His chances still aren’t bad, though.

Subaru:

-It could happen any day. Subaru has a history of violent behavior, and no good pet is dangerous. He’s been removed from the adoption list, and if no less-than-legal buyer takes him, he’s done for.

Ruki:

-As strays, he and his brothers would be subject to instant disposal. Ruki’s temperament is fine, but his scarred, branded body, poor pedigree, and history of being an escaped stray strip away any worth he may have had.

Kou:

-If the four of them are found, chances are he would be killed immediately. His body is scarred and broken, and his mind just as destroyed. There’s very little to Kou left that would have any value to an owner.

Yuuma:

-All strays are just out of luck, of course, but Yuuma has even more hurting his chances. His burn scars and large size make him look more like a torn up fighter than any kind of pet.

Azusa:

-Azusa is more than obedient enough for a seeming untrained stray, but no one would want a pet as damaged as him. Even as eager to please as he is, there’d be no hesitation to just get rid of him.

Carla:

-No one wants to put a purebred First Blood down, especially not one as well trained as Carla is. But his illness takes away a lot of value, and his breeder is considering just cutting his losses and getting rid of defective merchandise.

Shin:

-His missing eye may be a bit of a problem, but Shin is still doing pretty well. As long as he doesn’t get really unlucky, he should find an owner long before anyone seriously considers getting rid of him.
