How the PAs + Ex-Pops would react to being given a pet name
Okay, I couldn't stop thinking about Franco and how much I wish I could give him a cute nickname. Thus, this post was born. Just a bit of a heads up, this post may be a little corny. Enjoy anyway!
* He would think you're trying to emasculate him or make fun of him.
* Maybe he'd have a very slight soft spot for being called more southern nicknames. Like "pumpkin" or "sweetheart."
* Better yet, turn his own sweet talk against him. Call him "honey," watch him get all flustered and frustrated.
* If you really want to piss him off, do it in a condescending voice. Or, call him pet names when others are around.
* If you start calling Coyle sweet names in his trials, you might as well be putting him on high alert. Any loud sound? He's practically sprinting over.
* If you're in a group with other reagents, it's even worse. He's not just looking for you now. He's hunting down everyone else, too. He can't have your little friends goin' and telling everyone that he liked being called these names.
* You better start pleading for your life if he finds the culprit (you). He would punish you severely for being such a nuisance. Get ready to lose your rig and get an electric rod to the crotch.
* In private, he would be more forgiving. Maybe a little paranoid someone else would hear, but you might even get a few kisses. If you ask nicely, and if those pet names are said sincerely.
* I think, especially in private, Coyle would tease you about the names you give him. He would give you little "love taps" with his electric baton. Used more to startle you than to hurt you. He loves watching you get all jumpy.
* "You just like getting punished. Huh, sweetness?"
* She found it really odd at first, but she would grow to like it. I think it would depend on what nicknames you call her, too.
* I could see Mother Gooseberry enjoy being called "gorgeous" or "beautiful." Just not in a creepy way. She would only take a liking to it if you were sincere and sweet about it.
* Any other more specific nickname she would need more time getting accustomed to. Think of names like "peach" or "sun shine."
* Once she got used to the names, she would adore you. You were so kind and playful to her. You had the potential to be her favorite.
* Mother Gooseberry wouldn't even mind if you said it in front of other people. Well, unless that other person had a negative reaction to you calling her those names.
* Even then, Mother Gooseberry would be more upset with them than she would be with you. This goes for ex-pops, other prime assets, and reagents.
* Mr. Futterman would throw insults at you and make fun of Mother Gooseberry for liking it. Mother Gooseberry would insist you're just being her sweet gosling.
* Expect plenty of hugs whenever Mother Gooseberry catches you. She may still hurt you, but she's giving you the biggest and softest hug after.
* Mother Gooseberry would also seem happier, in a way. It's like she would light up when she saw you. She would sound more excited.
* "My baby gosling makes Mother feel so special! Mother wants to make you feel special, too."
* He would think you're just making fun of him, similar to Coyle. Well, at first.
* Franco would be angry with you when he first heard the pet names. I mean, who did you think you were? Trying to make him feel small?! The audacity.
* Then again, Franco would definitely have a bigger soft spot for pet names than Coyle would. Especially if you play your cards right. As in, balancing the coddling and making him feel strong. (Example: calling him sweet thing, then calling him prince.)
* Hear me out on this, calling him lovey or baby boy. I mention the pet name "lovey" because of those lovey baby blankets. Y'know, the ones that are part stuffed animal and part blanket? (These pet names would only be appreciated by him when you two had some level of trust.)
* Speaking of that level of trust, I don't think Franco would enjoy any pet names centered around appearance (handsome, pretty baby, etc.) unless he knew you were genuine.
* Moving on, like Coyle, Franco would be seething if you were calling him pet names to belittle him. I full-heartedly believe Franco is a loud complainer, and you would get an ear full.
* Expect windows to get shot and shattered just to get to you easier. He's bashing doors open and reloading Lupara a lot quicker.
* If he knew you were being sincere, the game would change. He would call out to you in trials, but play up the pet names himself. Constantly calling you sugar, sweetness, mommy, mama, and rabbit.
* If you refused to show yourself or if you were completing tasks too fast, he would start calling you slut and/or a whore. Which would be your signal to slow down, or he was going to force you to.
* He would check hiding spots more often, almost every time he passed by one. If he found you, the first thing you'd see is a toothy grin on his face.
* "Oh, baby's been missing you. You know how to make a man feel special, don't you, Mommy?"
* He would drag you back to his room (injure you if he had to), sit you down, and then cuddle you. Sucking on his thumb and forcing you to rock him back and forth.
* Whether or not they tolerated/liked it would be dependent on if you called them both pet names or not.
* If you just called one of them a pet name, then the other would get jealous and be upset with you.
* If you called them both a pet name, they would first find you intriguing. You were so sweet. It was hard to believe. Then again, that respect and adoration is what they deserve. So, they let you have your fun.
* Otto and Arora would keep their noise down just to hear you talk about them. Otto might even turn his saw off if you're lucky.
* Unlike Franco, I think pet names such as "handsome" and "beautiful" would be appreciated by them. Finally, someone recognizes their beauty!
* Don't mock them, though. Otto would rip you a new one if you did. Arora wouldn't play around either. She might make her tinctures stronger just to silence you.
* Otto and Arora would take you for quite the charmer as well. You would 100% hear them talking about you. It's not often they come across someone so bold.
* "Quite charming, aren't they my love?"
* "They would make a good pet."
* They wouldn't mind if you had called them pet names in front of other people. However, they expect you to fight for them. If someone didn't agree with how you viewed them, you better hope you have a silver tongue.
* Liliya wouldn't be too surprised. She's used to the adoration and flattery. Then again, no one used the same names as you. She knew your praise was different.
* She would see it as a form of acceptance and love from you.
* You were different, but she would grow to like you and your antics. Dare I say she would quiet her voice(s) just so she could hear yours?
* Liliya would enjoy pet names that are more graceful and carry more weight. Names like heaven, or divine one. If you and Liliya ever got into a relationship, maybe even soulmate.
* Liliya wouldn't even mind you referring to her as such names when talking to other reagents or staff. To her, you were just making her known to them.
* She would get upset if you called her all these pretty names and then got scared of her when she pounced you. (Aside from the initial jumpscare.)
* Liliya would absolutely be giving you nicknames or her own. "Beloved" was a classic, but she would venture into more meaningful names. "Angel" would become one of her favorites to call you.
* She would miss you when you weren't in her trials. She had others who adored her, yes, but no one did it like you. She would bother the staff. Not just in the trials but in the sleep rooms, too.
* "Give my precious angel back to me."
* Pusher would be confused, maybe even surprised if he wasn't so mellow.
* That's not to say he wouldn't appreciate it because he would. I think Pusher would be more giddy than flattered. Just happy someone genuinely seems to like him.
* Pusher seems the type to appreciate more silly and/or simple pet names. Sexy and baby are right up his alley, I mean, he calls you baby too.
* If you become his favorite reagent or share a special connection, then maybe even babe or hottie.
* Pusher would get all close to you in trials, pulling you so close you might as well be hugging him.
* "You like what you see, baby?"
* Pusher wouldn't mind you referring to him as pet names when talking to other people. If said reagent or staff makes you feel bad for liking him, he can always make their next trial a living nightmare.
* Pitcher would find it really weird at first. He's not one for relationships or closeness with other people.
* Over time, I believe he would become accustomed to it. Maybe even start liking it.
* When Pitcher did start liking it, you noticed he became less angry with you. He didn't strain his voice so much, and he was generally quieter.
* Pitcher wasn't a huge fan of you going around telling others what you call him. That was something special between the two of you. He didn't want Murkoff or other reagents interfering.
* Pitcher liked it when you called him hot stuff or hot lips. To him, it was like giving respect to his devotion. In fact, he would give you a reason to call him hot lips.
* If you started calling him hot lips, expect Pitcher to pin you to the floor, press the nozzle of his mask to your skin, and brand you. Not just to see you squirm, but the mark would be a symbol of his connection with you. He can't speak, after all.
* You wanted to call him hot? You were gonna feel his heat.
* The Night Hunter would absolutely adore it. No matter what name you gave him, he'd think you were flirting with him.
* Not only would he enjoy the flirting, but it was nice for him to receive what he's been dishing out. I mean, he calls you all sorts of names. Glow worm, honey, little mouse, you name it.
* Once the Night Hunter laid eyes on you in a trial, you practically wouldn't be able to get rid of him. He would even brave the lights just to follow you. For a certain amount of time anyway.
* I don't think the Night Hunter would care what you called him. Sweet or degrading, meaningful or simple, silly or serious, anything.
* He would feel extra special if you gave him a nickname specific to him, though. Like how he calls you glow worm.
* He also couldn't care less about what other people thought about your connection with him. If other reagents judged you, he'd make sure they'd never speak again.
* The Night Hunter would get angry with the staff, too. He couldn't hurt them, but he would berate and insult them. Telling them to leave you alone and mind their own business.
* "Such a naughty glow worm, why don't you come play with me?"
