omg…… wait do any of the cat boys in the hybrid au do that cute butt lift thing that cats do when you scratch their lower back? like its unconscious but they feel so good they just… present themselves to you
Since I think most-to-least style suits this question best…
. . .
Kirsch — It’s half reflex and half a deliberate attempt to look cute, but Kirsch by far shows that response the most. Even a light brush against his lower back has him leaning into the touch and arching enough to nearly topple over backward.
Like Two — He’ll lash out at any wandering hands that venture too low mostly out of fear of being groped… but anyone who does manage to pet near his tail gets the (debatably more humiliating) reaction of Like Two arching into the touch with a yelp. He fails to suppress the reflex every time.
Like2 — He’s pretty good at controlling that response, but persistent touch will eventually result in a twitchy, half-stifled arch. It’s always embarrassing when you force some instinctive behavior out of him; at least this one feels nice.
Love1 — Very deliberate scritches near the base of his tail can bring out that instinct, but it’s not very intense. Arching his back like that makes him hurt, so Love1 assumes his body just plain knows better than to make him lean into just any touch.
Parume — He doesn’t really have that instinct built into him, but he’ll absolutely fake it if he thinks it’ll earn favor from you (or just to fit with his image). Still, he hasn’t had many chances to attempt that thanks to a sheer lack of petting.
