You sit in front of the door to your home, waiting for your owner to get back from work, always feeling so sad when she's gone. You can't wait for her to get back, so you can cuddle, and get lots of pets and scritches, and do lots of tricks for her! You even get to be her test dummy for all her hypnosis practice. But that's alright... because hypnosis doesn't work on you.~

Hypnosis didn’t work on you.

You knew that, and you always had. It was a silly idea in the first place, to even consider it. That someone could control your mind with just their words? Laughable, even. You had a steel mind, and there was no getting past that, no way to even scratch at its stainless surface.

You’d always been interested in the idea of hypnosis, probably because of how outlandish and impossible it sounded. You’d watched the silly videos of performative hypnosis, seeing people get up and sing at the top of their lungs at a mere suggestion, or try their hardest to fly like a bird despite their lack of any wings, flapping their arms desperately like they knew they could take off into the air. The sight that always made your tummy feel fuzzy was when the hypnotist snapped and their heads dropped, instantly out like a light.

But of course it wouldn’t work on you. As much as it fascinated you to watch, you knew all those “random volunteers” were just a part of the show, actors who’d practiced to play along with it and sell the idea. But that didn’t stop your fascination. A few times in the past, you’d found yourself listening to files you’d found on the internet laying down in your bed with your headphones on and zoning out for a while. You always felt pretty well rested and relaxed by the time you came back to, like you’d had a nice nap, but with no lingering effects, much to your dismay.

Hypnosis didn’t work on you.

So when your owner first suggested trying it over a video call, you shrugged it off at first, telling her that it wouldn’t have any effect. She was really insistent on wanting to try it regardless, and with how excited she seemed about it, it was hard to just tell her no outright. So you decided to humor her and let her try to hypnotize you, just to prove that it wouldn’t work. You’d gotten all comfortable for her, leaned back, and relaxed, and once more, you had a nice nap, and nothing more.

Despite it not having any effect, she seemed to have a really good time trying it, and she was very excited to try it again sometime, apparently really wanting to practice her skills. It meant you’d get a comfortable nap out of it, so you were willing to be her test dummy, practicing all kinds of new inductions and deepeners, and while they never had any effect on you, she seemed to really appreciate having someone to practice all of her wordings and techniques on. And you didn’t have any problem being her test subject.

After all, hypnosis didn’t work on you.

It had been quite a while since you’d first started your silly routine together. After plenty of savings and a lot of planning, your long-distance relationship had turned into an in-person one, with you moving to stay with her. It felt so nice to be close to her, and actually get to spend time with her face to face. Though your routine hadn’t changed, your owner always making sure to practice her hypnosis on you. Now that you were with her in person, your naps felt even deeper and more relaxing, which you certainly weren’t complaining about, and you still didn’t have to worry about any silly side effects, thanks to your steel mind.

With your thoughts focused on her, you smiled a dreamy smile, letting out a slow sigh. Your owner was so wonderful. Kind, sweet and caring, and very beautiful… any time she smiled or laughed, you felt your heart skip a beat, and any time she was close, the whole world felt so warm and comfortable. You felt a bit of longing for that warmth as you thought about her, wishing she were here… she was at work right now, and you couldn’t see her until she got back home. That always made you feel so sad, not having her around… but you knew she’d be back soon! She always came back before too long, and you got to spend time with her again.

You’d mostly been pacing around your home aimlessly for a while, without much to do as you waited for her. It was always just so boring without her! It felt like she’d left home a thousand years ago with how long it had been since you last got to see her smile, walking out the door and waving at you. But that just meant she’d be back soon. So all you had to do was wait for her obediently, and she’d come back and you’d get to make her smile and laugh all day.

Your ears perked up at the sound of the lock clicking, and immediately you bolted for the door, a big smile on your face. She was finally home! You made it to the door just as she opened it up, sitting down just in front of her and wagging your tail, eyes wide and smile big at the sight of her. And she smiled right back! Your heart leapt with joy as she did, watching her turn around and close the door behind her, going through the same motions she always did as she got home. Putting her keys on the ring, hanging up her coat, and then finally turning around to look at you with that smile that made your heart sing for joy.

“Hello there!” she said in her sing-song voice, like music to your ears. “Aww, did someone miss me today?” You immediately whimpered, trying to convey to her just how desperately you missed her being around. You hated that she had to go to work all the time, why couldn’t she just stay here with you? She crouched down and gently pet the back of your head, scritching just behind your ear just where it felt the best. You closed your eyes and felt yourself shiver at the amazing feeling, your leg thumping all on its own. You leaned into her touch, wanting it to never go away, but as always, it had to. That was okay though, you had the whole rest of the day to spend with her!

“That’s alright, cutie, I’ll make it up to you. Come on!” With two quick clicks of the clicker in her hand, you snapped to attention, following right beside her as she walked down the hall. It was difficult to keep up with her on all fours, but you’d gotten better at it over time! And you liked listening to the clicker, it was fun to follow along with the tricks she’d taught you for it.

She stopped and sat down on the sofa, and you sat on the ground next to her, looking up at her with wide, pleading eyes. Without missing a beat, she raised the clicker, your eyes locking onto it. “Do you want uppies? Beg for me, cutie!” Another clicker pattern hit your ears, and you immediately raised up into a begging pose, wrists limp as you whimpered for her. She smiled and let out an “Awwwwww” that made you feel excited, your eye catching the treat she was holding just before she tossed it towards you, moving to catch it in your mouth just like you’d practiced. She sat up and patted her lap quickly, and in an instant you’d hopped up onto the couch, laying across her lap with your belly up.

You immediately started excitedly squirming as she rubbed your belly, letting out excited sounds as she pet you, interspersed with whimpers whenever she reached your more sensitive areas, the ticklish jolt of her touch running through your mind. You loved when your owner pet you, even if it often pushed you into some intense laughing fits, all while you obediently kept your paws away and let her keep petting all she wanted. It felt so good just to feel her touch you, feeling a warmth deep inside from getting to be with her, one that was always so sadly missing when she was away.

“Such a good pet you are… you’re so happy to be my pet, aren’t you?” You looked so excited as she looked down at you, and she smiled right back, making your heart flutter once more. “And I’m very happy to be your owner, little cutie pie.” The statement made you feel so warm and fluttery inside it almost felt like you’d float right away. “It’s almost time to practice my hypnosis again! Are you alright to be my practice dummy for the night?” Another excited sound from you was all the confirmation she needed, as if she needed any to know that you were on board. You were always happy to play along and help her practice, because it made her feel happy! You loved making your owner feel happy. And being her practice dummy was very easy for you to do.

After all, hypnosis didn’t work on you.
