[Momo shakes her head and actually reaches across to grab Jiro's hand, holding it tightly in hers. She reorients herself so there's no way Jiro can avoid looking at her, and nods.]
Kyoka. I don't mind. And I don't mind Yaomomo, or just Momo, you know? I just...wanted to be sure that I'm the one you want to hear your name that way from. Because that's...it's...
[her cheeks burn a little too, but in a good way, her eyes taking on a bubbly glint.]
[It's said almost like Jiro's never heard the word before. And yet her own face is starting to turn a bright shade of pink to match, her face getting its usual comically wobbly expression that it does when she's feeling something a bit too big for her.
And after a moment, she reaches up to cover Momo's hand with her own.]
I - Yeah, I do...! You know that I'd never ask for something I didn't want, right? You're the only one I wanna hear saying my name like that.
[And, of course, Jiro's jacks flinch up into little arcs with that kiss to her hand. She's not even trying to hide the way her face pulls up into a goofy, wavering sort of smile, either.]
I do too...! But, does that mean, you know - Do you want me to switch off from calling you "Yaomomo"?
I mean, I've always thought it was pretty cute, but y'know...
[She blinks a bit, seeing that grin on Momo's face - and, of course, there's a part of her that's instantly, instantly attracted to it, too. But still, seeing her get all impish like that...
Jiro gives her a little nod, her tail starting to wag a bit in her chair.]
Yeah, I can do that. ... But can I ask why? That feels pretty specific, y'know...
[Romantic... she said it again, huh. It's probably unsurprising that the thought of it's getting Jiro's face to turn a little extra pink as well, honestly. But it's matched up with her ears perking forward and that tail going a little faster, too. So it's safe to say she likes the idea.]
Then... yeah, I can definitely do that. If that's what you want me to do, Yaomomo.
[One short pause, with some thought -]
... You can handle my name however you want, of course. Like, if you think there'd be a way to use it that you feel is... y'know. Romantic?

...it's so romantic...!

[She sounds...much...much more excited! And grins, leaning down to kiss the tops of Jiro's fingers.]
I like hearing that a lot, Kyoka.

[Momo leans forward, a somewhat devilish grin finally making it's way to her face.]
No, call me Yaomomo in public. But when we're...closer, and doing things? Momo. That would be nice.
[Also one less syllable.]

I mean, it's not bad, just like... specific.

[She blushes, looking down at her hands...]
Yaomomo's cute. But...I think it'd be romantic...if you said my name when we were...you know...
[...Alone.]

[She laughs sweetly, glad to have made that tail wag. This whole 'dating' thing was easier than she'd expected, honestly.]
...And I'll do that, Kyoka. I promise I will be as romantic as I can.
[That's what she wants, after all.]
no subject
You don't need to be as romantic as you can. Just as romantic as you naturally are.
[That's only like, 2% meant as a flirt.
Maybe 3%.]

[Momo laughs though, and stuffs another fry into her mouth.
She's so, so sexy.]
