[ He's putting his palms together in prayer position, not that she can see it. How powerful of her, to make Japan's top idol beg like a shiba inu who trashed his owner's room. ]
[ Maya finally glances over her shoulders, catching a glimpse of that repentant face. Her own expression is cool, at best. Maybe she's realized that, as an adult, she shouldn't be angrily pouting in the first place.
Or maybe she wasn't even that angry, but! Who knows!! ]
You're prepared to accept your punishment, then? Any last words?
[ Maya, why are you talking like an executioner. ]
[ It's definitely a good thing that this town doesn't seem to have a guillotine--
But yeah, no. Maya continues to mildly glare for a good five seconds (and may or may not be counting those five seconds to make sure it has the full effect) and then...
... Flicks Momo square on the forehead. With a huff: ]
You owe me your best apology hug, but I will kick you if you bring up naked wrestling ever again. Capisci?
[ Ouch. His forehead turns red from where Maya so viciously attacks him, but— ]
—Aah, that's too scary. I won't mention it again, promise, but are you sure just a hug's enough? Momo-chan can give one out without an excuse, you know...?
[ His expression seeps into a grin, and he leans forward with his arms outstretched. ]
If you think you need to offer more than that, feel free to do your best.
[ Look, Maya's a simple person at heart!! And completely past the point of being grumpy, but that's just how she is. So even as he grins, her own grin inches out to follow suit, and she completes the rest of the lean in order to hug him.
[ Weary soul, come home to rest. All of this nonsense with ghosts and naked men aside, Momo feels the most at ease when there's something he can do— giving tactility is something he revels in when the opportunity calls for it, so he doesn't hesitate to lean in.
He's glad to see Maya is smiling again, even if he knows she wasn't actually gonna hold a grudge.
Probably.
He still remembers how tired his friend looked when she first got here, so Momo's natural inclination is to tug her close and let her rest her weight against his chest. Take a breather, Maya-neesan. ]
Haha, I love a challenge! Leave it to Momo!
[ Do more, huh...???? Well. A squeeze or two might be in order. ]
Momo's loves: Yuki-san and challenges. I'll remember that when I do an article on you.
[ And boy is he an excellent hug-giver, grip just tight enough that Maya does actually relax against him after a few seconds and heave a sigh that's entirely silent. She'll offer a squeeze in return, if just because now she doesn't want to be outdone??

Which really just means that Maya is definitely not budging, her arms folded across her chest as she stares mulishly in front of her.
She didn't want to think about naked ice castle wrestling!!! ]

Maya-sama... I'm sorry!! I didn't mean it!

[ Well. At least she's talking, even if she is still not looking at him. ]

[ Head bowed, metaphorical ears and tail drooping. ]
It was totally wrong of me to poke fun at a maiden's heart...! You can punish me, but don't hate me!

He fancies that he knows Maya enough to know that she isn't too mad, but he can't be sure— he'll accept his punishment gracefully.
So. Head still bowed, he. Offers Maya his hands, as if she's going to handcuff him and take him to the guillotine??? Huh. ]
Tell Pyonkichi... that I love him with all my heart...!

[ Not a lie. All of his magazine profiles list "happy things" under "likes." What a child.
That said, she squeezes, and...
...he squeezes back, just a little more.
Is it a competition now????? Maybe it is??? ]
no subject
[ Because so much makes Momo happy??? Lord, whoever interviewed him last must have wept tears trying to type up that profile.
Also wow?? Game on?? She's going to squeeze once again, a little more than his. Good luck, Momo, she's in it to win it.
Win what, we just don't know. ]
