Toni Storm × Mina Shirakawa headcanons
me a third when? heh........
They absolutely thrive on being dramatic. A simple "good morning" somehow turns into an Oscar worthy reunion after being apart for... three hours. PDA? They genuinely forget other people exist.
Arms around each other's waists.
Leaning on each other during interviews.
The rest of the locker room has just accepted it.
Toni will call Mina things like:
"Darling."
"My star."
"My beautiful girl."
"Love."
Mina has approximately 7,000 photos of Toni on her phone, and Toni has no idea half of them exist.
"Mina... when did you take this?"
"Yesterday!"
"...I was asleep." They hype each other up before every match.
"You're going to steal the show."
"No, you're going to steal the show." Their entrances are watched from the monitor if they're not wrestling. Neither can resist smiling when the other's music hits. They have one of those relationships where silence is comfortable. They don't always have to be talking, they're perfectly happy just sitting together after a long day. Mina loves fixing Toni's hair, even if it doesn't actually need fixing. Toni pretends to be annoyed...
"...You're fussing."
"Yes."
"...Carry on." If Toni has a bad match (or even thinks she did), Mina is the first person reminding her of everything she did right.
If Mina doubts herself, Toni becomes her loudest supporter.
"You're extraordinary. Don't let one bad day convince you otherwise."
Airport coffees are mandatory.
Toni likes wandering through bookstores while Mina inevitably ends up looking at cute accessories or skincare.
Mina somehow always convinces Toni to take photo booth pictures together.
Half of Toni's camera roll is candid photos Mina took without asking.
Half of Mina's camera roll is selfies where Toni looks mildly confused.
They cook together... or at least attempt to.
Movie nights regularly become "we've talked through the entire film."
Blankets are constantly being stolen.
Whoever wakes up first usually makes coffee for the other.
Everyone knows where to find one if they're looking for the other. If Mina is doing media, Toni is probably just off camera making faces. If Toni is cutting a promo, Mina is watching proudly from backstage.
They're the couple everyone teases because they're just so obvious.
Mina immediately points without looking.
Little love language things
Fixing each other's gear before matches.
Brushing hair out of each other's faces.
Holding pinkies instead of full hands sometimes.
Random forehead touches while talking.
Dancing in the kitchen with no music.
"Look at this!" being said at least twenty times a day.
The Locker Room's Perspective
Mariah: "They're disgustingly cute."
Rosa: "Can they stop flirting for ONE minute?"
Willow: "I love them. They're like human sunshine."
Mercedes: "If I hear 'darling' one more time..."
Mercedes: "...I walked into that."
They're in a hotel lobby waiting for everyone else.
Mina is talking animatedly about something she saw earlier, using increasingly elaborate hand gestures.
Toni isn't saying much, she's just watching her with this soft little smile.
"I simply enjoy listening to you."
Mina pauses for a second, cheeks going pink despite herself.
"I'm still going to keep talking."
"I was hoping you would."
