listen to my new (and best ever!) crackship idea:
so here's how i think it could go:
Levis used to go to Easton before he got expelled. so he and Tom met there when Tom was trying hard to rectuit such a powerfull comrade to play ball
Tom likes strong people, though he doesn't like how malicious Levis is being towards other people
after they meet again through Domina and Mash sometimes hanging out Tom drags Levis to a broom race
Tom shows Levis how to cook bamboo dishes
they both like sports, though Levis isn't as into Duelo
they like to go broom riding and racing after school, it makes them accidentally look like a biker gang, especially when they run into their friend groups
Levis wins in magic, Tom wins in wrestling, Levis wins in academic intelligence, Tom wins in taking care of bamboo plants and people
Tom fawns over how cool Levis' magic armor looks
Levis thinks Tom is inferior to him till Tom just turns his magnet prison into bamboo and starts munching on it, after that Levis decides to not take this one so seriously, because Tom for sure doesn't care
Tom and Lovie get along; Tom gives Lovie a bamboo plant and says that the bamboo will grow as fast and strong as he'll get better
when Levis wants to tease or be mean to Tom he'll just start stating math equations
they're both competitive so they often come up with sports and games to play when they're together
when things are quieter Levis likes to listen to Tom babble on about his day or sports or anything and chime in with his own thoughts 'cause he doesn't have to watch his image as much around him (he makes bets with himself on how Tom's gonna connect this line of thought to bamboo)
the Domina gang doesn't quite understand why Tom of all people
listen this is so fun i'd love to hear if others have hc's that fit them, even if they contradics my points i'm literally just making shit up. but boy oh boy that photo sure sparked something in me, Levis is smiling there do you get how contageous the bamboo attitude can be!
