"Thank you for helping me with this, Lev-kun," [Name] chirped, wobbling her arms a bit in order to gain a better sense of balance.
Currently, Lev was struggling to lift the first year female, her legs around his shoulders and bottom decently resting on the junction between his upper back and neck. She thanked the heavens she had decided to wear long pants instead of a skirt or shorts today. She looked a lot like a child being given a lift from their older brother or young father. Every so often, [Name] waved her hands around in the air to fix her wavering equilibrium. Admittedly, she wasn't used to being so high up in the air and every little movement Lev would make nearly caused her heart to jump into her throat as she swayed atop his shoulders.
Lev tried his best to shrug, one of his hands firmly wrapped around [Name]'s ankles in order to keep her still. "Just hurry up, you're getting heavy." He held her journal up to her with his free hand, waving it around.
Scoffing at the probably unintended insult to her weight, [Name] took the book from his impatient hand before taking a deep breath. This was it; this was the moment she had worked so hard for—well, this was the moment Lev had worked so hard for since he was the one doing all the lifting. Mustering up as much strength as she could, [Name] yelled out a strangled 'hah' and she threw her book straight up into the air. It landed with an unimpressive thud a few feet away from the pair and they could only stare blankly at it from their spot.
"That was really lame, [Name]-chan," Lev bluntly stated as he helped the girl off his shoulders.
"Pfft, you're lame," she retorted weakly, walking over to her journal once she was safely on the ground. She picked it up, examining the outer cover for any sort of damages that could have occurred during the fall. There were none. "Maybe we can try again, but with different people… Taller people."
"I think I'm the tallest one here," Lev said, the hint of a proud smirk making its way onto his face. "Who else would you ask anyway?"
"Kuroo-senpai, Bokuto-senpai, Trashyshima…" [Name] started listing off all the vertically gifted people she knew, counting them off on her fingers. Thinking about them in comparison to Lev however, [Name] soon realized that the blonde Russian really was the tallest person she knew. "Oh, I know!"
Latching her hand onto Lev's, [Name] began to drag him around the training camp in search of one person. Lev, who had no idea where the short female was taking him, stumbled along behind her.
"What are we doing now?" He asked.
Shooting him a mischievous grin, [Name] continued to drag him along on her search as she answered. "The next tallest guy is Kuroo-senpai, right?"
"Uh huh," Lev answered slowly, uncertain as to where she was going with the idea.
"You think he'll let you climb up on his shoulders?"
…Climb up high; drop the journal.
