This is an extra to Keeping Promises, particularly to chapter 8

(Name) was ready. Ever since the day Ushijima lifted her up to keep her out of Satori's reach, she knew she had to try it. She felt the need to do it and she knew her precious senior manager wouldn't be there to stop it, neither was her overprotective pseudo older brother Taichi.

"Hey, Ushijima-senpai?" she asked sweetly "Can I ask you a favor?" Ushijima turned to her and blinked.

It took mere seconds to finally be where she wanted to. Ushijima didn't put up much of a fight. As (Name) steadied herself by outstretching her arms, she happily gazed over the massive Shiratorizawa gym. He kept an eye on her to make sure she didn't fall. His grip on her ankles was firm, but not so that it hurt her.

"So this is what it's like to be tall?" she giggled. As she says that, Semi and Ohira walk in with Tendou in toe. They were chatting until they noticed what (Name) was doing. She was dressed in her tracksuit with a happy look on her face

Standing on Ushijima's shoulders.

"(NAME)-CHAN!" Semi called as he rushed over and held out his hands just in case she fell. Ohira did the same.

"(Name)-chan! What are you doing!? Wakatoshi why did you let her do this?! (S/Name) would KILL us if she found out!" Ohira began to do the same as Semi. Tendou watched in awe at the cute little manager he fell in love with.

"Look at how tall you are (Name)!" He called out to her

"We're the Shiratorizawa tower!" she gleefully told them.

"You're a hospital trip waiting to happen is what you are!" Semi yells as he shifts to another side of Ushijima. "Wakatoshi put her down!" Semi demanded, and he nodded.

"Wait! No! I don't want to yet!" (Name) protests and squirms a little, causing Ushijima to wobble a bit himself. Ohira, Semi, and Tendou begin to have a heart attack as (Name) begins to wave her arms in an attempt to stabilize herself, but only ends up causing Ushijima to lose his balance, sending them both backward. Ohira and Semi place themselves in an opportune place to catch (Name), but she ends up grabbing onto a nearby basketball hoop. Ushijima ungracefully falls on his back.

"(NAME)-CHAN!" Semi yells as she pulls herself up closer to the rim out of fear. Tendou was now very worried and Ohira felt like his heart was going to explode. (Name) brought her knees up and gripped the rim tighter as she began to cry a little. This isn't what she wanted.

"Th-this is s-scary!" She called out as tears fell from 3 meters up in the air.

"It's okay! You're gonna be okay! Just let go! We'll catch you!" Ohira says as he outstretched his arms. Semi and Tendou did the same as she looked down at them. They were so far down, and she began to quiver a little.

"(Name)-chan, you're okay, look! I'm here! I won't let anything happen!" Tendou called to the girl, but she had her eyes shut tight as she gripped the hoop. She began to sniffle slightly.

"Wakatoshi, can you try and catch her? Maybe it'll be more comforting if someone taller did it." Semi suggests as he looked at the time. The head manager would be there any minute.

"Do we have a ladder? A ladder would be a good idea right about now." Ohira states as he continues to monitor the tiny, dangling manager.

"D-Do we have one in the supply closet!?" Semi says in a panic as he checked the time again.

"Look, (Name)-chan, I really am here! I promise nothing will happen to you! See? I'll catch you!" Tendou tries again and catches (Name)'s attention. She looks down at the goofy boy and sniffles slightly "Everything's okay! I promise!" those two words made her more willing to let herself be caught by the boys. She took a deep breath as she slowly loosened her grip. Once she fully let go, she squeaked as she fell, but the fall was quick, and Tendou caught the small manager. The rest of the boys present let out a sigh of relief. Tendou rubbed his face against her cheek to show affection, but she quickly wrapped her arms around her and cried slightly into his shoulder.

"(Name)-chan you nearly gave us a heart attack!" Semi scolds.

"At least she's safe..." Ohira lets out another deep sigh as he clenched his chest. Ushijima nods. He felt slightly stupid for giving into (Name)'s request.

A slow clap could be heard from the entrance of the gym, and the boys jump. They slowly turn their heads to see the head manager standing there Taichi and Hayato standing behind her. Her eyebrows were raised in a questioning position while her eyes were half-lidded her lips were painted with a smirk.

"Very dramatic and exciting. So uh... mind telling me how little (Name)-chan got up there?" (S/Name) points to the basketball hoop. Hayato had a grin on his face as Taichi rushed over to check on (Name). The boys sweat.

"Ah..."
