Work Text:

Vertiginous

McGee couldn’t believe he was doing this. Abby knew very well he had a fear of heights. Yet, for some reason she had decided they need to go on a hike on the highest mountain she could find.

When McGee had mentioned his fear of heights, Abby had simply responded, “Don’t be silly we won’t be that high. It will be fine. I promise.”

Then she’d flashed her puppy dog eyes at him and McGee had grudgingly agreed. So now he was trying to avoid looking down and failing miserably. The vertiginous cliff left him feeling woozy and he could feel himself paling.

Abby had been ahead of him prattling on about something, but when she looked back and saw the state McGee was in, she quickly rushed to his side and gently slapped his cheek. “Come on, McGee. Stay with me. You’re fine. I’m sorry. Just stay with me.”

Notes:

Prompts are currently open. If you'd like to prompt me, please do so here. Note you have to be an ao3 member to do this.

If you are not an ao3 member, you can prompt me here. Please follow the same rules as are listed in the above link. However, because this is a handmade prompt form(that thinks it's a poll), it is considerably more limited than what ao3 provides, so please use the ao3 form if you're an ao3 member. Please note the name option is for a name that I can say this is for so that you know it's for you. Since this is for non ao3 members it won't be true gifts, but you will be mentioned in the notes.

This is a new thing I'm trying, so please leave feedback here if you think it could be improved.
