The Fear Series: Acrophobia
The Fear Series: Acrophobia
Dean Ambrose/Seth Rollins
Seth knew that Dean was afraid of heights; the dirty blonde never knew that he had known for a long time. Dean tried to hid it to the best of his abilities but Seth knew. Probably everyone on the roster knew. In their business, it wasn’t easy to hide anything. Seth thought back to when he had first found out about Dean’s fear.
WWE was in Seattle for a couple of days and most of the superstars bad decided to go see the Seattle Pin Needle. Dean stood the farthest away from the opened windows as they made their way to the top. Seth was standing beside him with the Bellas in front of him and Roman and AJ behind him. A queasy feeling bubbled in the dirty blonde’s stomach as they got higher in the windowed skyscraper.
He glanced over to Seth. The two-tone was happily chatting with Nikki Bella as they continued to climb. Instinctively, Dean took the younger man’s hand into his own. Seth flashed a smile to him before returning to his conversation with the Diva’s Champion.
After walking for what seemed like an eternity to Dean, the superstars and divas had made it to the top of the Pin Needle. Seth immediately pulled Dean to the window much to the older man’s dismay. His breath caught in his throat as he looked out at the sights. Seattle was beautiful, he would give the town that credit. He could hear his heart in his ears, his breathing quickened. Fear boiled through him as he started to grow dizzy. He fell down to his knees as he took in short breaths.
Seth took a look at the others before kneeling down beside Dean and helping him up and pulling him away from the group. He had seen this before with his own sister. Dean was on the verge of a panic attack and Seth could pin point why. Dean was the only one who had objected to coming to the Pin Needle. He figured that it was the height that got to him. “Its okay Dean, just breath. Everything’s fine.” Not once did Seth tell Dean that he knew.
Dean had his head in between his own knees as he evened out his breathing. He sighed and braced his head against the wall. He couldn’t tell if any of them could tell what was wrong. He didn’t want them to know. He would never allow them to know. The big bad Dean Ambrose, afraid of heights. It was almost laughable. The others were throwing him worried glances but he was relieved that they weren’t questioning him about the panic attack.
“You okay now, Dean?” Seth questioned. Dean nodded and took in another breath.
“Yeah I am.. Thank you.” Dean replied. Seth just wrapped his arms around him and held him close.
To this day Dean doesn’t know that Seth knew that he had figured out why Dean had his panic attack. He had made Nikki, Brie, AJ, and Roman promise they wouldn’t tell anyone about what had happened. Seth wasn’t going to push Dean into telling him about the phobia. He would be there every single step or attack that Dean had over his fear.
