College Life

"Maybe this was a bad idea..." He mumbled to himself as he followed. He stood in front of the wall, rubbing his hands with the chalk, staring up instead of at the American. "This isn't going to go well at all..."

"Don't worry, I'll be right behind you if something happens." He said with a soft smile as he chalked his hands and grabbed the harness and moved close and started to strap him in.

Arthur looked up, "Well, good, because I...um, let's go shall we?"

He nodded and wrapped his arms around his waist to secure it tightly. "Okay."
He said before moving back to strap his own harness on.

He looked back, then up again, and tried not to look scared. So far in his life, he and heights had never been good friends. "So, how does this work exactly?"

He grinned. "Ya ever see spider man?" He asked.

"Once." He admitted.

"You know that scene where he is climbing up the side of the building. That's pretty much it." He said as he tighten the straps on his harness and motioned for him to come over to the wall.

"That really doesn't make me feel any better." He sighed before walking over, looking up once more.

"Yeah, but unlike him, you have a harness and me." He said as he stood behind the brit and took his hand and placed it on a peg. "Hand right here." He said before moving his other hand on a peg. "Other hand right here. It's like climbing a tree." He whispered into his ear, his body pressed very close to Arthur's back.

Arthur shivered lightly, allowing the American to show him what to do. "I'm guessing then I put my feet up, hm?"

"Yep." He said as he took hold of his hips firmly to help him up.

Here I go...You better not let me fall Git!" He hoisted himself up, already scared.

"Of, course, babe." He purred with a chuckle as he helped him up. "You're doing good." He said as he held him up. "Relax, nothing is going to happen to you, trust me."

"Better not..." He stepped up with the other foot, now fully off the ground.

"I'm not." He said softly. "I'm not leaving your side." He helped him up a little more before climbing up with him like a pro.

Arthur blushed, remembering the last time someone said that to him, though under different circumstances with the ending being anything but sweet. "I'm sure, now help me, where do I grab next?"

He moved up behind him and and patted where to grab, his breath hot next to Arthur's neck. "You're epic at this." He chuckled,

"Not half as good as you, don't lie." He reached up, grabbing the rock, then figuring it out a little more, grabbed the next and hoisted himself so that he could move his feet, gaining a bit more height.

"There you go!" He said with a chuckle as he followed behind him, staying close.

He hoisted himself up more, grinning a little. "I suppose this is fun. Not the first thing I'd choose, but fun all the same." He stopped himself from looking down, and focused his attention to the top of the wall.

He snickered. "Yeah the view from here is amazing." He chuckled as he followed.

"You are a horrible pervert, you know that? Almost as bad as Francis, but at least he wouldn't stare at my arse!" He huffed, climbing up more. "So what happens when I get to the top? I'm almost there."

"You propel down. I'll help you, don't worry." He said with a grin. "Besides I can't help staring what's right in front of face or like what I see." He said as he caught up with him.

He pulled himself up faster, reaching the top, then stopping. "Ok, help?"
