Summary
“Who the fuck would believe that you and I are-“ there was no way she was going to use the word 'dating' here, “-a thing?” The mere idea was absurd to her. They were both so unlike one another's type it was laughable.
He leaned in until his face was close to hers, smirk blossoming across his lips. His penetrating gaze met hers. “I guess we’d have to be real convincing, huh?”
(or an au where panic is played by couples rather than individuals. Heather needs to play for the money, but without a boyfriend, that's not possible. Ray Hall may be the solution to her problem, but pretending to date him is a dangerous game all on its own.)

“—and I know that there’s Becca and Tanner and Millie to consider, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to move in? Together? With me?”
Mel blinks. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s having a stroke.
“Frank, why would we move in together?”

What.
Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.
