    Summary

    “I could show it to you,” she said flatly, body as still as a statue. No-one else around, he tried to catch her eyes, but her eyes didn’t shift from their stiff glare at the locker. He licked his lips, mouth suddenly dry.
    “I could show you the costume, I mean,” she said, as if he’d needed the elaboration. It was then that Mel turned her head ever so slightly, to the side and tilted back to look into his face. Her eyes were wide, darker than their usual hazel and full of a need Frank was afraid to name."

    Mel King used to go to Ren Faires. She still has the costume and when she shows it to Frank Langdon, it puts him in some type of mood.

    Summary

    Mel was laughing at this guy’s jokes as he animatedly told a story, making sure not to move too much because she was actively suturing as she laughed. It would be attractive if she wasn’t laughing at another man’s jokes. Even Perlah was giving a chuckle.

    Jesus, fuck, he felt like a neanderthal.

    “- and she didn’t even know what a six point conversion was until her senior year, which is just crazy-”

    “But I eventually learned!” she insisted with a smile. “And I still remember to this day, I swear!”

    Could Frank kill this guy? Frank really wanted to kill this guy.

    ***

    or: an old friend visits the ED. frank gets jealous. they figure it out.

    Summary

    And then Santos says — because of course she does, of course they would, of course it’s her fault — “And Langdon would be awful in bed, of course.” Mel blinks.

    She somehow hadn’t expected them to get to Langdon, although she acknowledges it’s quite ridiculous of her to not have seen it coming considering the list of male coworkers they were rapidly striking. It’s just — well, Langdon isn’t exactly just a coworker to her, but also a friend. Someone she sends medical memes to and facetimes and watches bad movies on her couch to decompress, someone who pays for her coffee when she’s not looking and talks her down from the egde of a spiral and has met Becca. He’s — He’s Frank to her, and it’s weird to— talk about him that way. Extremely inappropriate, beyond what HR demands.

    Still, Mel thinks she should defend his honor, and notes, “I think you might be letting your biases influence your judgment.”

    or mel can't stop thinking about how frank's like in bed, and decides she should really just ask him

    Summary

    “I also used to have trouble sleeping. The trick is to find what relaxes you.”

    Mel frowned. “What do you do to relax?”

    Langdon grinned impishly. “You really want to know?”

    She nodded.

    “Well, it used to be drugs. Now, it’s sex.”

    Mel flushed. “Oh.”

    OR

    Mel has trouble sleeping and Langdon offers to help her relax. A friend helping out a friend is no big deal, right?
