Summary
This here, this was why. The pleasure that she took in dressing herself every morning, knowing that really, it was him pulling the fabric up over her legs and above her head, all for him, this unnameable thing that she could give him, that she could do right and that could be enough.
Yes, of course. Always. For as long as you’ll have me, I’ll take anything you give me with greedy hands and tuck it close.

Summary
“Mel,” Frank says again, standing still by the door. “I—”
“Did she throw it out? The letter?”
His phone vibrates in his pocket. It had been doing so non-stop since they left the hospital. He reaches inside and silences it, again. He doesn’t have to check—they know it’s Abby.

Summary
Mel huffs in frustration. She can’t think of how to break him out of this spiral of self-loathing and catastrophizing. Doesn’t know what to say or do to end this cycle of misplaced blame. But, if there’s anything she’s learned in her time as Frank Langdon’s best friend, it’s that sometimes it’s best to just ask. So that’s what she does.
“What can I do, hmm? How can I make this better for you,” she whispers desperately, letting out a gentle hum as she moves to stroke his hair once again.
Frank lets out a sarcastic, wet chuckle, his face pressed against her shins. She can feel the warmth of his breath seeping into her scrubs.
“You can show me your tits,” he says casually, his voice tired.
Mel freezes, her hand stopping mid-stroke as she registers what he just said. Instantly, her face flushes red.
“Um—did you ju—um, what?” she stammers out. I must be daydreaming again, she thinks to herself. There’s no fucking way he just said that…

Summary
“I don’t know.” Mel frowned. “Sometimes it feels like there’s a Frank and there’s a Langdon and they are somehow two different people. I know it doesn’t make much sense.” She sighed.
“Just talk to him. I'm sure he'll enjoy being a bit more…smug…if you ask him to.” Samira said, sincerely.
“She's right.” Trinity shrugged. “You're basically Willy Wonka giving him the golden ticket.” She added.
(Or, Mel King wants her boyfriend to be a little less Frank and a bit more Langdon in bed)

“What’s she like?”
“She looks a lot like Mel.”
“Oh, really? That’s — well, Mel is beautiful. She’s — yeah,” he stutters. “So, that’s good then.”
He nods a few times, trying to convince himself this really is good, and a not fucking sign from the universe that everything leads back to Mel for him.
“I just have to say it. Frank, she is Mel.”
“Fuck,” he says and walks up the steps to window to see for himself.
She’s there, sitting at a table by herself and looking like a dream with her hair loose and an oversized sweater on that he has the urge to put his hands under.
“Fuck,” he repeats. “How the fuck did this happen?”

He wanted to completely and utterly ruin her. Break her down, make her come undone, just so he could pick up the pieces.
"You won't be innocent for long," he murmured against her ear, voice low, rough, definite.

“I'm an asshole.”
“You're not. This is-”
“I dare you to say 'kind' one more time.” He shakes his head. “No, I am. I swear, this is more selfish than it probably should be. Listen, I, uh, I know this is a lot and we can be pretty intense, but if you need people, Abby and I, we'd really like to be your people.”

Summary
She watches him strut around headquarters, trying to look confident and purposeful as he searches for a reason to be there—orbiting Mel, while being quietly consumed by something she isn't sure he has the cojones to face.
Trinity sighs, weighing her vendetta against Mel's happiness. She really is getting a martyr complex, just like the rest of these sick fucks.
(Kingdon, reluctantly witnessed and orchestrated by Trinity Santos, who kinda has her own thing going on and doesn't need this right now)

Summary
"I want to see."
"Wh-what?" Mel blinked at his sudden words. Langdon tilted his head down toward her and held the bear out. Mel felt dizzy with déjà vu as he gestured for her to take it.
"I want to see what you did to him. Show me."
Mel took the bear slowly, her mind whirling too fast to keep up with. She had never felt so confused and so turned on in all her life. "You want me to…?"
"Yes." Langdon's gaze was dark and cool as he regarded her, but she didn't miss the rapid rise and fall of his chest as he spoke. "Show me exactly what you did last night to the prize I won you."
The day after Langdon wins Mel a teddy bear at the county fair, which she then used for… less-than-innocent purposes, she is determined to leave her crush on the married man behind. But when Mel accidentally sends him an indecent picture involving the bear, she realizes this crush might not be one she can ever recover from.

Summary
They were friends.
And yeah, maybe the ring on his finger sort of burned when he looked at her sometimes, even though it was just for show, now.
It was just easier to let her keep thinking he was still married to Abby. Safer.
It raised less eyebrows about the nature of their friendship when the ring stayed on while he was at work, the weight on his finger reminding him not to say or do anything stupid.
It also made it a little less creepy when the pet names started slipping out.

And when his reassuring, steady arm hovered behind her lower back, not even touching her, as he passed behind her, burned up her back and into her chest where the phantom sensation teased at her nipples and into her core, sending a shiver down her back, she well and truly knew that she was screwed.
Or; Frank Langdon catches a glimpse of something more intimate underneath Mel’s clothing, and the rest is history.

“I like science. More bio than anything, but chem can be cool, too.”
Frank’s eyes brightened, and his whole body turned towards her. “Shit, me too! I’m starting to look into options for undergrad, and I’m definitely thinking pre-med. Are you?”
It baffled her how he could sit there in a room that wasn't his, covered in evidence that the world was not kind, and still think about the future. For her, the future had slipped out of her grasp the night she and Becca had shown up here.
Or: Mel and Frank meet fifteen years before the Pitt, in a group home, during the worst year of both their lives. This is proof that they fall in love in every timeline.

Summary
“Frank Langdon, are you cheating on your wife with the new R2?” Robby asked him bluntly, not even trying to disguise the disappointment in his eyes.
Then Frank did the absolute last thing he should have done. He burst into laughter.
“Is this funny to you?” Robby almost growled, “you have a wife and kids at home! A wife who delayed medical school to have your kids and you go and cheat on her with someone you knew from medical school? That’s fucked up, man.”
Frank stood ramrod straight and shook his head furiously. “No, no, no!” he protested. “That is one hundred percent not what is happening. Mel is my wife. My only wife,” he clarified unnecessarily.
Robby’s anger simmered, his eyes now furrowed in confusion. “I thought your wife’s name was Abby?”
Frank’s face filled with horror. His face turning pale. It was then he realised that he’d fucked up. He fucked up so bad. Like a generationally bad fuck up.
__AKA the one where a family inside joke leads to the entire Pitt Crew thinking that Frank is cheating on his wife with, well…his actual wife.

And still, he can’t look away.
He only sees her. The way she loved. The way she existed in that moment, preserved in careful brushstrokes and memory.
Frank Langdon is eighteen years old. And two thousand. Both at once, young and ancient, caught in a war inside himself that can only agree on one thing: He misses her. He misses his soulmate.
Or,
Frank remembers every past life with Mel. Mel doesn't remember him at all.Bookmarked by Dad_Inside

"Mel likes to think that she’s got her head on straight.
She’s been planning commutes and balancing budgets and organizing home aides since she was twenty. If Mel wants something, she makes it happen. Or convinces herself that she doesn’t need it. But there’s one thing, one golden exception to her system, that Mel can’t help dreaming about.
She wants a washing machine."

Summary
So in the sweet post-divorce spot, when Frank starts to feel a tug in his heart that tells him that his feelings for Mel are starting to take a turn, he is determined not to listen to them, because he doesn't want to fuck up that relationship, too.
If there is anything that can be said about Frank Langdon, it is that he is stubborn. Unfortunately, in his stubbornness, he misses five very vital clues that tell him that he is being a moron.
(Or: 5 times Frank missed the fact that Mel was really trying to give him a big old clue.)
