Summary
Frank’s jaw has been hanging so low for the past thirty seconds that his mouth is starting to feel parched. He barely notices when Yolanda starts nudging at his shoulder and saying his name, because his full attention, importantly, is devoted elsewhere. Namely, where Mel stands at the back of the bar commanding the stage, spouting the most erotic lyrics Frank thinks he’s ever heard in his life.
The Pitt residents are at a karaoke bar for Dennis' birthday. Songs are sung, and Mel is determined to make her move.

Summary
“Hey, are you free after work?” he asks, and Mel hears the absolute silence that drops down over them, all the movement on either side of them going still.
“Yes, I am,” Mel answers eagerly. Cassie abruptly begins shuffling through her locker louder than before, and Mel feels one of her eyebrows twitch, tries not to let it show on her face. “Do you think you could fix the air conditioning today?” Frank nods, rewards her with a megawatt grin. She can feel them staring at each other an amount of time that could be considered inappropriate; she can’t think of a good reason to look away.
“Wow, King,” Santos says, breaking the silence, and Mel watches Frank glance at Santos behind her, over her shoulder. “Asking Langdon to fix your pipes for you? Didn’t think you had it in you.”
“Santos,” Frank warns, and Mel watches a muscle jump in his jaw.
“He’s not fixing my pipes.” Mel tilts her head, turning to face Santos. “He’s fixing my air conditioning. It’s been broken all week.” Santos’s lips part, her eyebrows coming together, and then a slow, terrible smile spreads across her face.
(Mel's air conditioner breaks. Frank doesn’t know a lot about them but finds a way to help)

“When’s the last time you washed your hands?” Mel asked.
Frank paused, confused, and then shrugged a shoulder. “Uh - two minutes ago?”
“Have you touched anything since?”
“No. I mean, nothing besides you.”
“Alright. And - do you trust me?”
“Yeah, I trust you.”
“Um, can you - can I do something, and - and can you not laugh at me or be weirded out because I really need this and… and you offered, you remember, you offered to do what you could, no matter what?”
He nodded.
“You remember, Frank, you remember that you said that? You remember that you promised?”
“Yes,” he stressed. Really, what was the weirdest thing she could do? Recite all 118 elements of the periodic table? List all the books of the bible? Rap Hamilton at him really fast without breaking eye contact?
Take his hand and stick two of his fingers in her mouth?

Summary
“—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?”
“I thought it might be nice,” he shrugs here, acting nonchalant even though Mel can see the tension in his jaw. “To take that next step in our relationship.”
“Frank, what are you talking about? We’re not in a relationship?”
At this, Frank’s frown deepens before widening into a frustrated half smile. “Uh, yes we are? We’ve been dating for nine months?”
What.
Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.
Or, Mel doesn’t realize they’ve been dating for nine months.- Language:
