    Summary

    “We think this may be a..”, Princess lowered her voice even further, “-huh..my boyfriend who lives in Canada situation.”

    “I don’t follow,” Samira said dubiously.

    “no one has seen the guy around-,

    “-says they don’t have any pictures together because he is private,” Princess continues, looking at her meaningfully.

    “Oh. Oh my God, you think she is making it up?” Her voice goes way over this conversation's acceptable volume.

    Cassie winces.

    “I don’t think she meant to do it”, she explains.

    “Chad came up again, so we started talking about relationships and Mel got roped into it. I think she wanted to get us off her back but when Santos doubled down, I guess she felt like she had to save face..?”

    or

    Mel has a boyfriend. A boyfriend who is 6’2, cooks her salmon dinners and bought her a white gold sweetheart necklace. Mel’s boyfriend loves her sister, runs marathons and drives an Audi.

    Too bad no one at PTMC has ever heard his name or seen pictures nor spotted them together anywhere in Pittsburgh proper.

    Oh, by the way, he is a doctor too.

    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.

    Summary

    "Are you fucking serious–you're jealous of Whitaker? WHITAKER?" The deep, frustrated voice says behind him.

    Frank turns around and prepares to face Santos for his lashings on this–but it's Mel's furrowed brows and deep frown he sees instead.

    When Trinity Santos moves in with her new, serious girlfriend and gets a new place, Mel King offers her tiny spare room to Dennis Whitaker–and Frank Langdon forgets how to act like a normal human being.

    Summary

    "So are you a Survivor superfan?" He asks—be normal Frank, be normal—walking toward some rocks at the far end of the beach.

    "Huge," Mel says with a wide smile. "What about you?"

    "Me, not really," Frank admits. "I watched a few seasons here and there," —one season, if he's honest— "and I auditioned just for fun," —he hadn't even known that Theo had sent in that stupid video— "and now here I am."

    "Here you are," Mel echoes and Frank finds himself a little lost in the melody of her voice. It's lower than maybe he would expect, but the flow of it is an easy rhythm, a pleasing melody.

    Entrancing.

    "Here we are." Finds it necessary to add on, and the smile that blooms on Mel's face tells him he's said the right thing.

    Fuck.

     

    Or, the Survivor AU.

    OR Langdon comes back after his ten month hiatus and immediately gets put on night shift with Mel because of a shortage AND Mel gets boba.
