Summary
“No need to consult,” Frank states, resolutely. “I’m not arguing about this.” She frowns at his feet, refusing to meet his eye. “If you have any issues discharging, let me know.” He picks up his own tablet and retreats from their rendezvous point. Mel’s ears are burning and she tears her gaze from the floor to stare at Frank’s back as he leaves.

Summary
Consumed—If Frank Langdon had to pick a word out of the dictionary to describe his Monday, he would settle on consumed.
Mel was everywhere. Being in her vicinity felt like getting high and he’s barely even touched her.
He thinks about her too much. Every shift. Every moment. Or, at least, that's how it feels. He thinks he’s conscious enough to keep track of how she comes to mind frequently. It's more like a consistent stream of her coursing through his veins, it's easier to pinpoint when he isn’t thinking about her, but those are few and far between. She’s always there and he finds any excuse to bring her to relevance so he can think about her.
Frank Langdon was utterly fucked

Summary
Frank starts peppering kisses all over her face, from her cheeks to her nose to her jaw. "You loooove me," he teases playfully, squeezing her waist as he keeps kissing her, making her laugh. "You wanna maaarry me."
"You're ridiculous," Mel tells him when he finally pulls away for longer than a second, but she's beaming up at him, and she's sure that the look on her face can only be described as "stupidly lovestruck." (Becca's words. Cheesy, but accurate.)
Frank smiles seeing it, and that's all that matters, really. He has a similar look on his face most of the time anyway.

Summary
Frank Langdon is an asshole. He knows this. Everyone in the ED tells him this every day. Princess, Collins, Garcia. They all know this.
What they don’t know, however, is that more than anything, he wants to be good. He tries to be good. To be a good dad, a good husband, a good doctor, a good person. He tries.

Summary
“Don’t keep yourself on a leash,” Cassie had said, nudging Mel’s shoulder as they walked from the locker room. “Get out there! Go on dates!”
Mel—although responding with a scrunched up face of uncertainty—had taken the option into account.
The rest is history

Summary
"Is this what you want?" Mel asked, eyes searching his face so urgently he could barely track them.
Frank sighed, stretching out his neck and closing his eyes. "It's what she wants—"
"You, Frank," Mel interrupted. "I don't care about Abby. What do you want?"
He wet his lips, rubbing them together as he watched her sit with a hand on the door, ready to leave the car at any given moment. Then, he nodded. "Yeah," he said simply. "I want this."
She shook her head, gathering her bag from by her feet and pushing the door open. "Then have it," she said, forcing herself out. "Just don't expect me to watch."

Summary
“I’m—we’re glad you’re back.” She smiled, adjusting her stethoscope against her neck. I’m glad you’re back, is what he knows she was going to say. It tugs at his chest. Knowing there was a person in this emergency department that he didn’t destroy his entire reputation with made him a little bit less anxious about today. Even if said person only knew him for exactly one whole shift.
Frank Langdon is very normal about Mel King.
or the one where Frank tries hard not to fall for Mel.

Summary
"You still smell like her, Frank."
Frank's parted lips rested against Mel's, his breath hot and heavy, right on the precipice of a kiss as he held himself back and mumbled against her, "What, does that make you feel guilty?'
"No, it makes me feel jealous. Go shower."
