    he doesn't mean to break rule three. he really doesn't.

    (or, mel and santos try to be friends. it doesn't go as well as they had hoped.)

    Summary

    “Just tell me what you need.”

    “I don’t think I need anything.”

    Her heart beats to a rhythm. Strong and slow: you, you, you.

    “Hey,” He scoots even closer. His hand travels down to the knee she has brought up. “How about I run you a bath?”

    ( Frank takes care of Mel. The water brings revelation. )

    Summary

    “What’s up with you and Langdon?” Samira asked as they charted at central later in the day. Mel, who had been laying with her forehead against the cool table, shot up at the comment.

    “What do you mean?” Mel had never been able to hide her affection for Dr. Langdon. The two of them just seemed to click in a way she didn’t with her other co-workers. But she had been careful to keep the professional boundary between them, especially once she found out from Princess and Perlah that he had been officially divorced.

    Samira glanced between Mel and Langdon, who was speaking with the parent of a patient outside of one of the rooms. “He’s been watching you like a hawk all day. It’s weird.”

    “He’s just worried,” Mel said, relaxing a bit. “He thinks I’m getting sick.”

    Samira huffed. “He didn’t really care when Whitaker was sick two weeks ago. But then again, he’s not attached at the hip to Whitaker like he is with you.”

    When Mel starts to feel sick, Frank takes care of her.

    Summary

    To outroot an infection, you have to debride the wound, remove the necrosis, and allow time to heal. It’s a principle instilled in Langdon throughout his training, and one he is determined to live by. Recovery isn’t easy, but he has help. And maybe, at the end of day, he might be a better person for it, for her.

     

    Or: Langdon battles his mistakes, Mel learns to let people help her, and Robby thinks maybe the past won't repeat itself.

     

    Technically set a year after my last fic but absolutely no need to read the prior to understand this!
