Summary
Frank just shakes his head again with a breathless chuckle, toweling off the glass in his hands. "Well... sometimes I look at you and think about what a great teacher you are. Because you are-" he adds with a purposeful glance at her before returning his attention to the dishes. "-and sometimes that gets me thinking about you being a teacher, which sometimes gets me to thinking about me being your student, which always makes me think about the crush I'd have on you as my professor."
"Frank!" Mel exclaims, mouth open in disbelief as a blush dusts his cheeks.
"It's true!" He defends, grin splitting his face. "What, with your glasses and smooth voice... you'd make a teacher's pet out of me quickly, Dr. King."

Summary
All things considered, it was probably for the best that Mel King was a Beta. She couldn't imagine being overwhelmed by scent and instinct 24/7 like an Alpha or an Omega, so she really couldn't be too upset on that front. Not to mention also the other social layers to the designations, no thank you.
Being a Beta was safe and boring. Dr. Langdon didn't seem to mind befriending them either, so that was a plus.
As hectic as the Pitt could be, the return of her favorite doctor did a lot for Mel's peace of mind, even if he smelled kind of good and was kind of too nice to her. He was a little bullheaded about it, but that's just how Alphas were. Right? Yeah.

Summary
“I want to kiss you,” Mel blurted out rather than give him a thumbs up like she was supposed to. She wasn’t too good at understanding people’s facial expressions, but Frank’s gaping mouth and wide eyes seemed to indicate surprise. She was also pretty sure that her own face looked exactly like that when, instead of rejecting her, Frank leaned in and quietly asked if she wanted to get out of here as soon as the shift was done, together.

It's Valentine's Day shift at the Pitt and Mel King cannot contain her feelings for Frank Langdon anymore. Thankfully, he is just as down bad as she is.

Summary
Loving Mel is strikingly different from loving Abby, as much as he hates himself for even making the comparison. She had been keeping herself and her sister afloat for years through college and medical school, all while maintaining a bright attitude that drew him to her in the first place. She was grounded enough in reality for him to know that she was not wholly innocent, but there was a brilliant allure to the way she interacted with the world despite knowing how cruel it could be. Her polite exterior was mistaken far too often for fragility, even though she may be the toughest person that he has ever met.
When he takes care of her, he knows that it is only because she has allowed him to, not because she expects him to. There is a difference between those notions.

Summary
Frank is clean, in the middle of a divorce, and overwhelmed by acclimating to all of that. He just needs someone to tell him he's a good boy. Mel is willing to be that person for him, as the good friend that she is. Is she in love with him? Sure, but this isn't about that. She's just being his friend, trying to help him relax and open up a bit, nothing else. Right?
