i have sometimes dreamed that from time to time hours detached themselves from the lives of angels and came here below to pass through the destiny of man

@kingdonmicrofic july 3, gala (wc: 407/467) cw: emotional infidelity (+ possible implied physical infidelity. choose your own adventure infidelity.)

Abby rented her dress off of an app. It’s solid black, trendy and form-fitting, and it’ll go back in the mail on Monday. She looks incredible. All the women at the gala say so, and Frank says so too.

Mel's dress is a shiny emerald green. It puffs at the sleeves. It sags at the waist, hanging off her frame in an admittedly unflattering way. The skirt is a strange length, hitting somewhere between her mid and lower calves. He still has a hard time looking anywhere else. 

"God love her," Abby mutters. "That wouldn’t have even been cute in the eighties."

Frank knows she’s not being deliberately cruel. It’s just one of those inside thoughts that she feels comfortable voicing to him privately because they’re married and he knows her well enough.

And if it wasn’t Mel she was talking about, he might indulge her with a laugh or a yeah, it’s pretty awful. But it is Mel, so he doesn’t react at all - except for a brief, involuntary tightening of his lips. Abby looks at him and then away again. “Huh,” she says.  

So he waits until Abby is in the bathroom and Mel is on her own, far from the crowd, gently swaying to the music. 

"You look beautiful," he says. 

Mel flushes, smiles and then shrugs, looking down at the dress.

"Well. This was my mother's," she says. 

She picks at the skirt - maybe there’s a bit of dust there he can’t see, or maybe she’s just feeling uncomfortable. One of her sleeves slips off the shoulder, and she pulls it back up with a little awkwardness.

"It doesn't fit right," she says apologetically. "She was taller."

"It fits fine."

"It doesn't."

"It fits fine, Mel."

She looks up at him then - she has to crook her neck back because he's standing too close. Somewhere nearby, his wife is wearing a dress that she’ll have for a weekend, and Mel is standing in front of him in a dress that has been hanging in a closet for maybe thirty-five years. 

"Thank you, Frank," she says. “I’m really happy you said that.” 

He knows he should keep an eye out for his wife. But - fuck it - she always takes ages in the bathroom anyway, and Mel looks like she could use a breather. 

He asks her if she wants to get some air, and follows the shine of her green dress out the door.

i don't know why we should care if the actors "don't see it" that's because you're trained in acting, whereas i am trained in the ancient and noble art of shipping. get ready to have fake sex with someone who reminds you of your sister, actor boy
