listen. i LOVE the idea of Langdon pining after Mel for the longest time, thinking he doesn’t deserve. HOWEVER. i personally feel like that wouldn’t happen until much, much later. I think he would be in denial until the very last moment. lemme tell you, that man is an expert at repressing his feelings. he’s actually the final boss of repressed feelings.
his marriage failing? nah, he just needs to get the kids a puppy (he really deserves the death penalty for that one).
his pill addiction for which he’s jeopardizing his patient’s medical care and his career and relationships? nah, he’s just treating his back pain! he’s a doctor, knows what he’s doing & all that.
I honestly feel like he would repress his feelings for mel sooooo hard he convinces himself of like the wildest fucking stuff.
like yeah sure driving your mentee to & from work everyday is normal. (it’s a massive detour from his apartment. wtf)
being disappointed when you’re not working the same shift? it’s just bc mel is competent and that makes his job easier.
missing her when he’s at home, after a 12h shift from hell where they worked together attached by the hip all day? yeah, he’s just a little lonely after his divorce and she’s his friend. nothing to worry about.
langdon examining himself thinking he’s having a heart attack when he sees her with her hair down for the first time.
she tells him she’s going on a date on her day off and he can admit: he’s jealous. the same way single ppl are jealous of their married friends.
so what if he dreams of her? they spent a lot of time together. that makes sense his brain would do that. or something.
like she knows as clear as day that he has a crush on her. and at first she doesn’t mind it. it’s not like anything would happen. They don’t cross boundaries.
he has a lot to deal with and so does she. it’s nice to know that this attractive ass doctor likes her like that. until she gets to know him and they become friends.
she thinks this thing they have will fizzle out after a few months, or a few years but it doesn’t.
and now they’re in a place where it’s better. they’re both more settled and he’s been in recovery for a while and has a good co-parenting relationship with abby and everything is going well for their career.
except she’s getting frustrated now. this whole will they won’t they thing was cute the first year or two but now she’s getting impatient.
She makes it her goal to flirt with him and she loves seeing him flustered. But he just WON’T TAKE A FUCKING HINT. So maybe she just has to take matters into her own hands
