Day 19 – Heels

for @kingdonmicrofic Challenge

208 words | Rated G | Established Relationship, Fluff

Read on A03

Mel was admittedly being stubborn but she would continue to dig her heels in to preserve the sanctity of properly naming the only child she might ever give birth to.

“Do I even have to ask?”

“Connor after the best hockey player living,” Frank said. “Lennon after the greatest Beatle.”

Mel sighed deeply. “Can you also explain your obsession with double consonants?” She had already vetoed Gunnar and Finn for obvious reasons.

It was the worst day of my life. But I remember you.

@kingdonmicrofic day 11 | surprise | 186/186

warning for implied infidelity; Abby POV

The doorbell rings at 9:30 on a Wednesday and Abby opens the door, attention still focused on Tanner who’s currently trying to scale the fireplace.

“Tanner, would you stop?” She calls, before focusing on the woman standing at the door. She doesn't look familiar at all.

But the little boy on her hip, maybe a year old, looks so familiar it makes Abby's heart sink, and she immediately puts her guard up.

“Can I help you?” She asks, trying to sound more friendly than she feels.

“Sorry, I– uh, does Frank Langdon still live here?”

Abby sighs. “Let me guess. When you saw him last, he said he was moving out. He said we were getting a divorce.”

The woman flinches, hand moving up to stroke the baby’s dark hair. She doesn't answer. She doesn't have to.

“Frank!” She bellows into the house. “You have visitors.”

When her husband appears at the door, he has some decency to look surprised.

But mostly, he almost immediately looks happy.

“Mel?” He asks, voice more gentle than Abby has ever heard it.

She should be surprised.

She's not.

if mel and langdon aren’t heading towards a slowburn bestfriends to lovers arc then why have their scenes parallel each other (‘you okay?’ ‘the er can be a little bright and noisy’ etc)? why bring up langdon’s marriage 24/7 and highlight the problems within it? why push the point in season one that langdon understands mel king’s needs (after only a couple hours together) while simultaneously highlighting that he doesn’t understand his own wife’s needs? why show the strain on their relationship over and over in season one before the substance abuse/rehab is even on the table? why have him act weird when abby is mentioned? why have him reveal that abby threatened to divorce him & that almost lost his kids, not that he almost lost the love of his life because of his addiction? why have becca ask if mel’s found a boyfriend yet if that’s not going to be explored? why have frank be the only one mel trusts to treat becca? why show becca and frank bonding? why have becca tell frank that mel says nice things about him? why have her explicitly use present tense and not past? why have her say that at all when mel only spent twelve hours with him some ten months ago? why have becca say she understands why she likes him and have mel look totally embarrassed and called the fuck out? why have frank be the only person in the goddamn hospital who actually listens to mel and challenges her whilst still validating her feelings? why show two people who are feeling isolated, lonely and battered by life, needing the one thing that the other can offer (frank wants someone to care for, mel wants to be cared for)? why have a plotline showcasing mel’s fears about her sister’s newfound independence and of being left behind (‘i’m gonna be all alone’) while also highlighting langdon’s loneliness in rehab (‘10 months is a long time alone with your thoughts’)? why have mel almost hug langdon when he comes back? why give them so many callbacks to their earlier interactions? why give them an ‘inside thing’ when they’ve known each other less than 24 hours? why have them smiling once in a blue moon and nine times out of ten it’s when they’re together? why have her be the person saying exactly what langdon needs hear (‘i let a lot of people down’ ‘you never let me down’)? why randomly take the time to mention mel’s niche interest in the renaissance fair (and have the one guy who’s shown romantic interest in her put her down for that interest) only to have have frank a few episodes later gush over the the fort pitt history museum with stars in his eyes (that adds literally nothing to the plotline except weirdly show that mel and frank are both history nerds)? why have frank looking at mel like That? why have mel looking at frank like That? why? why? WHY?
