    Summary

    Billy distracts himself by massaging his legs, wanting to make sure everything is warmed up. Someone will likely get taken out by a muscle cramp. Billy won’t be that person. He digs his fingers into his calves with a measured intensity, rubbing his thumb from the back of his heel all the way up to the back of his knee. He focuses on getting his body ready and mind in the right headspace. There’s just one issue.

    He can feel the heavy weight of someone staring at him.

    He lifts his gaze up back towards that group of people from before, the one with the guy eating the clementines and the other man with the cross necklace. They all seem invested in a conversation with the exception of the blond man to the far right.

    He has haunted eyes.

    OR Billy Stebbins is prepared to win the Long Walk. He just wasn't expecting there to be a man with haunted eyes that would cause such a distraction. Inspired by the Day 2 prompt for The Long Walk Rare Pairs Week: Devotion.

    Summary

    “—and I know that there’s Becca and Tanner and Millie to consider, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to move in? Together? With me?”

    Mel blinks. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s having a stroke.

    “Frank, why would we move in together?”

    “I thought it might be nice,” he shrugs here, acting nonchalant even though Mel can see the tension in his jaw. “To take that next step in our relationship.”

    “Frank, what are you talking about? We’re not in a relationship?”

    At this, Frank’s frown deepens before widening into a frustrated half smile. “Uh, yes we are? We’ve been dating for nine months?”

    What.

     

    Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.
    Or, Mel doesn’t realize they’ve been dating for nine months.

    Summary

    Mel’s third-favorite scene in Dirty Dancing is only a second long. It’s when Johnny jumps off the stage during the final dance and flips his head up right on cue with the singer crooning “Hey, baby!”

    So it was very distracting that, for the rest of the day after her karaoke session with Myrna, Frank had been quietly singing those two words to her every time they ran into each other. A “Hey baby!” when he slid into the chair next to her in the breakroom. Another when they met in the middle both jogging to an ambulance.

    She couldn’t help but laugh every time he did it which, knowing Frank, meant he’d probably do it tomorrow, and the next day, and the next.
