Title: 'Forbidden Fruit'
Fandom: M*A*S*H
Prompt: Table #6/Prompt #12: Bite
Character/Pairing: Maj. Frank Burns/Maj. Margaret Houlihan
Rating: G
Summary: He's not a happy man--but she manages to make him a little less unhappy.
Authors Notes: Fic = Mine. Characters = Not Mine.

In all of his life, Frank is starting to believe that Margaret is one of the better things to have happened to him. He doesn't enjoy his job that much; he detests his insane and degenerate colleagues; and he doesn't love his wife.

Margaret is the breath of fresh air that his stale and stagnant life has been needing for so long. He's not a happy man--but she manages to make him a little less unhappy.

This little affair, romance, or whatever they both choose to call it, is against everything that either of them claim to stand for. It's against regulations, it's against his own marriage vows, and it's certainly against the Bible that he's slowly wearing out with numerous readings.

But she's the ultimate forbidden fruit. And he doesn't think he can ever resist taking another bite.
