Hi Everyone! This is my first fanfic though I have been reading all your works. I had a rough day today and came up with this. It is going to be a multi chapter fic.
He had let everyone down. Mike was in prison and his firm no longer existed. It was all because of him, everything. He started it all.
He was on his way back to PSL after he dropped Mike to the prison when Jessica had called him to tell him that there was no firm left to come. Currently he was walking back from Jessica's condo (where Louis, her and him had tried to figure out what their next course of action was going to be). He was walking because he felt defeated. He needed some air. It was already past midnight He was tired, however his feet had another plan. Without even realizing he walked all the way to her apartment. It had only been a few days since he was last here. The words "I have faith in you" still fresh in his mind. Somehow those words provided him solace yet stung him because he had let her down as well. He knocked at her door, once, twice, no answer. It was then that it occurred to him that she must be at Rachel's place. However when he was just about to leave the door opened. "Harvey! What are you doing here?" she asked with softness in her voice. "I..um I don't know actually. I mean I just feel so defeated and I just had to see you" She opened the door wider so as to let him in and went to get a bottle of scotch and two glasses. They were sitting on the couch and drinking silently when Harvey spoke "I am sorry to keep bothering you like this. I just feel awful that I let Mike take the call when he could have had his wedding and a future ahead. He had someone who loved him unlike me and had I take the blame at least all of you wouldn't have to bear the consequences..."
"Harvey STOP!" Donna said firmly. "It was not just your fault he was equally guilty." But Harvey didn't seem convinced so she tried again "Harvey, look at me. I am going to say this again, you are a good man. I don't want you to be guilt ridden, okay! You have a firm to rebuild right now. Don't accept defeat. You can't change the past. Also, don't ever talk about going to prison again because I can't bear the thought of you being locked up." It was then it hit him. She was that one whom he hadn't given justice to. He loved her, of course. But how? She was the only person in his life whom he would approach without a second thought. She knew him inside out and yes! He was capable of looking at her that way. So he did, he was noticing those curves, her beautiful red hair and her face in THAT way. God she was beautiful! Donna being Donna realized that Harvey wasn't paying attention to what she was speaking or thinking about anything what he had come to talk to her about. "Earth to Harvey!" It was then that he leaned forward to kiss her, their lips slightly brushing when she gently pushed him and whispered "I am seeing someone Harv". "Oh, I am sorry, my bad. I don't know what I was thinking" with that he grabbed his coat and walked outside her apartment leaving her flabbergasted.
