Title: Affinity
Rating: PG-13
Summary: You could very well be the nicest guy I know.
Pairing: Harvey/Travis friendship
Warnings: FRIENDSHIP FUCK YEAH
I'm not really the kind that has a lot of friends. Don't get me wrong, I think I'm a pretty awesome guy. There's just not really a market for guys like me.
But then of course there are dudes who are just so popular with the ladies that it's not funny. Like the magician guy. Guys like him blow me out of the water. He's quite famous too. I've seen him on TV. I've seen the way chicks look at him when we go to the bar together. Even without all that ridiculous attire, he's recognisable.
"Hey, you're Harvey! THE Harvey!" Like they forget they're all adults, they scamper over, giggling and purring. He just smiles, totally used to it and is actually really polite to them without even hinting that he wants to do them. I, on the other hand, can't stop salivating over their bare legs. I'm kinda waiting for him to share them or something but in the end he dismisses them in a civilised manner that just causes them to burst into more squeals as they bounce away into the crowd.
"You sure took your time, dude."
"Hey, you sound jealous." Harvey tucks his hair behind his ear, this habit he has before he takes a drink. I've seen him do that way too many times now.
"Well, yeah. I mean, you could've shoved a couple in my direction. 'Bros before hoes'. Or in this case, 'bros during hoes'. Something like that."
"Puh-lease Travis, like you really want to be spoken down to anymore."
"Puh-lease Harvey – they're probably doing that right now. 'Who's that dumpy loser guy sitting with Harvey? Why would Harvey be friends with a loser like him?' You didn't really need to point it out either," I mumble, trying not to make eye contact with him.
But out of the corner of my eye I see him grin and he says, but I'm not sure if he's being sarcastic or not: "Let's get you back in a good mood and raise that damaged ego of yours." He claps a hand on my shoulder. "Drink up. I'll pay."
Despite his success, his flamboyance, his endless streams of cash and endless choice of babes (not to mention my jealousy, my little inferiority complex and the fact that I think he might just be taking pity on me anyway), I toast to him, totally grateful.
END
A/N:I was replaying NMH and I thought that if given the chance, Harvey and Travis would be BFFs.Like, wow. This is the first non-slash thing I've written in years.
