This was really happening. She couldn't believe it. How did she not see this coming? She's Donna and if Donna can do one thing, it's read people. She didn't see it in Harvey's eyes. All that was there was the pain and despair she's been seeing for the last few days. Nothing in his physical appearance indicated a change. Maybe being in a suit again caused something. Donna did see him smile when he put it on. God that smile. She wished she could see it right now. Wait Donna snap out of it. You can't see it because his tongue's in your mouth.

She couldn't help but feel guilty about this. They've done it before, but nothing like this. Last time was filled with lust and passion but this... this felt sad. Donna's not an idiot. She knows this is "I'm sad and need comfort sex" whether Harvey will admit it or not. She didn't think he would take it this hard. Is there something she missed? That's not possible. Donna doesn't miss anything.

When Harvey pulled away, she swore there were tears in his eyes. Harvey, tears? No. Well after the last few days anything is possible. She couldn't help but wonder… is there something she's missing?

Donna looked up from her call just in time to see Mike walking towards Harvey's door. She wanted to warn him Harvey was on the phone, but the anger in his eyes made it clear that he was on a mission. She listened eagerly on her intercom.

"Yeah just tell them-"

"What the hell, Harvey!"

Donna jumped. She didn't need the intercom to hear that. A few people in the hall stopped to look. Those who dared look directly at Harvey saw the man in rare form: jaw on the floor, phone barely in his hand.

"I'll call you back."

Harvey hung up the phone and looked at Mike.

"What is the problem, Mr. Ross?"

Mr. Ross? That's new, Donna thought.

"You know damn well what the problem is. You call last night-"

Harvey must've cut him off because it was just silent. Why doesn't Donna's desk face the door?

There was silence for about two minutes. She couldn't take it. She grabbed a bunch of papers, got up, and headed down the hall but not before taking a peek into Harvey's office. They were talking. Although she couldn't see Mike's face, she could tell he was angry. Although he was sitting and talking calmly, there's no mistaken the angry arm waves people do when they talk. Harvey looked calm from her glance, but she couldn't be sure.

She did notice the intercom and phone were unplugged.

Donna was in disbelief. Harvey never unplugged the intercom. Something big is going on, and she was going to find out what it was.

That was less than a week ago. Donna never figured out what was going on. She tried for hours to figure out what was going on. When she was close to a breakthrough, Harvey called her. She forgot all about the encounter until that moment. Was that why Harvey was doing it? Because he never reconciled with Mike?

Harvey started to put his hand up her shirt. She looked at the clock on his bedside. They had been there for about a half hour. Donna didn't want to stop this but she knew she had to. At the rate Harvey was moving, it would be awhile before sex was an issue. Even in this mess, he should be more rushed. He even had trouble with her bra. What was going on with him?

Donna was out to dinner with Rachel and had just told her about the situation with Mike. She figured that since they've been dating for a few months, Rachel would know.

Rachel shifted uncomfortably in her chair. She knew something.

"Rachel you better tell me what you know."

She sighed. She knew she couldn't keep it from Donna. "Mike and I stopped dating about a month ago. He broke it off. Donna, it was the weirdest breakup I've ever had."

"Well I'm glad to hear that it was so weird you lied to me for a month about it!" Donna was angry. This was a new anger. She was angry because she didn't know what was going on. Everyone had lies and they all had one thing in common: Mike.

"He came to my apartment one night and when I went to kiss him, he stopped me. He asked if he could come in and talk. He started going on about how we had to break up. He said he couldn't be with me right now. He told me he loved me and he looked like he didn't want to do it. When I asked him what was going on, he didn't answer. He told me that one day he would tell me. It got really weird because he asked me to pretend like everything was normal and that we were still dating."

Donna was quiet. She didn't know what to say.

"Mike and I are closer now than ever though. He comes over about twice a week after work to help me with homework, cases and to just talk. He seems genuinely happy and I don't know. I thought it was another woman but he assured me it wasn't."

Donna was absolutely baffled. She knew something had been off with Mike the last few weeks. He did seem cheerier, even doing the most mundane tasks. He said it wasn't another woman… what the hell happened to him?

Her phone rang. It was Harvey. She picked up and heard the sound of an ambulance.

"It's Mike."

That's all he had to say.

Donna was thinking about that night when Harvey finally gave up on the bra and rolled her over. She felt something underneath her and tried to grab it. She pulled out a button down shirt. Harvey is such a slob. He just undresses in bed?

She pulled the shirt out and went to throw it on the floor when she noticed it was tiny. There's no way Harvey fit in this-

Oh God… it's not his.

Donna pushed Harvey back. He looked confused until he saw her hand. His eyes grew wide and filled with tears.

How did she not see what was happening? Why he was so upset, why he hadn't bothered going to work… everything suddenly clicking in her mind.

Harvey and Mike were together.

Were they in love? How long was it going on? Did anyone know? But most importantly: why didn't she see it?

The bounce in Mike's step, Harvey quoting more movies than usual which meant he was in a good mood, Mike wanting everyone to think he was still with Rachel. He said he would tell her one day! Do they plan on coming out as a couple soon?!

The pain in Donna's heart immediately following it was unbearable. No. They weren't coming out as a couple. Ever. Because Mike is gone.

Donna sat up and leaned against the backboard. Her head was spinning. She never saw this coming. She thought Harvey looked at him like a brother not… like that. Harvey was gay? Harvey wasn't gay. Was he bored? Cut it out Donna!

She looked at Harvey. He was sitting next to her with his shirt off. Although he wasn't crying, she could see his chest quiver. Tears soaking his cheeks.

"Harvey… why didn't you tell me?"

He didn't say anything.

"Please talk to me. Harvey, I feel so helpless. You could've told me. You can tell me everything. If it makes me feel better, you really had me fooled. I had no idea anything was going on until he stormed into your office. Rachel didn't know either. Did you know he broke up with her for you? Rachel told me what he said. He broke up with her for you. I don't know if you were in love but Harvey I need you to talk to me. This has to be killing you. You can't deny it. You might as well tell me."

Harvey got up from the bed and through a t shirt and sweats on. Since Donna only had the dress she wore to the service, Harvey gave her clothes to borrow. They were huge on her, but she didn't care. Anything was better than a dress and heals right now.

They went into the living room. She sat on the couch while Harvey went into the kitchen. He grabbed a bottle of Scotch for him and a bottle of Donna's favorite wine. Of course he would have it as his house.

Neither one wanted a glass. They knew there was no point. Both started drinking from their bottles in silence.

Once Donna was buzzed, she looked at Harvey who was swaying on the couch. He was drunker than her.

Harvey took one last swig, and began their story.

So there's the first chapter. As of right now, I plan on doing Harvey/Mike story as a chapter, then a final chapter concluding everything. Please review! This is my first story in years and all feedback is appreciated. Depending on what I receive, I may change what I have in mind. Thanks!
