Harvey looked at the clock for the 4th time in the last 20 minutes, he sighed, already a little after twelve and he isn't even close to done with his report for his morning class. His stomach grumbled.

"If I'm going to suffer- might as well be on a full stomach." He said out loud to no one really, he was alone in his shoddy apartment.

He stood up and grabbed his keys and wallet, making sure he had enough cash to get a decent meal, satisfied he threw on his jacket and headed out the apartment. And then he stopped. There in front his neighbor's door was a man? Boy? A person huddled under a blanket.

"Uh, are you okay?" He asked. The stranger poked his head out from under the blanket, blue eyes wide.
"Me? Yeah I'm fine, my roommate has his girlfriend over and- well- you know, they- the hallway just seemed like the best bet for a goodnight's rest." He stammered out. Harvey chuckled.

"That couldn't possibly be comfortable."
"It's more comfy than in there, I don't even have a bed."

"Just move in?" The stranger nodded. "Well I'm Harvey, and I guess I'm your new neighbor." Harvey outstretched his hand.

"Mike." He said shaking the hand- at a kind of awkward angle considering he was still on the goddamned floor.

"Well Mike, I'll see you around." Harvey said as he walked down the hall to the stairs.
"See ya Harvey." He heard from a distance.

When Harvey returned home he wasn't surprised to see Mike still on the floor, he was surprised to see him still awake though.

"Not so easy sleeping in the hallway, huh?"
"It's really bright."
"Cause' it's a hallway."
"Well I'll take my chances with the light over the noise from in there." Mike tipped his head towards his apartment door.
"Are you hungry?" Harvey asked, surprising Mike- and well himself.
"Huh?"
"I got lots of Thai." He said gesturing to the take out bag in his hand.
"I-I can eat, sure- thanks." He said slowly getting up from his pile of blankets.

"You can bring your blanket and shit- just toss it on the couch." Harvey said, opening the door and letting Mike walk through first.

"Nice place."
"Isn't it the same as yours?"
"I'd hardly call it mine- but not really, yours looks lived in- looks like a home."

"Well when I'm not in a lecture hall, I'm here cramming, writing, or studying." He said moving some papers off the coffee table and setting the food down. He dropped onto the couch and motioned for Mike to do the same.

"You're not like secretly a murderer right? Like the hallway thing isn't some rouse to get into my apartment and kill me right?" Harvey asked, hands filled with boxes of Thai food and chopsticks. Mike busted out laughing.

"Do I look like a murderer- I have a pikachu blanket." Harvey frowned.
"What's a pikachu?" He asked, handing over a box of takeout and pair of chopsticks. Mike stared at him wide eyed.
"You didn't watch Pokémon?"
"Nope."
"Oh my god."
"Is it like a movie-or what- why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'm going to eat and pretend that you didn't miss out on the greatest thing of our youth." To emphasize his words he opened his box and shoveled a pile of noodles into his mouth.

Harvey just shook his head and followed suit, eating his noodles. They ate in a weirdly comfortable silence, Mike silently taking note of things around the apartment.

"Law school?" He asked when he was done eating. Harvey nodded.
"What about you?"
"Still undergrad, 3rd year transfer. Don't really know what I want to do yet, but I've been majoring in psychology."
"It took me a while to figure out I wanted to do law, you got time don't rush it." Mike smiled.
"Well I should head back into the hall- you seem to be working on something." He said getting up, starting to gather his things.

Harvey thought for a minute, there is really no reason Mike can't stay the night here- the kid is nice, he doesn't need to sleep on the ground in the dirty hall.

"You can stay- my couch is more comfy than a bright hallway."
"What about your," he picked up a stack of papers from the table, "case brief due- tomorrow?"
"I can work on it in my room- you're not that big of a distraction."
"You don't have to do that."

"I know, and I wouldn't offer if I didn't want to, now put your shit down and get some rest kid." Mike smiled and put his pikachu blanket back down on the couch, Harvey looked at it. "This little yellow- mouse? That's pikachu?" He points to a figure on the blanket.

"Yeah, and he was fucking awesome." Mike grinned, and well it seemed to be contagious cause' Harvey was grinning too.

"Get some rest." He picked up their empty takeout containers and threw them away in the kitchen, he walked back into his living room to get his papers, smiling to himself when he noticed Mike was already curled up on the couch, eyes already drooping. He flashed Harvey a grateful smile.

"Night Harvey thanks for this."

"It's nothing, goodnight." Harvey turned off the lights and headed towards his room, ready to get back to his assignment, but feeling a little light hearted as he went.

It honestly just felt good to have another person in the apartment with him- he really doesn't have people here except when his brother Marcus or his only fucking friend Donna come to visit (Harvey doesn't have friends at Harvard because he thinks, everyone is fucking pretentious), sometimes he finds someone to share a bed with for the night, but he rarely has actual company. Company is nice, Mike is nice. Plus Mike is his new neighbor- sure he doesn't even remember who his old neighbors were and didn't noticed that anyone left. Okay to hell with it, he doesn't socialize in his building.

Maybe having more than one friend would make his life less fucking boring, Mike seems like a fun guy- he has a mouse blanket.
