Chapter 1
The Kiss
Mike couldn't deny it any longer, he had spent countless nights tossing and turning trying to convince himself, but the feelings wouldn't go away.
He had feelings for Harvey, his boss
Mike was sitting at his cubicle tapping his pen on the files on his desk nervously, with his knee bobbing up and down. Harvey had ordered him to find something to win the case and he had started to but got distracted. He just couldn't stop thinking about Harvey
It had started last Friday when they had stayed late working on a case together, everyone else was gone. They were in Harvey's office and Mike was so tired and wanted to go home, they had ordered Chinese food and were laughing and joking, whilst eating. That's when Mike first thought of Harvey as more than friend, and his heart skipped a beat every time Harvey laughed.
They were just wrapping up a case that Harvey won and were celebrating.
Harvey had poured him a glass of scotch and was handing to him when their hands touched, time instantly froze and Mike just stared at Harvey's face. Harvey did the same. Their faces were so close that Mike was a few seconds away from kissing Harvey. Mike could feel his heart racing. but then Mike remembered where he was and why he couldn't kiss Harvey, he wouldn't get involved with his boss, not again, not after what happened. So Mike turned his head from Harvey and took the glass mumbling thanks.
It had been awkward for Mike after that, he had thought about what had happened all weekend. So he avoided Harvey on Monday and for the next few days, only seeing him to give him files and when he asked to see Mike.
Mike had no idea what Harvey was feeling that night, or the thoughts going on his head, but he didn't want to think about that, he wouldn't allow himself to get hurt again. The last time he trusted someone with his heart they smashed it, Mike couldn't bare it if Harvey did that.
Mike placed his face in his hands as his head hurt from all the thinking. He was alone in the associates section as everyone had gone home, it was 9 at Mike didn't understand why he was still here, he could have taken the files home hours ago but he didn't. He knew if he went home he would only think about Harvey, yet he was doing that here anyway so he might as well go home.
Mike jumped when someone coughed and he looked up to see the man who had been on his mind, tormenting him. Mike averted his gaze back to the files in front of him
"Harvey what are you doing here? Thought you were home hours ago." Mike pretended to be reading the files
"Mike. My office now. And bring those files that your pretending to read." Harvey walked off, not waiting for a response
Mike groaned, he didn't trust himself to be alone with Harvey. He leant forward and let his head hit the desk, then he got up slowly, put on his suit jacket, grabbed the files and headed to Harvey's office.
~~SUITS~~
Harvey had missed seeing Mike the last few days, every time he did see the kid it was only for a few seconds when he brought him a file and even then he wouldn't look at him. Harvey knew why though, last Friday he and Mike had stayed late and had Chinese and Harvey had to admit it was fun to hang out with Mike.
Harvey had never thought of Mike in that way before, but something about how Mike had a twinkle in his eye couldn't stop Harvey from looking at Mike. Then when Harvey hadn't Mike a glass of scotch and their hands touch, Harvey felt something, something he hadn't felt with anyone before. And looking at Mike, Harvey desperately wanted to kiss him, only he waited to see what Mike wanted, they were so close he wanted to see if Mike moved closer or further away. To Harvey's disappointment Mike moved away and left rather quickly.
Then on Monday, Harvey never even saw Mike once and the last few days, Harvey caught rare sightings of Mike, and Harvey had had it, he wanted his associate back.
He knew Mike was still in the office; at his cubicle so he stayed later than he needed to waiting for Mike to come to him. He never did though so he went to Mike, and he saw Mike at his cubicle with his head in his hands. Something was wrong with the pup
That's why he called him to his office, to find out once and for all what was wrong.
Harvey stood looking out the window, his back to his office door when Mike walked in. Harvey heard him come in, but didn't turn around.
"Put the files on the desk" Mike did as he was told and went to leave, when Harvey turned around;
"Mike" Mike stopped and froze, like he was caught doing something, he turned
"Yes Harvey"
"Do you want a drink?" Harvey said pouring two glasses of scotch, for both him and Mike, he held it out to Mike who hesitated but then took it and downed the glass in one go.
"Is everything ok Mike?" Harvey took a step closer to Mike
"Yeah fine, why?" Mike didn't look at Harvey
"Because you've avoided me for the past 3 days and won't look me in the eye. Look if its about what happened last Friday I-"
Mike's head shot up to looking at Harvey; "Harvey don't"
"What?"
"Please can we just not talk about Friday"
"Why Mike?" Harvey took another step forward and Mike took a step back, Mike turned to leave he was right in front of the door, which was closed. Mike went to open it, but Harvey's hand reached out and blocked him, Harvey had his cornered between the bookshelf and the door. Mike couldn't look at Harvey, he was so close Mike could hear his breath
"Mike look at me" Harvey's voice was soft
Mike refused
Harvey moved his hand from the door and touched Mike's chin, he turned Mike to face him. Mike looked at Harvey's brown eyes staring back at him and felt his legs go week
Harvey was closing the space between them; "Harvey don't" Mike whispered and Harvey stopped just before his lips met Mike's, Mike could feel Harvey's body touching his and Harvey's other hand moved to Mike's waist pulling Mike against him
"Tell me to stop Mike and I will" Harvey whispered as he stroked Mike's cheek, not taking his eyes off Mike
Mike gulped, he wanted this, wanted Harvey, but he was scared about getting hurt again. It had taken him over a year to get over the hurt and he had finally moved on, he couldn't bare that to happen again, especially not with Harvey. The man who gave him a second chance, a man he respected and admired, a man who-
Harvey could see Mike's gears turning in his head, and when he didn't hear Mike say anything he took that as Mike not objecting. Harvey closed the space between them when he moved his hand to the back of Mike's head and slammed their lips together, cutting Mike's thoughts off.
Mike closed his eyes as Harvey kissed him, he bit Mike's bottom lip and Mike moaned, as Harvey pulled away for a second, their foreheads touching. Mike reached out and put his hands on Harvey's chest to push Harvey away, but instead he grabbed Harvey's tie and pulled Harvey in for another kiss, then he moved his hands to the back of Harvey's neck as he kept him pulled up against him.
Harvey's hands were on Mike's waist as Harvey pushed Mike against back so his back hit the wall, and Harvey deepened the kiss, his tongue exploring every inch of Mike's mouth, Harvey relished the moan Mike made.
Mike was having a civil war inside him, his heart telling him to keep kissing Harvey, while his head said to pull away to not get hurt. Mike pushed them away as the kiss was overpowering and it was nothing Mike had experienced before.
When they both pulled away, Mike and Harvey was breathless like they just ran a marathon. Harvey ran his hand through Mike's hair and smiled at him as Mike rubbed circles on the back of Harvey's neck.
"That..that was amazing" Mike finally said
"I know. You should know that I'm the best at everything" Harvey gave Mike his Specter smile
Suddenly Harvey leaned forward and started kissing Mike's neck and Mike leant his head back and closed his eyes, savouring the moment. When Harvey hit the right spot Mike moaned.
Suddenly Mike heard a ringing and thought it was the blood rushing to his ears, when Harvey pulled back and looked at Mike
"Is that your phone?" Harvey asked
"What? Oh yeah" Mike pulled it out and threw it on the sofa, not looking who was calling. Then he smiled back at Harvey
"So where were we?" Harvey smiled back and returned to kissing Mike's neck; "Right here"
Mike's phone rung for the second time, Mike told Harvey to ignore it. The third time know Harvey pulled fully away from Mike; "Maybe you should answer it"
Mike inwardly groaned as he missed Harvey's body against his. He picked up the phone and hit the answer button on the last ring. He held it to his ear and looked at Harvey;
"Donna if that's you, you got terrible timing" Harvey sniggered at Mike's comment
"Mike?" Mike's blood ran cold as he heard a male voice, he knew it instantly; "It's me Jackson"
"Yes I know what do you want. Why are you calling me?" Mike turned his back on Harvey, but Harvey had already heard what Mike said as was looking at him with a raised eyebrow
Harvey was annoyed at Mike's phone ringing, why couldn't the kid have it on silent. He watched at Mike answered the call and his expression shifted from being happy to downright pissed off. Harvey was worried as Mike's left hand began to shake and his voice was angry as he spoke to the person on the phone, he had heard every word
"Look Mike, I know I agreed not to contact you again, but I'm in New York and I-"
"You're what! What are you doing here? And how the hell did you get my number?" Mike could feel his hands shaking and his anger rising
"I'm here on business, and I called Trevor and got your number of him"
"You called Trevor! What the hell is wrong with you? Look we had a deal and you agreed to never contact me again, so leave me the hell alone and don't call me again!" Mike yelled as he ended the call and cut the man off. Mike gripped the phone tight as he tried to calm down
Harvey moved around the desk and put his hands on Mike's waist as he saw Mike was upset. Mike flinched and backed away from Harvey.
Mike turned to face Harvey and he could see Mike was crying; "Mike what's wrong?" Harvey moved closer but Mike held up his shaking hands to stop him
"I er I'm sorry Harvey I have to go" Mike said and Harvey could hear Mike's voice breaking, something really upset Mike and that pissed Harvey off. He wanted to know who the hell upset him, no one hurts his puppy!
"Mike-" But Mike had just yanked open the door, and walked out leaving Harvey standing alone in his office. He debated going after him, but honestly he was afraid too. He's never felt this way about anyone before and he wasn't sure what to do, so he let Mike go; and he wish he had gone after him.
Mike grabbed his bag and jumped quickly onto the elevator, as the doors closed he let it all go, he let the tears fall as he remembered how Jackson had hurt him. Jackson was the love of his life; well that's what he used to think. He was his fiancé. It was the day of their wedding when Mike stopped by their place to get something and he found Jackson with someone else. In that moment he felt like his heart had been ripped out of his chest and smashed into a million pieces. It was humiliating and Mike had swore never to trust anyone again, he had closed himself off from the world to stop getting hurt, only Harvey had broken through and now Mike was reliving the past and he felt everything that he had pushed away back then. Truthfully Mike never actually got over what Jackson did, he never spoke to the man again and thus he never got closure.
As soon as Mike got off the elevator he jumped on his bike and raced home, tears stinging his eyes.
Once Mike got home he dumped the bike next to the couch and collapsed onto the bed, not bothering to get changed as he just wanted to sleep and forget the world. Mike had drifted off, and didn't hear his phone. Which he didn't realise was Harvey, who called 6 times that night, worried about Mike.
