A/N

As you can probably tell this story is completely AU. In this fic Mike isn't a lawyer but still has a close relationship with Harvey (you'll figure out how the more you read) also I have made Harvey and Donna at around 30 years of age and Mike and Rachel at around 20. I know this seems very confusing but the more you read the more it becomes clear.

Rachel Zane was having a difficult day, she had woken up late for work and left her work at home which resulted in her being even later for work as she had to go and get it. The cab she usually rode was booked by someone else and as such she had to walk to work. Then as if her morning wasn't bad enough some idiot ran into her, knocking her and her work all over the pavement.
"Oh my god, I am so, so sorry" the stranger said. He then proceeded to help her up and grab her things, placing them in her arms.
"I am so sorry Miss… I wasn't looking where I was going. I am so sorry. Are you okay?" Rachel felt her anger evaporate at the mans concerned face.
"Yeah I'm… I'm fine… uh" she stuttered. The man was gorgeous but in a boyish way and it was nice that he was too worried over hurting her to bother flirting.
"Uh sorry, I'm late for work, I've got to go" this stopped the man.
"Of course, sorry uh... I'm sorry once again" he apologised. Rachel smiled before walking to work.

Work was boring; the office was too quiet which was strange considering Harvey Specter was in his office. Harvey may be the best damn closer in the city but his temper meant no one ever got a moments peace. Today however the man was unusually quiet, Rachel had to look in his office a couple of time to make sure he was still alive. The quiet however had helped Rachel do her work and most of the load had been finished before lunchtime, an amazing feat considering she had been over an hour late to work. It was later that afternoon when Rachel was distracted. She had finished her work for Harvey and had gone to given him the files when Donna stopped her.
"He's dealing with a personal matter" she said. Rachel was about to ask Donna to give the files to Harvey when he was done when a loud shout of
"MIKE" radiated from the room. A second later the door opened and for the second time that day Rachel was knocked off her feet. The person responsible helped her up and she realised it was the same person as before.
"We need to stop meeting like this" he chuckled. She nodded numbly
"Are you okay? I feel horrible" she nodded once again and was about to speak when Harvey yelled his name again. Mike winked
"I guess that's my que" and then Mike ran out of the office with Harvey following him.
"Damn… what's the kid done now?" Donna muttered under her breath. Rachel choose to remain quiet and went back to her office.

It was three weeks before she saw Mike again, well in fact she didn't see him she found him… hiding behind a bookshelf in the library. When he didn't notice her, she coughed loudly.
"Oh!... hey" he said shyly. Rachel laughed
"What are you doing?" she asked. He looked down at his feet
"Nothing" Rachel raises an eyebrow
"I guess I'll just go an ask Harvey, he seems to know you" at this Mike shot up.
"NO! uh he's…uh... he's mad at me" at this Rachel laughed
"You're hiding from him?"
"Yeah you try dealing with a mad Harvey and see how you fare" he said defensively. At this Rachel sighed and sat down next to him. Mike stared at her
"What are you doing?" he asked. She stared at him
"Well I can't leave you here like this can I? who knows what you would do" Mike just said nothing and slid down next to her.

They sat in complete silence before Rachel asked how Mike knew Harvey
"Can't tell you that miss, he has a reputation to protect after all"
"The names Rachel and a reputation to protect? Surely it can't be that bad, can it?" Mike grinned adorably
"Oh yes, I'm afraid it is. It involves a lot of emotions and fighting and maybe a broken law or two" Rachel stared at him for a couple of seconds before bursting out laughing
"Hey what's so funny?" Mike asked.
"Harvey Specter with emotions oh my god" at this Mike began to laugh too. When the laughter died down the two began talking of anything and everything they could think of without getting too personal. They were so engrossed in each other that they didn't realise an hour had gone by until Donna found them.
"What have you done now Mike, oh hi Rachel" Rachel didn't get a chance to reply as Mike began rambling to Donna.
"Nothing, he's just over-reacting" Donna raised an eyebrow
"What! I swear! I didn't do anything."
"Then why are you hiding?" Donna asked. Mike crossed his arms in indignation, Donna laughed
"Stop being such a baby Mike, you're only prolonging the inevitable" Mike shook his head
"Fine, I'll go" he then turned to Rachel
"It was lovely meeting you again, better now that you aren't on the floor. Thanks for keeping me company, I hope you don't get into too much trouble for skipping work." Mike then stalked off to find Harvey.

Donna turned to Rachel
"I better go make sure he's okay, thanks for looking after him" and the older woman left Rachel alone to. Rachel smiled, she never usually found men attractive as they always seemed to be after something, mainly her but this Mike guy seemed like a genuinely nice person and he never even flirted with her. Now she just needed to figure out how he knew Harvey and why nobody seemed bothered that a twenty-year-old was hiding within the library shelves. Rachel hummed as she walked back to her office, she always loved mysteries and it seemed that she had found one big enough to occupy her. It was just a bonus that the mystery happened to be an extremely attractive and nice man. With this in mind she went back to her office and tried to get some work done.
