Stand By Me-

Harvey knew Mike. Harvey could argue that he knew Mike almost better than Mike knew himself. He knew what each look on his face translated to. He constantly predicted what the kid would prefer to eat at any given restaurant and he knew Mike's quirks. From the good to the bad, he knew Mike in and out which is why he wasn't surprised at all to find Mike shuffling through his home collection of records in-lieu of unpacking the boxes he brought from his apartment for the official move-in. Instead in a very Mike-like manner, he was reading the artist's information on the back of each record sleeve and delicately placing them back into their respective slots one-by-one with a soft sway of his body in time with the music playing the background. He loved that it didn't surprise him at all that Mike was standing in their living room with his collection of boxes scattered around his ankles and yet he couldn't be bothered to actually unload them like he was supposed to do before Harvey got back from dinner with an old client. Harvey lasted three record sleeves before Mike finally realized that Harvey was standing just inside the door and walked towards him to give him a kiss.

"I see you've gotten far unpacking," he said with a gentle smile covering his face.

"I didn't notice how late it was. I went to unload my books a couple hours ago but then I needed some good music to work to and I just got distracted" Mike said with a shrug.

The thing about Mike is that he mastered most of Harvey's looks and quirks as well, even if Harvey insisted that he didn't. Mike understood him so well in fact, that he knew Harvey didn't actually mind that he didn't finish, or even start unpacking any of the boxes yet. Rather than trying to apologize or rush to move his things, he grabbed Harvey's hand and brought him face to face in a gentle embrace in the middle of the living room just as 'Stand By Me' began to echo in the soft light. "When the night has come, and the land is dark and the moon is the only light we'll see.." Harvey can argue all he wants but Mike definitely understood Harvey and even though he couldn't see the older man's face, he just knew there was a smile that accompanied the soft kisses he was receiving just under his ear. Harvey loved these moments just as much as Mike, even if he would lie about it to his grave.
