Harvey threw the file on his desk and forced himself to calm down. He never got violent with someone outside a boxing ring. Other then the time that he wanted to hit Louis. Mike had stopped him. He remembered that moment vividly. The force with which he held him and pushed him away had surprised him. And the effect it had on him had surprised him even more. He could feel the warmth of his grip, and with Mike's face so close to his he felt a sudden urge to kiss him. The only reason he could fight it off was because Louis was standing three feet away. And if anything could kill the mood it was the sight of Louis.

First he thought it was because he was high. That always made you feel things far more intensely then normal. But even if that was the case, that still meant he wanted to kiss him.

The urge kept lingering just under the surface since that night. It had been hard for him to look at Mike without feeling that urge rising. Well, at least he did not have that urge this time.

He prided himself that he could read people as if their thoughts were printed on their forehead. But he could not guess for the life of him what possessed Mike to act like this. Did he do something to piss Mike off? Did Mike want to make some stupid point? It was so out of character for him. But then again, the fact that he grabbed and almost punched Mike, someone who was so close to him was also very out of character for himself. He sighed. This case was getting under his skin. Mike should not have done what he did. But that was no excuse for his reaction.

He pressed the intercom. "Donna, get Mike in here"

Donna stared at the intercom. The anger had subsided from his voice but she wasn't sure she wanted to do what Harvey asked her. Instead of doing what he told her to do she walked in and closed the door behind her. She had to see how he was doing first.

Harvey looked up and immediately a frown appeared above those gorgeous brown eyes. "What is it? Is it 'ignore everything Harvey wants-day'?"

She hesitated, took a breath and said: "No, it's 'let's check whether some people will get devoured when they walk in here-day."

The frown got deeper. "Don't be ridiculous. Just get him."

She wasn't going to give in that easily. "Why do you want to see him?"

"None of your business."

Donna said down in the chair in front of his desk. "Harvey, I have known you for a long time but apart from Louis, which is totally understandable, I have never seen you get so angry with someone. I want to make sure that you are not going to fire Mike, or do something even more stupid." Harvey leaned back in his chair and looked at her. "More stupid then that stunt he just pulled?"

"Well, yeah, that was pretty stupid. But you know Mike. This is so not like him. He must have had some kind of black out. Or maybe he just did not understand the rush or maybe…. Well I don't know why, but I just don't want you to do something you are going to regret. And you are still way too pissed off to settle this now."

She was right. As always. God, sometimes he hated the woman for being right all the time.

He sighed. "Ok, maybe it is too soon. Tell him that I want him to see him tonight. He can come over to my place. I expect him at 9."

That she would gladly do. She immediately got up form her chair "I'm on it"

"And Donna….."

"Yeah?"

"He better not be late."

When Mike saw Donna walk up to his cubicle he hardly dared to look at her. For a moment he thought she came to tell him that he could pack his bag, hand over his badge and was never to set foot in the building again. But she just shook her head and said "Mike what were you thinking?" He opened his mouth to say something but she continued. "No, leave it, I do not want to know. I may have to testify in court one day and the less I know the better. I just saved your ass back there rookie, so you owe me one." He looked at her with those blue eyes, gratitude written all over his face. She couldn't help but smile. 'God he can be so adorable.'

"But you're not off the hook yet. He expects you at his house tonight. Nine sharp. Don't be late. And you better learn how to say sorry and plead for forgiveness in twenty different languages."
