Can't Help Falling in Love- Elvis
Mike had a late night and was ready to get home and see Harvey. Nothing was wrong, it was just one of those days that felt like it lasted forever. His case took longer in court than expected and after he was forced to his clients celebratory party held at his house. "Stop by for one drink, please." He accepted only out of obligatory kindness. After spending long enough to make his rounds and be noticed while not too short of time to be considered rude, he excused himself and get a cab back to their apartment.
He was not prepared for the sight that greeted him as he opened the door. Harvey turned from his spot in front of the stove and welcomed him home. Like a magnet, Mike willingly drifted right over to him and accepted his kiss. He broke off for air and Harvey slipped behind him and wrapped him in his arms. He knew he probably had what Harvey called his 'heart eyes' right now but he wouldn't be able to stop even if he wanted to. On the dining room table were candles. Many candles. And Harvey was cooking him a nice pasta and there were two glasses of wine already poured. "I love you." "I love you too, Mike. I wasn't going to say it last night and ruin it and I'm not going to say it all the time but it's true. I am in love with you. I'm really proud of who you've become and I don't regret any of it for a second. You make me so happy."
The pasta may have been cool by the time they actually ate it but Mike would never even dare call it anything other than perfect. It wasn't until they sat at the table sharing their meal that Mike really noticed the best part of the evening. "Did you make a playlist of love songs?"
Harvey didn't even hesitate at the question. He leaned over and cupped Mike's face. "If the food and candles didn't clue you in, I figured you would pickup on the music sooner or later" he said with a laugh. Mike did the only thing he could at that moment and straddled Harvey and started round 3 right there on the dining room floor.
"God, I love you Harvey. You have no idea."
"I think I do, kid. I think I do."
'Take my hand, take my whole life too for I can't help, falling in love with you.'
As Mike heard the song play, he couldn't hold it in any longer. "Maybe you do understand.. This is quite possibly the cheesiest playlist ever" he said in jest, but here was nothing but fondness in the tone.
