Author's Note: I'm glad so many people are enjoying it! I forgot to mention some things in the first chapter because I was so excited about posting this, so here they are: a) it takes place where the show is now, maybe a month or so later. b) this story isn't slash, just Harvey and Mike friendship.
Disclaimer: As much as I wish I did, I don't own Suits :(
For Harvey, the trip to the hospital was a blur. He frantically shouted himself hoarse for a cab, before finally sliding into the back seat of one. As the taxi took off, he pulled out his phone and called Jessica. It went straight to voicemail and he waited impatiently for the beep.
"Jessica, it's Harvey. Something's wrong with Mike, they took him to the hospital. I'm not sure what's going on, but I think it's safe to say he'll be out Monday. Call me back."
Shortly after, the cab had arrived at the hospital. With a mixture of concern and pity in his eyes, the cabdriver waved off Harvey's attempt to pull out his wallet and pay the fare, leaving Harvey jogging to the hospital's doors.
For Mike, the trip to the hospital was also a blur, although for different reasons. All he knew was that he felt sick and weak, and his body hurt like hell. Why was it so cold? Yet at the same time, beads of sweat dripped down his forehead. A pained whimper escaped him and he felt a hand brush his forehead.
"103.5 and rising," called out a voice, filled with tension. Mike wanted to ask what was going on, but didn't have the strength to try and speak. Before long, he felt the world start to mute itself while for the second time that day, he slipped back into unconsciousness.
Harvey reached the front desk, suit only slightly mussed. "I'm here for Mike Ross. Where is he?"
The receptionist gave him a sympathetic look, as she had clearly seen distressed visitors before. "One moment sir, I need to check." He tapped his fingers on the counter until she found what she was looking for. "Michael Ross was just admitted into emergency surgery. I'm sorry, that's all I can tell you for now. You'll know more when he is moved into a room." With that, she turned back to the screen of the computer.
Harvey took a seat in the waiting room, where only two other people were sitting. He pulled out his phone again and realized that it was already 10:30. "Damn it Mike…what's going on?"
Hours passed, and soon Harvey found himself to be the only one in the brightly lit waiting room. He heard footsteps outside and stood up as a doctor entered.
"Harvey?"
"Ben!" Ben Keller lived in the apartment above Harvey's, and they routinely greeted each other in the lobby of the complex. Harvey knew that Ben was an experienced doctor, so Mike was in good hands.
"I take it you're here for Michael Ross?"
"Yes, he's my associate. How is he?"
"Harvey, why don't we take a walk to his room?" The two men set off down the hall, and the lawyer's heart sank. "He's in the ICU?"
