Disclaimer: In the world where I own Suits Mike and Harvey are in a complicated yet wonderful romantic relationship.
A/N: CazB – This review made my day – yes, I think Louis is generally creepy without intending to.
hikeyosemite – I know the frog part was silly, but it's what makes life fun. I think everyone is allowed to do a silly thing once in a while. I would kiss a frog, had I been able to catch one wink.
Enjoy
Thursday
When Mike woke up it wasn't as usual to the hard-on and unfulfilled desires. He felt warm and comfortable as if still basking in the afterglow of yesterday's activities. He smiled and sighed with satisfaction, snuggling into Harvey's embrace. He could feel Harvey's fingers splayed on his stomach, his fingertips brushing Mike's skin, causing shivers to run down his spine. Then, there was the warm breath in his ear and Mike suddenly felt like giggling. It was a different kind of high, Mike decided. It was love, attraction and contentment brought together and he wanted to stay like that for the rest of his life. Here, tangled in the silky sheets and tangled in Harvey, in this safe haven high above the city skyline.
Harvey stirred and opened his eyes only to close them and pull Mike closer against his chest, and Mike could swear he heard him purring. Yes, he thought, that was exactly Harvey, a giant cat napping in the spot of sunlight. "Morning," Harvey purred straight to his ear and Mike could feel that purr going straight to his groin. Then, Harvey's hand travelled lower and Mike couldn't think anymore.
Harvey wasn't here, Jessica realized glancing into Harvey's office trying to ignore Donna's poker face. It could be a good thing or a very, very bad thing. On her way she noticed that Mike's cubicle was still empty. She heard the muttered comments of other associates and smiled inwardly. Yes, it was a good idea to hire Mike, if his absence was enough to enrage others. It meant that he was good enough to inspire jealousy and in this job jealousy was a good sign. She could still remember when Harvey was younger and still trying to earn his place on this twisted and slippery ladder of Pearson Hardman. He never had it easy with others and it seemed now that neither did Mike.
Yes, they are perfect for each other, she grinned, effectively scaring a couple of first years, because a grin like that couldn't mean anything good.
Louis was the first after Donna to notice Harvey's absence. Donna assumed that he was way too preoccupied with trying to woo Rachel to really care about Harvey right now. But she wasn't and she didn't like the feeling of being left in the dark. Of course, she knew about Harvey's and Mike's repressed feelings but they were both too deep in the closet to notice them. So where the hell were they?
"Three hours late," Mike taunted stepping into the elevator, "that must be a record for you."
"It's your fault," Harvey pouted and Mike couldn't help himself but kiss that pout away. They were lucky the elevator was empty as the kiss quickly turned into a full make out session, right under the noses of their co-workers.
When they finally stepped out of the elevator and into the hallway Mike's hair was more unruly than usual, his lips red and swollen. Harvey's shirt was crumpled and his tie was loosened and that alone, in Mike's eyes, made him look adorably fuckable.
"I want your hot mouth on me, Harvey," Mike leaned in and groaned right to Harvey's ear. Sending his boss a teasing grin, he turned on his heel and headed to his cubicle, not bothering to turn around. If he did, he would notice Harvey's gobsmacked expression and the hunger swirling in his dark eyes.
"Jessica," Harvey didn't bother with greetings, instead smiling like a cat that ate the canary.
"Harvey," she answered stoically, "had a good morning, I trust."
Harvey's smile got wider. "How the hell did you lead Mike to believe that you were in love with me?" He asked in astonishment.
"He obviously has problems with drawing conclusions," Jessica smirked, "but I hope you set him straight?" she quirked an eyebrow.
"Straight isn't exactly the word I'd use," Harvey was practically oozing satisfaction.
Jessica thought she'd never seen him so relaxed and happy before. "Good for you, Harvey."
Harvey made his way to the door but before he left Jessica cleared her throat. "Harvey."
"Yes, Jessica?"
"You should probably take Mike to Donna and explain to her the entire situation, before you will cause problems that you won't like dealing with. You know how she gets if she's kept in the dark."
Harvey's smile instantly disappeared. "You're probably right," he looked at her curiously, "but what makes you think she doesn't know already?"
"Oh, Harvey," she looked at him with pity, "it's a good thing you're with Mike, cause you really have no idea how to read women."
Mike was proofing the files he found on his desk, trying to ignore the accusing looks of his fellow associates when he felt a brief pat on his shoulder and suddenly Harvey was in his line of vision. It took all of Mike's willpower not to smile goofily at him and instead quirk and eyebrow quizzically.
"Whazz up?" He exclaimed cheerily attracting stares from all over the room.
"My office, Mike," Harvey smiled and grinned briefly. Mike was on his six in an instant. "Don't forget the files, Mike." Harvey laughed. Yes, his puppy was as eager as ever if not more.
Donna was already at her desk, shifting through some magazine without much interest. "Harvey, puppy," she muttered darkly as soon as she saw them. There was a thunderstorm in her eyes, and Harvey swallowed before opening his office door and motioning her in. Yes, he realized, there will be hell to pay.
THE END
A/N: I feel like it's the best place to finish this story. It's a cliffhanger, I'll admit, and I'm not very partial to those, but it feels right, so… don't shout. Hope you liked it.
