Title :: Okay.
Disclaimer :: I still don't own them.

-x- Chapter Two.

"No! Really! It happened. Harvey threw a punch, ended up hitting my father right in the face!" Aaron laughed loudly, and Harvey tried to ignore the painful grip in his chest when Mike laughed with him. The only thing that softened the blow was the fact that Harvey knew that Mike's laugh was fake right now. He knew the sound of Mike's actual laugh perfectly, and that wasn't it.

Harvey quickly hid himself behind the corner, peering just enough around it to see the two of them.

"So, Mike." Aaron looked up at him. "Now that Harvey isn't around, do you really think you'll work at the firm much longer?"

Harvey turned his head to hear them a little better.

"Honestly?" Mike asked. Harvey's chest tightened painfully, he knew Mike had been offered other jobs at other firms, but Harvey never imagined Mike even contemplating taking any of them. "I already told you, Aaron. I'm happy with where I am. And-" Mike paused, smiling slightly. "I'm happy with Harvey." The tightness in Harvey's chest subsided at that.

"Ah, come on, Mike." Aaron took a step closer to him.

"What are-" Mike started before Aaron stepped closer again, forcing Mike to back against the wall in an attempt to maintain some space between them. "Aaron-"

"Look, Mike," Aaron took another step and Mike started realizing how much bigger Aaron was than him. He had a couple inches in height compared to Mike, and clearly had an advantage at the moment. Mike swallowed. "What I said was true, a lot of people want to get their hands on you." Aaron's hands came up to rest against the wall on both sides of Mike's head. He leaned in very close to Mike's face as he spoke.

Harvey was about to step in when Mike pushed at Aaron roughly, effectively forcing the older man away from him. "You must be out of your mind." Mike took in a breath. "I have to get back to Harvey."

Aaron adjusted his suit jacket slightly, looking at Mike again. "You just made a big mistake, Mike."

"I made a big mistake? You just-" Mike moved to walk away as he spoke but Aaron pushed him against the wall again, pressing his lips to Mike's. Aaron's hands held Mike's arms down against the wall and Harvey had to physically restrain himself from punching a hole in the wall - and then in Aaron's face - before he cleared his throat and came fully around the corner.

Aaron immediately pulled back when he heard Harvey move to stand at the top of the small hallway. Aaron's lips slipped into a smirk instead of being pressed against Mike's like they were half a second ago.

Mike's chest tightened painfully, taking in the look on Harvey's face. "Harvey, I didn't-I wasn't-" Mike voice faltered slightly, unable to handle the idea of Harvey thinking Mike would kiss Aaron willingly. Mike had no idea what Harvey saw but, he could guess that Harvey coming around the corner to see Aaron pressed against him and forcing his tongue down Mike's throat wasn't a comforting thought at the moment.

"Oh! Hey there, Harv. I was just telling Mike here about your little fiasco a few years back." Aaron smiled at him, clasping his hands behind his back.

"Oh, yeah? Would you like a repeat?" Harvey asked sarcastically, though he was completely serious. He'd have no issue throwing his fist into Aaron's jaw right about now.

"Harvey-" Mike stepped forward, placing himself between the two of them. Harvey's look towards Aaron made it look like Harvey was about to kill him.

"What's the matter, Harv?" Aaron asked from behind Mike, raising an eyebrow. "Don't trust your little associate enough? We were just talking." Aaron smirked again.

Harvey glared over Mike's shoulder, his jaw visibly tensing. Mike pressed his hand against Harvey's chest, gently stopping him from taking this any farther than the earlier threat.

"Don't." Mike whispered, looking up at him. Harvey didn't look down at him though, just kept his harsh gaze focused on Aaron. Mike knew that Harvey would cross the line and throw his knuckles into Aaron's face without a second thought. Mike didn't miss Harvey's fist clenching at his sides.

"Jealous there, Harvey?" Aaron asked and at this point Mike even wished he would just shut up. Mike was certainly not going to be able to handle Jessica's wrath if she found out that he was the cause of a fight, when he was there to make sure that one didn't happen. Mike's hand pressed against Harvey's chest a little more.

"Please?" Mike asked quietly, voice just loud enough for Harvey to hear. Harvey finally looked down at him and Harvey immediately saw the pleading look in Mike's eyes. Mike looked terrified and that was something that seemed to melt away all of Harvey's willpower to beat the shit out of Aaron right now.

"Well," Harvey wrapped his arm around Mike's hips instead. "I think it's time to head on upstairs, don't you think?" Harvey gently pulled Mike against him. "So sorry to have to pull you two away from one another." Mike winced and Aaron's head dropped with a small laugh on his lips, obviously he knew that he was getting on Harvey's nerves.

"It was nice talking with you, Mike." Aaron gave them both smiles. "I'm sure we'll be talking again soon." Aaron brushed past them, both of them noticed the way Aaron's hand grazed across Mike's lower back as he walked away. Harvey was about to reach out, tempted to grab Aaron, throw him into a wall and threaten him to never touch Mike in any way, anywhere ever again but, Mike's hand taking his stopped him. "Enjoy the rest of your night, gentlemen." Aaron called out as he headed back into the event.

"Harvey-"

"Upstairs." Harvey ordered quickly. His voice was tight, almost as tight as his jaw, and it actually made Mike wince and cause his heartbeat to double. Harvey placed a hand on the small of Mike's back, ushering him towards the elevators around the corner.

The slow ride up seemed to take longer than ever before. It was silent, much too silent for Mike's liking. Harvey wasn't looking at him, and he wasn't touching Mike anymore either. Harvey didn't have his arm around Mike's waist, he wasn't holding his hand, or even the usual touch of fingertips gently placed against the small of his back like there usually was. The cut off from contact started to make Mike's heart hurt even more.

Mike bit nervously into his lower lip, following Harvey silently into the suite after they reached their floor. Harvey removed his suit jacket first, walking farther into the room to place it over the couch. Mike stayed standing by the door, looking down as Harvey walked out of view.

His chest hurt more now than it did downstairs when he first saw Harvey.

Subconsciously, Mike wiped at his mouth. He winced slightly when he brushed over where Aaron bit into his lower lip. He didn't realize he was doing it but, he was wiping the back of his hand over his lips when Harvey stepped back into his view.

Mike watched almost teary eyed as Harvey let out a long sigh and ran a hand through his hair. "...Mike-"

"Harvey, I'm so sorry-" Mike looked up and jumped towards him immediately, wrapping his arms around Harvey's neck. "I didn't-Harvey-I swear-"

Harvey had to suck in a breath as Mike wrapped around him, Mike's hug was tight enough that it almost knocked the wind out of him. Mike felt as though Harvey was going to push him off, push him off for kissing Aaron or maybe for being an idiot and letting Aaron kiss him but then, after a moment, Harvey was wrapping arms around him and hugging Mike back instead, pulling the younger man closer to him. Harvey could hear Mike's voice beginning to break while he tried to stumble through an apology. It was easy to tell that Mike was in tears and Harvey started to feel terrible.

"I know, Mike." Harvey's voice was gentle, breath soft against Mike's neck.

Mike just held him tighter and Harvey's heart started to hurt as he listened to Mike try to calm himself down. "Aaron just - he just -"

"I saw what happened, Mike, it's okay." He put his hand in Mike's hair, caressing him gently.

Mike pulled back slowly, swallowing hard before shaking his head. "No, I know, but what you saw isn't what happened-"

"Mike." Harvey moved his hands to Mike's face, causing Mike to stop talking. "I saw you try to push him. I saw you fight with him first."

Mike was looking at him with tears in his eyes. "Y-you did?"

Harvey nodded, a small reassuring smile forming. Harvey's smile faded slightly and he glanced at Mike's lips before meeting his eyes once more. "I'm not mad at you...I'm mad at him."

"You are?" Mike sniffed.

Harvey nodded again, stroking his thumb across Mike's cheek to get rid of a tear. "...It's...technically sexual assault, you did tell him no. You could report it...if you wanted."

Mike met his gaze. "Harvey-"

"I know, I know." He gave Mike a small half smile. "You're too sweet of a guy to do that." Harvey tilted his head slightly as he ran his thumb over Mike's bottom lip.

"So," Mike sniffed. "You're not mad at me?"

Harvey shook his head. "No, Mike." Harvey's hands fell back to Mike's sides. "Why would I be?"

"I mean, I...I did tell you to grow up-"

"I needed to." Harvey nodded.

Mike bit into his lower lip. "But-"

"Mike." Harvey placed his hands against Mike's face once more, thumbs gently sliding beneath his eyes. "Listen, I'm the one who should be telling you that I'm sorry. And I am. I overreacted and I certainly didn't handle the situation like I should have." Harvey wrapped Mike up in his arms once more, holding Mike against his chest. "I'm sorry, Mike."

Mike wasn't crying anymore but he still had a line of tears in his eyes. Harvey pulled the younger man closer against him.

Mike clutched to the front of Harvey's dress shirt and, under other circumstances, Harvey would tease him about messing with fine clothing but, at the moment, he couldn't bring himself to care. He was just happy to have his associate back where he needed him, back where he belonged.

-x-

Harvey wordlessly tugged Mike farther into their suite, heading towards the shower. He kept his arm wrapped around Mike, kept the younger man as close as he could. Mike wrapped his hand tightly around Harvey's.

Harvey undressed Mike slowly, kissing him gently after undoing each button on his shirt. Mike fell into the motion of Harvey's hands, moving with him as Harvey turned the shower water on. They finished undressing one another as the water heated up.

In the shower, Mike leaned into the soft touches from Harvey's fingertips, head resting in the crook of Harvey's neck and shoulder. Harvey positioned Mike under the water, holding the younger man to him. Harvey soaped up Mike's skin, cleaning him of all of Aaron's touch.

"I'm still really sorry." Mike mumbled into his shoulder after a few minutes.

"You don't need to be. It's just Aaron, Mike. He...he ruins things."

Mike pulled back to look at him after Harvey was silent for a long moment. "Harvey?" Mike prompted.

Harvey's hands moved to his lower back, fingers pressing against the small dimples at the base of Mike's spine, letting his hands graze into Mike's skin there. "He..." Harvey sighed. "He talked to you about the job, and just, with the drink and...then I saw him against you-I just..." Harvey let out a breath. "I got jealous, I did." He admitted as he looked down at Mike. "I don't ever wanna see you kissing someone else again." Harvey's hand reached up, stroking Mike's temple before running his fingers through Mike's wet hair.

Mike frowned, looking away. "I didn't want him to do it." He mumbled.

"I know." Harvey gave him a reassuring nod.

"I told him I was happy with you."

"I know." Harvey leaned down, pressing their foreheads together before placing a soft kiss against Mike's lips. "And it's good, because I'm happy with you too Mike."

Mike smiled gently up at him before leaning into Harvey once more.

They stayed under the water for a long time, relaxing into one another, and trying to calm down from earlier events.

-x-

Later, they crawled into bed together, Mike lying to face Harvey, burrowing himself into Harvey's side the second the older man got into bed. Harvey cuddled the younger man towards him, closing his eyes as he felt Mike's breath soft against his chest.

"I don't want him to take you away from me." Harvey admitted after a long silent moment, hands stroking through Mike's hair.

Mike brought himself out of his little hiding spot. "What?" Confused blue eyes met Harvey's. Though Harvey stayed silent, looking away from him. "Harvey, he couldn't..." Mike shook his head. "No one could." He admitted, trying to get Harvey to look at him once more.

When Harvey all but refused to match his gaze, Mike sat up a little more and settled himself halfway over Harvey's chest. He used one hand to tilt Harvey's chin towards him, finally getting Harvey to look him in the eye.

"No one." Mike repeated.

Harvey searched his eyes for a good ten seconds before finally giving Mike a small smile.

"Okay." Harvey's voice was soft as he nodded a bit.

"Okay?" Mike drew in a deep breath, sighing against Harvey's lips.

"Okay." He said softly again before pulling Mike close against him.

Mike smiled slightly against Harvey's lips, just before Harvey pulled him into another kiss. Harvey's hands fell to Mike's hips, pulling the younger man fully on top of him. Mike sunk down into Harvey. He lazily kissed at Harvey's jaw, gently biting at his skin every so often before making a stripe down Harvey's neck and towards his collarbone.

Harvey moaned from above him, digging his fingers into Mike's sides softly as the younger man continued. Mike smiled against him as he felt Harvey's hands sneak up the back of his shirt. Harvey's fingers gently drew shapes on his back as Mike kissed him.

Mike stretched his arms over Harvey's head, leaning closer to him. "Hey, Harvey?"

"Hm?" Harvey gripped at Mike's hips a little tighter.

"I love you." Mike smiled at him.

Harvey leaned forward slightly, pressing his lips to his boyfriend's. "I love you too, Mikey." He paused, letting out a breath. "I love you too." He repeated, before kissing Mike once more and squeezing his hips a little tighter.

So, there's that. I hope you liked it. Review, please. Maybe if I get enough of them, I'll throw in some possessive!Harvey smut. Because that's always a good thing.
