*I do not own these characters*
I recently fell in love with the show and am obsessed with Harvey and Donna's relationship. This first chapter takes place about month into the future since episode 3x10. Scottie and Harvey are in a relationship but it fails very quickly because of a certain someone.
Scottie laid herself over Harvey as he drank his morning coffee in bed. He was happy to have her around. He finally felt like he was taking positive steps towards growing up. Over the last few years he knew he prioritised work too often but he couldn't deny his love for his job. After all, he was the great Harvey Specter. Scottie leaned up towards him and placed a soft kiss on his cheek before she buried her face in his neck. As she moulded into him he continued to drink his coffee and scroll through his emails on his phone. Up until now he hadn't realised just how nice it was to have someone to wake up to in the morning. Yes, he wasn't known for showing emotions but even Harvey Specter needed morning cuddles.
"Can I ask you something?" Scottie said quietly without looking him in the eye.
"Sure. What's up?" he finally pulled away from his phone to look at her.
"I know this is stupid but it really bothers me…" she trailed off, not knowing how to phrase her question.
"What's going on? You can tell me," he said.
"Have you ever had feelings for Donna?" she said sheepishly.
"Are you serious? Where is this coming from?" he replied defensively sitting up straight in bed. She looked at him in almost a guilty way. He could tell that this was something she'd been meaning to ask for a while. He rolled his eyes before replying.
"No, I don't have feelings for her. I have feelings for you." He'd been asked this question so many times before by other people that he had almost convinced himself it was true. He knew he'd always have feelings for Donna but he also knew that it was too complicated for him to admit them.
"That's not what I asked you, Harvey. I asked you if you've ever had feelings for her. Like, in all the time you've known her." Scottie said. Harvey stopped and thought about this question. He remembered back to that night 10 years ago when he'd slept with Donna. He couldn't deny the fact that he'd had strong feelings for her back then. Over time he'd managed to push the feelings down, just like she did. It wasn't a big deal, so he decided he owed Scottie the truth.
"I don't want to lie to you. There was one time…" he admitted slowly. She jumped up before he could finish explaining himself.
"Oh my god. Are you kidding? Great. That makes this so much worse than I thought," she said angrily while shaking her head and putting her clothes back on.
"Wait, Scottie, don't freak out. It was 10 years ago!" he raised his voice.
"It still happened!" she yelled. He stopped when he realised how upset she was. They both just looked at each other for a moment. He motioned for her to sit back down with him.
"I don't know if I can do this Harvey. You see her every day. And it doesn't help that she's in love with you," Scottie said.
"Hey! This is unfair. She's not in love with me. You're overreacting about all of this," said Harvey.
"ARE YOU BLIND? SHE LOVES YOU! EVERYONE KNOWS IT EXCEPT FOR YOU!" Scottie screamed at him. Harvey sat there in silence trying to think of a way to completely avoid the truth she had just yelled at him.
"What are you trying to say Scottie? What is this all about?
"I don't want you working with her," she sighed. Harvey paused before he spoke again.
"That's not an option," he said bluntly.
"Then neither am I. If you're seriously choosing her over me then we're done." Scottie walked out of the room without another word. Harvey just sat there in awe of what had just happened. Did he really just choose Donna over Dana? Wait, of course he did. But should he have? He was so confused. He had never been made to choose anything over Donna. He finally had a happy relationship with Dana and now it was suddenly over. But there was no way he was going to fire Donna and lose her in his life. He was done dealing with his emotions for the time being and decided to get ready for work.
