Summary
"I heard what happened," Jessica says.
Harvey nods but avoids her gaze. He figured the Bar Association would report the outcome of their meetings, that Mike had fooled Harvey and all of Pearson Hardman into thinking he was qualified when he wasn't, that Harvey had testified that he had no idea Mike was a fraud. The lie had tasted so bitter on his tongue, and he never imagined lying under oath in this way. He could stomach perjuring himself to protect Mike, but lying to denounce him made his skin crawl. -

Summary
It's like a moment frozen in time, the three of them standing there in a shocked stupor, unable to move or speak. And then, without a word, Harvey closes the door as he walks away.

Summary
He would be lying if he said he wasn't tempted. Because he has known Mike for a grand total of twenty minutes and already knows that Mike would work hard, could excel if given the chance. And more than that, he likes this kid, his bravado and cheek, the way he can give back as good as he gets. And Harvey only expected to find someone he could tolerate; he never anticipated finding someone he actually liked.
But he can't do it. There are bigger things at play here. He would be betraying Jessica - she’s done so much for him, more than he could ever enumerate, and hiring someone with no degree is not a fine way to repay her. So as much as he wants to go back, to say, "You're hired, you start on Monday," he can't. He won't. Instead he says, "The coast is clear." [AU in which Harvey doesn't hire Mike in the pilot episode.] -

Summary
He wasted so much time waiting to hear the words from Harvey. It was months, years, so much wasted time. And it took him longer than it probably should have to realize that while he was waiting for Harvey to admit that he felt this too, this connection between the two of them, strong and unyielding and overwhelming, that Harvey had already told him. He had said it in every touch, every look, Mike was just too blind to notice.

Summary
Despite how long they have known each other (over a year), despite how well they know each other (better than anyone), Mike can't remember the last time he and Harvey were genuinely alone. And because Harvey is the most important person in his life, his best friend really, Mike wants to know that what they have is real, that they can still be them when no one is watching. And he has this theory, barely constructed and ethereal at best, that maybe if they did spend some time alone together, that they would discover the true bounds of their relationship...

Summary
Mike rushes out of the building as quickly as his legs will carry him. But even in the bright city street it still feels too warm, too stuffy, and he can’t breathe.

Summary
When Mike realized the calibre of his mistake, experienced that awful moment of clarity when he realized what he had done, he went to Harvey. Because he learnt not only from his mistakes but the mistakes of others, and he trusted Harvey, more than anyone he had ever met, and if there was a way out of this then Harvey would find it. Only he didn't. He tried, Mike knows that he did, but there was no way back, only the inevitable way forward. And when Jessica told him that he was fired he didn't fight or yell or display any other overt emotion. He was eerily calm, because Mike had seen this coming, not just when he realized the gravity of his error, but years before.

Summary
"Are you mad at me or something?"
"Yes," Harvey replied. His immediate and honest answer seemed to throw Mike, like he had been hoping his accusations were false, a misinterpretation of events. But they weren't. He was fucking pissed at Mike.[Tag to ep 2x07 - Sucker Punch]

Summary
In Harvey's home office there is a desk, solid dark mahogany and pristine, the kind of piece bought not to be used but admired. The top drawer has a brass keyhole and is constantly locked. There are no valuables in the traditional sense hidden there, no stockpiles of cash or diamond studded watches or gold bullions. But the contents of this drawer are all the things Harvey treasures, those keepsakes that tell the story of who he is and how he got to be that way, memories of his past and reminders for his future. No one has seen its contents except Mike. That was the last time he added something (the vows from their wedding day, but more on that later) and Mike asked Harvey to tell him the stories behind every item in the drawer...

Summary
"What would you do if someone found out our secret?"
Harvey knows he should stop being surprised by Mike bringing this up at random intervals but he never is. Because they have gotten away with this for over two years and it's something he barely thinks about anymore, at least not until Mike inevitably brings it up again. But then he remembers: oh yeah, Mike actually isn't a qualified lawyer and I could get fired and disbarred and hung, drawn and quartered for what I've done[or: When Rachel finds out the truth about Mike’s past Harvey is confronted with a reality he has never prepared for: the possibility that he could lose Mike.]

Summary
When this thing between them started they had very clear rules and definitions. It wasn’t to be spoken of to anyone. It wasn’t to be brought into the four walls of Pearson Hardman. They weren't in a relationship, didn’t have feelings for each other, just enjoyed the time they spent together and then went their separate ways. And they were both totally fine with that.

Summary
Mike was worried about Harvey, but kept that information to himself. Harvey was a grown man, didn't need and certainly wouldn’t want Mike's concern, so he would stay silent and know that Harvey would speak to him if he wanted to. So he kept everything work related, even when Harvey took the contracts from Mike's grasp and Mike couldn’t help but note the way his hands were shaking slightly.

Summary
There had always been an almost visceral connection between them, a connection based on an unspoken but mutual recognition that there was something in the other that they each needed. But even so, even with everything Mike felt for Harvey he still had never felt anything like this. And the truth was: he had always felt a lot for Harvey. From the second they met it was a never ending rollercoaster of emotions, but never once did he feel anything like desire or lust or want. Although given where he currently finds himself (naked in Harvey's bed and watching the older man sleep beside him) he can't help but question the truth of that statement. Maybe it had always been there, waiting to be discovered, longing to be set free.

Summary
Harvey broke so many rules bringing Mike in as his associate and even more starting a personal relationship with him and after months of living and loving in secret Mike couldn’t take the secrecy anymore, felt like his whole life was a lie, and something had to give and in the end it was them that they let go of. It is their blessing and their curse. This job brought them together but it's also what tore them apart.

Summary
Mike looks up at the building before him. It looks the same, everything looks the same, even though his whole world is different now. His heart is beating hard in his chest and his palms feel warm and sweaty and he wasn't this nervous his first day and it's ridiculous to be this nervous now. But he hasn't set foot in this building in seven months, swore he never would again after the last time he walked out. In a slight daze he enters the building. He stops by security and gets a visitor's pass and when the guard points him in the direction of the elevators Mike says, "Thanks, I know my way."

Summary
When he arrives at the Pearson Hardman building the lights are dimmed and the floor is deserted. His feet carry him to Harvey's office even though he expects it to be empty. Because Harvey probably fled the city via helicopter or teleporter or sheer force of will. But when he approaches the office he can see that Harvey is there. He has moved the couch so that it now faces the floor to ceiling windows and Mike silently sits beside Harvey, joins him in looking down at the chaos engulfing the city below. [Apocalypse AU]
