Does that mean Trevor is back, guys? OH MY GOD, YESSS!

What if now that Harvey is angry at Mike, Mike starts falling into all his old bad habits? Like hanging out with this guy? Because Mike doesn’t know what to do in a world where Harvey isn’t there to support him. And he just feels so alone more than he has in ages, because suddenly everything’s wrong. Grammy’s gone, Rachel has to hate him after learning the truth about Harvard, Donna — despite her own personal feelings towards him — will always, always be on Harvey’s side, and Jessica will never be in his corner so that she can protect her own, Jenny hasn’t spoken to him in months, Harvey practically hates him, and even sweet, naive Harold is gone. And so in a moment of weakness after what felt like the longest day at the office ever, of being constantly ignored by everyone with case upon case piled on top of his desk until he couldn’t take it anymore and he found himself biking in the other direction instead of heading home until he was standing on Trevor’s front step with his hand still raised. And maybe Trevor isn’t one hundred percent happy to see him, but he’s already too high to really care and invites Mike inside and it’s all that he’s wanted and missed for so long. So he takes a drag of the joint and pretends not to think of the last time he did this with Harvey and leans his head back onto the familiar curve of Trevor’s couch and asks if there’s any leftover pizza in the fridge.

He knows this is a bad idea — a terrible one — but mike just needs to not think for a moment and Trevor has always been able to give him that.

Hi, I’m a writer. My hobbies include not writing.

trembling hands (harvey/mike, 2.12 spoilers)

It’s immediate for Harvey.

One minute he’s getting his ass handed to him by Jessica, guilt gnawing at his innards as he recalls the way he petulantly emptied Louis’ pen cup onto his desk, and the next he’s staring at Mike’s battered face. The puffy skin around his eye is a dark circle of purple and black hues and his nose looks just a tad swollen. There’s a hint of dried blood on his bottom lip, like the cut had split open again after the initial hit from Mike talking and he hadn’t gotten around to wiping it up.
