*whispering* would u write Harvey beaten up by some opponent in court for some reason and Mike worrying about him when he sees him bleeding and stuff? Please?
Here it is! It took some time, but here it is. Set before the season 1 finale, because Jessica doesn’t know about their secret yet. Thank you very much for the request (you gave me an excuse to write more Harvey whump :P), enjoy!
“What the hell happened to you?!”
Mike heard him when he said to ‘calm down’, but how exactly was he supposed to not react like that when Harvey was leaning on his door, beaten and bloody like a twelve-year-old who had just been picked on by the bullies of the school?
“Someone doesn’t want me in court tomorrow.” Harvey shrugged. Or attempted to shrug, because as soon as he tried to move his right arm his face twisted in pain and his left hand quickly grabbed the sore arm, as if it could have helped.
Mike moved to let him in and, shit, Harvey was limping and his split lip looked even more split now that he was looking at it more closely and- fuck, was that blood in the back of Harvey’s head?
“You need to sit down.” Mike mumbled, even if he was pretty sure that he would have needed to sit as well. Jesus, Harvey looked awful.
Mike gripped Harvey’s left arm to help him towards the couch. Predictably, Harvey wasn’t pleased by the gesture, as proven by the glare he shot at him, but he didn’t make any actual attempt to get free, which spoke volumes about how hurt he was and how much he needed that help.
“Alright, we’re going to the hospital.” Mike stated. Because someone needed to keep things under control, and it wouldn’t have been fair to expect Harvey to do it.
“I’m fine. I just need a First Aid kit.” Harvey protested.
Mike tried to count to ten before answering, like Grammy had taught him. He lost it at three.
“Your head is bleeding!” He screamed. “Your- everything is bleeding! So we either call a cab and go to the hospital, or I call an ambulance and they take you to the fucking hospital.”
