100+ Ways To Get Rid Of A Hiccup

Suits 100, Prompt 93: Character A has a hiccup that won’t go away.

Mike tries everything to get rid of his hiccup while Harvey watches him amused and tries to support him. He might have an idea to save the day...

I rated this mature but maybe it’s rather teen and up, I couldn’t quite decide...

Thanks to @lawsonpines13 for the beta!

“PINEAPPLE. –hic–“

“Mike?”

Oh God, he couldn’t stop looking at the kid.

“PINE-AP-PLE. –hic–”

Even though he should know better.

Even though they both should.

Mike was his young associate and occasionally still reacted like a teenager but even though Harvey liked his women experienced and feisty, there was something about that puppy behavior that made him throw all principles overboard.

Unfortunately, Mike did the same and every now and again they would end up drunk enough to have an excuse and make out feverishly as if there was no tomorrow.

But there was. And tomorrow meant Harvey was the boss and Mike his subordinate. And those types of things were bound to go wrong. That’s why it never went further than kissing. A tiny voice in the back of their heads seemed to prevent them from making an even bigger mistake. Every morning after, however, they danced around each other in a weird, slightly uncomfortable way because who were they kidding? They both wanted more. And every new day, they failed a little more to hide it.

“PINE.AP.PLE. –hic–”

“Excuse me?”

Harvey still stared at Mike, realizing once again he was in way too deep. The kid had managed to worm himself into his heart, his entire life and if he was honest, Harvey should have seen it coming. Everything from that goddamn first encounter had led straight to this point. Every little detail had made him fall harder for him and the fact that he had been struggling to get rid of that stupid and annoying but at the same time incredibly endearing hiccup for the past few days now almost made Harvey grab the man by the arm and into the next bathroom to finally claim him, despite all the cons he had compiled on his mental list.

“What on earth are you doing?” Harvey finally asked and shook his head in amusement.

Unresolved Issues

Prompt 37 for Suits 100:

Set in season 5: when Harvey hits Tanner, his old shoulder injury flares up again. Although worried, Mike is also pretty pissed off by Harvey’s lack of control

• (Main) Pairing / Character Focus: Harvey/Mike

Thanks to @lawsonpines13 for being a great beta again - I changed quite a bunch of stuff afterwards, I hope it’s still alright. This fic was a little naughty and didn’t behave the way it was supposed to...

Unresolved Issues

"Did Harvey get tired of banging you? - Or was he such a lousy lay that you left him for the guy down the road just like Harvey's mom did to dear old Dad?" Travis Tanner sneered in Harvey’s direction, knowing exactly, which buttons to push to make him explode. And Harvey did. Of course he did. It was no secret that he had a short temper and no patience and that he wouldn’t let anyone bully him. Stepping back from a fight just wasn’t the Harvey Specter way.

Mike watched the scene in front of him unfold, his patience running thin. By now, he had witnessed way too many situations like this. A significant number involved a certain Travis Tanner, he noted gloomily. Therefore, when Harvey jumped at his opponent’s throat, Mike was far from surprised but incredibly pissed. Sometimes, Harvey just needed to be saved from himself. Tanner played his emotions like a fiddle — he always had. Harvey knew that. Mike knew that. Hell, everybody knew that! Why couldn’t his idiot of a friend just walk away before things escalated? Just this once!

Mike grabbed Harvey by the shoulders and pushed him back, “Harvey! Harvey! Stop!”, held him in his place even though Harvey struggled against his grip, turned around and shouted at the grinning asshole right in front of him, “Tanner, get out of here now! Go!”

Goddamnit, Mike had known that this would happen. The moment Harvey had come into his office and offered him the Tanner case — “Just like old times” — he had had a feeling that things would go south very quickly. With Travis, they always did. Something about that man just got under Harvey’s skin. Every. Fucking. Time. Mike had never seen any other person who could anger Harvey the way Tanner did and if he was honest with himself, he hated it for more than one reason. Harvey’s passionate quarrels with that man made Mike furious. Anxious. Jealous. Yeah, he was jealous — no matter how ridiculous that was.
