    Summary

    “So I’m saying, Mike clearly made quite the first impression.

    Heart pounding, Mike risks shifting to a low crouch, rising just enough to see Gregory demonstrate exactly what kind of impression he thinks Mike made.

    Or: Mike overhears a conversation that makes him think about his relationship with Harvey differently.

    Summary

    Harvey didn't want to be profiled in a magazine as one of New York's most eligible bachelors. Nobody even knew Mike had been.

    Summary

    And it’s during this miracle that Harvey happens upon them, bent low over Mike’s motherboard and trying to figure out where that hissing noise is coming from and why it sounds like parseltongue.

    “I don’t know what that is, but I have a feeling you should keep your tongues to yourself on company time. Just an FYI. Footnote: now that you’ve got a new boyfriend does that mean I’m off the hook? Can I stop shaving my legs again?”

    Ben gapes at Harvey like he’s just told him that jQuery is for n00bs.

    Mike pats him in what he hopes is a mollifying manner and shushes Harvey in what he knows isn’t half as scolding a tone as he intends.

    Summary

    Do you know how it feels to walk into your home, the place where you pay for the furniture and the fancy soap and at least half the takeout, and find your boyfriend—yes, boyfriend, we’re saying it now—typing up botanical metaphors about your mental health?

    He compared me to a plant. An actual plant. Not even a cool one. Not like a cactus or a tree that kills things. A houseplant. With leaves that need dusting and vines that creep and god help me, rotating. Like I’m some delicate ficus that needs whispering affirmations and filtered sunlight.

    So yeah.

    I’m retaliating.

    Summary

    Mike had never really pictured himself as the kind of guy who got kept. Kept sounded like something out of an old novel, like he should be lounging around in silk robes while Harvey puffed on cigars and called him "rookie" in that smooth baritone.

    Except, somehow, that was almost exactly what his life had become. Well—minus the cigars. Harvey hated smoke on his suits. But the rest? The expensive apartment, the racks of suits Mike didn’t remember buying, the bottles of cologne that just happened to appear on the dresser like magic? Yeah. He was living in Harvey Specter’s world now, and Harvey seemed determined to fit him into it piece by piece.
    --
    Or, Mike doesn't understand what Harvey gets out of spoiling him—and then he does.
