Pre-Harvey/Mike, Mike's parents

[anonymous]

When Jessica lets slip that she knows how Mike's parents died, Harvey's shocked to find it actually hurts him that Mike told someone else instead of him. But then he'd never actually asked or shown an interest. I'd just like some Harvey introspection and then maybe him allowing himself to be openly curious and ask Mike about things about his childhood? I don't know, I just saw Jessica's reaction to the car crash story and wondered how Harvey would feel about Jessica knowing while he doesn't.

Instead he leans his head back, closing his eyes and focusing on the rise and fall of his own chest. But that only reminds him of Mike’s parents and how they took their last breath without even knowing it, and suddenly all Harvey can think of is Mike - Mike who must have felt so lost at such a young age. Who allowed himself to let the words, “he’s my oldest friend” mean more than they should have. Who could still smile so brilliantly when Harvey was looking his way. Who couldn’t find it himself to confide in Harvey about the two people he’d loved and lost - but had told Jessica instead, as she calculated his every word and prepared to squash him beneath her six-inch heels

Mike's parents died when he was 11 not 10. LRN2 pay attention.

Thanks for your comment!

However, I can pay attention, and I did know that Mike's parents died when he was eleven. This story, however, is told from Harvey's POV and Harvey was not at the dinner where Mike revealed his parents death. Harvey is an unreliable narrator for Mike's childhood story -- he doesn't know if MIke's parents were coming home to tuck him into bed. He doesn't know if Mike's parents had a funeral or if they were cremated or if his Grandmother even thought it was appropriate for him to attend the funeral and watch his parents be put in the ground or if he wore an ill-fitting black suit at all.

It's about Harvey and his learning that Mike lost his parents when he was young and his problem with Jessica knowing first. NOT Harvey knowing all the details and thinking clearly about Mike's loss.

But again -- thanks for the comment. Glad you took the time to read my story.

Great fill!! I loved it and all the feels it brought. Oh the feels :____:

Also, I applaud thee for your response to what I found was a rather rudely worded comment! *Stands up and applauds anon* I would probably not have responded in kind :)

I stand and applaud with you. That anon's comment was extremely rude and inappropriate.
