Why this must be read: Now this is an AU I haven't seen a lot: a season 2 AU where, in the trial where Harvey gets Donna to testify at the trial after she's been fired, he gets Mike to testify instead. And pretty much like the canon trial, Harvey's feelings for Mike are revealed here.
"I asked you earlier if you had anything to hide. You said no, but I think you do," Louis says. Mike looks down at his lap, hoping Louis isn't going where Mike thinks he is. "You are more loyal to Harvey than any of the associates are to the firm in general. Than Harvey is to the firm. Than Louis Litt is to the firm. So why?"
"That's irrelevant to this trial," Mike says, hoping to keep Louis from continuing. He knows Louis has to go over the top because that's what Tanner would do, but he hopes Louis won't, not about this. Because Mike isn't in the habit of perjuring himself, even in a trial run. And he won't start now, but he does not want to answer what he knows Louis is about to ask.
"Not irrelevant. Because your loyalty to Harvey means you would do anything for him. Correct?"
"Not anything. And yes, I am loyal to Harvey. But no, I wouldn't do this, and even if I would, Harvey wouldn't ask." Mike hopes that's enough to keep Louis from asking anymore, but he doubts it.
"Why are you so loyal? Oh, wait..." Louis pauses and all the blood drains from Mike's face, because he just knows why Louis paused. And no, no, no. "You and Harvey spend more time together than any other associate does with any other partner. Your work practically revolves around him, you do whatever he asks, whenever he asks, even if it's not work-related. So that only leaves me one question: Do you love Harvey Specter?"
