Dedication To My Love
When Mike gets accepted into Colgate University, he's ecstatic. He's even happier when he finds out it's on a full ride. Most of the places he's applied to accepted him on scholarships of some sort but this is the school that he really wants to go to. It allows him to be closer to his Grammy without having to pay the steep tuition as long as he can keep his grades up. And he's always been good at that. It's just a bonus that Trevor also got accepted.
Soon after school starts, he finds a job at a nice little diner. It's a family business and it's a little slow because of lack of staff but it has really delicious food. It's practically a school secret and helps pay Grammy's bills while providing free food. Since it's not always busy– it's mostly popular during dinnertime– it also gives him time to study.
So Mike has a sweet deal going. He's getting good marks in school, he's got a job, and he's staying on top of Grammy's payments. Trevor's… not doing so well, but Mike's been helping him out so he knows that eventually the two of them they'll work it out. Trevor's recently been doing stupid shit like selling weed but Mike figures that it's just a phase and he's not about to abandon his friend when he chose to come here and go to school with him even though they're the only ones going from their high school. They don't even have Jenny.
A year later things are pretty much the same. He's studying at the diner, books spread out next to the cash register when The Man In The Suit walks in. He doesn't notice him at first, so engrossed in the book he's reading, until the man clears his throat. Mike looks up and it takes everything he has to make sure he keeps his mouth closed and doesn't start gawping. He is hot. He has dark brown hair and eyes, and the body of a Greek God– probably Adonis. The Man In The Suit is stunning.
Mike is unabashedly bi and has come into his own since he started university. He's not nearly as awkward as he used to be. And he isn't usually impressed by looks alone but there's something different about this man. He just has that self-assured aura around him like he has everything under control and he knows you know it. Like no one would dare to rain on his parade because he's just that good.
The man raises an eyebrow and Mike blinks, feeling the flush spread up his neck all the way to his ears.
"Um, what?"
The Man In The Suit looks at him like he's retarded.
"I said," he repeats, and God, even his voice is smooth, "That I would like an Avocado and Chicken Salad with a Margherita Pizza."
"Oh," Mike fumbles with the cash register, imputing everything in, "That'll be $22.30. I'm really sorry, I'm not usually like this."
Brown Eyes' eyebrow rises again, "I'm sure."
If Mike wasn't already blushing he's sure he would be again. "Look," he snaps, "It's not my fault you're stupidly attractive."
The man smirks and hands him twenty-five. "That's not my fault either. Keep the change."
When Mike's shift is over and he gets home that night, he finds Trevor lazing on his couch. Mike goes to the fridge and pulls out two cokes before throwing one to Trevor and collapsing on the couch beside him.
"I met the most arrogant guy at the diner today."
"Yeah?" Trevor shifts to get a better look at him, "It's what sucks about customer service. Do I need to find him and beat him up?"
Mike snorts back laughter at that picture. Trevor going after The Man In The Suit even though he has no idea what he looks like. He has a feeling that Trevor won't be the victor of that fight.
Mike shakes his head, "No. I…liked him. I think."
"This guy was an arrogant asshole and you liked him?"
"He wasn't that much of an asshole. And he obviously has taste if he was at the diner in the first place."
Trevor shoots him a weird look and downs the last of his coke, "Whatever, bro. You wanna help me with some of my homework?"
Mike rolls his eyes, "Why is it that I help you with homework and have to feed you? Something about this picture doesn't balance out. Shouldn't you at least be providing me with food?"
Trevor shrugs, "It's not my fault that you're picky, man."
"I'm not picky, you just eat everything."
"Whatever, dude, same thing."
A/N:
Basically, I'm filling this prompt on the Suits kink meme: I've got a huge kink for age difference where Mike is really young, like under 20...among other kinks:-P I'd love to see Harvey and Mike, married...they met when Mike was 18 and Harvey was still a young lawyer establishing himself and not looking for a any kind of a relationship and certainly not a serious one, then...bam!-he meets Mike, falls helplessly in love, they get married (you decide why and how) and they stay happily married. just, I wanna see them without the usual tribulations of young love; yeah, they're young and Mike is an orphan and Harvey is not the rich hotshot laywer yet but they're together and they make it... I can't remember where I found this and I don't know if it was already filled but I just couldn't resist. If I find the link I'll put it up. This probably won't get regular updates as I tinker with it when I have time- or am procrastinating– but I've already completed a few of the chapters and I don't think it will be a particularly long fic, so there's the silver lining. All reviews will be loved.
