"I don't know. Maybe you find me distracting?"

Harvey smirked. "While I won't deny I've thought about doing things to you on that couch, I've been perfecting my self control around you for four years now, sweetheart. I think I can handle it."

"Yeah, but this time's a little different."

"Oh? How so?"

"This time you know I'd let you do whatever it is you're thinking about."

"With everyone still here?" Harvey raised an eyebrow. He stood up, out from behind his desk. Smirked, then took another slow step towards Mike like a predator ready to pounce. "I mean, if you'd like that..."

Mike knew it was a game. He knew it, tried to keep eye contact with Harvey as long as he could. It was chicken, after all. Just a game. Harvey wouldn't dare.

But then Harvey took another slow, confident step towards him, just close enough that he could have reached out and touched him, and Mike's eyes shot to the door of their own accord.

"Didn't think so." Harvey let out a dark chuckle and diverted himself behind the couch, heading for his record collection. Every single hair on the back of Mike's neck suddenly felt like a live wire, and he crossed his legs conspicuously and shifted the notepad on his lap.

He nearly jumped out of his skin when Harvey leaned over the couch. The heat of his body loomed over Mike, and his breath was hot and direct in Mike's ear when he spoke. "Besides, you know me. I don't share."

He punctuated the last word by pressing a soft kiss to Mike's temple-lingering just long enough to make sure he felt Mike's shudder. Then went back to his record player and his desk like absolutely nothing had happened.

I'm working on my season 5a/6 Marvey AU today and it took me an embarassing amount of time to realize that Rachel called her Dad first when Mike was arrested (before even telling Harvey) because her first impulse was to find a way to force Mike to turn on Harvey. The worst night of his life and she sics her angry father (who will now hate Mike forever) on him to manipulate him into betraying the one person he might love more than her.

She didn't just think about it for a second like she admits to Mike when they fight, it was her main goal from minute one. She only backs off when Mike freaks out when she vocalizes it. It's like she only realizes in that moment that he may actually leave her if she tries to push the issue.

I get that she resents how close Mike and Harvey are and she feels like Harvey put Mike in this position. But Mike's just as guilty as Harvey is, and she wouldn't have given Mike the time of day if Harvey hadn't brought him in. He's the only reason she has Mike at all, and her first impulse is to throw him under the bus regardless of what Mike wants.

It just makes Rachel's entire character feel icky. Like I know Gibbs tries to get her to make a deal to go against Harvey later in the season but the fact that it's literally her first impulse without Gibbs even making the offer is just... ick.
