    Summary

    Mike has an intense panic attack at a networking event while he watches Harvey flirt with potential clients. He's just waiting for Harvey to find someone younger and prettier — once he's lost his novelty and boyish charm. Harvey makes sure Mike knows he's cherished in every way possible.

    This is a bit of a Mike character study into his insecurities while Harvey gets real and vulnerable to help him work through them.

    —Harvey kissed the top of his head. “I wouldn’t impulsively commit fraud with just anyone, you know. I saw something extraordinary in you, and you prove me right more and more every day."

    After a beat, Harvey added, "You know I like to say I make my own luck. But god, Mike. I feel lucky every day I get to be with you, to work with you. I need you to believe that.”

    Mike was crying again. It wasn't that he didn’t believe him. But everyone leaves. It would only take one moment for Harvey to decide that he wasn’t worth it anymore—

    Part 5 of my "Our Song(s)" series of one-shots based on Taylor Swift songs. Lyrics are woven throughout, but you don't need to be a fan. This one is based on "Nothing New (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)."
