thesightlesssniper:arabspn:“One last time?” “One last time.”Canon-divergent drabble that wouldn’t leave me alone:‘…It’s never going to be just one last time, is it?’Harvey’s eyes flicked to Donna, watching as she leaned against the glass door, hip cocked and eyebrows raised. Mike hadn’t even been out of the room ten seconds.He turned to his phone. ‘I really don’t know what you’re talking about.’A small, sad smile pulled at her lip. ‘Harvey.’‘One last case, Donna. It’s not what you’re suggesting.’‘No, it’s not. But I know you wish that it was. And what you’re wishing it was? It definitely wouldn’t be the last time. You two have a habit of snapping back together no matter who pulls you apart.’ She stepped up to the desk, sitting in the chair that had previously held Mike, and leaned across the desk to gather one of Harvey’s hands in her own before pressing a soft kiss to the back of his knuckles. ‘You never told him, did you? That night before he went to Danbury…you never told him.’Finally he looked back up at her. ‘I couldn’t. First, it was Hardman. Then it was Rachel. Then it was timing, and Rachel. Then he made me his best man, and he went to prison…and then Rachel became my friend too. And if by some chance he-’ Harvey cut himself off and shook his head, ‘I couldn’t do that to her.’Donna kissed the back of his hand again, standing to leave. She was silent, until she reached the door, when she turned, that sad smile back again. ‘She might be angry at you. But I know that she’d forgive you if you told him. It might take time, but she’d forgive you.’‘Donna-’‘Tell him what you should have told him. And if it all goes to shit, I’ll be waiting with Chinese food, Star Trek blu-rays, and a bottle of the finest scotch you’ve ever tasted.’She left the room, but not before seeing a glimpse of a smile appear on his face.(because my brain refuses to stop shipping these two so hard, and I really want Donna and Harvey to be real friends again) -- source link
