History HoYay / Suits

* Harvey and Louis have a rivalry and although it's not exactly [[FoeYay Foe Yay]], they have fought over Mike on occasion.
** No need for [[FoeYay Foe Yay]] there when Harvey has Travis Tanner...

* Rachel arguing with Mike about the reason of why he decided to stay at Pearson Spectre instead of [[spoiler: taking a job as an investment banker]] was particularly striking. It was a clear example of who's opinion Mike prioritizes:

'''Harvey:''' It's not a date... He's never gonna put out.

** The pilot alone is chalk full of moments, from Harvey saying "Super hot" when asked how his new associate is doing, to threatening to kick Louis' ass if ever he tries to fire Mike again.

* Where to begin? The show's entire premise centers around building trust between the relationship of a guy (who has a [[PhotographicMemory Photographic Memory]]) and his ''boss'', who knows his [[DeepDarkSecret deep, dark secret]]. The [[HoYay Ho Yay]] pretty much writes itself.
** In the very first episode, Harvey decides to risk his job in order to give a chance at another life to a guy he'd just met. It's mostly because of Mike's [[GeniusBonus Genius Bonus]], but still.

-->'''Mike''': You know you want it.

-->'''Harvey''': Go easy on him.
-->'''Mike''': Nope.
-->'''Harvey''': ''Good boy.''

-->'''Louis''': ''(about Mike)'' What can I do to him?
-->'''Harvey''': What do you wanna do to him?
-->'''Louis''': Things...
** Mike knows that Louis' parts are tingling.
*** And Harvey didn't wanna know that or know how Mike knew that.

-->'''Harvey''': ''(after Louis and Mike work on a case together)'' You guys thinking about moving in together?
-->'''Mike''': Jealous?
*** Way back in 1x02, Harvey and Louis had a similar exchange when Louis forced Mike to work on a case for him. Harvey is ''really'' transparent...

-->'''Donna''': I'm Donna, I know everything.
-->'''Rachel''': Everything?

* '''Harvey''': ''(to Jessica during a party)'' Don't mind me, my date just got here. ''(The camera cuts to Mike.)''

** '''Harvey''': ''(bitterly, to Mike about Rachel)'' Congratulations. I hope you two are happy together.

-->'''Louis''': I need the 411 on the break-up.
-->'''Donna''': Are we in high school?
-->'''Louis''': Life is high school. And I need to know if the prom king and his boy wonder are still an item.
-->'''Donna''': What high school did you go to?
-->'''Louis''': Donna, it's a simple question. Did Mike and Harvey break up ''break up''? Or did they take a time out, and like say to each other, "hey, let's see other people to make sure that we're sure?"
** The whole episode's plot deliberately parallels love triangle movies with Louis and Harvey fighting over Mike. Louis asks for Harvey's "blessing" just to be able to date, err-- take Mike as an associate, like a friend asking if he can date a friend's ex. He even specifies that Harvey can't swoop in, object and take Mike away when Mike eventually will say yes. Harvey brushes it off at first, which destroys Mike, who allows himself to be wooed by Louis. He starts enjoying actually spending time with Louis and says yes to being his associate... And then Harvey decides then and there to walk in and protest, asking Mike not to go through with it. The final scene deliberately echoes cheesy climaxes wherein the main character shows up at their true love's wedding. ''Especially the dialogue'':
-->'''Harvey''': ''(appears in the doorway behind Mike)'' I can't let you do this.
-->'''Mike''': ''Let'' me?
-->'''Harvey''': Don't do this.
-->'''Mike''': ''(sadly)'' I already said yes. I can't go back on my word.
-->'''Harvey''': You're not going back on your word... You're going back where you belong.

-->'''Rachel''': I get to ask half the questions.
-->'''Mike''': ''(laughs)'' Oh no, Harvey doesn't let Mike ask half the questions.
-->'''Rachel''': Fine. One-third.
-->'''Mike''': Harvey doesn't ''negotiate'' with Mike!
-->'''Rachel''': Mike doesn't ''have sex'' with Harvey!
-->'''Mike''': ''(speechless)''

-->'''Harvey''': I'm taking Mike to the marathon footwear brunch.
-->'''Scottie''': You're taking a date to an IPO event? That's so cute.
-->'''Harvey''': It's not a date... He's never gonna put out.

-->'''Mike''': Harvey doesn't ''negotiate'' with Mike.
-->'''Rachel''': Mike doesn't ''have sex'' with Harvey.
-->'''Mike''': ''(speechless)''

* In a season 2 episode, Rachel and Mike talk about how [[MakesSenseInContext Mike is the Harvey to her Mike]]
-->'''Mike''': Harvey doesn't negotiate with Mike.
-->'''Rachel''': Mike doesn't have sex with Harvey.

* Seasons 3 and 4 take the HoYay between Harvey and Mike even further.

-->'''Harvey''': You're not going back on your word... You're going back where you belong.

-->'''Louis''': Donna, it's a simple question. Did Mike and Harvey break up ''break up''? Or did they take a time out, and like say to each other, "hey, let's see other people to make sure that we're sure?"

*** '''Louis''': I need the 411 on the break-up.
*** '''Donna''': Are we in high school?
*** '''Louis''': Life is high school. And I need to know if the prom king and his boy wonder are still an item.
*** '''Donna''': What high school did you go to?
*** '''Louis''': Donna, it's a simple question. Did Mike and Harvey break up ''break up''? Or did they take a time out, and like say to each other, "hey, let's see other people to make sure that we're sure?"

* The phrase "Do you trust me?" pops up in conversations between Harvey and Mike every couple of episodes.

** More specifically, he says he's lost "everyone I love".

* In the season 2 finale, when Jessica blackmails Mike into betraying Harvey. Poor guy just looks so heartbroken through the whole thing. Particularly when Harvey finds out about it. He also lists Harvey among the people and things he's lost when Rachel confronts him about not signing a letter she intended to send to Harvard challenging her rejection.

* In 2x10, Harvey is at the lowest he's ever been on the show: [[spoiler: Jessica lost her position as managing partner and Hardman successfully took over the firm, Harvey was reassigned to a lower office and has to deal with menial, tedious assignments by a vindictive Louis, and top it all off Louis forbids Mike from helping Harvey with any of his cases.]] How does he deal with it? He goes over to Mike's place to get stoned and [[spoiler: comfort Mike about the loss of grandmother]], sharing a good deal about his personal life in the process!

* In 1x03, Mike gets Harvey to fist-bump him. And right before Harvey relents, he smiles very briefly. No one else gets that kind of look from Harvey Spekter.

-->'''Rachel''': Everything?

* The reason Harvey [[spoiler: votes to settle]] in 2x07 is pretty clearly stated to be because Mike told him to.

* In 2x05 Mike [[spoiler: goes and tells Harvey about Donna,]] because he hero-worships the guy enough to believe he can fix it, even after [[spoiler: finding out that Donna destroyed evidence.]]
