Looking down at Mike he shook his head, wishing he could keep the big grin off his face. “You know, sometimes I think you’ll leave me with no choice but to gag you, take you over my knee and spank you with a ruler until you’ve learned,” he said, shaking his head again.
“You shouldn’t have been so taken with her beauty, she was designed to fool simple minded men,” he looked down, watching as Mike swayed into his knee and he pulled away Harvey rubbed his leg back and forth against Mike’s shoulder. “Is that so? Well may the best man win, I wish you luck, kid.”
He burst out laughing when Mike accused him of being Alfred. Honestly, it couldn’t have been less accurate. “You will always be my boy wonder, firmly in my Batman like shadow,” Harvey said, rubbing his hand fondly over the back of his neck again. “I take you in and mold you to be like me, just like Batman did with Robin, but good try, boy.” Harvey said, making a loose fist and pretending to sock Mike in the jaw, knuckles sliding gently over his skin.
Mike told him he didn’t have to go and while he thought he should, that was enough to keep him there. He really didn’t want to go back to the deafening silence of his own room. “Poor Mike, you clearly haven’t learned how comfortable the couch in my office is,” he said raising his eyebrows.
