Keith woke up at six the next day feeling absolutely exhausted since he didn't manage to fall asleep until it was four in the morning and birds were starting to sing outside of his window. He wondered if he should go clubbing with Lance considering he had to work the next day, but it hit him. Keith was a twenty two years old man who had just gotten his first phone notice at work, never missed a single day, worked way more than he actually had to. He was definitely going to go clubbing with Lance fucking McClain and his friends that one night.
He got up and got ready to work as fast as he could, skipping breakfast to pack his lunch properly; he could always eat something from the café and get away with it, right? He probably wouldn't, he was probably going to buy something from the café to eat if he was hungry when he got there, but he could and that was all that mattered really.
The day went by pretty smoothly, but everything was getting on his nerves. For the first time in all of the years Keith had known Kolivan, he had been approached during lunch time and kindly asked to go back home and get some rest. He tried fighting Kolivan, but his boss said it wasn't a request and Keith knew better than to argue.
Shiro wasn't home and Keith would've worried and texted Shiro to check up on him if he wasn't so tired. He didn't have the physical strength to do that, so he just lied down on his bed and fell asleep again almost immediately. Keith woke up at six pm, five hours later because Shiro was desperately telling him he had missed work. He opened his eyes, shushing Shiro.
"No I haven't. I went, Kolivan sent me back because I couldn't keep my eyes open." He admitted and looked at Shiro, shrugging. "And if Kolivan tells you to do something you don't fight him on it."
"You scared the shit out of me." Shiro said and sighed. "I don't think you've ever missed a day of work or called in sick ever since you started at the café." Keith smiled and gave Shiro a thumbs up, proud of himself. "So yesterday, huh? You played the piano."
"I played the piano." Keith repeated Shiro's words. "And it was really fun." He admitted.
"Does mystery guy play the piano too?" Shiro asked and Keith sighed. "Okay, no questions, got it. I just don't get why you can't tell me about him, that's all."
"Shiro." Keith said and Shiro nodded. "I'm seeing him again tonight. We'll go clubbing."
"You? Clubbing?" Shiro laughed loudly. "Now that's new. This guy is good. Whoever he is, he is good."
"Or maybe I'm just stupid." Keith admitted, hating it. Shiro didn't question him, just patted him on the head and left him alone with his thoughts.
Keith unlocked his phone and checked out all of his unread texts. He decided it would be smart to answer Pidge first since he had left them hanging.

Keith: Hey, Pidge, sorry I didn't answer before. Today was rough. I get it, you're protecting your friends and I'm happy to be one of them. I'm sorry you were pulled into this, but maybe you're reading too much into the whole situation. If anyone's going to get hurt it is me and I'd still like you not to tell Shiro about it, please.
Keith: If I get hurt it'll be my own goddamned fault.
Pidgeon: u r one dumb bitch for someone who's actually smarter than the average human u know that? i hope u do
