I am a Sucker for cute AU’s like this bless u ;-;
- The first few times your in the shop, he doesn’t really comment much on what you buy
- He was too shy and tbh he was nervous that if he did say something he’d say something wrong and you might not wanna come back
- He notices though that you guys have pretty similar tastes, and in the back of his mind he starts to sort of. Pick out recommendations that he thinks you might like, but never actually tells them to you
- One day you come in when the shop is dead, just Keith working and Lance hanging around the store while on break from his own job
- Lance essentially goads the poor guy into saying something to you
- He kind of blanks though when he actually ends up face to face with you
- He’s flustered and doesn’t know what to say so he just sort of points at one of the records that he thinks you’d like
- “I, um. I don’t know if you know them, but I think you might… like that album?”
- He’s terrified and it is obvious
- Lance makes his exit sometime during this interaction and Keith is pretty sure he’s never gonna hear the end of this
- You end up really liking what he picked out though, and you ask for some more recommendations
- He nearly dies on the spot because he wasn’t ever actually planning on talking to you like this
- but he does and he realizes that not only do you have A+ taste, you’re also very charming
- As time goes on he talks more and more with you when you come in, to the point where he gets kind of bummed out if you haven’t been in in a while
- One time when you come in after not having come by in a few weeks, he impulsively asks for your number
- When he realizes what he’s done he freezes and his face is completely red and wowie is he nervous right now what if he’s screwed it all up and—
- Then you laugh and pull out your phone and say you’ve been wanting to ask for his
- You’ve never seen him look so happy and you decide to make it a point to come by more often
- Keith has no problems with that, of course
