Work Text:
Rachel came back from work feeling giddy with excitement.
"Oh my gosh, you're not gonna believe this!" she exclaimed.
Keith was on his laptop and didn't notice Rachel standing there. "Mmm..." he muttered.
"Phil Griffin was so impressed with my show tonight that he's decided to give me a promotion!" she squealed with excitement.
Keith just typed on his laptop without saying a single word to Rachel. It was like he wasn't hearing what she was saying.
Rachel continued, "I am SO excited about this promotion! I worked hard to get it, and it can help expand our viewership."
Keith muttered, "Yeah...great... congratulations or whatever," as he kept his eyes glued to his laptop screen.
" And to celebrate, my staff and I are going out to eat, and I want you to come with us!" Rachel beamed excitedly.
Keith muttered, "That's great, Rach," as he continued typing and clicking. "Ok, go get dressed! I'll see you in a few minutes!" said Rachel as she rushed into her room to get ready.
Keith continued staring at his laptop and didn't get up to get dressed. When Rachel came out of her room, he was still on his laptop and didn't bother to look up at her.
Rachel was wearing a fancy business suit with her blue glasses. Her perfume was filling up the entire room, and Keith didn't even bother to notice.
Rachel noticed that Keith hadn't gotten dressed and that he hadn't looked up from his laptop or heard what she was talking about.
"Keith! Why aren't you dressed?" Rachel asked. There was no answer. "Keith! Are you even listening to me?!" There was still no answer as Keith didn't look up.
"Hello?? Keith?? Can you hear me?? Earth to Keith?" she made hand motions at Keith, who still didn't look up at her.
Rachel was starting to get a little frustrated. "Keith!" she called. "I'm up here!" Keith just made an uninterested "mm" sound.
Rachel stomped up to Keith and then snatched his laptop from his lap. "KEITH! WHY AREN'T YOU LISTENING TO ME?!" she yelled.
Keith looked flabbergasted. "Oh, hi Rachel," he began nervously. "Where are you going, all spiffy?"
Rachel groaned, threw the laptop back at Keith, and marched out of the house furiously and slammed the front door, leaving Keith confused at what he had just seen.
