Definitely Milkshakes

Hey All!

So, I previously posted this fic on Tumblr, but decided to put here as well.

The whole idea for this one-shot came from and idea that I had after 1x02, where Lilette and Robbie rehearse lines at Sparky's. I just have this head cannon, that Robbie would most certainly tease Lilted for her whole "It's a Date! Appointment!" blabbering. And I also just think that getting Milkshakes would also really be their thing.

Also, I have a few more ideas for one-shots, so if you're interested- Let me know!

When Lilette saw the notification, she was sliding her phone and script back into the pocket on the front of her apron at the end of her break, and as much as she wanted to open the message and see what her crush had to say- her manager was glaring at her to return to her customers, so she ignored it.

Another hour had passed when Lilette felt her phone vibrate once again.
And then again.
And again.

"What the hell?" She muttered to herself as she grabbed the check to give to her last table.

When she returned behind the register a few moments later, her phone had vibrated a couple more times- causing Lilette to become concerned. After checking that she was out of sight, she snuck a peek at her phone.

None of the notifications were out of the ordinary, her mom was probably checking in, Gwen and Simon probably wanted to run lines, and Robbie had probably realized she was working and sent another message to tell her not to worry about his previous message.

But the fact that they'd all texted her in such a quick pattern, confused Lilette. Because of this, she opened them as soon as she got into her car after her shift. Starting with Simon.

Robbie wants to ask you out.

Why aren't you answering him?

This made Lilette's stomach flip and her heart jump into her throat. In an attempt to calm herself and to further delay the inevitable fact that Simon was wrong and Robbie didn't want to ask her out, Lilette opened Gwen's text next.

Literally, if you don't say yes I will actually hate you.

Oh god, Lilette thought as she then decided to bite the bullet and open Robbie's messages.

Can you talk?

Hey, I just realized you're at work- call me when you finish your shift?

I wanna ask you about something.

OH. MY. GOD. Lilette almost dropped her phone. Maybe Simon was right. Maybe Robbie did actually like her.

But what if she was wrong? Why would Robbie Thorne like her? He was the town hero- Mr. QB1 and her? She wasn't anyone special. It just didn't make sense. Without replying to Robbie, she opened her mom's text.

Why is Robbie Thorne just sitting in his car outside the house?

OH MY GOD! Simon was right! With this in mind, Lilette responded to her mother first:
