Prompt: We're two adults fighting over the last box of cherry flavoured candy canes.
This is a complete AU, Raf and Fletch don't know each other. Raf has a little girl named Ella and Fletch has Theo.
Just two idiots meeting for the first time, I could develop this into something further at a later date if people wanted it.

A/N: Just something small that I quickly wrote just now, I'm really unwell today so I didn't think I would upload at all but I didn't want to let you all down!

Raf was in no mood to be at Tesco. It had been a long day, and he was really looking forward to just getting home and collapsing down on the sofa. But he promised Ella that he'd get candy canes on his way home from work.

The Christmas music playing through the speaker was irritating, to say the least. He walked down the aisle where all the Christmas things were displayed. There was one box of candy canes left. As he grabbed the box, he felt another hand. He looked up to see a man holding the same box as him. They made eye contact.

"I'm sorry, I believe these are mine." The man said coolly.

He started to pull the box away from Raf. He tugged it back.

No, they're mine. I grabbed them first." Raf huffed, indignantly.

"Says who?" The other man retorted.

"What kind of a response is that?" Raf said in disbelief with a small shake of his head.

"Look, I don't want to start any trouble. Just give me the box and we'll call it a day." Fletch said with another tug.

"Absolutely not! I promised my daughter that I'd bring her these." Raf yanked right back.

"And I promised my son the same thing." Fletch pulled the box back towards him.

"Well, I was here first, so-" Raf huffed stubbornly, pulling the box towards his chest. He wasn't going to give up without a fight.

"Is there a problem here?" A voice from behind them said. The store manager stood there with his arms crossed and an eyebrow arched to his hairline. "Other customers have complained about the shouting."

Raf protested, "We're not-" Then he realised that he was indeed shouting and he closed his mouth, suddenly embarrassed.

"We're sorry, John." Raf looked at the other man, curiously.

"What? I know the manager."

"OK, Fletch. Just keep it down, okay?" The manager spoke, his voice softer this time.

An idea came to him. "Uh hey John, are there any more boxes of these in the back?"

"I'll check." The manager turned on his heel and started walking away.

Fletcher lets go of the box. "Take it, I'll take whatever John finds."

"Thank you," Raf said quietly. "Have a good night." He went to the self-check out and left the shop, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

Raf saw the man in Tesco again a week later. He literally bumped into him. When they looked at each other, a small smirk came across his face.

Ah, we meet again." He nodded.

"It appears so." A small smile pulled at Raf's lips.

"I'm sorry, I didn't get your name, Mr..."

"Raf. Di Lucca. But you can just call me Raf. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Fletcher." The man smiled. A little boy came running up to him. "And this," He lifted the child up to rest on his hip, "is Theo. Theo, can you say 'hello'?"

"Hi!" The little boy waved with a bright smile. Raf smiled in spite of himself.

"Hello there." He spoke, leaning down so he was face-to-face with the little boy, the smile widening on his face

"Are you the man Daddy met here before?" Theo asked, curiously.

Raf moved so he was standing again and raised an eyebrow at Fletcher. "You were talking about me?"

Fletch held a hand up in defence. "John mentioned the incident last time we were here. I said nothing." He gave a nonchalant shrug of his shoulders.

"Sure." Raf chuckled. His phone vibrated. He looked down. "I have to go pick up my daughter. I'll see you around, Fletcher."

"Of course. It was nice seeing you again, Raf." Fletcher smiled, something warm and soft shining in his eyes. Theo waved happily again.

Raf walked out of the shop, a smile on his face. And a weird bubbling in his stomach.
