#all i need to get steddie thoughts is a garbage truck passing by with a garbage man who genuinely looked like he was having a blast

Having Thoughts about garbage man eddie: bc he looks mean and scary a lot of people assume he has to do community service so he gets a lot of dirty looks, but Eddie genuinely loves the work. He gets to be outside and active all day, standing on the back of the truck is a great vibe, driving the truck is also pretty fun, and there’s something insanely satisfying about cleaning up big amounts of trash.

Every other week, he’ll see this one guy run outside in a panic with a bunch of trashbags in hand when the truck pulls up to his house; apparently the dude’s housemate keeps forgetting to take out the trash whenever it’s her turn. He never looks at Eddie with disdain but thanks him for waiting with a sheepish smile on his face and politely apologizes for delaying him.

Sometimes, when Eddie is making his rounds through that particular neighborhood, he’ll see the guy on his morning run, all sweaty and wearing ridiculously short shorts. And one time when that happens, he gets so distracted that he loses his grip and tumbles off the truck and faceplants right on the street. When he lifts his head to look right into the worried face of the cause of this situation, the sun illuminating his golden locks in a way that can’t possibly be real, he thinks he must have died and gone straight to heaven. He tries to ignore his colleagues cackling loudly behind him, and instead focuses on the hand that’s brushing his hair out of his face to check if he’s alright, brushing warm and soft against his skin.
