fandom: MCU (post-IW) ship: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark tags: POV Outsider, Fluff and Humor, Steve Rogers Needs a Hug
Joseph White – or Joe, as everyone knows him – is having a great day. It’s a sunny and pleasant morning, and he had himself a delicious coffee and a piece of pie for breakfast. The sun hits the road ahead of him, making the empty path seem beautiful.
Joe isn’t a huge fan of hitchhikers. As a truck driver, he runs into an awful lot of them, and he’s had his share of bizarre experiences. Still, he’s never been able to drive past someone asking for help on the side of the road. It just feels wrong. So, when he sees the lone guy signing with his thumb, he immediately reduces speed to stop next to him.
The man is a blonde bearded guy in a hoodie and jeans. Dude is pretty big, which makes Joe a little wary. He knows that’s just an assumption, though – Sarah would tell him to not be so paranoid— so he lowers his window anyway.
The first thing he thinks, catching a glimpse of the man’s face, is that he must be a celebrity, an actor or model of some kind. Then it hits him.
“Holy shit,” Joe says. “Shit— Is that— Is that really you?”
It’s a pretty dumb question, and Joe is sure that if he were by any chance mistaken, he’d seem crazy, but the man just gives him a small smile and nods, so, yeah.
