• Hoooooo boiiiiii Gladio’s hands  huh???
• Okay okay where do I start?
• The
  first thing you’d notice is that he has big hands. No surprise really,
  considering Gladio is what, 198cm tall???? Yeah, big hands
• Upon closer inspection you can see that said hands are very dry and scarred.
• The skin on the knuckles are red and patchy and look like a dirt ground that hasn’t seen rain in ages.
• Turning
  his hand around and taking a look on his palm, you can see that the
  skin there has some popped blisters and… well, dead skin flakes.
• Really,
  Gladio’s hands are very scarred and dry and that’s mostly because of
  all the training and swingin around his broadsword back and forth
• Despite Iris persistency and always gifting him a pot of handcream for his birthday every single year, he never uses them.
• Probably
  a very old bad habit from his teens, where back then Gladio though
  using hand cream was a girly thing and real men have scarred hands.
• So yeah, hand cream and Gladio is simply a relationship that will never really happen
• Hm
• Probably bites his nails
• When no one is looking
• Oh
  oh his hands are always warm. Good for winter days because Big Guy does
  not wear gloves in winter and yet they are always warm. Use him to warm
  yours, he doesn’t mind really.
• In comparison, you take great care of your hands, always using hand cream, cutting your finger nails regularly etc. etc.
• Gladio loves your hands
• Very much
• He loves how tiny they look in his
• He loves how he can hold both of your hands in only one of his
• And how soft they feel against his rough skin
• Makes him regret not taking care of his hands but he will never admit that
• Absolutely a big fan of holding your hands
• Intertwined
• He will absent mindedly rub his thumb on your soft hand
• Gladio also loves it when you wrap your finger around his pinky only
• Just…. How can your hands be so tiny????????
• Oh yeah his mind totally imagines something else wrapped around your finger
• ANYWAY
• Is a sucky for pinky promises
• Loves loves loves hooking his pinky with yours..
• It’s a childish gesture, but how can he not do it when you have such tiny cute hands?????
• On
  lazy days he likes to lounge on the couch with a good book and you
  resting against his chest. He’d then be reading and reach out for your
  hands, just playing with your finger, especially during plot twist
  parts.
• In summer during nights where it’s just too warm ((and
  let’s face it, Gladio is a living human furnace bless and curse him)),
  you’d simply not want to cuddle up to him, but still be touching him
  somehow
• So you two fall asleep holding hands
• Sometimes when you tell Gladio to slap some hand cream on, he’d reply that you should do it for him
• In
  which case just squeeze out half of the tube on his palm and ruuuun
  your hands all over his, applying the cream evenly over the surface
• Hm what else
• Oh yeah, Gladio can definitely swat your face away
• He also loves gently cupping your face with into his two hands, and then squish your cheeks
• Because soft cheeks
• Gladio absolutely loves squishing the other two cheeks, if ya know what I mean.
• And boobs. He loves squeezing your boobs I guess.
• So yeah, in addition to having big rough hands, like Gladio himself, his hands likes to travel and explore a lot
• Mostly you
• You all the time.
• Gladio
  swears that sometimes his hands have a will on their own, which would
  explain why sometimes when you guys go up the escalator one of his hand
  is suddenly resting on your butt cheek.
• The best at giving massages
• Also pretty skilled at painting your finger nails
• Idk I just imagined him doing that for Iris because one is always struggling painting the other hand
• Ugh honestly, Gladio is has a hard shell but he is such a big softy for you on the inside.
• Oh
  yeah last thing, you should totally place your hands on his eight pack
  and slowly trail your finger down his shaved happy trail
• Okay bye szynka out
