Dear author, I like to think that Misha is obsessed with Ilia's tiny hands, he kisses them often and put them on his chest to let Ilia feel his heartbeat, and he's mesmerized watching the way Ilia moves them during his skates routine, so delicate and beautiful 😭
they're both about the same size otherwise, except ilia's maybe a little broader. (ilia's ass is also fatter and misha does joke about it) they can share clothes comfortably, and they're maybe half a shoe size apart. however they don't share skates because they're both so particular about them lmao
their hands is the place they differ. ilia's hands are proportional to his body, but misha's are still bigger and he fucking loves it.
ilia's hands are always pretty and warm and soft, even when he's trying not to be. ilia seems larger than life on the ice, but his hands are always still the same. always warmer, always softer, always smaller.
no one else watching ilia knows how those hands feel, how perfectly they fit in misha's own. how much ilia blushes when they compare hand sizes. how much misha misses those hands when he's across the world.
even when he can't have ilia with him, warmer and softer and feeling smaller, misha can still watch those hands and know.
