Mateo had noticed it when they first met and shook hands. He tried not to pay mind to it, but he couldn't help but notice how rough Eric's hands felt.
He kept this with him for a while. After a few months, they were just walking together, and at one point, Mateo wrapped one of Eric's hands with both of his. He wanted to get a feel for them. There were callouses all over the palms of his hands and his fingertips.
It made sense, Eric's job made it pretty easy sometimes to tear up his hands. Mateo got a feel for how his hand felt before he let go and watched it fall back to his side.
He could see Eric smile a little bit out of the corner of his eye, though he didn't seem to understand Mateo's interest in his hands, and they left it there to continue on their walk.
