Hubert likes to remind you that no matter how close you get, you will never mean anything more to him than Edelgard does. 

If Edelgard were a more physical person than she is, Hubert would get a whack on the back of the head. 

You really adore the dark mage. Anyone could see that. Edelgard saw it almost right away. You had a very deep rooted crush on him. Edelgard thinks Hubert knows. Either he knows and is messing with you on purpose or he doesn't know and is blissfully unaware of what exactly he's doing to you. 

Despite all of his harsh quips you still came back to his side. 

Which is the current predicament you were in now. 

Professor Manuela had assigned a partner project for your class to get to know your other class mates better. Hubert immediately was stuck to Edelgards side like glue. The white haired girl, however, was not having it. 

"Why don't you do the project with Y/N? I'm sure they'd like to get to know you better," she was trying to hint at two things. One, she wants you to be with the person you're crushing very heavily on, even if it's under the guise of schoolwork. Two, she wants to do this project with someone else and really doesn't know how to say otherwise. 

"You are my first and only priority," was Huberts quick response. He didn't even need to think about that one. Edelgard groaned and began a different approach. 

"Look, you've been with me all our lives. Wouldn't it be beneficial to the cause if you learned more about your class mates? To see who may be a hinderance or a valuable asset to our cause?" Edelgard would inch away from him slowly, taking small steps away. Hubert would notice and resume his position back at her side. 

"There will be other times to do so. If someone were to hurt you here without my knowledge, I could never forgive myself," another quick response. It almost seems like he has a databank of exactly what to say to shut Edelgard down. The rest of the Black Eagles were watching in amusement, including yourself. All except one. 

"Hubert, she wants to do this project with someone else. Would you stop being latched to her side for five minutes? It's frankly bizarre to watch," who dared to open their mouth to speak their mind? Linhardt who is now subject to a harsh glare from Hubert but a look of total relief and thanks from Edelgard. 

"Hubert, he's right. I would like to get to know my other classmates better. Could you please humor me and allow me to do this project with someone else?" Finally, it seemed, Edelgards pleadings did not fall on deaf ears. 

"If you insist, I shall allow it," Hubert relented after what felt like years of asking. Edelgard untensed her full body, finally relaxing. The other Black Eagles cheered in some form until Hubert glared at all of them, causing their joy to quell, at least externally. You were happy too! You might finally be able to spend some quality time with the man you have a crush on. 

Edelgard moved over to Dorotheas side. 

"Would you mind being my partner for this project? I'd love to hear you sing more," Edelgard blushed a bit shyly as she asked the opera singer who was overjoyed. The brunette clasped Edelgards hands in hers and smiled widely.
