“I love you and I love it.”

Hubert could feel his face start turning red. No matter how many times he heard Petra say it, he would find himself blushing every time, much to his wife’s delight.

“You do realize you have no need to say it so often? I love you as well,” Hubert muttered, trying to ignore how his face burned. Petra just laughed; idly, Hubert took in how her hair, normally kept in an elaborate ponytail, now laid messily around her as she laid down, looking at him. He found that he still found it just as beautiful - though, he may be a bit biased.

“I know,” Petra said, a smile on her face. “I like making sure you know it.”Ah, and there goes any hope of trying to keep his composure. An entirely undignified noise managed to escape him, the giggles of his wife not helping in the slightest. He was tempted to just bury his head in the pillow, hoping that it could somehow help calm the red in his face, when a quiet voice came from their doorway.

"Dadaí? Mamaí?” Both he and Petra sat up at the sound of their son’s voice, who was standing there with a tight grip on the stuffed bear Hubert had made for him.

"A stóirín? What is wrong?" Petra asked quietly, as Aiden quickly ran up to their bed and crawled into it, neatling himself between Petra and Hubert.

"...had a bad dream." It was quiet, but Hubert's heart broke all the same. From the look on Petra's face, he knew she felt the same.

They laid back down again, both wrapping their arms around their son. Petra began to quietly hum a lullaby - one she had often sung when Aiden was still a baby.

Hubert couldn't stop himself from saying, "I love you both, with all of my being."

AAAAA TY ANON!! I'm glad you like what my blog has to offer!! Also I'm sorry but "hot for competence" is making me giggle djdjd I'm SORRY

As stated before, Hubert and Edelgard were Petra's first friends when she initially arrived to the empire. While Edelgard was technically the first to befriend Petra, it was actually Hubert who really reached out to her. He actually helped teach her the basics of Fodlan's language (still don't know what to call it...) and in return, Petra taught him some of Brigid's. Actually, they ended up exchanging quite a bit of culture just from their language lessons - by the time post-timeskip rolls around, both are rather fluent in the other's language.

I also like to think Hubert sometimes helps braid Petra's hair for her! Most of the time Petra does it herself, but occasionally Hubert will step in and braid her hair for her - especially if there's some formal event coming up that both of them need to attend.

They do actually get married in their paired ending, under the guise of allying the Empire with Brigid right? I like to think they truly did love each other, and the whole political marriage thing was a bit of a convenient excuse. It was probably Edelgard that really pushed them to marry - because we all know Hubert would have just stood by if he thought Petra deserved better. Which he probably did.

Yessss I am ALWAYS HERE for more Petra content, especially if it’s a) fluffy content and b) HUBERT/PETRA CONTENT

Hubert’s eyes fluttered open when he felt shifting beside him. He turned onto his side, facing his wife (wife, never did Hubert think he could ever say that in his life, but here he was anyway) who was shifting in her sleep. Petra’s hair, normally kept neat and braided, sometimes by Hubert himself, was tangled from how much Petra was moving around. 

Not that Hubert was bothered by it. In all honesty, he found it rather charming. Petra often talked in her sleep, her body shifting around as she dreamt. It seemed that tonight she was dreaming about some kind of hunt, sleepy mumbles about catching an animal as her body moved about.

Truthfully, Hubert would often fall asleep to these sleepy mumbles. Sometimes they would be the only thing that could soothe his nerves enough to allow him a restful sleep. Even now, listening to her muttering about her catch, Hubert could feel his body relaxing enough to maybe let him go back to sleep. 

He just had to do one thing first. 

Gently, he brushed away a lock of hair that had fallen over Petra’s face, tucking it behind her ear. As soon as he did, a small smile appeared on her face as her body relaxed. Hubert felt himself smile at the sight, before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep again.

(When Petra awoke the next morning, her arms were wrapped around Hubert who was, for once, still sound asleep. Normally she would wake him up, but she was pretty sure that they didn’t have much to do, so...
