what if pre-ts Ferdinand had a crush on Hubert (despite their animosity), confessed and then got harshly rejected by Hubert telling him that no one will ever truly love someone so obnoxious and that everyone will eventually get tired of him. And that haunts Ferdinand for years.
Hubert assuming that his relationship with Ferdinand would be doomed in the end and Ferdinand would eventually want a real family so he rejects him for his own good (without giving the real reason) only to hear months later that a foreign dignitary (a man) is courting Ferdinand
