It's simply caring. It's unconditional love. Actually, our Sugar Lady once said that this show is all about unconditional love.

Ruby saved Sapphire in a similar way, that was agape, not romance, yet. Steven saved Connie in a similar way, that was agape, not romance, yet.

Unconditional love/agape is universal. It can exist in all types of love and relationship. You can even feel it for your enemy.

Just because of caring for someone doesn't mean romance or romantic feelings. It must be established prior to prove that they care for each other because of romantic feelings. Apparently, there's no hint that romance was already established prior. I agree. Sort of. In my opinion, Peridot had a small crush on Amehyst towards the beginning of "Too Far" and it wasn't reciprocal until around "Message Recieved". Of course, I'm heavily biased, but I think my argument is ''reasonable. ''ANYWAYS, yeah. Love takes time and love take work. IF Amethyst and Peridot had some romantic feelings towards each other, it's probably nothing more than small crushes as of now. It would be cool to see theri relationship grow, whether it be romantic or platonic.

There was some prior feeling established beforehand, but most evidence comes from AFTER that happened. I think that because of that situation, a possible romantic situation will blossom. Like, when Ruby save Sapphire, there wasn't that much romantic hints before hand, but because of their accidental fusion, they're love blossomed.

And, again, falling on top of someone isn't the only evidence there is. There is a LOT more. It is a common misconception that the obvious hints are the only ones.
