About Peridot saving Amethyst is not "love" ; It is, actually. Like I-Ship-Stevidot said, there are more forms of love other than romantic. Peridot, though, showed many hints to liking her in that episode ;

-Notice me senapai trope

-Wanting to make her happy and feeling bad when she made a mistake

-Landing on top of her after saving her trope

There are plenty of more but these are the main reasons. If Peridot landed on the side of her it would've been nothing, probably, but she landed on top of her and didn't get off until Amethyst notified her nicely. She jumped off and blushed saying it was an accident that she landed on top of her. She denied it.

Also, I'm going to compare our smol angry kids here. Peridot and Ruby were both lower-classes that looked up to Amethyst and Sapphire because they were high classes. They then saved Amethyst and Sapphire from getting shattered or poofed, risking their physical form. Later on, Ruby and Sapphire began to love each other for them not for classes. Peridot and Amethyst like each other for who they are too. Big comparision here. It's like Amedot is following Rupphire in there steps to becoming canon.
