I don't see Pearls relationship with Rose as romatic, I see it as a Knight and the leader they serve, with both respect and admiration. Given Pearls personality, her Obsessive compulsiveness and her feelings of inferiority towards the natural strengths of her teammates(Coach Steven) I can see her clinging to the Idea that Rose(A leader and mentor who everyone respected) trusted her so much and how thats probably what helped her go on while they were on earth for so long(Space Race), then when she falls apart when she finds out that wasn't entirely the case. And I absolutely love how Steven tells Pearl the she's great and shows how Pearl has taken up the role of Stevens mentor just like Rose was to her and then has that very touching ending with Steven.
