Oh yeah, I remember reading that. I guess that does count, although I feel like a romance between the two was never feasible considering the main "girl" being the way she is. But at least the description doesn't even hint at a relationship (as the story focused a lot more on the subversion of gender norms, being a gender bender).
It was more of a rhetorical statement. Like, if the description says "oh, will this happen?" then it's pretty obvious it will happen. I mean, for all we know, they could end up being good friends; having a description like that is pretty much spelling out "they will get together".
