I, though, wouldn't mind if they do end up a couple.

Same here. I, personally, do still like that ship as well. It's just, after what I've read in official interviews, I understand and accept that it might not be fit to happen, and I've been taking a closer look back at some interactions and the subtexts, and I guess I don't really need it to happen to be happy. I would like it to be left an open option in a default ending that leaves ships open though. That would suit the series better, and people could pay attention to the dynamics of every ship wthout having to worry about whether it's right or wrong.

The author gives me the impresion that he's completely fine with that ship, but he doesn't feel the need to actually make it a thing in his own story. I could see him allowing the 2 to have a non-canon marriage/pair-up/confession mainly just to satisfy the many fans that really want it to happen though, be it in a spinoff, a video game, an OVA, etc.
