As long as there are speed bumps and conflict along the way, it'lll be grand. ^_^ It's the sugary Cinderalla stories where everyone falls in love without incident that don't work so well- people need to work, especially when it's a rather unlikely romance.

I don't see any problem with it. I'm gonna make a way-out-there analogy [that probably won't hold up in the long run]:

Say there is a guy and a girl in different homerooms, each of whom are the first in the attendence list for alphabetical order. If they like each other, why should they not have the opportunity to date if they like each other?

Personally, I don't think it matters a whole lot whether they're major or minor characters. As long as you keep them real people and you're not forcing them together just because they're the leading guy and gal. That would be... difficult... both on the author and the readers. Going back to my analogy the teachers wouldn't prohibit them to date just because they happened to have the same title on the "who's in homeroom" list.

Well, how do you know when you are forcing your leading girl and guy together? Plus, if you do want to match up them up how do you do it without making it seem... tampered with?

If I were in your situation, I would write out multiple realtionships and problems for them. Maybe...

1) falling in love, pulling away, falling back in love, breaking up, falling in love, one of them dies.

or

2) falling in love, one falls out of love with the other, other works hard, one falls back in love, other falls out of love, falls back in love, happy ending.

There are tons of possibilities, so write it out!
