In fairness, the Ada/Leon love scene did allow me to scare the crap outta my friends. They were so engrossed in what was happening that I managed to yell 'ZOMBIE!' and make them jump.
I always hoped that Ada knew she wasn't mortally wounded and told Leon she loved because she suspected she'd see the floppy haired ass again one day and the love thing would stop him shooting her in the face for her betrayal. Itn would certainly have been nice.
As for Steve...he was a pathetic sack of teen emo through the whole game. Is it shocking that he falls in love with the first woman to show any affection to him, at all? And Claire's reaction was more of an, 'Ick, it touched me' than 'Ohmagawd he wuvvved me!'
And Chris and Jill always struck me as partners, close friends...and that's it. I think the only thing that ever suggested they were closer was the end of RE1, where, to be fair, I think it was more of an, 'Holy shit I'm not dead' than, 'Ummm, cuddly' thing. And then didn't Jill have a picture of her boyfriend on her S.T.A.R.S desk? I know Claire simply assumed it was, but we don't know of any family close enough to have a desk picture.
Saying that...they're probably the only ones who might be a couple at some point. I don't think they were. I don't think they'd dare be. Working with your lover in a dangerous and life threatening situation is a good way to screw up. But the potential is certainly there more than the other two.
Of course, the eternal relationships are Brad and Nemesis and Luis and Saddler. Nothing like on screen love to confirm things.
