Perhaps I came across too ambiguously. I wasn't trying to equate the Shitennou x Guardian coupling with fan fiction, more so, I was making the point that, it comes across as very tacked on and under developed- which is reminiscent of some fan fiction, where random characters are paired up just for the sake of it. So I'm not saying it's not (manga) canon, I'm saying the concept strikes me as something that fans would make up.
It's convenient in the sense that it's one group of four females matched with one group of four males under the leadership of the main female/male protagonists. It's not used as a plot device anywhere, it just wraps thing up neatly and perfectly. Too perfect for my liking, which is why I would prefer Kunzite x Zoicite or Venus never finding a lover as she is cursed/bound to duty, as these are relationships/ideas which I find less conventional and less often explored.

I think the idea was that all the characters were all about to have a perfect life, their own wonderland. Until it was destroyed by evil. Besides we all know these relationships aren't going anywhere, since the Guardians are bound to Usagi for eternity.
As I said, the whole Guardians and Generals romance was just a general background on how life was perfect for everyone before it was all destroyed.

i don't think Kunzite/Zoisite added more to their characters because honestly i don't think of their anime counterparts even being the same characters. 
i MUCH prefer manga Zoisite especially.
and of course it seemd tacked on and underdeveloped, she never got a chance to add it in and develop it. i understand thinking it would be "too perfect" but in defense of the author, we don't know how forced it might have been or how awesome it might have been too since she never got to do more than one promo picture.

^^ Probably just more of a cultural thing than anything else.
Italian mafia kingpins show (respect and friendliness) affection by kissing one another on the forehead...
Zoisite clinging too Kunzite as a younger inexperienced follower is not too much of a stretch. The whole head on the shoulder situation in the manga did add depth to their characters and showed that Zoisite deeply admired Kunzite...in a way similar to how Makoto admired Haruka.
Also, the younger laying his head on his role model is not odd too me...It's like a human pillow of comfort. Like having your little brother or sister lay on your shoulder.

Act 6 - Tuxedo Mask of the reprint manga. 
There was a similar scene in chapter 7 as well. (they weren't sitting together in that one though. Kunzite just came behind Zoisite to look at the screen he was looking at with him.)

Not a problem at all, it stood out in my memory of my recent read thanks to all the discussion about it. 
Yeah, there will still be a bit of a wait sadly, but it shouldn't be too long at least. I think the odds of seeing it are pretty likely too, with how Crystal hasn't been leaving out. Context is a bit harder to say since Usagi's heart eyes with Rei didn't get much explanation, but then again with that being one of their scenes together I do imagine they'll try to give us a taste of what their relationship is like.
