It WOULD be out of the normal. The whole pairing in these sorts of situations seem to be telegraphed from a mile away. Scant-witch has more of a chance hooking up with blond knight than main kid. Still, the idea that someone could bring this up(a possibility that we play in our mind to something out of the cliche norm) is fun. I liken it to FFVIII's pairing of Squall and Rinoa, which if you play the game, the development of the relationship isn't bad, but if you know nothing about them, just by first sight, you KNOW they are going to get together just because they fit into that mold of various character cliches(especially visually, Rinoa's Nomura's "type" of "ideal woman", like Tifa, which has been kinda a "thing" in a LOT of post-FFVII games, even with Garnet of FFIX, which Nomura had nothing to do with). My fantasy would start with the question of "What if Squall and Rinoa weren't a thing. What if Squall got with Selphie instead and Rinoa got with Zell or Irvine?". I like the breaking of traditional tropes and cliches. Sometimes things need to be turned up to make it feel fresh again!
