So, I think putting that into “highschool crush” or “forced” category is a little bit of a stretch.

Here's the thing, I never bought their relationship because there wasn't any attraction towards each other. It's starts out Louise approaching Saji and just being attached to him for no reason. You don't see any spark of romance between them. You don't even see him kiss Louise goodbye. He doesn't know to do when he's around her. You never see him having a happy moment with her. It's like she's a nuisance he has to tolerate. But when Louise gets her hand blown off, he realizes he loves her, unfortunately it's too late because she told him to pursue his dreams. The whole foundation built upon of their relationship is very weak. Then in season 2, separated over 4 years, Saji is madly in love with Louise but she's now a pyscho who's only fixed on revenge. You never see a moment where Louise is thinking about Saji before they reunite. Hell, she never even called him during the time skip. So where's the love between them? Sure by the end it gets resolved but way their "romance" was build upon is forced.
