The only question is 'when'? The theme is 'Shuraba', which is a definite 'result' whenever a harem is involved. The accompanying theme is 'Ji-En-Otsu' (faking, charade, play-acting, lies). And Masuzu and Eita's fake relationship sets up the dynamics for everything.
As to having them acting a little 'dere' towards each other, it is a reasonable behavior considering that they are adolescents who just experienced their first encounters of 'intimacy'. They are moments of 'body-over-mind' at that kind of age. It doesn't mean that their beliefs about love have been completely overturned.

Of course, I know that they would
eventually fall in love, I was just under the impression that this whole strong dislike (
or just lack of interest) for love which was presented so prominently in the first episode as a strong point in their character would be a key focus and something that they both have to work on overcoming. But it just seems like they have '
forgotten' about it soon after that first episode.
Heck, I'm okay if it's just a one arc thing instead of an overarching plot point, except the first arc was more on the childhood friend. Even the chuunibyou-ism is more prominent
Okay, maybe it's just me and I'm just taking the whole
'Want nothing to do with love' too seriously.
That being said though... Six episodes in and Eita seems to have adopted the '
Araragi Koyomi' School of Resolution to his approach-
