I think that cubs don't have romantic feelings.
For as long as, for example, Simba protected Nala from the hyenas getting in front of her to make sure that she will not suffer any damage, does not mean they feel romance between them, it only means that she's taking care of her as a good friend.
Think that they're cubs, at that age they are suposed to don't think or express any type of love or romance to another lion in this case. As they grow, then they can feel something more than friendship, but not at a such young age. (Pd: Usually, the romance begins in the teen or pre-teen/tween age) Well, I think when they meet again, Nala told Simba that she missed him and then she nuzzle him, that maybe it proves that she had thinked over it and have developed romantic feelings towards Simba, or vice versa.
