The way Maximus' face lit up and he nervously played with the hair of the dead person's head and Lucy Desperation on her face before she left I am crying

The reason why lucy/max initially feels so youthful together so far, like kids with a first crush, and why they don't have sex yet, is that they're both "maidens" in a narrative sense:
The Maiden Arc is the fundamental coming-of-age story. It is the story of a character who has left behind the Child archetype (which we will discuss later in the series when we reach the Flat-Arc or “resting” archetypes), but who has not yet individuated away from her family and into her own autonomy. The Maiden represents sexual awakening and conscious burgeoning. Hers is that fraught period—recreated in so many YA novels—when the person is learning who she will become and, perhaps most poignantly, what she is willing to risk to become that person. [source]
They're starting to break away from authority, but they're both still obedient to authority & brainwashing when they meet and start to fall for each other. They're going to separate to dance with their shadows (Lucy with Cooper and Max with the Brotherhood/Dane) and figure out who they truly are - then meet up again.
To be clear, I'm not saying they're in any way actually "children" - they're both adults! But their relationship to authority and community continues to be that of "maidens":
There is no guarantee she will accept the risk. As with all of the arcs, there is no promise she will fully commit to and complete her arc. Although we all grow up physically and assume adult responsibility, the inner arc may remain uncompleted long into our lives. The obstacles the Maiden confronts are vast because true individuation is often perceived as a threat by the tribe in which she exists. [source]
They didn't have sex because it wouldn't have been as their sincere selves? They don't know who they are yet! They're still trapped in a "youth" phase - and now moving into fully incorporating their shadows and knowing themselves & what they want phase. They're only going to get together after that.
And as I mentioned in a previous post, this show (so refreshingly!!) actually includes sex and povs on it as part of characterization - so the fact that they're both "virgins" in a way due to brainwashing--Max doesn't even know his own body let alone what sex is! And Lucy was brainwashed to think of "breeding" as her obligation and purpose - she's only done that and casual sex, never fallen in love and "made love"--plays into why they haven't had sex yet and that, once they're more fully formed as their own people, they will come together in that way.
It's a well written romance arc. A bit of the dynamic where a "childhood crush" couple meets, are separated, and then meet again and falls in love as adults who know themselves and what they want - but in a sped up timeline because they're both on parallel coming-of-age arcs. IMO in the final lyrics "my echo, my shadow, and me" - the shadow is Cooper for Lucy and the Brotherhood for Max and they are echoes of each other - with both similarities and differences.
Side note: even when a canon is writing a romance well... it's still valid and fun to play in non-canon ships because art is for playing and exploring! And I am a multishipper, so please don't bring negativity toward any ship to my post.

I feel bad for not liking the Canon ship more so here have something for lucyxmax 🫶
Love, if I could write you a song
Maybe the world would sing along
Then at least the city would cry out your name with me
I had a dream where I woke up strong
And lifted the weight you've carried on
All your secrets and your pretty lies are safe with me
Tell me, what have we become lately?
All our bridges are breaking
Are we dying or waking?
Are we lovers or friends?
Are we trusting a daydream?
Are we something worth saving?
What if the day we met was the beginning of the end? (End, end)
I wish I never fell in love, but I did (did, did)
'Cause all the time we had was never mine to spend (spend, spend)
Now I'm stuck between the living and the dead (dead)
But I'd wait a lifetime to see you again
Oh, I'd wait a lifetime to see you again (ooh)
(Whoa, whoa)
Love, I'd wait a lifetime to see you again
Are we facing the end tonight?
If this is a war, I'm picking sides
Tell me, will you take this life or walk away from me?
I had to lose myself to find
You're the light in my low and your breath is my high
Now I'm stuck across the world just waiting on ya
Tell me, what have we become lately?
All our bridges are breaking
Are we dying or waking?
Are we lovers or friends?
Are we trusting a daydream?
Are we something worth saving?
What if the day we met was the beginning of the end? (End, end)
I wish I never fell in love, but I did (did, did)
'Cause all the time we had was never mine to spend (spend, spend)
Now I'm stuck between the living and the dead (dead)
But I'd wait a lifetime to see you again
Oh, I'd wait a lifetime to see you again (ooh)
(Whoa, whoa)
Oh, I'd wait a lifetime to see you again
What do I have to gain if there's nothing to lose? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Would it still feel the same if I never met you?
What if the day we met was the beginning of the end? (End, end)
Now I'm stuck between the living and the dead (dead, dead)
But I'd wait a lifetime to see you again

The potential for Ghoulcy to be canon may be more likely than y'all think...
Honestly, if it were any other IP I would say there's no way, but this is Fallout we're talking about. A franchise which prides itself on indulging in the ridiculous and absurd scenarios it can come up with.
They've already done it in the games. Hancock is a romance candidate for your character in Fallout 4 and he's a ghoul, so like, the idea of pairing a human with a ghoul is not a new idea in the franchise.
Plus, I feel like there has been some potential actual foreshadowing for it in the show. Not just Norms husband talk in the beginning, but the fact that Lucy is a very frisky lady and not squeamish in the slightest both lend itself to the possibility. Now, that could all just be for the funny, but they do seem like very oddly specific choices on the writers part.
As for Max, I think the line the doctor says, "Will you still want the same things when you've become a whole other animal all together?" is gonna be pretty relevant here. Lucy thought she was gonna find her dad, then go back to her vault and live happily ever after with her LITERAL knight in shining armor. But now that she knows the truth... that probably doesn't seem as appealing as it used to be anymore.
So yeah... probably still unlikely BUT I don't think it's at all out of the realm of possibility. I can definitely see the creators going in that direction just to be funny and shock people, but maybe even more so if they find out there are fans who are actually into it... 😅 I mean who knows? I can dream...
But yes, I know. Maybe this is just all wishful thinking, but I don't care. I'm gonna ride this train til it crashes and burns!! Ghoulcy forever, baby!!
EDIT: I just wanted to quickly add that Walton Goggins also talked about how he and the creators deliberately set out to try and make the Ghoul "kind of hot" (which they obviously succeeded at, because here we are lol). And while, sure, that may have just been for freaky fans like us, there could be another reason if their intention from the beginning was to have a romantic arc with The Ghoul. Gonna give us that whole Beauty and the Beast trope, Fallout edition y'all haha 😃

I don't really go here but VAULTKNIGHT SHIPPERS, CONSIDER:
CHILDHOOD FRIENDS LUCY AND MAXIMUS!!!
THEY WERE BOTH KIDS WHEN SHADY SANDS HAPPENED. THEIR CHILDHOODS ARE BOTH BLACK VOIDS OF TRAUMA. THEY BOTH BONDED SURPRISINGLY FAST. THEY COULD HAVE BEEN FRIENDS WHEN THEY WERE KIDS AND JUST DON'T REMEMBER THAT WELL. THIS ISN'T A THEORY THIS IS MOSTLY A BARELY-AN-AU IDEA. GO BUCK WILD.

I just want to make it so clear that I love Maximus.
To be so devoted to his ‘saviors’ and so rolled up in his emotions and confused and he just wants to do a good job. And be the hero.
but at the end of the day he’s actually so happy with little comforts. A robe, watching a waterfall and eating a bunch of snacks.
He’s so afraid that he’s too fucked up but then with everything he is Lucy wants him and he’s so happy and excited to see what their future could be.
I love him.
