Fire and Thorn grew up together, in a poorer part of the capital. It wasn't quite so poor as the slums, but they often had patches on their clothes and holes in their shoes. When their mama core manifested at the same time, they ran around in cat form making trouble all over the place or sometimes just sneaking out at night to look at the stars together.
Everyone knew they'd end up together and they were certainly childhood sweethearts, even though they never acknowledged any change in their friendship. They were simply them, nothing special.
When they reached adulthood, they both applied to be knights at the same time. Thorn was quickly recognized and moved her way up the ranks, even receiving honorary nobility, while Fire was still a low-ranking knight. Fire didn't mind though, he liked having fewer responsibilities and getting to work under Thorn and he was happy for her success. However, being superior and subordinate, they were unable to pursue a romantic relationship as they began to recognize their feelings for each other as more than just friends.
The pair began to date in secret and eventually married under the blessing of a tight-lipped priest by using the Marriage of the Gods, a form of marriage that cannot be revoked or annulled by any means unless it becomes unhealthy for one or both of the participants. Even if they were found out, they could not be forced apart and Thorn and Fire were too good at their jobs to be kicked out.
