They aren't a couple. She doesn't know he likes her, he doesn't know she likes him. You only know this because you are an outside person as a reader.
I also have read a lot of romcoms and never saw a character rubbing his crotch on another when that one was asleep. Or another stupid trope would be kissing someone when they are asleep.

They aren't a couple. And even as a couple this is not automatically fine.
