You engaged in perfectly normal fantasy behavior for a creative kid in fandom. It's skeevy for adults to ship adult/minors, and to sexualize minors in or out of ships.

It's not, imo, skeevy for adults to ship minors with each other in a non-sexualized way, because they think the characters are cute together or are likely to become canon when they're older, or because the characters are at that age where they're having romances but aren't really adults... like, I don't think it's creepy or wrong to be invested in the emotional bond between kid characters if that's what the story is about (like the sort of innocent maybe-romance-maybe-friendship Ghibli movie relationships, or Steven and Connie, or any of the Harry Potter ships I guess?) but the idea of sexualizing it skeeves me the hell out, because I'm an adult.

I didn't write very sexy stories about teen or kid characters when I was a kid, or I'm sure I'd also feel weird about looking back at them... I probably wrote some HP stuff when I was in my teens that I wouldn't write today, but I always preferred writing about adults over other kids when I was a kid...

Anyway, OP, I don't think you did anything wrong or abnormal, but I get why you don't want those fics to follow you. Just don't beat yourself up over it.
