'drifted' while technically correct in the
context of the sentence, connotes way too much
to 'drifted away' (a popular and very cliched
term), so I suggest you make use of another word
other than 'drifted.'

Been thinking about it, but nothing springs to mind.  They just ...
drifted together and stuck.  Any suggestions?

Drifted, used this way, isn't unusual. FWIW, it works well for me here.
