If they're not pollinated, they'll fall off as you described. Were these the first two fruit you found? If you wait a bit, there will be male and female flowers at the same time and the bees will pollinate for you. Or you can use a Q Tip and take some pollen from the male blossom and transfer it to the female flower, which is the one with the fruit attached to the back. The male flower is just on a plain stem.
