Otherwise, it just seems like rich kid trying to socialize with teammates, and Yang being the entire team's big sister. Yang is the teams mother-figure, not just big Sister. Honestly that seems to be why she and Blake have the best chemistry and get along so well.

Blake is looking for somewhere to belong, familial acceptance... but she can take care of herself.

Meanwhile, Yang is looking for her own mother and less motherly responsibility than she has with Ruby or Weiss. I personally think Raven is the catalyst of Bumblebee.

Consider this change between Volume 1 and 2: Yang never showed any real care for Blake in Volume 1 and didn't even react when she ran away unlike Ruby. But the next time Blake is again in need of a friend, it's Yang who jumps at the call. I assume it's because Blake reminded her of herself in the past when it came to her mother and Yang isn't necessarily doing it because she's the team mom but rather because Blake just happened to give her a deeper reason. Otherwise she wouldn't go as far as she did.

Then, there's her feeling of betrayal when Blake leaves. Again, this seems to come more from her mother issues than her friendship with Blake. Just like with Raven, she was left behind without a word and she's projecting her hatred for her mother on her feelings about Blake.

It seems to be that a lot of the Bumblebee relation comes from Blake always opening old wounds on Yang.
