Flash (Aaahhh!): That we've seen on screen. You can't be roommates, project partners for a whole semester, and eat and study together without getting to know each other, at least a bit. Ren's just the quiet type, as we well know, and probably feels awkward because he suspects that Jaune's about to ask about Weiss, knows full well about Pyrrha's situation, is not really a social creature himself, and really just wants to take a shower, dammit.

As to Ren's orientation, it's possible; though I shan't infer anything from his own reactions. Nora is more telling w.r.t. their relationship. I simply desperately want to avoid Sloth.
