I don't think that anything is 'going on' with them right now. They're just two kids, away from home for the first time, who are dealing with the lonliness thing by becoming friends. That doesn't mean that Yang won't tease her little sister mercilessly about her 'hot boyfriend'.

I've got a feeling that friendship will be the first and most important thing between them for a long while. It may get more than that in the mid- to long-term but they're both going to be too busy settling in to school and, later, whipping their respective teams into something approaching combat-readiness to be worrying too much about romance.

That said, I do think that the seeds are there, at least on Ruby's part. Watch her body-language when she's with Jaune in episode 2. She's flirting with him in an inept "first schoolgirl crush" kind of way. She very obviously wants to impress him, hence showing off Crescent Rose in one of the most explicit allusions to psychological emasculation I've ever seen in animé ("My weapon is bigger than yours!").
