Nada. =/ It's Ruby and Jaune's body language in episode 2, more than anything else. Ruby's especially - she's subvocally screaming that she's experienced that uniquely mid-teen thing, the Instant Crush. As late as episode 6, she's seriously considering him as a partner for no other reason that "he's funny".

Distance (being on different teams) will cure Ruby of her crush, I think. Nonetheless, the smiles she and Jaune exchange in episode 8 when they collect their relics suggests that there will always be a little connection between them
