Despite what some have said, there is a whole load of potential development in JaunexPyrrha beyond "just getting together".

I propose the following for your consideration.

How it started:

Jaune didn't see Pyrrha as a love interest right from the start and had only a passing fancy for Weiss because he though she was interested in him and he wanted to seem confident. Pyrrha on the otherhand has been all over Jaune since their first interaction and each episode we see that she becomes more involved.

How it is:

Jaune recognises that there is a connection with Pyrrha, defends her and doesn't want to hurt her in any way although he seems utterly clueless as to her true feelings. Pyrrha has become more emotional with respect to Jaune from one episode to the next as demonstrated by her dizzy excitement when she first dragged him to the roof, her shocked concern at the suggestion that he might jump, and most telling of all her reaction when she heard about the ursa (Drops the jar, says "Jaune!!!" in a panicked voice, and is frozen to the spot until Ruby takes charge). Pyrrha seem genuinely delighted at the prospect of training with Jaune in their private little moonlight spot and he is willing to take a dent to his newly restored ego to get them back on track.

Where to from here:

Pure speculation of course. Training together makes them closer as a fighting pair, the more they train and the more time they spend together the more closely they become atuned to each other. Unfortunately, while Jaune becomes closely bonded to Pyrrha over time, to the point where he start to have real feelings for her, we are all painfully aware that he is utterly clueless when it comes to women - which is where the drama will come from. Pyrrha will be consistent, however Jaune will convince himself that their relation is purely platonic on her part, despite all the signals to the contrary, and will stumble into every geekxgodess Trope that you can think of - imagined rivals, flirtations/dating someone like velvet to try and make her jealous, hamfisted attempts to see what she really feels etc. I can see miles of open water for that ship (allbeit full of rocks and sandbanks strategically placed for dramatic and comedic value) well into the future. Since the guys  at RWBY are in it for the long play I think the actual hookup won't happen any time soon and is only going to come about when one or the other is in serious danger.
