History HoYay / RWBY

* In Volume 2, Weiss is the first to notice when Blake isn't doing well.
* Weiss got Blake, and only Blake, a customized dust cartridge for her weapon.
* In the Volume 2 train fight, Blake rushes to the side of an unconscious Weiss, catching and cradling her before scooping her up and carrying her away.
* Blake and Weiss have a lot of chemistry while fighting. Their Volume 2 combination attack required a lot of coordination to pull off and they also had a BackToBackBadasses moment later.
* In Volume 6, Weiss is the first one to react when Cardovin says something racist towards Blake.
* When a drunk man says something anti-Faunus to Blake, Weiss literally throws him in the trash.

* When Ilia takes down a White Fang mook about to shoot, one of the faunus she saved, a bunny girl, can be seen blushing while looking at Ilia.

* In Volume 3, when Yang is framed for apparently breaking Mercury's leg, Weiss is the most vocally supportive of Yang's innocence and is even offended and angered when Blake doubts her.

* Weiss gets offended when Blake doubts Yang in Volume 3.

* Qrow/Taiyang: Subtly played between Qrow and Taiyang at different points. When Port and Oobleck are spending some downtime at Taiyang's cabin, they're discussing the Branwen twins' school antics. Port makes a comment regarding Tai's interest in Raven, but jokingly phrases it in such a way that hinted Tai may have been interested in both twins. When Qrow is in a poison induced stupor, he weakly calls out for Tai, and ''only'' Tai, stating that "she isn't coming back". (Whether this is referencing Summer or Raven is unclear).

* Jaune/Ren: When the blacksmith says that Jaune [[HeCleansUpNicely cleans up alright]], Ren is quick to respond that "he certainly does" in a very affectionate tone. Some fans have also noted that Ren seems to pretty much always look at Jaune whenever they're on screen together. He also seems to be the one who constantly rushes to Jaune's rescue, more so than either Nora or Ruby. This seems to mirror the way Nora - who does have a confirmed crush on Ren - is always the one to rush to ''Ren's'' rescue when needed. Also, when RNJR + Qrow split up, Jaune and Ren hug each other. And ''only'' each other. In Volume 8's title sequence, there is a shot of Ren standing alone, until Jaune comes up to place a hand on his shoulder-much like the shots of the ''canonical'' Jaune and Pyrrha in Volumes 1 and 2.

* Jaune/Ren: When the blacksmith says that Jaune [[HeCleansUpNicely cleans up alright]], Ren is quick to respond that "he certainly does" in a very affectionate tone. Some fans have also noted that Ren seems to pretty much always look at Jaune whenever they're on screen together. He also seems to be the one who constantly rushes to Jaune's rescue, more so than either Nora or Ruby. This seems to mirror the way Nora - who does have a confirmed crush on Ren - is always the one to rush to ''Ren's'' rescue when needed. Also, when RNJR + Qrow split up, Jaune and Ren hug each other. And ''only'' each other.

* Penny’s [[spoiler: unintended death by Pyrrha orchestrated to happen under Cinder and her lackey’s ministrations]] has Ruby visible distraught and shaking with tears when she witnesses this. She [[spoiler: later has PTSD over Penny, wishes she had spent more time with her and talks about how she loved her.]]

* Starting with the Volume 7 finale and going into Volume 8, Ruby and Penny's relationship got a lot more physically intimate. Ruby holds her on the airship as they flee and starts giving her hugs once per episode. She wraps her arm around her when Ironwood accuses Penny of abandoning Atlas, and in "Refuge" they have a rather tender conversation about Penny's struggle with her identity now that she's [[spoiler:the new Winter Maiden]], during which Ruby holds her hands gently and affirms she's a person once more.

* Qrow/Ozpin (Cloqwork) Qrow is extremely devoted to Ozpin. He picks a fight with Winter because he's angry that Ironwood stabbed Ozpin in the back, he's privately worried about Ozpin's reputation and argues in Ozpin's defence every time Ironwood disagrees with Ozpin; he implies he only tolerates Ironwood's involvement because it's Ozpin's wish, and tells his nieces he has a long history with Ozpin. When Ozpin goes missing, Qrow refuses to believe he's dead, speaks of going on missions for Ozpin wistfully, and carries Ozpin's cane almost reverently. Ozpin and Qrow share a gears motif, both wear crosses at their throat, and Ruby thinks the two men sound very much alike. Qrow's reaction to Oscar asking for the cane back is simply a soft "It's good to see you again, Oz." Based on Raven's info, Ozpin's influence on Qrow was enough for him to abandon a mission from his own tribe, part ways with his twin sister, endure an apparently unpleasant process of becoming a shapeshifter, and become whole-heartedly devoted to the headmaster and his cause.
* Qrow/Ironwood (IronQrow): Ironwood and Qrow's interactions while working under Ozpin sometimes come off as sheer BelligerentSexualTension, as they look for any opportunity to bicker at each other. Near the end of volume 3, though, it turns out their relationship is actually quite good and friendly outside their work, both are confirmed to think very highly of each other and actually like each other. Ironwood tries to minimize any damage he might do to Qrow while defending himself when he thinks Qrow will attack him, but as it turns out, Qrow actually runs past him in order to save him from a Griffin. After that, he states in a very soft and friendly tone that he believes Ironwood would never do something bad. As it turns out, "Jimmy" is also Qrow's AffectionateNickname to Ironwood, not just a way to pick fun of him. In "A New Approach", Ironwood stops Qrow as he's leaving and tells him that he ''is'' genuinely glad to see him, and gives him a hug. And not a ManHug, either - a full hug with them pressed against each other.
* Qrow/Taiyang (Fireball/Tai Kwon Qrow): Subtly played between Qrow and Taiyang at different points. When Port and Oobleck are spending some downtime at Taiyang's cabin, they're discussing the Branwen twins' school antics. Port makes a comment regarding Tai's interest in Raven, but jokingly phrases it in such a way that hinted Tai may have been interested in both twins. When Qrow is in a poison induced stupor, he weakly calls out for Tai, and ''only'' Tai, stating that "she isn't coming back". (Whether this is referencing Summer or Raven is unclear).
* Qrow/Hazel (Dusty Crow): When Hazel tears off his jacket in "Vault of the Spring Maiden", it cuts to Qrow widening his eyes, raising an eyebrow, and generally looking stunned. The implication is that he's baffled and a little worried about what Hazel's doing, but it's easy to read it as DistractedByTheSexy, especially with the [[HeadTiltinglyKinky head tilt]] he does and the fact that he's watching [[ItMakesSenseInContext a very muscular man tearing his clothes off]].
* Qrow/Clover (Qrowver) Qrow gains a foil in the form of Clover Ebi, who exudes good luck in contrast to Qrow's bad. When the two are paired together on a mission, Clover catches Qrow when he trips, and later explains the complementary nature of their Semblances, winking at Qrow while saying "Lucky you" in a CallBack to the waitress who'd upgraded Qrow's drink in volume 4. And Qrow looks ambiguously hesitant and vulnerable afterward. And in "Sparks", Clover praises Qrow on helping the kids get to where they are and doesn't let Qrow get away with deflecting the compliment, with Qrow again seeming vulnerable and acting embarrassed before Ruby interrupts them. The most glaring example is in "Cordially Invited" just as Clover is leaving with Ironwood for a meeting with Jacques, he turns to Qrow and jokingly says "Wish us luck." Qrow's response is downright flirtatious when he says "I mean, they already invited you, didn’t they?" to Clover's amusement. In "As Above, So Below", Clover once again winks and salutes Qrow as he falls off the ship, which prompts a laugh and a fond "Showoff." from Qrow. And in "With Friends Like These", Qrow is driven into a rage once Tyrian stabs Clover, screaming that he will kill Tyrian before collapsing beside Clover and swearing that Ironwood will pay for what he has done. Clover gently wishes Qrow luck just before he dies, and once he's gone Qrow lets out a SkywardScream with tears running down his face.

* Yang/Various (Yang/Neo- Baked Alaska, Yang/Neon- Nyang Cat): Yang attracts female opponents who tend to flirt with her while they fight. Neo fights silently, spending their train-side battle with Yang mocking and flirting with body language; she twirls her parasol, delicately crosses her legs, smiles brightly every time their eyes meet, and flutters her eyelashes at Yang. Neon obsesses over Yang's busty figure during their tournament match, calling Yang "top-heavy", quibbing about Yang's butt, and commenting that Yang looks pretty when she's angry.
* Emerald/Ruby(Gemstone/Alexandrite) When Emerald is talking with Ruby after their first fight in the Vytal Festival, Ruby has a rather bizarre reaction to Emerald complimenting how she fought: she is left blushing and babbling incoherently while making a gesture that look like a silent {{Squee}}.
* Coco/Emerald (Mint Chocolate): Before their fight, Coco actually openly looks Emerald up and down and compliments her outfit. She later says "Oh, I ''like'' her" in a very appreciative tone.
* Jaune/Ren (Martial Arcs) When the blacksmith says that Jaune [[HeCleansUpNicely cleans up alright]], Ren is quick to respond that "he certainly does" in a very affectionate tone. Some fans have also noted that Ren seems to pretty much always look at Jaune whenever they're on screen together. He also seems to be the one who constantly rushes to Jaune's rescue, more so than either Nora or Ruby. This seems to mirror the way Nora - who does have a confirmed crush on Ren - is always the one to rush to ''Ren's'' rescue when needed. Also, when RNJR + Qrow split up, Jaune and Ren hug each other. And ''only'' each other.
* Jaune/Tyrian (Burning the World) As a FoeYay example, Tyrian seems to have some interest in Jaune. When Tyrian gets his first face-to-face after hopping onto Jaune's shield in the middle of a fight, he pauses to look at Jaune closely with apparent and unsettling, interest and even woohoos in delight before resuming fight. When asked about his motives, he dismisses Nora and Ren as not mattering to him, but when it's Jaune's turn he pauses and admits that actually he's interested in him, before resuming talking about his main goal; Ruby.
* Weiss/Vernal (Schnee Snatcher) Vernal takes a strong interest in Weiss immediately while she is caged up, and seems to genuinely admire Weiss' feisty attitude in the face of her captors. She gently handles Myrtenaster in front of her owner and even quips that maybe Weiss should stay with the tribe rather than be ransomed back to her father.

* Blake/Ruby (Ladybug): When Blake is about to be killed by the Apathy Grimm in Volume 6 Episode 6, it causes Ruby's silver eyes to briefly activate when she calls for her desperately. While Ruby and Blake have had very little one-on-one interaction, Volume 6 has repeatedly shown Blake to be just as protective of Ruby as Weiss and Yang are. She is just as threatening to Qrow and Ozpin in Episode 2, and in Episode 6, Ruby's scream of terror knocks Blake out of her apathy-haze just as quickly as it does Weiss and Yang.
* Another FoeYay example occurs between Maria and Tock, the assassin [[spoiler:who blinded her.]] While Maria doesn't put up with it, Tock acts in a semi-flirtatious manner when meeting the former, complimenting the power that her silver eyes grant her before adding that having silver eyes makes her a target, and calling her "love". [[spoiler:After blinding Maria]], Tock notes that her master ordered her to kill Maria on the basis that she's a silver-eyed warrior, but offers to spare Maria [[spoiler:since Tock already cut her eyes out]]. When Maria initially ineffectually tries to shoot at Tock [[spoiler: despite being blinded]], [[YouGotSpunk the latter respects that and calls Maria a fighter to the end.]]
* Ironwood/Watts (Military Funding): Even Ironwood and Watts get in on the FoeYay during Volume 7. The conversation they have as [[spoiler:the platform rises during their fight]] sounds uncannily like the result of a really bad break-up.
--->'''Ironwood:''' I gave you everything you could have wanted!
--->'''Watts:''' You chose that fat imbecile over me!
** Not to mention [[spoiler:Ironwood chooses to spare Watts' life, even after telling Watts he was willing to sacrifice anything to defeat Salem, perhaps implying sacrificing his [[WeUsedToBeFriends former friend]] was too much even for him.]]

* In Volume 2, Weiss is the first to notice when that Blake isn't doing well.

In episode 5 of Volume 7, Clover gives Qrow a pretty heartwarming YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre - speech, telling him not to deflect compliments every time he gets them and that his influence and teachings played a huge part in Ruby's development. Qrow seems genuinely flattered by it, even partially mirroring Blake's shy but delighted reaction to Yang complimenting her hair two episodes prior.

* It's possible to interpret "Wings" in a Weiss/Blake light. The song is about Blake and a few of the lyrics refer to Weiss mentioning that she spent twelve hours looking for Blake.
