Ruby was elated. Jaune Arc, her new team leader and partner was so kind, and he paid attention to her, and spent time with her, and smiled when he saw her and...
She took a deep breath.
Ruby really liked Jaune. She could tell when she met him and he helped her stand up that he was a great person. He helped strangers because he thought it was the right thing to do, and he was never mean. He was so nice that he didn't even like the idea of fighting other people. She heard him say it a lot before, that he only wanted to fight the Grimm.
Jaune didn't want to be a hunter. He had told her the day she met him, and then again when they were put together on a team. Even so, he stepped up and took over as a leader, just so that he could help everyone. Ruby was a little ashamed to admit that she hadn't cared about her studies at all before he made them learn it, and she knew Yang and Blake had been the same.
Jaune hadn't cared at all. He had even completely ignored the teachers, refusing to even pretend to work.
That's what made it even more special that he stepped up. He started working and fighting, to show the correct example. Ruby couldn't help but try and copy him.
It didn't really surprise her when she thought about it, and realised that she was hopelessly infatuated with Jaune. He was everything she admired in a hunter, and a friend.
Ruby hoped she could stay with him forever.
