Fox and Velvet are both members of team cfvy. They are both first seen in the opening sequence of volume 2 walking beside each other. In volume 2 chapter 12 the two are seen standing next to each other in an airship next to Coco and Yatsuhashi. They both then jump out of the ship and they land next to each other. The two both seem to get along well. They are then seen looking at each other at the end of the episode.

They are next seen together again in volume 3 chapter 4. In that episode they are seen sitting in the stands next to each other. They are then seen cheering on their teammates as they take on Mercury and Emerald. Fox is then shown comforting Velvet by putting a hand on her shoulder after she sulks because of the loss of Coco and Yatsuhashi. They are then shown standing next to each other in chapter 10 before the battle of beacon.

In the After the fall novel Fox using his semblance tells Velvet telepathically that mole crabs are attacking them. Later Velvet uses her semblance to replicate Fox's weapon. Later when Fox asked her to help him and the others Velvet tried to ignore him but his semblance made it difficult. Velvet was then grossed out when Fox went to tear up the dead mole crabs. They then team up to fight against Carmine.

Fanon
The Fox and the Hare is a rarepair within the RWBY fandom. This is most likely due to the fact that Fox and Velvet have only spoken to each other in the after the fall and before the dawn novels. Some people ship them due to the fact that they're both on the same team and have some similarities. Some people think it would be ironic if the two ended up together considering that Velvet has an interest in photography and Fox being blind wouldn't be able to see any of her pictures. It has a small fanbase on tumblr.
