At first I thought it was just a silly crush too like something they would use for a running gag everyone in a while. Then the writers made this Secret of my Excess episode. I just realized Spike has been holding these feelings for Rarity for almost a year since he fell in love with her during the first episode.

Spike - "I've been aging it for months... Its almost ripe..."

He wasn't kidding. The fire ruby was Spike's feelings for Rarity. She never noticed it before because it wasn't mature enough yet. When it was ready, he gave her his heart. To Rarity, it was so important that she kept it so close with her at all times through out the episode. She was even willing to protect it with her life against a rampaging dragon.

I think the writers are going to develop Spike and Rarity even further. They've been planing to from the very start since they wrote Spike's character with a crush on Rarity, since they wrote Spike and Rarity to share gemstones, since they wrote Spike would become a monster through greed and only generosity can save him. I predict we'll see more episodes in the future dedicated to Spike and Rarity writing additional development for their relationship.
