In canon, Sparity was always a one-sided crush with Rarity treating Spike as the cute younger brother of a friend who has a crush/infatuation on her. What makes Spember interesting is that Spike hasn't been throwing himself at Ember but, rather, they were shown building a friendship and a mutual trust without any romantic baggage. If there is a romance, it will be as a result of their friendship growing in a certain direction.
