I understand that shonen is more about action and less emotion than a shojo, but, where is the rule who says that a shonen can't makes couples ?
Nowhere.

And I think Fullmetal Aclehmist is quite romantic, at least more romantic than
a lot other shonen-mangas. The relationshipo between Ed and Winry has been growing since the very beginning of the manga and now we're at a point where they can't meet each other without throwhing
huge hints at us all the time.
Remember when they met at Pinako's house: Winry screaming because Ed saw her changing, Ed stopping eating because he saw her changing (I loved it XD), Ed telling her that she should leave the country (with Pinako), the two having an argument that Ed couldn't stand after an extreamly short time, Ling telling Ed about being greedy, Ed telling Winry she should bake him an apple pie and whait for him to come back. I think the apple pie-thing was the most romantic sentence he ever said. XD ]
This chapter was full of EdxWin-interaction, maybe even a bit too much for a shonen-series. I'm quite courious what will happen the next time when they meet each other. They've reached a point where's nothing to hide anymore, because it's just too obvious what's going on.
And what's with Winrys earrings?
*pointing at Ed who's still holding them*QUOTE
We need more of Edwin before the end and absolutely make it officially !
The only thing we need, is Ed saying that he's in love with Winry. Or we need another character telling (or teasing - like Riza XD) him without Ed denying it or freaking out. Ed's behaviour is more than enough to understand that he doesn't think of Winry as his old childhoodfriend, or his best friend, or a girl: he sees her as a woman and a potential lover. He just needs to spill it out already!
