Summary/Warning: Envy doesn't want to lose her. (The last part is a bit wrong. It hold the same logic as eating dead flesh after someone has died.)
Ever since Envy met Winry, the words "Promised Day" being uttered from one of his family members had a very different effect on him than it should have. He became anxious and unhappy, snapping like an alligator at anyone who ever dared even open their mouth in his presence.
This sudden change of heart was scaring Envy as he slowly became aware of it's presence. He should've been excited, proud; this was what his father and all the homunculi had been dreaming of for centuries. Envy had also been excited not too long ago. He is sadistic and hates humans,--and although he wouldn't admit it to himself--he found himself realizing that the reason he dreaded the promised day's arrival was because he didn't want to lose Winry.
Envy loved her.
It was unholy, wrong, and probably not even scientifically possible, but as much as he tried, he couldn't get rid of him aching to be with her. Now Envy was cursed to suffer the pain of watching the only person he had ever loved in such a strong and potent manner--not like a dog as with his father, master and minion, but as equals--die because of his own doing. The constant though of her death put Envy in irritable and morose moods.
Envy wanted to keep her with him forever, but he wasn't like Greed. Envy was a coward. He couldn't drag the girl to the circle where the survivors would stand, he couldn't imagine what his family would do to her. And he wasn't capable of running away, to betray his father. Envy was made to carry out the tasks his father had programmed him for, disloyalty wasn't one of them. In some ways it was strange enough that Envy could care for a human; he wasn't to do
that.
As he continued to visit her, pretend that nothing was wrong and keep the truth of her fate away from her, Winry's impending death haunted him as a guilty conscience of someone who never does anything wrong does.
Maybe if Envy was lucky, after the promised day, the part of the stone that housed Winry's soul could be placed within him. He could keep her with him everywhere he went, or at least a piece of her.
