For a moment, Envy does have a little mini heart attack at that flinch. Oh no, oh shit he shouldn't have gone for it this soon--
And then, suddenly, he's being hugged and Wrath's entire weight is mashing up against him; it's enough of a surprise, after all the careful tiptoeing around one another they'd done since Wrath had come inside, that Envy has to be careful not to get pushed out of his chair by it.
There goes the last of Envy's fraying composure. It had only been holding on by the very tips of its fingernails anyway. He wraps his arms back around Wrath's shoulders, and he doesn't even notice or care how gross and matted the hair he's got half of his face pressed down to is. He can't erase what had happened or what had been done to them, he can't erase his own failures, but...he can be here, now. They're alive. Wrath is here, safe, and alive and none of the three of them here will ever, ever have to go back to her and her stupid dead city again. Even if it's because there's nothing to go back to at all, it won't ever be her.
In true Envy fashion, even if he's not as bad about pretending not to feel things in this place, he's still being hit all over again with the weight of how much he'd missed Wrath too. So the other homunculus doesn't have to cry, because...well, Envy's actually doing it for him this time. Not loudly, it's more like steady leaking than anything, but it is happening.
