At first, he wasn't sure what she was apologizing for - she didn't need to apologize for anything. And when she explained what the problem was...
Well, it wasn't really a problem, not to him at least. He wasn't expecting it, but maybe he should have been, knowing even a little of her history the last few years. "Hey, okay... okay." He reached up to cradle her head with a hand, pressing a kiss into her hair.
"Sweetheart..." He wasn't sure how to say this without upsetting her even more. He certainly didn't want that, but if there was one thing Steve knew how to do, it was speak his mind. "I'm sorry, that it bothers you so much. But if you think I give a tinker's damn about that, you're wrong." He kept his voice gentle and soothing, but firm with conviction. "You are beautiful to me, inside and out, and nothing's gonna make me change my mind."
They really hadn't known each other long enough yet, for Rogue to fully understand that once his mind was made up, God Himself couldn't change it.
