For Rogue, it was all worth it. The aches and pains of using her body in ways she hadn't before was a small trade off to be able to live how she'd always wanted to. And to have that with someone she cared about as much as Steve -- there was really no downside in her mind. But she appreciated Steve's care and concern more than she'd ever be able to say.
When he said what he did, Rogue just stared at him for a long moment, trying to piece together what he meant, because surely... But that look said it all. She knew exactly what he'd meant and it sent a thrill through her at the very idea of it. For so many years, she'd had fantasies of experiencing that particular act of intimacy, but there was never any way for it to be safe for her partner. So now, with Steve almost outright promising it to her, she couldn't hide the surprised and incredibly pleased look that crossed her face, even as she ducked her head a little in something akin to embarrassment.
