Steve's eyes closed as Rogue wrapped her arms around him, but it took another couple seconds for him to be able to return the embrace, cautiously reaching out to gently - so, so gently, because he always had to be mindful of his strength, didn't he? - wrap around her slight form.
It was those words, I know you'd never hurt me, said so matter of factly, that had Steve's face crumpling, and the entire emotional debacle of the morning came crashing down on him. He sat back, pulling Rogue with him, and buried his face against her neck as he sobbed.
"I'm so sorry," he cried quietly, again and again, his voice breaking. "I'm so sorry."
