It felt really inappropriate to smile, but Steve still found himself biting his lip to hold back his grin at Rogue's reaction and words. He tucked his arm around her waist, then stooped and swept her legs up, being careful to move more slowly than usual as he straightened back up, so the change in position hopefully wouldn't make her dizzy.
He was aware of every shift of her in his arms as he walked into the bedroom, and tried to move as smoothly as possible, before lowering her to the side of the bed. He grabbed her pajamas and put them beside her, before saying, "I'm gonna go get the thermometer while you get changed, okay?" He knew better than to suggest the indignity of helping her change clothes - really, he needed to just start treating Rogue as if she were him when he used to get sick all the time. Of course, if she acted like he had, she probably would've tried to slug him already. Rogue was actually a much better patient, in that regard.
