Steve reached up instinctively to wrap his arms around Rogue; they tightened when he fully comprehended her answer, and he squeezed his eyes shut as sheer relief threatened to overwhelm him. "Oh, thank God," he mumbled.
"Wait! No, shit," he swore, pulling back and looking panicked. "I had-- just-- stay here!" He held up a finger to indicate 'one second', then turned and sprinted into the bedroom. He reached into the closet and pulled out his portfolio, digging in the pocket for a second before racing back to Rogue.
He wasn't sure... he'd already proposed, she'd already accepted, it seemed a little silly to get down on one knee now...
Fuck it. She knew he was cheesy and old fashioned, and she loved it. So Steve knelt down on one knee in front of Rogue. At least he wasn't nervous about what her answer would be, now. "I know I already screwed this up, but I wanna do it right. Marie LeBeau, you... are the most amazing woman I've ever met, and I don't know what I'd do without you." He held up the ring box he'd grabbed earlier, already open to show the silver ring holding emeralds along the sides to create leaves, surrounding a ruby in the center. "Would you do me the honor of being my wife?"
