Just A Sample

That was the first thing Neo thought when the Merovingian finished speaking. Coherent thought was gone, and that one profanity, thought with a venom that Neo was scared to discover he possessed, pushed its way to the front of his mind.

Neo felt all his muscles tighten at once.
getittogether shownoweakness getittogether
He could not make himself look at Trinity. He was afraid that if he did, he would see something that would cause him to break down. Cease to function.
He couldn't look at Morpheus, either. Although Neo was almost positive that the older man's face would betray no emotion. He was so good at that.

Neo looked at the Merovingian. Into his eyes. They were so calm, so collected. He knew he was in control of the situation. Knew that they really had no choice than to give him whatever he demanded. Knew that they would not come this far and suddenly turn around because Trinity wouldn't be willing to-

He loved her. Neo knew that more than he had ever known anything in his entire life.
He looked at Trinity. He had to now, just as strongly as he had not been able to before.
She looked back at him. He could see the sadness in her eyes even through the sunglasses that were meant to mask their facial expressions, hide their feelings.
She would do what she had to do. Neo had always respected her for that. Loved her for that.
She loved him, too. He could see it written all over her face. She didn't want to do this.

Neo knew how special a kiss from Trinity was. He could still taste all of them. He could still remember all of them, really, although by now their had been so many.
He didn't know if that was just how she kissed him, something she had discovered after she had first told him she loved him, or every kiss she had ever given anyone had been like that.
I'm about to find out, I suppose.
No, this is different. She does this because she has to.
She was standing up now. Stepping towards the Merovingian. Preparing for battle.
The Merovingian was also standing. Walking towards Trinity. Smiling. Knowing he was about to get exactly what he wanted. And with Persephone out of the room-

The Merovingian extends his hand and strokes Trinitys hair. Still with a slight smile on his face.

It was probably best that Neo remain seated. He glanced at Morpheus. Not one fucking bit of emotion. Predictable. Anything for the mission, huh sir?

Fuck the mission. He's kissing her now.

Don't watch.
Can't help it.
He's using his tongue.

Revolting.
Christ, he didn't think it would be this revolting to watch.
The Merovingian puts one hand on Trinity's waist.
Neo zooms in on that hand.

No idea how long it's been.

He touches her hair again. Neo notices Trinity try to draw back a little bit.
He's doing something she doesn't want him to do.
breakhisfuckingface
He's just a program anyway.
The kissing stops. Neo breathes again. He's not sure whether or not he had been holding his breath. Doesn't give a damn, either.
He's taken his hands off her now.
Trinity immediately steps away from him. Walks back to where Morpheus and Neo sit.
She looks-
Neo can't quite put his finger on it.
It's not a happy emotion, that's for sure. There's some anger in there. Some regret.
He wants to hold her and kiss her and take the regret away. It shouldn't be there, after all.
She did what she had to do.
