Neo winced as the needle was pulled gently out of his head. Before he could sit up however, Trinity's face appeared above his as well as Morpheus'.

"Welcome back Neo." Morpheus commented, smiling.

"Neo! We missed you man! How you feeling?" Link's voice burst out from behind Morpheus.

Neo laughed softly before responding.

"Not bad. I have a killer headache though."

"Why don't you go rest? In the morning we can talk." Morpheus concluded, gently patting Neo on the back as he sat up.

"Yeah, okay. Hey, where's my room?" Neo asked to the retreating Morpheus.

"Trinity will show you to your room. The Logos is a large ship, thankfully." Morpheus smiled once more before climbing up the ladder to leave.

Neo turned towards Trinity as he stood up. Smiling gently, she took his hand in her own and led him to the ladder before following Morpheus. Climbing up two levels, Trinity got off and waited for Neo to finish climbing.

"Not much further. This way." Trinity whispered as she turned and walked down the hallway.

Neo followed her to almost the end of the hall before she stopped at a door and opened it. Following her in, Neo shut the door behind him before turning around to take in the new room. It was about as big as the one they had on the Neb, maybe a bit smaller. The back wall had a bookcase with assorted books and a few odds and ends on it along with two separate areas for extra clothes and boots.

Neo's eyes finally landed on Trinity, taking her in. And, as much as he wanted her that minute, he knew that his head would explode if he did not sleep. Trinity seemed to see the pain in his eyes and guided him to the bed. Neo slipped off his boots as Trinity switched off the small lamp that had been on in the dark room. As Neo lay down on the bed he heard Trinity take off her own boots before curling up against his chest. Yes, sleep would come tonight.

~~*~~

Neo awoke to the lights flickering on in his new cabin. The fluorescent shock of light almost always woke him. If that didn't work, Trinity would usually find another way to wake him up. But not this time, for Trinity still lay asleep in his arms. ~This must have been the first night for her in a real bed since before my coma. I bet she didn't get one full night's rest while I was unconscious. Might as well let her sleep. ~

Neo smiled down at Trinity while he tried to find a way to get his right arm free from underneath her body. As he gave a subtle, yet strong tug, Trinity rolled her body over to face his- still asleep. Taking one look at her face, free from all pain and sadness, and Neo decided not to move until those eyes opened. As he laid his head back down and pushed gently to slide a leg between her two, Trinity's eyes slowly opened.

"Hey."

"Hi. Sleep well?" Neo asked softly.

"The best in a long time." Trinity smiled, and lifted a leg up slightly to allow Neo's to slide through since he had not yet been able to do so. "Comfy now?"

"Very." Neo answered, closing his eyes for a moment.

"Good. Because I am too."

Neo laughed before kissing her on the forehead. Before he could kiss her lips however, the door squeaked open, revealing Morpheus behind it.

"Morning you two. I trust you slept well?" A hint of a smiled played at the corners of Morpheus' mouth as he took in the sight of Neo's leg between Trinity's and his arms wrapped around her.

"Yes, thank you. Must we get up right this second?" Neo asked, purposefully trying to sound like he was complaining.

Morpheus laughed before responding, "No, not this second. It's about six in the morning. You have until 6:30 to be in the mess hall. But I'm not captain of this ship, so I'm only allowed to do this for you this once."

"Okay, I can live with that. Thank you." Neo replied as Morpheus closed the door and left.

"Where were we?" Neo asked, looking down into Trinity's blue eyes.

"Not sure, show me." Trinity replied, closing her eyes as Neo's lips made contact with her own.

Lips on lips, so long apart, were a shock of electricity. Trinity sighed into Neo's mouth as he moved his lips more firmly on hers. Taking the opportunity, Neo rolled Trinity over until his body was on top of hers. Sliding his lips down her neck to her collarbone, Neo became consumed with the need to touch, to taste, to feel. Trinity's lips kissed a slow trail of fire along his jaw and slowly down his neck before she pulled his shirt over his head.

Neo gasped as Trinity's hands slid up his chest and back, tangling themselves in his hair. Her hands created pools of fire beneath his skin, scorching him while his own hands worked their way up her shirt. Sliding a hand up her back, Neo smiled against her lips as a shudder ran down Trinity's spine. Slowly pulling her shirts off, Neo kissed her stomach and moved upward until he found a particularly sensitive spot on her neck and began sucking on it. Moaning softly, Trinity's hands found their way to Neo's pants, slowly pushing them down before Neo kicked them off- Trinity quickly followed suit.

~~*~~

As Niobe walked by Neo and Trinity's room to go down to the mess hall, she could swear she heard someone moaning in Trinity and Neo's room. Considering for a moment to go in and investigate- Niobe quickly remembered that Neo was now awake, and no longer in a coma. Speeding up her walk by with a hint of a smile playing on her lips, Niobe couldn't help but remember a certain man who used to the same things with her.

~~*~~

Neo gasped as Trinity dragged her fingers up his back. Pressing his forehead against hers, Neo rocked back and forth- losing himself in the feelings. Warm, soft, hard, tense, damp, and hot. Hot everywhere Trinity touched him. From the nail marks that she dug into his back when he climaxed to the blue mark on his neck from her kisses, he burned for her. Laying down, half on and half off her, Neo turned his head to face Trinity's. Looking at the damp hair around her face, Neo couldn't help but think how much he loved her.

"I love you too." Trinity replied.

~Guess I said it aloud. ~ Neo thought.

"Sorry about going away."

"Well, you came back. Albeit, I had to go find you in the Matrix, but we brought you back." Trinity smiled before taking his hand in her own and lifted it to her lips.

"Do we have to go now?" Neo asked, glancing around.

"Unfortunately, I think so."

"Ugh. I just want to stay here forever."

"Me too, but we can't. Come on." Trinity sat up slightly before leaning down to kiss Neo gently on the lips.

Pulling on her shirts and then her underwear and pants, Trinity turned to see Neo doing the same. As she finished putting on her second boot, Trinity turned again, only to be face to face with Neo.

"Whoa. Close aren't you?" Trinity commented, backing up slightly.

"Do we really have to go?" Neo asked, curling a finger in her hair.

"Yes. As your second-in-command, I'm ordering you to go to the mess hall." Trinity commanded, smiling slightly.

"Hmm, playing with the power over me you don't usually exert now?" Neo asked, leaning closer to Trinity as she leaned further back- this would be too easy.

"I don't play with power. I win with it." Trinity commented- quite aware of the fact that any further back and she would either fall onto her back on the bed or fall off of it- her choice.

"Really? Well win against me. I am the One, am I not?" Neo asked, leaning forward an inch more. ~Almost there. ~

"Abusing your own power too?"

"Ha. I'm the One- you can't beat me." Neo asked with mock-haughtiness.

Trinity quickly chose the option of not falling off the bed, and decided to play his game for a bit. Lying down on the bed with Neo sliding on top of her- pinning her, Trinity whispered, "Prove it."

Leaning down, Neo closed his lips over hers. As she sighed against his mouth, Neo slide his tongue into her mouth, clashing with hers. Neo slowly began a trek down her jaw and neck to her collarbone as he had done earlier- only slower this time. Coming back up, he was met by a fierce kiss. Trinity kissed down and under his chin before he found her lips once more. One last kiss and he pulled back- still pinning her.

"Satisfied?"

Trinity smiled gently before slipping out of Neo's grasp and standing up.

"What's wrong?" Neo asked, concerned he did something he shouldn't have.

"Nothing. Get ready." And with that, Trinity tossed Neo's boots at him.

Sighing, Neo submitted to the fact that Trinity had indeed beat him.
