The end of the day came quickly, and Neo, exhausted from both working on the ship and from trying to get a chance to talk with Trinity, walked straight to his room-correction- their room. Before he could open the door though, it opened and Trinity walked out, her belongings in hand.

Trying to hide his fear, Neo asked, "Trinity, why are you taking your stuff out of our room?"

"Morpheus said the room was too small for the both of us, so we've been moved to the largest room at the end of the hall. About six rooms away from anyone else." Trinity answered, avoiding his eyes. Neo quickly walked into his room and gathered his things before following Trinity.

The moment Trinity closed the door to their new sleeping quarters, Neo asked, "Okay, what did I do?"

"Neo," Trinity sighed, unsure where to go. "I don't know. I've always been known as the cold fighter who never trusted a man, and did her job without complaints and did it well. Not that I have anything to complain about, but I've just never been in a situation like this before, and these feelings, are making me so confused. But I just don't care anymore. If this is..."

"Shh, it's okay." Neo kissed her forehead gently and pulled away. "It's called a relationship and..." Neo paused as Trinity swatted him. "The most important things to make it work are trust, honesty, and love. Jealousy shows distrust of the other person, but I think... I don't know- I don't want to go to any presumptions."

"I was jealous, you're right. But I think it's mostly because we have a relationship, a physical relationship way past the stages the rest of the relationship is. And I think that's mostly because of your death, and the Oracle."

"Hey, I don't love Mace, or Trish, or Devlan- though she's not too interested in the opposite sex anyway, you're more her type." Neo smiled at the shocked look on Trinity's face. "But I love you, and that's all that matters."

"I know you do, it's just hard, and so right at the same time. It's just so overwhelming... Devlan likes me?"

"Uh huh, she's gay- and she told me she liked you, that kinda helped with my knowing."

"Does she know about 'us'?"

"It seems that everyone except Devlan and Strife know. Oddly enough- Strife likes you too. What is it about you that's so appealing?" Neo smiled evilly as he leaned his head down.

"I'm not sure."

"I think I know."

"Oh really? What then?" Trinity asked back- purposefully stalling.

"I may be those eyes, so fierce- but filled with a passion for life, or your lips. I haven't chosen yet."

Before Trinity could reply, Neo closed his mouth over hers gently and laid her down on the bed, losing himself in her body, her movements, her reactions to his touch, everything. The moment he stroked her bare back, she would arch it, push her body closer to his, sending him over the edge. Only Trinity's self-control, however weak, would stop him from going too fast. The sheets wrapped around them as they melted together, falling blissfully asleep in each other's arms.

"Everyone down to the core, we're bringing her out." Morpheus said the moment Neo entered the kitchen behind Trinity.

The girl looked so small, so frail, yet the look in her eyes caused the most sadness for Neo- the pain. The pain and the fear.

The well-known entry sentence by Morpheus was spoken, and Trish carried her with Morpheus' help to the med lab.
