The Matrix is not mine, the idea nor the movies. This fan fiction, however, is mine. So that means…NO STEALING IT…Plagiarizers….Bah, who needs 'um?! Anyways, this is my fan fiction, so please enjoy it! Also, a warning to those who are homophobic and/or have any religious things against two male characters to be together in a relationship, don't read this if you don't like this idea. And for any small children, don't have your parents come and flame me about "HOMOSEXUALITY IS SATAN WORSHIP!" And shit like that, I don't need it, nor do I want it, Thank You, and Have a Nice Day!

I sigh as I leant up against the cool wall of a new apartment building, just another sleepless night, ever since I had become "The One"; sleep was one of the rare things I was able to get now, I just wish I was able to sleep without having those damned nightmares. How long has it been…since I went into the Matrix? No one goes in there anymore, some have even had their plugs removed, Trinity and Morpheus for example.

I couldn't bring myself to get them removed, what if we missed someone, there would be no one to go in and show them the truth…At least that was what I told myself, and everyone else around at the time. Damn, I can feel myself reach into my long black trench coat for the packet of fags. I really should quit, but the nicotine intake is the only thing keeping me awake right now.

I light one up and put the packet back into the pocket. For some reason…I-I want to go back into the Matrix, to, ya know, see how things are. Now that there is no power to it, it should be relying on its internal power source. I take a long drag from my cigarette and walk down the road, the only lights coming from a few lonely street lamps, and the cig sticking out of my mouth.

The streets are empty for the most part, only a few people out for a late night walk; maybe they can't sleep, maybe for the same reasons as myself. Nightmares. These nightmares are what keep me awake. I glance down at my watch. 2:00 A.M. Yup, this is going to be a long night. I find myself heading downtown, where the few places you can go to get back into the Matrix. Illegal, yes, but people don't seem to mind. I used to patrol the areas where they did this, it could be so easy to get into it myself. I look up at a building that my feet have lead me to. Yup, one of those buildings. I have finished my cig, the but being the only part left and I throw it to the ground.

My feet lead me to the door, I place my hand on the knob and attempt to turn it. Locked. I guess I'll have to do this the hard way, I pull out my hand gun from its back holster and point it at the knob. Who needs a key? Not me, I pull the trigger and the knob is no longer there, the door swings open and I find myself walking in.

The place has been unused for quite some time, dust picking up as I walk through and towards one of the seats and computer. One last time? Sure, why not…I turn on the computer and type in my desired location. My old apartment. Well this certainly brings back some nostalgia… I look around, it looks the same as I left it, only one minor problem. Everything is glitching, lagging. Well, at least everything that is about ten foot away from me, its like I am powering part of the Matrix. "Whoa", I hear myself mutter as I look around.
