Ok, here is Neo's point of view for ya. Enjoy!

I didn't want to tell her, but I appreciated her coming with me more than anything. Then I realized the heavy task at hand. This was going to get ugly, I knew it. An alarm bell went off in my head. I panicked inside.

"I'm scared, Trin."

It had come out of my mouth before I could stop it. The look in her eyes, though, told me that it was ok. She paused ever so slightly, and then said something I will never forget.

"So am I," I breathed easier, "Took me ten minutes to buckle up one boot. But I'll tell you something. Six hours ago I told the Merovingian that I was ready to give anything and everything for you. Do you know what's changed in the past 6 hours?"

I wasn't really thinking clearly. Tears had been threatening to pour out of my eyes ever since she had walked into the room.

"No," I said, just so I could hear her say the answer I wanted to hear.

"Nothing."

My love for her bubbled over and I couldn't contain it. I pulled her in for a quick kiss and then I embraced her lovingly.

If only time could stop. If only we didn't have to go through what was coming all too fast. A drop fell onto my neck as she buried her face into my shoulder.

Hate flamed up inside of me. I hated this war, the machines, anything that was causing the pain Trinity was feeling at the moment. I just wanted to make everything go away just for her.

Tears were sliding down her cheeks as she pulled away.

"I'm sorry," she said between sniffs, "I shouldn't break down like that. We have more important things to worry about."

The words "I'm sorry" affected me way down into my soul. They caused such a pain inside of me that I couldn't explain.

"Don't be sorry," I said, "Don't." I couldn't hear those words without thinking about the most terrifying moment of my life. The moment I thought I had lost the only woman I had ever loved.

I had to feel her against me. I needed to reassure myself that she was still here by my side. That kiss was one we both wouldn't soon forget.

Her tears mingled with my own. After we separated I quickly turned around so I could clear my face. I didn't want her to know I was scared, it would only worry her.

"So, uh, lets get going to the Logos," I recovered.

"Yeah."

Moments later we were saying our goodbyes to the crew. It was one of the most painful experiences of my life. I knew that this was the last time I was seeing these people, my family. I never wanted to turn and leave.

Anger and resentment towards the war flamed up again. All of this pain just because of some disagreement.

Trinity looked to be on the verge of tears all the while we were boarding the Logos. I couldn't bear seeing her like this.

As the door to the Logos was closing, I saw the faces of the crew one last time. A lump blocked my throat.

Then Trinity turned to me. "So, here we go." I heard her voice quiver. To give her support, I looped my arms around her waist.

I looked deep into her eyes, down to her very soul, and understood something. The painful lump in my throat made it hard to speak.

"You are scared."

She took a deep breath in preparation, "I'm not going to lie. The look on your face tells me that you don't think we are coming back. As scared as I am, I know that you need me. I need you just as much. Just remember, you are never going to lose me," she put my hand on her heart. I felt the wonderful rhythmic beat of it, and it fell perfectly in sync with my own. "This belongs to you."

I nearly had a meltdown. That kiss broke down any barriers that were hiding anything between her and me. She looked at me after we broke away, and I let a single tear fall.

At that moment we were forever connected. Nothing in the world could tear us apart. Nothing.

Hope ya liked! Just a random story. Kind of a common idea, I know, but still, I enjoyed writing it. Thanks for reading!
