Ok, this contains a sex scene, but it's moderately mild to what I've previously written. If this kind of stuff offends anyone in anyway I've given you the heads up, so please don't get cross with me. I'll mark the sex area with lines so you can skip it if you so wish. Not my best work, but I hope you still enjoy. xxx


The experience was a complete shock to Neo, all of a sudden Trinity was apologising for everything she had ever done, crying over him, desperate to get his approval. He wasn't sure whether this could even be the real Trinity because she was so emotional, but he guessed after all the years of holding back and locking herself up inside everything had boiled over and released at once. He kissed the top of her head, holding her in his arms. As her breathing settled and it seemed that she had cried all that she could, Neo helped Trinity up, replacing the phone on the hook and then handing it to her as it began to ring. He kept her mobile though, and instead of answering the phone himself when it rang for a second time, he dialled the number for the operating station, telling Tank that he'd phone when he wanted an exit.

Although Neo wanted nothing more than to return home to Trinity, he felt like he had to check that he was the one. He exited the shop out into the empty street, and then with a sudden surge of power he took flight. He shifted his vision so that he could see the codes, but now it was different; he could mould the code, change it and shape it however he wanted. It made him wonder…

High above the clouds Neo pulled out Trinity's phone again, 'Tank, can you bring me into the construct and send Trinity in.'

'Sure thing, but how the hell can you do this shit!' Tank exclaimed.

'Because of Trinity,' Neo admitted as the sky turned to white ground in the construct. Trinity appeared next to him, turning and hugging him tightly, minding her broken wrist that she had not chosen to fix. Neo gently took her arm, the one that was broken, and held it out in front of her. He asked her, 'will you let me fix it?'

Trinity nodded, unsure of what was going to happen. Staying in the coding view, Neo used his hands to gently unwind Trinity's code in her wrist, and then put it back together, instantly healing her. She kept her eyes closed as the process was in place, seeing her arm being pulled apart but not feeling anything. By the time Neo had finished it was as good as before her fall.

'Is it ok?' Neo asked Trinity.

Trinity nodded, gazing into Neo's eyes, tears brimming in her own again. Neo saw this and said, 'maybe we should go home.'

Trinity agreed, saying, 'Tank, bring us out.'

Morpheus unplugged Neo while Dozer unplugged Trinity. Although the entire rest of the crew were in the same room, watching them, Neo and Trinity kissed slowly, keeping it as tasteful as possible. When they pulled back, they came back together in an embrace, hugging each other tightly. Neo whispered, 'I love you, Trinity.'

'I love you too,' Trinity breathed back, still clinging to Neo.

'Neo, Trinity, please come with me,' Morpheus said, leading them through to the medical bay. He closed the door after them, letting Neo and Trinity both sit up on one of the tables. He stood before them, asking Neo first, 'where were you shot?'

'My heart,' Neo said.

'We need to check that you haven't done any internal damage, so can you please remove your tops.'

Neo slowly peeled his tops off; taking care not to harm the cut that he knew was there. Trinity moved off the bed and helped Neo to lie back, setting up the x-ray equipment for Morpheus. The results showed that there was no real damage, and the small gash on Neo's chest was the only evidence of his injury. Amazingly he had healed when inside the matrix, just like he had been able to heal Trinity. Once finished examining and cleaning up Neo, Trinity sat back on the table next to him. She grabbed a knife that was on one of the trays near the bed, and carefully cut off her cast. Morpheus x-rayed her wrist as well, finding that she too as fully healed.

'I don't know how you did it Neo, I don't know if you know yet, but you are the one. No matter what the oracle has said to you, this is your destiny,' Morpheus said, and then allowed a smile to grace his face as he said, 'I'll make sure no one disturbs you two tonight, as I have a feeling that you'll be fulfilling another destiny.' He left the room, leaving Neo and Trinity sitting awkwardly together, Neo's face flooded red.

Trinity said slowly, 'do you want to come back to my quarters?'

'Sure,' Neo smiled, picking up his tops as he followed her out and along the corridors to her quarters. There were no locks in any of the rooms on board the ship, but Trinity managed to wedge her chair under the wheel of the door, keeping it safely closed. Neo dropped his tops into a pile on the floor, sitting on the bed next to Trinity, unbuckling his boots. He noticed that Trinity had made no effort to undo her own boots, so he leaned down and unbuckled hers as well, slipping them off of her small feet.

He placed a delicate kiss on her cheek as he sat back up, telling her, 'we don't have to do anything if you don't want.'

Trinity gave him a look as if he was insane, replying, 'Neo, I love you and I'm ready, if you are…'

'Yeah, I just don't want to pressure you into anything, I mean, it has been an emotional day for both of us.'

'Neo, can we talk for a bit?' Trinity pulled her legs up, folding them underneath herself. She stretched her arms, laying her hands flat out in front of her.

'Of course,' Neo replied, turning to sit cross legged opposite her on the bed. He asked her, 'what is it?' taking her hands in his.

Trinity breathed heavily, and then told him, 'for the past four months or so we've been in a relationship, but you've always given and I've always taken…'

Neo could see that this was hard for Trinity, so he quickly stopped her, 'Trinity, I know, I know now everything you've been going through, and I love you even more now. I didn't know you were going through much inside, but I don't care about any of that now. You saved my life, Trinity, and I couldn't love you more if I tried…'


Trinity cut Neo off this time, kissing him passionately, kneeling over his legs so she could reach him with more ease. Her fingers ran up his spine, over the harsh cold metal plugs of his back, leaving trails of warmth. Neo placed his hands on Trinity's waist under her tops, massaging her gently.

As they drew back from the kiss, a strand of saliva still joining their lips, Trinity leaned in again, placing a gentle kiss on the corner of his mouth, licking up the saliva. Neo lay back, bringing Trinity forward to sit on his waist, just over his hips. She shifted slightly to get more comfortable, smiling when accidentally rubbing Neo and causing him to emit a soft moan. Her fingers traced the smooth curves of his muscular chest, stopping just as she reached the gash over his heart. She bent over, kissing the small wound, laving it with her tongue. Neo gasped, making Trinity look up into his eyes from her bent position over his chest, afraid she had hurt him. She stroked Neo's face carefully, pushing back his sweaty hair from his forehead. She whispered, 'are you ok?'

'Yeah,' Neo told her, grasping her hands in his, 'it's really hot in here; you must be boiling.' He flashed her a smile, as she responded with the same, bringing his hands to the hem of her tops, letting him begin to pull them up. Slowly he pushed them further and further up, revealing more and more of her ivory skin. She closed her eyes, anticipating his reaction to her body, scared that he might not like what he saw. She had never considered herself to be beautiful, though everyone insisted she was, but she still didn't believe it, although Neo had always believed she was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. This was different though, he was going to see her naked body, but now it was too late as Neo dropped her tops to the floor, leaving her sitting on him in her bra only on her top half.

Neo was silent for some time, leaving Trinity fearing the worst, and it wasn't any better when she finally opened her eyes, seeing Neo below her with his jaw dropped and eyes glazed over. She didn't know that she had stunned Neo to silence, she thought that he didn't like what he saw, so she climbed off of him, laying at his side, and was about to try and cover herself back up before Neo stopped her, 'what's wrong, Trinity?' He rolled on top of her, looking down into her eyes, trying to find reasoning in her previous actions.

Trinity turned her head away from him, breaking the eye contact. She felt terrible inside, as if this was all that Neo had wanted her for and now it would be over. Neo's voice was shaky as he told her, 'if you don't want to do this we don't have to.'

'Why would you want to?' Trinity scathed, still not looking at him.

She had caught him by surprise, and he wondered if he had done anything wrong. He touched her chin, turning her head to face him, and then gently stroked her cheek, saying, 'because I love you, and you're amazingly gorgeous.'

'What?' Trinity said, looking at him properly, fires burning in her eyes.

'I love you and you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.'

'More beautiful than the woman in the red dress?' Trinity asked, a hint of playfulness in her tone.

'Trinity, there is no point comparing yourself to that digital tart; you're real and you're more beautiful than she could ever dream to be.'

'Correct answer,' Trinity smiled, reaching up to kiss Neo again.

He asked, 'are you sure you want this?'

'Definitely,' Trinity replied, kissing his neck.

As more clothes were shed, sacred silences were held only broken by words of undying love. Caresses were made, kisses took place, their love was shared from one to the other. Then there was them moment of unity, two becoming one, and there it was, the first part of the prophesy fulfilled in an action of love so holy to them that it was an act of worship.

Trinity was reduced to a babbling mess, her head tossing from side to side as she exploded in time with Neo, 'I'm so sorry, Neo, I'm sorry. I almost lost you…I never would have told you…I'm sorry.'

Neo took Trinity's head in his hands, steadying her as her orgasm faded, leaving her with tears streaming down her face, staring up at Neo. He kissed away her tears delicately, making her shudder beneath him. He rolled off to her side, pulling her tight to his chest, her warm naked body pressed against his, both slick with sweat. She cried into his shoulder clutching at him. He stroked her hair slowly, calming her down. He kissed the top of her head, pulling a sheet up over them to stop the evaporation of their sweat making them cold. Trinity's sobs settled and she fell asleep in Neo's arms, still clinging to him for warmth, comfort and love.


Neo sighed heavily, holding on to the woman he loved, unable to understand why she was blaming herself, why she felt so guilty, why she had to apologize to him. He wanted to tell her how much she had done for him and that he would always be in her debt, she would never need his forgiveness. He watched her in the dark, nestled against his chest in his arms, just lay there looking at her, feeling her heart beating against his, a solid and delicate reminder that she was alive and with him. The steady rhythm of her pulse and her soft breathing soon brought sleep to Neo, letting him escape the harsh reality for just a few hours.

He awoke upon feeling Trinity moving in his arms the next morning, moving back slightly and then resting her head back on his chest. He asked into the morning darkness, 'Trin? Are you awake?'

She pulled back from him completely, disentangling their bodies from one another. She whispered back, 'yeah, did I wake you? Sorry, I didn't mean to.' She apologized without waiting for his answer, already knowing what it would be.

'It's ok,' Neo said, and then questioned, 'what time is it?'

'The water came on five minutes ago, so about 5 past 5.'

'Oh ok,' Neo responded finally, finding Trinity's hand under the sheets and holding it in his own, stroking the palm softly with his thumb. Trinity sighed heavily, shuffling back closer to Neo. She started, 'Neo, I'm sorry about last night, I started…babbling a lot of stuff…'

'I know, and we can just forget about it if you want.'

Trinity nodded, and then realizing that Neo probably could only just make out that her head was moving, confirmed her answer, 'ok.' Pulling her hand back from his she told him, 'I'm going to have a shower, can you move the chair away from the door while I'm in the bathroom.'

'Sure,' Neo said, trying to make out her figure in the darkness as she headed through to the bathroom, flicking on the main light and the bathroom light together, before closing the bathroom door behind her, so he only just got a glimpse of her from behind. He almost laughed at himself that he was trying to watch her so intently like this, he knew what she looked like, he knew much about her, but still she amazed him. He got up, stretching in the dimly lit room, and then shoved on his clothes, planning to shower later upon finding clean garments. He headed to the door, carefully removing the chair back from under the wheel handle, and placing the chair back where it was originally. Then he sat and waited on Trinity's bed, looking around her small room, which was actually one of the biggest on the ship. The room had the one cot that was larger than a single, but couldn't quite stretch to being called a double, though it could fit two people on if they slept closely, and joined to this room there was a bathroom; a privilege above lower ranks. On the shelves and racks that were just above head height on the walls were several books and bits of bedding. All of her clothes were stored in a hamper across the room from the bed, leaving a wide enough gap for one person to get through.

When Trinity came back through, fully dressed and ready for the day, she gave Neo a small smile before leading him out of her room and along to the mess hall. Everyone looked up at them when they entered, each of them with a kind of smirking smile on their face apart from Morpheus and Dozer. Neo's eyes and expression displayed slight fear and uncertainty of what was going on, but Trinity remained emotionless, unreadable to each person in the room. Of course, Morpheus had spoken to the crew about Neo and Trinity's now obvious relationship, and warned them not to force the couple to come out publicly over this. The crew had agreed, but they each knew that some minor teasing was in store, I mean, how could they resist?

Neo sat down nervously at the table next to Mouse, while Trinity got herself and him a tray of food each, brining it over to him and then sitting down on his other side. They both ate along with the others, Trinity ignoring the glances that she and Neo received every so often, Neo unable to ignore them, so gradually turning pinker as the meal went on. It was a rare occurrence for the entire crew to be silent whilst eating; usually Mouse would have made a new program that he was boasting about, or acting role of digital pimp, or Morpheus would be discussing with Trinity the plans for the day or the shift organization that she was to sort out that evening, or Tank speaking wistfully of Zion, encouraging the excitement inside everyone to be going back home soon. There was always something going on, but not today; everyone was far too interested in how Neo and Trinity were acting around each other. Like usual, it was Morpheus to break the silence, 'Trinity, I plan on us taking route AFH76 then heading along 71HD to gate 2…'

'Where are we now?' Trinity interrupted him quickly.

'Crossroads of AFH76 and IMH345.'

'That should take us a week to get back to Zion; we have enough charge to last two weeks approximately, so that should be fine.'

It amazed everyone how Morpheus and Trinity could discuss things like that, knowing all the routes of the sewers, knowing their distance, being able to work out time like that. No one else bothered learning that kind of stuff; the screens up in the cockpit displayed a map and a compass and even pointed out possible routes, so knowing all this off by heart was not necessary.

Morpheus requested, 'please can you draw up another shift plan for the next week, I believe the current one ends at midnight.'

'I'll get it drawn up this evening,' Trinity promised.

Morpheus nodded in acceptance, getting up to place his tray and spork in the sink. He left, leaving one request, 'Dozer, please will you join me in the cockpit as soon as possible so we can start taking this course back home.'

'Yes, sir,' Dozer replied, before Morpheus left entirely. A few minutes after their captain had left, Dozer followed.

As soon as he had gone, everyone stopped eating and looked up at Neo and Trinity; they looked up in return once the crew had got their attention. No one said anything, and Neo nervously swallowed the last sporkful of goop from his tray. Tank began to say, 'So…'

Before Trinity cut him off, 'I don't have time for this shit.' She chucked her spork and tray into the sink along with Neo's, and then headed out of the room, planning on getting some of her work done after checking things over with Morpheus. Neo was quick to follow, seeing the questions coming at him; no one was afraid to ask him about what had happened between Trinity and himself.

Up in the cockpit Morpheus was talking to Trinity as Neo came up the last few rungs of the ladder, 'Trinity, I'd like you to have a virus and bug scan just to make sure you're fully healthy. It might be linked to why you've been passing out.'

'Morpheus, I have a lot of work to do within the next week and I don't have time to waste,' Trinity said firmly.

'It only takes half an hour, and I will insist if you do not volunteer.'

'I have a lot of paperwork to do before we arrive in Zion, Morpheus, else we will not be allowed to leave there again once docked. It could take me some time to do, and I have other things to do as well, like the shift plan and repair checks.'

'Please, Trinity, don't make this difficult for yourself or me, I think Neo would also appreciate it if you had it done.'

She softened inside at the sound of Neo's name, and thought it over for a moment. If it would make him happy then maybe she should just get it over and done with, it could be part of her resolution to give more and not always take. She agreed, 'ok, but don't blame me if I'm unable to complete all my work.'

She headed down to the core, but Morpheus held Neo back, 'Neo, wait here for a moment, I need to talk to you briefly.'

'Ok,' Neo said, and remained where he was.

Once Trinity was well out of hearing range he spoke to the younger man, 'Trinity is going to be very busy over the next week, and as much as you might feel compelled to help her, you must allow her to do this herself. By all means support her, but don't get in her way. It is important that she gets this work done on her own. It's also been known for her temper to fly and for her stress levels to rise when she's working under this kind of pressure, so don't take it to heart if she gets annoyed at you.'

'I'll bear that in mind,' Neo said, and then proceeded after Trinity.
