It's been forty, minutes so I start head out. I'm stopped half way there by Morpheus.
"Where are you going?" he questions.
"To get some air. It's too confined in here," I answer, a little too hurried.
"Are you alright?" why does everyone ask me that?
"Of course, just a little nerve wracked still," I tihnk I can trust HIM with that.
"Alright," he walks past me and I continue, unhindered the rest of the way off the ship.
Kid's there already, early like me.
"I never want to be late," he explains.
"I never am late," I answer.
He laughs a little, "You're really not what they say you are."
My eyebrow raises, "And what do they say I am?"
"A monster," he says it so straightforward.
"So, what did you want?" he asks.
"Just to let us go exploring," he shrugs.
"They'll see me," a blunt answer.
"So?" he takes my hand and drags me.
He enventually starts to mumble, "cookies need love like everything does…""Pardon?" I stop dead in my tracks.
"It's something the Oracle told me once," he turns, "she said that everything needs love."
"I don't," I shake it off.
"Of course you do," he places a hand on my shoulder, "everything does, no matter who or what you are."
"A killer does not need love," I growl.
"No, but a man does, and that's what you are now, a man," I hate to admit he's right.
"I'm no man," I won't admit it out loud.
"Yes," he forces me to look at him, "You are. No matter what you want to believe.
"Who could love someone like me?" I pull out of his grip.
"Me," he plants a light kiss on my cheek and walks away, leaving me a short distance from the ship, breathless.
Neo comes up behind me, "What are you doing?"
Without turning around I answer, "Getting accepted."
