Trinity sat on her bed, her legs pulled up to her chest as she looked around the walls. She had pictures of the crew before, everyone was smiling.
Her eyes fell on to Cypher. She closed her eyes and sighed. "I'll have to take that down." It hurt her. He looked so happy in that picture and now look what happened to him.
She opened her eyes and then looked at a man that looked distant. That was one of 'the ones' that Morpheus had found before finding Neo. He of course had died. Trin shook her head and laid her head on her arms as they rested on her knees.

Neo waited outside Trinity’s room. Hands dangling limply near his sides. He stood outside the wrought iron door, swallowing through a parched throat. He had been worrying about his love. Worrying about her safety.
Christ. He couldn’t stop. When she entered the Matrix, it was twofold. A worrying fear attacking his stomach, chopping his legs from underneath him. So worried - something, someone would take Trinity from him. So...
He needed to ask her something. Beg something of her. But didn’t know how to, without looking possessive. Without seeming to trap her.
Neo lifted a tentative hand. Not quite a fist. Gently tapped the hard metal, producing a weak knocking sound.

Trinity looked at her door. "Come in." She said running a hand under her eyes to get rid of the sadness she felt for the friends she had lost.
She straightened out her legs and then leaned her head back against the wall as she waited.

With tentative movements, Neo gently opened the door. He stepped just inside the premises, staring in Trinity’s direction. She sat on the bed. Some traces of… Sadness. Touching her eyes. Concern overtook the worry. He wanted to take her in his arms. Ask her to tell him what provoked the upset. Reassure his love.
Neo didn’t want to be overbearing.
He instead took another step inside the chamber. Quietly and carefully closing the door behind. Producing utmost privacy.
“Are you okay?”

Trinity looked up at Neo. "Yes. I am." She looked back at the picture. "I'm going to have to take that down, Cypher......" She trailed off and then looked at him.
She scooted over and pated the bed next to her, telling him that he could sit down.

His eyes flickered towards the photograph. He recalled Cypher’s actions. Not feeling angry, just saddened.
At the proffered seat, Neo’s approach grew more apparent. His weary boots clomped against muffled metal.
He reached the bed. Seated himself close. His hand touched her shoulder, the fingers entwining with the grainy fabric. Clutching as though for protection.
His eyes regarded the dull ground.
“I need to ask something.”

Trinity watched him. SHe put a hand on to his and then another into his other one. "What is is Neo?" She asked watching him.
She raised a hand and ran it gently down his face as she watched him.

The hand contact sent reassuring warmth hindering his doubt. Real. Solid. There. She was still there.
He glanced upwards, eyes meeting her own.
“You know… I’m scared, Trin,” he whispered hoarsely. “Scared I'll lose you. I think about the others… Those plugged into the Matrix. Or the Zionhites. And I don’t fear… As much as I fear for your safety.”

Trinity looked at him. Her eyes looked into his own.
"Neo, I know how you feel, but nothing is going to happen to me." She then brought him to her chest in a long hug.

He deepened the embrace, outstretched hands rubbing her back. His chin touched her shoulder, and he breathed in the smell of her hair and clothes. Fresh and alive, despite the staleness of living beneath a blackened sun.
“I don’t know, Trin,” he whispered. “You’re strong. I know. But the Matrix is… Unpredictable. Anything could happen to you.”

Trinity looked at Neo. She cupped his face gently. "Neo....." She sighed softly. She wanted him to be okay. "What is it you want me to do?" She asked gently.
