Work Text:
Bluepill/Thomas Anderson
- Thomas would be too absorbed in his double life as a programmer and as Neo for a relationship, at the start. But then he met you.
- It was nothing at first, but as time went on, he noticed you were always on his mind, one way or another. Being lectured by his boss, writing code? Anything? He wondered what you were up to. It drove him crazy.
- He would try to deny his feelings. Definitely not the one to confess first. He'd sit around wallowing until you confessed, and even then he'd be like a deer caught in headlights.
- If you weren't a hacker like him, he'd be more worried. Now he had to factor in his actions causing you harm, in some way.
- Worry or no worry, that wouldn't change what he felt about you. He'd be attentive whenever you talked. He would ask about your day. If you were tired, he would rub your shoulders without hesitation.
- He would almost always be the little spoon, unless you wanted it otherwise.
- Sometimes he'd surprise you by renting movies to watch together at home. Blankets, microwave popcorn and snuggles should go without saying.
- Once he warmed up to you, he’d be very needy. He'd love morning kisses and hugs. His love language? Words of affirmation.
- Slowly, he would start taking better care of his clothes, hair, appearance to impress you.
- He'd try his best to be a good partner, searching for “cute gifts for valentine's day” and the like because my man is CLUELESS.
- His work being as it is, you might find him sleeping at his desk more often than not. He would be flustered in the morning, noticing the blanket you'd put on his shoulders.
- Sometimes when you do that he wakes up. But he keeps his eyes closed anyway, just barely holding back a smile.
- He'd be willing to learn and try new things, just for you.
Redpill/Neo
- Outside of the Matrix, Neo would more or less be just as loving as he was inside of it.
- Only he'd be much, much more protective. He wouldn't want you to run into trouble. It was always an uneasy feeling he had.
- He would train with you when he could manage it. Neo always learnt things from you, and taught you things in return.
- Don't be surprised if you wake up and find him holding you tight, he'll be doing that a lot more now.
- You're one of the many reasons he wants to end the war and save humanity, he would never want to see you hurt.
- Whenever he slept, he slept with the hope that he could wake up to your face the next morning.
- Forget being “The One-” He wants to be the one for you more than anything.
