Author's Notes: Well, it's been a week so here's the next chapter. I won't keep you waiting. Hope you like! XD!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters mentioned in this story. They all belong to Lego and/or anyone else who owns them. This fic also contains yaoi, slash, and/or shounen-ai which all mean boy/boy love. If you don't like this sort of thing, I suggest you leave before you hurt yourself. Also, the Toa will be in the human forms that I have created for them and this is pretty much a complete AU. No mention of the Toa will be made during this whole fic so if you're gonna get made about that as well, leave already. The action and the stuff about Mata Nui will be featured in the sequel. XD! (Damn that's a long disclaimer.)

"Always"
By: Green Devil
Part I "Promise Me"

3 years later . . .

"Lets see, you're new here right?"

"Yes, I just transferred."

"Well then, Onua was it? Why don't you go ahead and have a seat next to him?" The teacher pointed to a green-haired boy seated next to a window.

Onua nodded and sat in the seat, but the other boy took no notice of him and continued to stare out the window longingly. Onua took the chance to study the boy's features and found that he was quite handsome.

The other's green hair was cut short and slicked back against his head while his bangs jutted out wildly to frame his face, each tip a lime green color which matched his eyes. Two gold rings adorned his right ear while the rest of his wardrobe consisted of an oversized dark green hoodie, a white shirt underneath, baggy black cargo pants, and a pair of green Converse.

'I wonder if something's wrong?' Onua thought as he continued to stare at the boy. He had his chin resting in his palm and was facing the slightly open window, a gentle breeze flying in to play with his hair.

A small smile formed on the other's lips, but his lime green eyes filled with an unbearable sadness. The smile disappeared and was replaced with a frown as he seemed to return to reality. Onua quickly averted his gaze to the front of the classroom to act as if he was paying attention.

The green-haired boy turned to the other with a confused look on his face. Onua noticed the other's stare so turned to greet him.

"Um, hi. My name's Onua. I just transferred here. Uh, what's your name?"

The younger boy did nothing in response, but his confusion passed. His lips parted to reply, but instead he turned away and went back to his original position of staring out the window.

'Was it something I said?' Onua wondered, frowning. He had hoped to become friends with the boy, but it seemed the other didn't think much of him. He wouldn't even give him his name. Onua wouldn't give up though. 'Maybe he'll be in a better mood at lunch?'

Onua left the other alone until the bell rung for lunch. The sound of the bell startled the lime-eyed boy out of his trance-like state and he quickly grabbed his things and hurried out the classroom door. Onua followed as best he could as the other weaved his way elegantly through the crowd of students, but found himself bumping into quite a few people along the way.

'I wonder where he's going. The cafeteria's the other way, isn't it?' Onua thought as he continued to follow the boy who had succeeded in catching his interest, even if it was unintentional.

The green-haired boy glanced behind him. That new boy was following him, and he didn't like it. 'What does he want?' he questioned in his mind. He did not wish to confront the black-haired boy in the middle of the hallway where everyone could hear so he led him outside and turned on his heel to face the other once they were out the door.

"Uh . . .Hi?" Onua cursed himself. He shouldn't have followed so closely.

"Why are you following me?" Lime green eyes gazed uncertainly into emerald as thousands of thoughts raced through his mind.

"Well, uh, you looked lonely so I thought I could keep you company. That is, if you'd let me." Onua replied.

The now noticeably shorter boy said nothing for a few seconds, trying to figure out if Onua was being sincere. Others have given the same excuse, but he always found the lust hidden in their gaze and denied them the chance. He had no intention of allowing anyone who only wanted his body to be allowed into his already messed up life and screw around with his emotions.

However, he found no ill intent in Onua's dark green eyes so took a step back to get a better look at the boy. Either he was really good at hiding things, or he really just wanted to be friends.

Onua was fairly handsome with short black hair pulled back into a low ponytail along with two bangs falling parallel on his forehead stopping just before they reached his dark green eyes. He wore a black sleeveless T-shirt, which showed off some finely toned muscles, gray loose fitting jeans, and a pair of black steel toe boots. He definitely looked good, but sad, lime colored eyes knew better than to judge by looks alone.

'He may have looked mean, but inside he was just a big softie.' He smiled at the memory but shook his head and continued to search the emerald eyes before him.

"Um, if you don't wanna hang out with me, that's okay. I'll go. It's just, I'm new here and I thought you could maybe show me around . . ."

"I'm sorry, I can't do that."

"Why not?"

"I have my reasons."

Onua raised an eyebrow questionably, but after seeing the tears well up in the other's lowered gaze, he nodded in understanding. "Well, that's okay. Can we at least be friends?"

Once he was sure the tears wouldn't run down his face, the green-haired boy looked back up. "Your name's Onua, right?" The emerald-eyed boy nodded. "Well then, nice to meet you. My name's Lewa. I'd be glad to have you as my friend."

Onua smiled. 'Lewa . . .A beautiful name for a beautiful person.' He thought with a smile. "I'd be glad to be your friend as well."

"There's just one thing you have to promise me . . ."

"And what would that be?"

"You have to promise . . .that you won't fall in love with me. I have someone that I'm waiting for. I can't, won't be with anyone but him."

Onua froze. 'Can I really promise that?' His emerald eyes saw the sadness that seemed to live in the other's eyes, for it never seemed to dissipate entirely, and sighed. "I . . .promise."

Lewa gave a small smile; eyes still filled with sadness. "Thank you, for being honest. I've seen my fair share of dishonesty these past few years."

Onua frowned. "Well, I'll be sure to always be honest with you. I believe that if you can't trust a friend to be honest, you can't trust them to be your friend."

"That's good to know." Lewa took a step forward, but his vision blurred and he winced slightly. 'No, not now.' His head began pounding and the world began to spin around him. He fell forward, unconscious, into Onua's arms.

Onua gasped and held the boy tightly so as not to let him fall to the ground. 'What happened?' He maneuvered Lewa's body so that his head was lying against his chest. 'At least this part of the school is empty.' Onua looked around and spotted a greenhouse a few feet from where they were. 'Is that where he was headed? He does look like someone who would like nature.'

The black-haired boy carefully lifted Lewa in his arms, finding that he barely weighed anything, and made his way to the greenhouse, hoping no one was there so that he didn't have to explain anything.

'He's so thin . . .Is that why he collapsed?' Onua looked to the one in his arms with a frown. 'Lewa, don't worry. I'll take care of you. I won't leave no matter what you say.' He pushed open the door to the greenhouse and looked around for a suitable spot to lay down the other boy.

Finding a bed of grass and flowers, Onua carefully laid Lewa down, not wanting to leave him on the concrete floor. He brushed aside a lock of green hair, sat, and waited.

A/N: A short chapter, I know, but at least it was a bit longer than the prologue. Basically, all the chapter's are gonna be kinda short, but that means I'll actually be able to get them out without making you wait so long. I will probably get a new chapter up every week so be on the look out for the next chappie! Please review! XD!

Also, I've created a Yahoo! Group called Bionicle Slash. Can you guess what it's for? Yes, it's for archiving Bionicle fan fiction featuring yaoi, slash, and/or shounen-ai. If you're interested, come join. I'll have my fics up there as well. The link's in my profile since it won't show up here.
