Author's Notes: Yay! Spring Break's here! Thank you great yaoi god! You know what this means? Three whole weeks for me to work on my fics! Hooray! I'll be gone from the 10th to the 13th though because I'm gonna go visit my sister over in College Station. I won't have access to a computer, but I'll be writing. Twelve hours of staring at nothing but desert gets boring after a while you know. Heh. Well, next chapter's here! 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 II "A Broken Heart"
"Here, I bought this for you."
"Oh Makuta, it's beautiful! But, why?"
"Do I have to have a reason to buy a gift for my best friend?"
"Well, no, but—"
"But nothing. I want you to have it so that we'll always remember each other, even if we part. Look, it snaps apart so that I can wear the piece with your name and you'll wear the one with mine." Makuta hooked the chain behind the other's neck.
Lewa smiled happily, tears forming in his eyes. "I'll never take it off." He then took the other piece in his hand and kissed the charm. Makuta tilted his head questioningly, but Lewa only smiled. "So that you can hold on to this kiss forever." He said and hooked the chain around Makuta's neck.
"I'll hold onto this one for longer." He bent down and captured Lewa's lips with his own.
"I love you."
"I love you too . . ." Lewa whispered as he awoke. The sight and smell of fragrant flowers greeted him as he tried to rid his eyes of their blurry state. He blinked a few times and sighed as his eyes finally came into focus. 'It was just a dream, a memory.' Lewa's hand came up to his chest and clutched the charm hanging around his neck, another sigh escaping his lips.
Lewa surveyed the area from his laying position and found that he was in the school's greenhouse. 'How did I get here? What time is it?' He sat up and looked to his side, a bit surprised to see Onua sitting with his head upon his arms and resting on the flowerbed. He may have been sound asleep, but he was still there. He cared enough to get him to a safe place and stay with him the whole time. 'Could he really be a true friend?'
"Onua . . ." Lewa stared at the sleeping boy's face and found that he was reminded of Makuta as he found himself softly stroking the others silky hair. "It's gonna be three years . . ."
Onua stirred and awoke causing Lewa to quickly pull his arm back to his side. "Lewa? You're finally awake. That's good. Are you okay?" Onua asked as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Lewa nodded in response and looked to the white flowers around him, breathing in the sweet smell. He was a bit sad that he had crushed most of the flowers from laying on them, but that was the best thing about nature. No matter what, it would always come back.
The black-haired boy smiled. "I'm glad you're all right then." Onua checked the clock hanging above the greenhouse door. "You know, school ended about half an hour ago."
Lewa looked to the other with wide eyes. "I was out for that long?"
"Yeah. What happened anyway?"
"It was nothing. I don't really want to talk about it."
"That's okay then, you don't have to. I won't force you to do anything you don't to."
Lewa's vision blurred once again as he heard those words. 'I would never force you to do anything you didn't want to Lewa.' Tears welled up in his eyes and began their way down his cheeks. "Makuta . . ."
Onua frowned as he watched the tears fall from his friend's eyes and it hurt to know he could do nothing about it. 'Makuta . . .Is that the one he's waiting for?' He reached out a hand and gently placed it on Lewa's shoulder. "I know you won't tell me what's wrong, and you don't have to, but if you ever need a shoulder to cry on, I'll be here for you. Always."
Lewa sniffled as he turned toward the other. He said nothing, but flung himself into Onua's arms, sobbing softly into his chest. Onua was shocked at first, not expecting Lewa to actually take him up on his offer, but smiled anyway as he rubbed the other's back soothingly.
The two stayed like that, wrapped in each other's arms, until Lewa's sobs died down into nothing but sniffles and the tears stopped flowing.
"Lewa, since the two of us seem to not have eaten all day, what do you say we go get something to eat and get to know each other a little better?"
"No thanks. I'm not really all that hungry."
"Please Lewa? It can be like our first time doing something as true friends." Onua looked down at Lewa pleadingly. In all honesty however, Onua just wanted to make sure the green-haired boy ate something considering how small he felt in his arms.
" . . .Fine then, lets go somewhere, as true friends."
Onua smiled happily. "Great! Come on. Let's go before I starve to death." He joked. Lewa smiled as well and they made their way out of the greenhouse and to Onua's car.
"Hey Onua?"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you."
"Huh?"
"Thank you, for being there for me."
"No problem. What are friends for?"
"Yes, friends." The two smiled at each other and drove off.

A/N: I'll try to get the next chapter up before I leave on Thursday so that you won't have to wait too long. I'd say I've been pretty good at updating for this fic. It's a miracle it hasn't taken me a month to get a chapter up. Heh. Well, please review! I'll get the next chapter up as soon as I can! 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.
