Author's Notes: Here it is everyone, the moment you've all been waiting for. Or at least I think it's what you've been waiting for. You might be a little surprised about what actually happens, or maybe not. Only you know if you are . . .Okay, that didn't make sense, but oh well. I won't keep ya waiting any longer. Here you go! 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. Oh! And I don't own the song. It belongs to the group named Shai and/or anyone else who owns it. (Damn that's an even longer disclaimer.)

"Always"
By: Green Devil
Part V "If I Ever"
"Come on in. Make yourself at home." Lewa held the door open allowing Onua to walk in.
"Your house is beautiful." Onua smiled as Lewa shut the door behind him.
"Thank you." The green-haired boy replied not lifting his eyes from the floor.
Onua cocked his head to the side with a frown. "Lewa, what's wrong?"
"I . . ." Lime green eyes lifted slightly, but came back to rest on the floor as he sighed lightly. "It's nothing."
Lewa led the black-haired boy to his living room and they both took a seat on the couch, an uncomfortable silence surrounding them. Both had something they wanted to talk about, but neither could get up the courage to do so.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Lewa broke the silence. " . . .Onua, I want to thank you for all that you've done for me. Having you as a friend has really brought me out of my depression, and for that I'm truly thankful." A tear slipped from a lime colored eye.
"Then why do you still seem so sad?" Onua asked, wiping away the tear with his thumb as he gently caressed the other's cheek.
"B—because . . .even if I move on with my life, no one could ever replace Makuta and the emptiness I feel in my heart." Lewa took the hand that caressed his cheek into his own and grabbed the chain hidden under his hoodie. He placed the pendant in Onua's palm so that he could see it.
Onua stared at the pendant with a frown. 'A broken heart necklace. Looks like my chances of ever getting with him just flew out the window.' He thought as he examined the golden heart, thumb tracing over the engraved lettering. "Makuta . . ."
"He was my first and only friend . . .and I loved him." Lewa looked to pendant sadly, more tears spilling down his cheeks.
Originally, the pendant was a whole heart, but is made so that it can be broken apart for each lover to wear. Makuta wore the piece with Lewa's name engraved in the gold metal.
"I—I . . ." Lewa was pulled into a tight embrace. "I miss him so much!" he cried, sobbing into Onua's chest.
Onua rocked the lime-eyed boy back and forth while rubbing his back soothingly. 'Why must he continue to cause Lewa so much pain? If Makuta really loved him, he'd come back to him.' Onua growled low in his throat. 'That bastard. How could he do this to him? It's his fault Lewa can't open his heart to anyone.'
The two stayed in that position for about half an hour until Lewa's sobs finally died down to quiet sniffles. Onua couldn't hold in his anger any longer.
"Look, Lewa, you can't keep doing this to yourself. Forget about him, cause he obviously forgot about you."
Lewa looked up in shock. "Onua, you don't understand—"
"What don't I understand!" The green-haired boy was silent as he pulled away from Onua to face the other way. As soon as Onua realized what he had done, he felt a great pain grip his heart. "Lewa, I—I'm sorry, I didn't mean to—"
"Onua . . .have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry?"
"Well, uh . . ."
"Have you ever needed something so bad you can't sleep at night?"
"Lewa—"
"Have you ever . . .have you ever truly loved someone?" Lewa looked up into Onua's emerald eyes questioningly, his own eyes glossy and still leaking tears.
The black-haired boy gazed into lime green pools of sadness as he searched his heart for an answer to the other's questions, and found one. He took Lewa's smaller hand into his own, entwining their fingers, and held his chin in the other.
"If I was asked any of those questions before I met you, all of my answers would've been no. However, since the first day I saw you in that classroom, I've felt drawn to you. I know now that I want to be with you. I want to be the one who wipes away your tears and holds you when you're scared. Lewa please, let me be the one who replaces the one you lost. Let me be the one you love."
" . . .Onua . . ." Lewa searched the other's eyes for any sign of selfishness or lust, but found nothing but love in their emerald depths.
Onua gently traced Lewa's bottom lip with his thumb and leaned in until their lips were only millimeters apart. "Let me love you." He breathed out and captured Lewa's lips with his own in a gentle but loving kiss.
Lewa's eyes widened in surprise, but in his heart knew that it would've happened someday. He just didn't expect it to be so soon. Despite this fact, he found himself kissing back. ' . . .This is wrong . . .But he's just so much like him . . .Makuta . . .'
:The very first time
That I saw your green eyes
Your lips said, "Hello" and I said, "Hi"
I knew right then you were the one
But I was caught up
In physical attraction
But to my satisfaction
Baby you were more than just a face:
Lewa wrapped his arms around Onua's neck, deepening the kiss while Onua's hands traveled down then up the hem of Lewa's jacket and the shirt underneath to explore the pale, heated flesh of his torso.
Once the need for air became too much to ignore, the two broke apart, arms still locked around each other.
:And if I e(ever fall) in love (again) again
I will be sure that my baby is a friend
And if I e(ever fall) in love (so true) so true
I will be sure that my baby's just like you:
'I love Makuta . . .but he's never coming back . . .' Lewa tore his eyes away from Onua's and looked to the side as hate flashed through his eyes, but was replaced by sadness as he remembered that Makuta would never hurt him. 'He had to have left for a reason.'
:Oh, yeah, yeah, ye—ye—ye—ye—ye—yeah
The very next time he'll be my friend:
"You haven't answered me."
Lewa turned back to the emerald-eyed boy, eyes still filled with sorrow. "Huh?"
"Let me love you."
The green-haired boy turned back away. "I—I . . .we made a promise when we were together . . ."
"What was it?"
"We promised that if either of us . . .died or left the other for whatever reason, if we ever fell in love again . . .we had to make sure that the one we loved was a friend, a true friend."
"And why is that?"
:If I say that I can be your one and only
(Promise, promise) Promise that you'll never leave me lonely
I just wanna be the one you need
Oh, baby
I just wanna be the one to serve you
Sometimes I feel as if I don't deserve you
I cherish every moment that we share:
Lewa turned back to face Onua. He wanted to look him in the eye while he said what he had to say. "Because if the one you love is a true friend, there's less chance of them ever hurting you."
Onua winced, the comment getting him in the heart. 'I never thought of it that way.' Sorrow filled his eyes as he looked into the lime green pools before him. "Oh Lewa . . ."
:And if I e(ever fall) in love (again) again
I will be sure that my baby is a friend
And if I ever fall (ever fall) in love (so true) so true
I will be sure that my baby's just like you:
The next few moments were spent in silence as the two did nothing but look into each other's eyes.
Onua finally broke the silence. "Lewa, you know I would never do anything to hurt you."
The lime-eyed boy said nothing and turned away once more.
"Lewa . . .If something's wrong, you can tell me." Onua brushed aside the lock of hair that framed Lewa's face and placed it behind his ear so that he could see the other a little better.
:(My friend)
I need someone who'll be my friend (Very next time he will be my friend, someone who I can believe in)
(My friend)
To be with me through thick and thin (Very next time he will be my friend, someone who I can believe in):
"Can I really trust you? I've only known you for a few days. It took me almost a year before I felt I could truly trust Makuta."
"Enough with Makuta. He's gone Lewa. You have to put your past behind you and start anew . . .I'm sure Makuta would've wanted you to."
" . . .He would've . . .but only if he were really gone. He'll come back, I know he will. If I were to have someone new when he came back and see the hurt in his eyes, I'd never be able to forgive myself."
:(My friend)
Please share my love with me my friend (Very next time he will be my friend, someone who I can believe in)
(My . . .)
I need someone like you (Very next time he will be my friend):
"Lewa . . ." the black-haired boy turned the other's head to face him. "If that's how you really feel then, I guess there's not much I can do to change your mind."
"I'm sorry Onua."
"It's okay I guess. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always knew that I'd never be able to be with you, but that didn't stop me from trying. I just wanna make sure that you know that I love you. You know right?" Lewa nodded his head. "Good. Also, if you ever give up on him, know that I'll be waiting. You're one in a million Lewa and I hope Makuta knows what he's missing. For your sake, I hope he comes back soon."
Tears began seeping from Lewa's eyes once more. "I'm so sorry Onua. You really are a true friend, I know that now, but I won't leave Makuta. I can't. He completes me like no one else ca—"
Onua silenced him with a finger to his lips. "I know. I just have one request. A kiss for the road?"
A small smile graced Lewa's angelic face. "Sure."
:And if I e(ever fall) in love (again) again
I will be sure that my baby is a friend
And if I ever (ever fall) fall in love (so true) so true:
Onua wanted a kiss that he'd remember for however long he'd have to wait until he'd get another one so, leaning forward, he pushed their lips together in a bruising yet loving kiss that ended with Lewa on his back and Onua bent over him, both gasping for breath.
"Goodbye Lewa."
"We're still friends . . .right?"
"Right . . .friends." Onua stood from the couch and let himself out.
'Onua . . .I really am sorry.' Lewa thought as he watched him leave, the door closing as Onua took one last glance at the green-haired beauty still lying on the couch.
'Makuta . . .please come home . . .I miss you . . .I need you . . .'
:I will be sure that my baby's just like you:
