Author's Notes: Well, here it is! The final chapter! Sorry it took so long. I've been studying for my exit-level tests these last three weeks because if I don't pass, I can't graduate. Being a junior in high school sucks cause it's the one grade where everything actually counts. I have so much stuff in my head, I think it's gonna explode! Anyway, I finished another new fic during school today. It's Onua/Lewa this time and has a new Toa in it; the Toa of darkness. So, um, yeah. Let's get back to the fic at hand. Also, there's some implied Pohatu/Onua, only like a sentence, so who knows what'll come of that in the sequel, which I still haven't started yet . . .Damn. 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 VI "Shining Tears"

The rain fell in sheets that day, the worst day of the year. At least, to certain green-haired boy it was. The previous day had been awful; Lewa didn't even want to think about it, but the hurt and sadness he had seen in Onua's eyes just before he walked out the door wouldn't leave his mind. He couldn't stand the thought of loosing another friend just when they were beginning to get to know each other. Lewa shut his eyes tightly as the memory came back to him.

"Goodbye Lewa."

"We can still be friends . . .right?"

"Right . . .friends." Onua stood from the couch and let himself out.

'Onua . . .I really am sorry.'

Lewa slammed his fist against the misty window and held his head as tears began to leak from his closed eyelids. "Why does everyone I love have to disappear? Why!" he sobbed, sliding from his chair and onto the floor. "Makuta, please! Don't leave me alone any longer! I need you! Come back to me please!" He yelled towards the sky, hoping against hope that his love would hear him and come back.

Wrapping a hand around his necklace, the points of the broken heart digging into his skin, the lime-eyed boy continued to cry.

xXx

Onua dropped his head onto his folded arms with a sad sigh, eyes glossy from tears past.

"Ah, get over it already Onua. I hate to say I told you so but, I told you so." Pohatu commented and took a drink from his can of coke.

"Oh shut it Pohatu. I knew what I was getting into. I just . . .I thought I'd be able to win him over, you know?" the black-haired boy sighed once more. "I'll never find another like him. And on top of all that, he asked me the 'can we still be friends' question."

"Really? What'd you say?"

"I said yeah, but I know that I won't be able to keep my hands to myself if I see him again."

"Well you can't avoid him your whole life."

"I know, and I don't want to. I wanna see him. I wanna be around him . . .I want him to be mine."

"Sorry to say, but no matter what, you won't get him. His heart belongs to Makuta and there's nothing you could do or say that'll change that fact."

Onua let out a breath of frustration. "I know, I know but . . .I have to see him . . .at least one more time. I have to straighten things out and I can't rest until I do."

"You have to tie up a few loose ends." Pohatu replied as more of a statement then a question.

"Yeah . . ." the black-haired boy stood from his chair and placed some money on the table to pay for his meal.

"Wait. Where are you going?" Pohatu asked while gathering his things.

"I have to see him." Onua turned to leave.

"Hold on." The brown-haired boy placed his own money on table and stood beside his longtime friend. "I'll go with you."

"Thanks but—"

"Hey, I'm not walking home so come on Mr. Lonely. I'm just going to make sure you don't, you know, break down or anything." Pohatu smiled.

"But Pohatu—"

"Just go already!" Pohatu cried and pushed Onua toward and out the restaurant door. The emerald-eyed boy allowed himself to be maneuvered to his car all the while thinking about what he should say to Lewa and contemplating if he should even go at all.

"Pohatu . . .are you sure about this? I really wanna talk to him in private . . ."

The brown-haired boy chuckled. "Yeah, yeah, I know. Just drop me off at my house would you? I wasn't really planning on going with you anyway. It was just a joke. I was wondering how long it'd take you to reject my generous offer."

"What! Ugh. I should've known." Onua started the car drove out of the parking lot, his mind still on what mattered the most at moment: Would Lewa even want to see him after what happened?

About ten minutes later they had pulled into the driveway of Pohatu's home.

"See ya Pohatu."

"I'll talk to you tomorrow. I wanna know what happens." Pohatu replied while getting out of the car. "Oh, and Onua, just to let you know, I'll always be here for you if you need a shoulder to cry on or something."

A smile slowly formed on Onua's lips. "Thanks Pohatu. You're a good friend."

"Anytime." Pohatu grinned and waved as the car pulled away, headed for Lewa's house.

xXx

Lewa pulled a dark green, loose fitting tank top over his head and flopped down onto his bed, snuggling into the warm sheets to watch the sun set through the glass doors that led to his balcony. His hair was damp from the shower he had just taken but he didn't feel like drying it at the moment. He was just glad that his tears had stopped, for the time being anyway.

'Three years Makuta. It's been three years since you left me. Today's the day . . .and now it's almost over . . .' Lewa thought grimly. He didn't want to add more days—years to the already long enough time period of absence.

The green-haired boy hugged his pillow tightly. The rain had stopped about an hour earlier, but the dark sky was still threatening to cry more of its tears onto the world below.

Lewa closed his eyes hoping to get some sleep, but a knock at his front door interrupted his attempt and forced him to get up and open it. He gaped at the figure that stood on his doorstep.

"Hey Lewa. Um, can I come in?"

"O—Onua? I—I didn't . . .I mean, uh . . .Sure." Lewa held the door open and allowed the emerald-eyed boy to enter into his home. 'I thought he'd never want to see me again . . .' the lime-eyed boy thought as he followed Onua over to the couch and sat down. 'Well, this seems familiar.' He sighed mentally.

"Listen, I have to talk to you about yesterday—"

"No, please Onua. I don't want to argue with you, not today. I won't change my mind—"

"I—I know and I don't want to start an argument with you, but I just . . ." Onua sighed heavily. "I just had to see you. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me. I know that I can't have you and I won't try to change your mind, but I still want to be around you. I still want to be friends with you, but I don't know if I'll be able to."

Lewa took Onua's face into his hands. "I'd love for you to still be my friend. That's all I've ever wanted. You're wonderful and believe me when I tell you this, if I would've met you before Makuta, I'd be with you right now. It's not just because of the promise I made with him, but because I really, truly love him. I can't be without him. You understand, right?"

Onua emerald eyes clouded over. "Y—Yeah. I understand, but part of me doesn't want to believe it. What I feel for you is just like what you feel for Makuta. I know exactly what you're going through and believe me, I don't wanna make it harder. Just . . .Can you promise me one thing?"

"What is it?"

Onua removed Lewa's hands from his face and held them in his own. "If we ever meet again, you know, like in another life, promise you'll give me a chance to be with you."

Lewa gaped. "Onua, that's a lot to ask for. Plus, we won't even know—"

"Please Lewa." Onua's eyes were pleading.

" . . .A—alright. I promise that you'll be my love in our next lifetime together." Lewa smiled.

Onua grinned and hugged the green-haired boy tightly, though a deep sadness could still be seen in his eyes. He didn't want to wait a whole lifetime before he could be with the other, but he would. "Thank you Lewa. You won't regret this, I promise." He pulled away and headed for the door, a sad, but at the same time happy, grin plastered on his face.

"Wait. Where are you going?" Lewa asked worriedly. He didn't want Onua to leave, not yet.

"I have to go. If I don't, I'm not sure what I'll do. I want you Lewa, but I don't wanna do anything that'll hurt you or take the trust you have in me."

"I—I understand. I'll see you around then . . ."

"Yeah . . ." Onua paused for a moment, admiring Lewa's slender frame and the way his wet hair clung to his face. It was the first time Onua had seen the other without his jacket, and he was even more gorgeous than he imagined . . .He had to get out of there. Turning quickly, a blush covering his cheeks, he opened the door and quickly shut it behind him.

The sun completely sunk into the horizon only minutes after Onua had left and gave way to the rain that had been falling earlier. The clouds let their tears fall once more, leaving the green-haired boy bathed in darkness. None of the lights were on. He couldn't bring himself to move from his position to flip any of the switches.

"Onua . . ." the lime-eyed boy whispered, drawing his knees to his chest. " . . .Makuta . . ." He sat there on his couch staring out into the darkness of his home, his eyes clouded with grief.

About ten minutes passed before there was another knock on his door, startling Lewa. He didn't think Onua would be back so soon. He figured it'd take him at least an hour before he came back to talk about something else in their 'relationship'.

'Why must love be so complicated?' Lewa sighed. Opening the door, he stood frozen in shock.

The rain poured around the porch, but the wind blew the mist everywhere wetting both Lewa and the one standing on his doorstep.

"Hey there beautiful. Long time no see."

Lewa stayed still, completely overcome with emotion. "I—is it really you?" He shakily reached his hand out to the other's wet, but still very handsome face, caressing it gently.

The other smiled and took Lewa's hand into his larger, wet palm and kissed it softly. "The last time I checked I was."

Lewa's chuckle was laced with sobs, but he smiled through his tears. Once recovered from his shocked state, Lewa lunged forward into the other's awaiting arms. He came back. " . . .Makuta!" He was finally home.

Makuta hugged Lewa tightly, tears spilling from his eyes to mix with the rain that covered his body as he held the one he loved in his arms for the first time in three long years. "Oh Lewa, you don't know how much I missed you."

"I knew you'd come back. I never doubted that for a second." Lewa nuzzled Makuta's chest, which was just as soaking wet as the rest of him. His shoulder-length black hair hung loose and damp about his shoulders and matted to his forehead. Crystal blue eyes gazed longingly into lime green as Makuta lifted Lewa's chin so that he could look at him.

"You're even more beautiful than I remember." Makuta leaned down so that he was a mere centimeter from the other's face. "Do you still love me Lewa?"

The green-haired youth smiled, tears still leaking from his eyes. "You know I do. I told you the day you gave me this necklace, I will always love you."

Makuta grinned and brought their lips together in a long, passion-filled kiss. "I thought I told you to find someone else."

"I never found a friend that could replace you. I can't love anyone but you, no matter how hard I try."

The two shared another kiss before heading inside, Makuta carrying Lewa like a new bride up the stairs and into his bedroom, their bedroom.

Finally, after three long, sorrow-filled years, the two lovers were reunited and their broken heart was made whole as they became reacquainted with each other's body. The night was long and filled with passion as old feelings resurfaced and tears of happiness were shed.

"I love you Lewa." The crystal-eyed boy breathed out as he collapsed beside Lewa on the bed and pulled him into his arms.

"And I love you Makuta." The lime-eyed youth replied as he snuggled into the other's chest.

"Always?" Makuta asked as he brushed away a green bang from his love's face and softly kissed the top of his head.

Lewa smiled and gave Makuta another kiss before resting his head back against his chest and sighing contently, tears of joy still shining in his eyes.

" . . .Always . . ."
