Closures! :D

This fixed code works as you intended:

// Function to run on click:
function makeItHappen(elem, elem2) {
    var el = document.getElementById(elem);
    el.style.backgroundColor = "red";
    var el2 = document.getElementById(elem2);
    el2.style.backgroundColor = "blue";
}

// Autoloading function to add the listeners:
var elem = document.getElementsByClassName("triggerClass");

for (var i = 0; i < elem.length; i += 2) {
    (function () {
        var k = i + 1;
        var boxa = elem[i].parentNode.id;
        var boxb = elem[k].parentNode.id;
        elem[i].addEventListener("click", function() { makeItHappen(boxa,boxb); }, false);
        elem[k].addEventListener("click", function() { makeItHappen(boxb,boxa); }, false);
    }()); // immediate invocation
}

<div class="container">
  <div class="one" id="box1">
    <p class="triggerClass">some text</p>
  </div>
  <div class="two" id="box2">
    <p class="triggerClass">some text</p>
  </div>
</div>

<div class="container">
  <div class="one" id="box3">
    <p class="triggerClass">some text</p>
  </div>
  <div class="two" id="box4">
    <p class="triggerClass">some text</p>
  </div>
</div>
