Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.736Please respect copyright.PENANAa1CAeNlUMJ
736Please respect copyright.PENANAixaoMidfdj
He sighed, pulling at his hoodie a bit to cover his face more, and he looked down at his blue, worn sneakers through blurry eyes.736Please respect copyright.PENANA8wTfHhJpdP
736Please respect copyright.PENANATj6lBu0H5m
At this hour, it was safe to say most of the city was asleep, but he was wide awake. Mentally tired, but he was wide awake. He didn't feel sleepy at all, and he wouldn't dare close his eyes right now.736Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ks42sFJ33
736Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ029cnVfo
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.736Please respect copyright.PENANA7TfJQMYDeB
736Please respect copyright.PENANAmuHTdbRlIN
The teen held back a sob, rubbing his arm against his face to get rid of the tears. He just wanted to forget right now. It'd be good for his anxiety to just pretend he lived a different life for now.736Please respect copyright.PENANAHIwvkrqRuO
736Please respect copyright.PENANAYSJXw28BYR
Then he quickly rushed into a small, run-down restaurant that stayed open even at night. Of course, the place was very empty, save a woman behind the counter and a young man at one of the few tables.736Please respect copyright.PENANA6CILUCc4Rx
736Please respect copyright.PENANAE6au3vrPRc
The teen sighed again, feeling a bit better in the warm room instead of the crippling cold air that somehow made him feel even more numb then he already was. He walked over to one of the tables--the one near the other teen--collapsing in it and pulling his hoodie back, revealing his black shaggy hair.736Please respect copyright.PENANAbGxeDU0wn2
736Please respect copyright.PENANA9P6qWWKRWi
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"736Please respect copyright.PENANACaPXCRKh1m
736Please respect copyright.PENANAWYcRnZ9pMR
The teen thought about it for a moment. He didn't feel like eating. And he didn't have much money on him. "Hot tea."736Please respect copyright.PENANABypmBDqcda
736Please respect copyright.PENANAPuTDGk66QR
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."736Please respect copyright.PENANAcPQ1kTMMaQ
736Please respect copyright.PENANACXc8gOap9g
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.736Please respect copyright.PENANASaZIzZu0lj
736Please respect copyright.PENANA9Aj72vfDxA
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.736Please respect copyright.PENANAPZ3xpCIUKS
736Please respect copyright.PENANAPMRvsuDhYi
"I can say the same. And anyways, haven't you ever heard that you shouldn't talk to strangers?" The teen snapped again, this time glaring at the light brown, messy haired boy.736Please respect copyright.PENANAV3eswsXUuR
736Please respect copyright.PENANA8qIjVh7eG8
The second boy laughed a little. "Well, when you can't even trust your family to not hurt you, does it even matter then? Plus, think about it, how would anyone make friends if they didn't talk to strangers?"736Please respect copyright.PENANAoQ9Lly8tKb
736Please respect copyright.PENANAIPgqYTw9MX
The black haired boy stared at him curiously, though didn't say anything, and the other boy didn't say anything else since the waitress walked back over, placing a mug of hot tea in front the black haired teen.736Please respect copyright.PENANAPytaaA8e7n
736Please respect copyright.PENANA4WjaE5Im82
Though once she left, the brown haired boy stood up with his plate of some sort of cake with white frosting on it, walking over to the black haired boys table, sitting down.736Please respect copyright.PENANAqwR1fwjtpA
736Please respect copyright.PENANALB8jwnHYTV
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.736Please respect copyright.PENANAOUlHHJueU6
736Please respect copyright.PENANAqHwSBtz1ll
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.736Please respect copyright.PENANAcLjthU3E1I
736Please respect copyright.PENANAn4Kwo25M6g
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"736Please respect copyright.PENANARJgTwVzO9K
736Please respect copyright.PENANAuK1fS7zdjo
"Sure thing." The woman told him, grabbing up a small clean dish and walking over to the table, setting it down, and the brown haired boy transferred one of the pieces of the cake to the other plate, sliding it over to the other teen. "Relax, Stranger, I just ordered this cake, so its not like I had enough time to poison it." The second teen joked, glancing at the boy across him.736Please respect copyright.PENANAAUn2jYL5t9
736Please respect copyright.PENANAv3eOQJjZu7
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?736Please respect copyright.PENANAOFknktphRx
736Please respect copyright.PENANAbDAWhEN4ER
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.736Please respect copyright.PENANAsi0MXAGPZ9
736Please respect copyright.PENANAinRa4TWpTl
The black haired teen grabbed up a spoon that was on the napkin beside his mug, before bringing it over to his cake to cut a small bit off to start with. "Thank you..."736Please respect copyright.PENANAJa1TiyhApE
736Please respect copyright.PENANA1GHfTzmPb1
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.736Please respect copyright.PENANACgAfMfXYvO
736Please respect copyright.PENANANb4MivFr7G
The black haired boy glanced down into his mug, looking at his reflection, and when he didn't answer the teen, the guy shifted, sighing slightly. "I mean, we're strangers, bound to never meet again, and we both have our problems, so we might as well get it off our chests, since I'm sure you have no one to talk to, and I don't either."736Please respect copyright.PENANADsEN9TFza8
736Please respect copyright.PENANANfOEq7O2yg
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.736Please respect copyright.PENANAUvkR6BHJTc
736Please respect copyright.PENANAWW6EPRfwcT
"My parents are both really strict and are complete jerks who don't understand me, and yell at me and get on to me about every little thing, and I'm tired of it. I don't have any friends, save my boyfriend who just slapped me and yelled at me before breaking up." He explained snappily, and he could feel the tears welling up in his eyes again.736Please respect copyright.PENANAAfGHNuiNd3
736Please respect copyright.PENANAgL8GlkfdA3
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"736Please respect copyright.PENANAqJWonnrxXe
736Please respect copyright.PENANApZX0TbAbDS
"Yeah...and honestly, they barely accepted me for it." The black haired teen muttered, taking another bite of his cake...it tasted like chocolate and it was so amazing. It basically melted in his mouth too. And the hot tea went well with it.736Please respect copyright.PENANA2RE8o3MdgH
736Please respect copyright.PENANApj3lcfuuHv
"Well, at least they kinda accepted you." The brown haired teen told him with a gentle smile, standing up and pulling some money out of his pocket and laying it down on the table before starting to walk out of the building.736Please respect copyright.PENANA6MWbBdnf0f
736Please respect copyright.PENANAklxx6m8YNo
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.736Please respect copyright.PENANA66kUIJ5UJd
736Please respect copyright.PENANAl9Sj1BWwHE
Then the other teen smiled at him. "Oh, I ran away. My parents couldn't accept me, and I was constantly being used by other boys. Nice talking to you, Stranger."736Please respect copyright.PENANAfXNDQ7Ee8I
736Please respect copyright.PENANAFzHzpez8oo
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.736Please respect copyright.PENANAtLFvTJ7j25
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.736Please respect copyright.PENANAFYy1fcRF1z
736Please respect copyright.PENANAo2GfQvTIOG
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.736Please respect copyright.PENANA3WxkXiI0Rb
736Please respect copyright.PENANAch6be7nqu0
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
