Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.674Please respect copyright.PENANAQuVUY9oKDB
674Please respect copyright.PENANATQhEJVmAwj
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.674Please respect copyright.PENANAcML6GMUtOd
674Please respect copyright.PENANAFxhPoY4YWu
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.674Please respect copyright.PENANAyq5fY7qGCs
674Please respect copyright.PENANAhtz2VOukd5
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.674Please respect copyright.PENANAkHMDqBOg38
674Please respect copyright.PENANAdqy9XzEhhm
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.674Please respect copyright.PENANAbUk0x1sN5j
674Please respect copyright.PENANArLWqZbn0Yq
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.674Please respect copyright.PENANAxapsYndNoQ
674Please respect copyright.PENANAcDlCoy5NNc
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.674Please respect copyright.PENANAChCJcDfGCO
674Please respect copyright.PENANACJzR5ocalO
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"674Please respect copyright.PENANABzTNkcOoQl
674Please respect copyright.PENANArKF8ityxAA
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."674Please respect copyright.PENANArqKtAdryRA
674Please respect copyright.PENANA1AoH2zJZrn
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."674Please respect copyright.PENANA3E2z3CrGzV
674Please respect copyright.PENANATvPsR0yIxL
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.674Please respect copyright.PENANAiJyFmDHP2L
674Please respect copyright.PENANA3RFNE1FhZy
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.674Please respect copyright.PENANAvmDEainJir
674Please respect copyright.PENANAnvuiqkhDMU
"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.674Please respect copyright.PENANAuveBl8UKtF
674Please respect copyright.PENANA6IJEybvIM4
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?"674Please respect copyright.PENANAAmiVNjb5nH
674Please respect copyright.PENANAE8kNYoTTA4
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.674Please respect copyright.PENANA4G029rttiD
674Please respect copyright.PENANAi42WQ1tgjH
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.674Please respect copyright.PENANAlFIMZbyqF4
674Please respect copyright.PENANAv9j2a15F5L
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.674Please respect copyright.PENANAZOS575JBBs
674Please respect copyright.PENANAtSVdkHJ8pw
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.674Please respect copyright.PENANA6ERMeOBKEm
674Please respect copyright.PENANAAChI2eZVvX
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"674Please respect copyright.PENANACQJHrQkN8J
674Please respect copyright.PENANAdj3CuLeFA2
"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.674Please respect copyright.PENANASqLPxtX5P5
674Please respect copyright.PENANA59YEFGCkug
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?674Please respect copyright.PENANABzFy0xWupD
674Please respect copyright.PENANAOiTmxLGsyp
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.674Please respect copyright.PENANAHJfDh5ZyKF
674Please respect copyright.PENANAW82G9qHx1g
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..."674Please respect copyright.PENANAoDAdUDXbzu
674Please respect copyright.PENANAePtmrtzsRA
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.674Please respect copyright.PENANAXw15JVHJ8F
674Please respect copyright.PENANAqhhdS97Yy0
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."674Please respect copyright.PENANAn4HE766XBa
674Please respect copyright.PENANAnr4iUC5AVf
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.674Please respect copyright.PENANAdtfD9RcTJf
674Please respect copyright.PENANAurddt5QMC7
"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.674Please respect copyright.PENANArnin8L7WYh
674Please respect copyright.PENANAxVMTcRzthn
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"674Please respect copyright.PENANA3WD1WVJ7xT
674Please respect copyright.PENANACDzSq0fweg
"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.674Please respect copyright.PENANANl1U18N1OS
674Please respect copyright.PENANAA86Q6t6yRd
"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.674Please respect copyright.PENANAZYv53ychf7
674Please respect copyright.PENANAC7J0VlJZ2v
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.674Please respect copyright.PENANAyiDVol9sj5
674Please respect copyright.PENANA5s4cIkLPjV
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."674Please respect copyright.PENANA5x1jBTPOjw
674Please respect copyright.PENANAT3vDeHQGL7
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.674Please respect copyright.PENANAOQUn7XxNpL
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.674Please respect copyright.PENANA3dI2B24Koy
674Please respect copyright.PENANArt0P5l9buH
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.674Please respect copyright.PENANADCdRX4yP1R
674Please respect copyright.PENANASMjss80eUZ
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
