Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW296xRtwK
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx0W1byUht
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.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSilPh16Ej
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HC5p173TP
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.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoEEiLyrmr
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR9rH0ePiT
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXwBGB1wsc
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9RR8te7TN
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.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYB70mmjWv
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja9e9OJWQm
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.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFaNU4RMIW
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFzUWpOyWQ
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.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVspYm8mSkD
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB7VQFYmIB
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3v2mfykBO
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlnCwuQJeU
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."1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OVRHr7hQi
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmETC8ewp6p
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdOrR7Y7hz
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjs1yJhHbP
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDvy9OmaX7
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9MBC2ijC7
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6ealPxIvh
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMmZZiQn5A
"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.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdUdfqvEvF
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCRTxEGu90
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?"1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLSp5DSNoH
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnRoRj0bK5
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.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mCn40KFyk
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiEJHDWUjL
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.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ0VhAXKpc
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZMDBfB7xc
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIqyHZGApr
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1VwqcYL8S
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUMGLz24ST
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCgHnQMQkE
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd2s8N41tq
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTvKq1oVNs
"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.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz7pDnVr94
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvzh1kXniW
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK0TTjVJtB
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjThdEElHVH
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEtlfpHQJh
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEemb1iGYbA
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..."1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGslgokd6v8
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PPow8O1t2
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXIfdlGoB4
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuN9wNpJuS
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."1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZif8jD5pO
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4UEOT8eax
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFZbhiag0P
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIxIMuRdy9
"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.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TN3xDWPtT
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJSJWfAtE2
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1mSxDTLSJ
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFSiagKR3n
"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.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9BDntQ50B
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9JaNft8qR
"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.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsgQxWUy2P
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzoz08oOYN
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTccSrRmvu
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DjDD0Np4Y
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."1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT6KvtZZXF
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQSMaKzXks
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR24TrEMoo
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdElRslKklK
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF4KnpHSoN
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMhERlzqFY
1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPZDpn5Hhm
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
