Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.957Please respect copyright.PENANA1HleXUqFcG
957Please respect copyright.PENANAFVIZEGUEqc
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.957Please respect copyright.PENANAamIF0ihWfo
957Please respect copyright.PENANAkJaXFu7ioe
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.957Please respect copyright.PENANArTOzZQyRzo
957Please respect copyright.PENANAzzHMyXx36B
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.957Please respect copyright.PENANAxVC3B1c7nb
957Please respect copyright.PENANA51SeiKxxAV
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.957Please respect copyright.PENANAzRzTKWlS9r
957Please respect copyright.PENANA8gtIzT5wVu
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.957Please respect copyright.PENANAl5nO0lGVox
957Please respect copyright.PENANAjfasbMsZg7
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.957Please respect copyright.PENANA3NbW4jLOo9
957Please respect copyright.PENANArDXCIcEh6I
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"957Please respect copyright.PENANA5j3UsB71XQ
957Please respect copyright.PENANAhGZrUAQ15q
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."957Please respect copyright.PENANAODeK83UhCJ
957Please respect copyright.PENANAgFYInGer1C
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."957Please respect copyright.PENANATAcEGsBPhq
957Please respect copyright.PENANAMm06dtDzn1
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.957Please respect copyright.PENANAd3f2yPwea0
957Please respect copyright.PENANACbzubcwhJg
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.957Please respect copyright.PENANADlk672gP1I
957Please respect copyright.PENANAzShPxHPPtO
"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.957Please respect copyright.PENANA3VnX8NcbUx
957Please respect copyright.PENANAywCfII8nqD
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?"957Please respect copyright.PENANAzkxRPnQilS
957Please respect copyright.PENANA3KgMM1Kyi5
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.957Please respect copyright.PENANAJj6Pi3MLBn
957Please respect copyright.PENANAcihuyaKXHW
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.957Please respect copyright.PENANAuIUXrtvbOd
957Please respect copyright.PENANAAEZ83674SU
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.957Please respect copyright.PENANA5fiqlWVRTB
957Please respect copyright.PENANAuPcrt065MQ
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.957Please respect copyright.PENANAfKWkDpYu9H
957Please respect copyright.PENANAmVfVs81mbo
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"957Please respect copyright.PENANAgDtnEdCEgV
957Please respect copyright.PENANAyZxUjZvovo
"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.957Please respect copyright.PENANAA6pbZwdU9H
957Please respect copyright.PENANAHpXGXD9Wf2
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?957Please respect copyright.PENANAn0BMzQGoxa
957Please respect copyright.PENANAuAFwIeJLtL
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.957Please respect copyright.PENANAV2fuooGgP2
957Please respect copyright.PENANArSOp023B6s
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..."957Please respect copyright.PENANAwtRhFgupzD
957Please respect copyright.PENANADxIYkDg4oO
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.957Please respect copyright.PENANAbOgZN15oCV
957Please respect copyright.PENANAfnFDeHyPGf
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."957Please respect copyright.PENANAv2W0jR9VHh
957Please respect copyright.PENANAenUJmAZo9G
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.957Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1U2NsPe7K
957Please respect copyright.PENANAVSxgtD1mbw
"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.957Please respect copyright.PENANAXa8RM2Q1xB
957Please respect copyright.PENANAFDG2yT18zS
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"957Please respect copyright.PENANAirjoYinLgO
957Please respect copyright.PENANA6LoEPEuewT
"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.957Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ879UCIk5
957Please respect copyright.PENANARIwjO0QyYw
"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.957Please respect copyright.PENANAwY7ABHIq7m
957Please respect copyright.PENANA3thTTfkBPx
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.957Please respect copyright.PENANAxRq4kn1T0Z
957Please respect copyright.PENANAFhdLepAo0r
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."957Please respect copyright.PENANAaFwgbAxCUK
957Please respect copyright.PENANAzPMwRMzzA9
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.957Please respect copyright.PENANANYrlRdMNZ3
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.957Please respect copyright.PENANAqDdjj9z7q7
957Please respect copyright.PENANAWOTAItFPzW
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.957Please respect copyright.PENANAUc0vtCNVBf
957Please respect copyright.PENANA5WmiecPd6e
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
