Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.1045Please respect copyright.PENANArcRyXGlLBN
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQQqlG1jcpn
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.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAtyiCBSAdN7
1045Please respect copyright.PENANADfOfJlzeNb
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.1045Please respect copyright.PENANARzYMBkY42W
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAHWPAVJuFv3
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWWWFOFmgLc
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAvo33QcVk5b
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.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA4pm1bTrD54
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAMqRNzxqFmi
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.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPaTXWIgdmT
1045Please respect copyright.PENANACc1Ik2toeb
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.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAE4Jk01SiHw
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAN2pTiEJmA5
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANApeOFRbb2p7
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAFbbSxUzKno
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."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAbitKYkv085
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAYr02ex9ofO
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAs4xSacOJVk
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAjLUkIgFkOo
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWQESEP7L3x
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAejJIXmGsmg
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAxeVKVZH9De
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAt390xOjpID
"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.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAldblLfAHQH
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAq5A72UZsQ8
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?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAMDLirGBYVJ
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAARb2BH6xu9
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.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAf05tnjEB8N
1045Please respect copyright.PENANA0d5LHs5tEO
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.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAVVjNqJMz3u
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAUFHlbZlI7K
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAxCR5mOLu6T
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAC9f4d1TfaR
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.1045Please respect copyright.PENANARhGNA02srp
1045Please respect copyright.PENANABDr3nA5ob9
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAqmmx77EZZA
1045Please respect copyright.PENANA2NRLnfkTz6
"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.1045Please respect copyright.PENANABUnOAPmx6I
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAh5H1Rl4Far
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?1045Please respect copyright.PENANAj8Q6GC6B0J
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWDEVUzJZle
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzxZFiIihqL
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAd25R1eId6O
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..."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWnECpHi2ca
1045Please respect copyright.PENANA32JK3Q8PnZ
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAH2Pl9hj4gk
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAZSMfCdVjUm
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."1045Please respect copyright.PENANAPy797FOKpq
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAzZFHpM74y8
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAauJLUBGRy7
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAUxEX3aj5Bo
"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.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA4YrzdIHe6s
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAgKkP02syEC
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"1045Please respect copyright.PENANAgusOTixDws
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAh7kVxAyAFs
"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.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAWJFkOeqkr3
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAqIxPXHBBtz
"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.1045Please respect copyright.PENANA5avUDrrqG6
1045Please respect copyright.PENANA1oj4pcCn56
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAyi4JveLlF4
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAbxzEwSW8Mw
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."1045Please respect copyright.PENANA7sEpcDZRYD
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAs1eBqY5mYC
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAQqitFmcfWn
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAlry5gq7sAL
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAryF7QEAIpx
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.1045Please respect copyright.PENANAoe1fFkYRFC
1045Please respect copyright.PENANAIZ9WgTwf2e
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
