Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.964Please respect copyright.PENANABQqkAvcsyS
964Please respect copyright.PENANAh1U34cW9dv
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.964Please respect copyright.PENANAU2Z7yzamNZ
964Please respect copyright.PENANAza5Wliw1A9
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.964Please respect copyright.PENANAydRvxVocbQ
964Please respect copyright.PENANA20myIGxU7U
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.964Please respect copyright.PENANAZgcwqNGJxO
964Please respect copyright.PENANAB8oitugLfI
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.964Please respect copyright.PENANAOSCwyk7IBl
964Please respect copyright.PENANAWALRyN8QR1
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.964Please respect copyright.PENANAU8lLAyGJei
964Please respect copyright.PENANAv0Eqa0WGTg
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.964Please respect copyright.PENANAhkE74FgBug
964Please respect copyright.PENANAIqIAnRetgG
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"964Please respect copyright.PENANAfljT6RPA1p
964Please respect copyright.PENANA25psn1MB8j
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."964Please respect copyright.PENANAM2uxcLMkiM
964Please respect copyright.PENANAqSo32bvJUB
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."964Please respect copyright.PENANAxzB2RYLVcx
964Please respect copyright.PENANAKh1IUg7wzo
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.964Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8wEaQdV5U
964Please respect copyright.PENANAA7SMG0S91X
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.964Please respect copyright.PENANAElN64waOWB
964Please respect copyright.PENANAIEhzWIu5gD
"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.964Please respect copyright.PENANANucJ3eR65K
964Please respect copyright.PENANAnORAiR2RgG
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?"964Please respect copyright.PENANABBtdVkeP2i
964Please respect copyright.PENANAZNjWx0qu5I
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.964Please respect copyright.PENANAqKDu9Ioydj
964Please respect copyright.PENANARfrep9GOX4
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.964Please respect copyright.PENANASTpQpHHek9
964Please respect copyright.PENANA7zigxSgLS2
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.964Please respect copyright.PENANAoLgTE9cnhf
964Please respect copyright.PENANAVp9rhGvue9
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.964Please respect copyright.PENANAPH8BuWofF3
964Please respect copyright.PENANAUMTGPj6jv8
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"964Please respect copyright.PENANA6rSsLXmBDn
964Please respect copyright.PENANA6sIu18MMKV
"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.964Please respect copyright.PENANA4BFPSFo5nr
964Please respect copyright.PENANAOfIB2Ofjno
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?964Please respect copyright.PENANAPuYg2T7s2u
964Please respect copyright.PENANAqZ6MUcJZEy
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.964Please respect copyright.PENANAjCzFtKTUKG
964Please respect copyright.PENANAxwC4IeagWY
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..."964Please respect copyright.PENANAkofaFmlZRB
964Please respect copyright.PENANAl4QJRrxIDi
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.964Please respect copyright.PENANAumWnGXnbEA
964Please respect copyright.PENANAhzGZ6c4Imw
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."964Please respect copyright.PENANAwHco5yhg0i
964Please respect copyright.PENANAhbQVVOd4Pa
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.964Please respect copyright.PENANA6kV3Ow1YpL
964Please respect copyright.PENANAj6IEkA0nO5
"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.964Please respect copyright.PENANA1LHSz9pFBX
964Please respect copyright.PENANAqtNQoMYOoJ
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"964Please respect copyright.PENANAHKhiwnBsND
964Please respect copyright.PENANA9L31lYJw5m
"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.964Please respect copyright.PENANAnnmrPDfNc3
964Please respect copyright.PENANALGqQLPBFHS
"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.964Please respect copyright.PENANAeASP4V1Crn
964Please respect copyright.PENANAGVYRDpywFR
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.964Please respect copyright.PENANAY57UwzbX2D
964Please respect copyright.PENANAsXnFZYVhBP
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."964Please respect copyright.PENANA3oC3d2CvEa
964Please respect copyright.PENANAkJ9BwY4onx
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.964Please respect copyright.PENANAncTYGYm2Ns
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.964Please respect copyright.PENANA4bYvhmk7lQ
964Please respect copyright.PENANAP2A30SenhF
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.964Please respect copyright.PENANADNVkcSGuAZ
964Please respect copyright.PENANATBrq3wwrSo
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
