Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.704Please respect copyright.PENANASPi1dS63W1
704Please respect copyright.PENANARbUjRf7xrc
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.704Please respect copyright.PENANAgYC7UqkueP
704Please respect copyright.PENANAmPybUKr1OI
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.704Please respect copyright.PENANAyFfUaCpUl5
704Please respect copyright.PENANA5GjyXyEB0h
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.704Please respect copyright.PENANAUmU0JbEh4X
704Please respect copyright.PENANAgzsf7qFJZO
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.704Please respect copyright.PENANASCXcDcNbRu
704Please respect copyright.PENANAoCC2FHoKjl
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.704Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8rSBjRksg
704Please respect copyright.PENANAIRBp6EfxbM
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.704Please respect copyright.PENANAG25gadtxc8
704Please respect copyright.PENANAxnqpLL1MN3
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"704Please respect copyright.PENANA0DxlsGVEG3
704Please respect copyright.PENANAFzi70x11na
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."704Please respect copyright.PENANAqhDUnsLDSa
704Please respect copyright.PENANAQK8JLKUmPz
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."704Please respect copyright.PENANAdOdKpirP58
704Please respect copyright.PENANA2bkUw0cx0L
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.704Please respect copyright.PENANAs4kvgWABWz
704Please respect copyright.PENANAYD1N6d4xUc
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.704Please respect copyright.PENANA4ycrXOfC46
704Please respect copyright.PENANAmhyaNOFPa1
"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.704Please respect copyright.PENANAM9OqnPOpUS
704Please respect copyright.PENANAZWOUFGGfYp
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?"704Please respect copyright.PENANAPMaPQMDINq
704Please respect copyright.PENANAenaX9zFF5i
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.704Please respect copyright.PENANAvSb5w0h2a3
704Please respect copyright.PENANAmKQquC80X1
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.704Please respect copyright.PENANAYYLvm9AWTR
704Please respect copyright.PENANADYLk5Ofkws
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.704Please respect copyright.PENANAcwxqtde8hP
704Please respect copyright.PENANAofbd3UysIx
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.704Please respect copyright.PENANARFbzaOdAO8
704Please respect copyright.PENANAVNQrN1ndR4
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"704Please respect copyright.PENANAOD1eAEpvIQ
704Please respect copyright.PENANAG6AB5HvEKn
"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.704Please respect copyright.PENANACOMWgPT5Vv
704Please respect copyright.PENANA4hHUc4s0e6
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?704Please respect copyright.PENANAaR3ADtnUAU
704Please respect copyright.PENANAEx1P4U37MY
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.704Please respect copyright.PENANALabMkQmkir
704Please respect copyright.PENANAkX8NF0H6Bu
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..."704Please respect copyright.PENANAAChSfak06O
704Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0yxpBR7kT
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.704Please respect copyright.PENANAq0wcN7lixq
704Please respect copyright.PENANALVHPO8jg2t
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."704Please respect copyright.PENANA2pfoM4yGwp
704Please respect copyright.PENANA33M8YjngZt
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.704Please respect copyright.PENANAznoCN7iSpg
704Please respect copyright.PENANAnPyCUgSSox
"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.704Please respect copyright.PENANAh3aN5fvNdF
704Please respect copyright.PENANAzFpfsmor5s
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"704Please respect copyright.PENANAmd9Pjl5oXF
704Please respect copyright.PENANAMRdETBSWfN
"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.704Please respect copyright.PENANABlMCuciJYx
704Please respect copyright.PENANAZjeRvMeUJh
"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.704Please respect copyright.PENANA8kZbygfxty
704Please respect copyright.PENANAdWywuMbUTR
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.704Please respect copyright.PENANAoDW1C2xmTb
704Please respect copyright.PENANADkTte10WpO
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."704Please respect copyright.PENANAMf9M5bzgkO
704Please respect copyright.PENANAl4DeeZxj4J
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.704Please respect copyright.PENANAyMZYfXzgFy
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.704Please respect copyright.PENANA127gV1z0YK
704Please respect copyright.PENANA1aK37AuqfT
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.704Please respect copyright.PENANAYdh1i2vMTe
704Please respect copyright.PENANADOLhbMcD0d
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
