Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.960Please respect copyright.PENANAiow1ZeTLsu
960Please respect copyright.PENANAqJlhIRn4hD
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.960Please respect copyright.PENANALY3I1sL9gt
960Please respect copyright.PENANAespAqCZkLX
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.960Please respect copyright.PENANAlnXCxhKJ4I
960Please respect copyright.PENANAfSb8HcVneU
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.960Please respect copyright.PENANA3FDU7a1Vb4
960Please respect copyright.PENANA3IIbYEYd8d
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.960Please respect copyright.PENANA9XaVPX0u0L
960Please respect copyright.PENANA6oeJsuHsGJ
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.960Please respect copyright.PENANAXsqvls8xj0
960Please respect copyright.PENANAiioB8xQc84
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.960Please respect copyright.PENANAvhHJNeC2jX
960Please respect copyright.PENANA3fh08hilGp
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"960Please respect copyright.PENANAR9ZNIW8NYZ
960Please respect copyright.PENANAXQ78eivHCb
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."960Please respect copyright.PENANAuRFZE2LEaR
960Please respect copyright.PENANADnzOdSY2HE
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."960Please respect copyright.PENANARSv1KGePqM
960Please respect copyright.PENANAST807LUqJn
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.960Please respect copyright.PENANAjq2SPYtvWT
960Please respect copyright.PENANA5iqC6vF5LW
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.960Please respect copyright.PENANAAb3fdHvtaY
960Please respect copyright.PENANAorOKfYNjZq
"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.960Please respect copyright.PENANAG73QGWKU3r
960Please respect copyright.PENANAadiLlnF6D3
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?"960Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9IU3OgVUi
960Please respect copyright.PENANAT9IYFzBJhr
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.960Please respect copyright.PENANAUJxGwsT2gv
960Please respect copyright.PENANAAJsPDHfIon
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.960Please respect copyright.PENANAPVowD6wOmb
960Please respect copyright.PENANAerdoaUtYlj
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.960Please respect copyright.PENANAu7WJwyzjkn
960Please respect copyright.PENANAx9hWLn9TQT
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.960Please respect copyright.PENANAb11Cvn5VtF
960Please respect copyright.PENANA63R7j0r1GK
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"960Please respect copyright.PENANAuUBNcm5FqV
960Please respect copyright.PENANAHDtZNnT6E8
"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.960Please respect copyright.PENANAvceQ10o5vZ
960Please respect copyright.PENANAkAWcMdBDiv
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?960Please respect copyright.PENANA57unL1V5mJ
960Please respect copyright.PENANAxTptzea3wv
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.960Please respect copyright.PENANAWftLHphy2E
960Please respect copyright.PENANAaqZzjWrwrN
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..."960Please respect copyright.PENANA4bIwskaEBb
960Please respect copyright.PENANAdejgHVwUBD
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.960Please respect copyright.PENANAbMZ2L14LiQ
960Please respect copyright.PENANAnSnCj7YNqn
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."960Please respect copyright.PENANAVPx83yKIGn
960Please respect copyright.PENANA4pe7jQf5NN
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.960Please respect copyright.PENANAxoeN5TOG4g
960Please respect copyright.PENANAjnXQyp7IkX
"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.960Please respect copyright.PENANAOGlo225KXJ
960Please respect copyright.PENANAl6Sp0Y9TT3
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"960Please respect copyright.PENANA9fz4jRsePJ
960Please respect copyright.PENANAu7g8mg4RzV
"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.960Please respect copyright.PENANAL65AsTdXhh
960Please respect copyright.PENANAd3TPn70tTs
"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.960Please respect copyright.PENANA6yuAmNRGIX
960Please respect copyright.PENANAbpDJfpsH5M
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.960Please respect copyright.PENANAqqgnhrsUx1
960Please respect copyright.PENANAVukdrzTZ8b
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."960Please respect copyright.PENANACc5fRVzdJV
960Please respect copyright.PENANANoLZnKcycJ
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.960Please respect copyright.PENANAvG4Z1ugRIA
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.960Please respect copyright.PENANAmG0WHNgNjA
960Please respect copyright.PENANArLNGbQwAU5
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.960Please respect copyright.PENANAXdl0006emF
960Please respect copyright.PENANA4tOqZt2n43
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
