Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.703Please respect copyright.PENANAX27r71PFfi
703Please respect copyright.PENANALjWlk4Dj00
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.703Please respect copyright.PENANAxRPFcqVzm5
703Please respect copyright.PENANApAOUBN3TEs
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.703Please respect copyright.PENANAhLWzTUSuVh
703Please respect copyright.PENANA2FdK6Zfc6h
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.703Please respect copyright.PENANAgew802R4At
703Please respect copyright.PENANAROszMb86LX
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.703Please respect copyright.PENANA9mfY35w3mH
703Please respect copyright.PENANADKQJ8b7VUT
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.703Please respect copyright.PENANAlJaVnfMt7m
703Please respect copyright.PENANAdnAfxkOVmO
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.703Please respect copyright.PENANAG2KYrJiMgw
703Please respect copyright.PENANAqq4CbYh1Dk
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"703Please respect copyright.PENANA7dHE74uCcm
703Please respect copyright.PENANADkb9XnvnqU
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."703Please respect copyright.PENANAVXgC1mMWkT
703Please respect copyright.PENANAQV6lNFK4VZ
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."703Please respect copyright.PENANA2gaOUNKTbY
703Please respect copyright.PENANAFYLQzYHjNf
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.703Please respect copyright.PENANAxpmTWP5U81
703Please respect copyright.PENANAEi1i7wwD53
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.703Please respect copyright.PENANAn7yOCyhSW4
703Please respect copyright.PENANA8BuIokQUX1
"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.703Please respect copyright.PENANAlzqwNSOHDc
703Please respect copyright.PENANAiaTALKQSEd
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?"703Please respect copyright.PENANAuzhmWFmdp0
703Please respect copyright.PENANAiUTPIykiAM
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.703Please respect copyright.PENANAIFKBw3kdSl
703Please respect copyright.PENANA25SKH1u8dE
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.703Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5CVZPfQFz
703Please respect copyright.PENANAIwblxq5bgS
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.703Please respect copyright.PENANAApihO4sDQM
703Please respect copyright.PENANAleFREwwEDr
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.703Please respect copyright.PENANAvlJ5RPKN5x
703Please respect copyright.PENANAhOjRPdv4pA
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"703Please respect copyright.PENANAa09NY7clJJ
703Please respect copyright.PENANAGybD83DUVK
"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.703Please respect copyright.PENANA0wlXu2bHM8
703Please respect copyright.PENANANjGth8dN8c
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?703Please respect copyright.PENANAGiPX2qOLte
703Please respect copyright.PENANAlKm0KYUO77
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.703Please respect copyright.PENANACrXOQm8xSS
703Please respect copyright.PENANAu7GHn7nAeV
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..."703Please respect copyright.PENANAqXDdoufl7d
703Please respect copyright.PENANAvpvIe9GtVM
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.703Please respect copyright.PENANAe5ShZhA5Nu
703Please respect copyright.PENANAaMBpOhp1Tf
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."703Please respect copyright.PENANA6FUktlGejO
703Please respect copyright.PENANAZeJfGEDKkt
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.703Please respect copyright.PENANADP6vsR7woF
703Please respect copyright.PENANAXNBMMpUpXn
"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.703Please respect copyright.PENANAISMtJAeyfm
703Please respect copyright.PENANANbd42Kd1zB
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"703Please respect copyright.PENANArggHOIPq1c
703Please respect copyright.PENANADVm56Nsoi7
"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.703Please respect copyright.PENANAsIL4Sp22tP
703Please respect copyright.PENANAiI9EZN0CwM
"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.703Please respect copyright.PENANAne5TjC6roT
703Please respect copyright.PENANA0FQkfuH4vK
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.703Please respect copyright.PENANA9FhCXSyg9R
703Please respect copyright.PENANA3I4gvrFpZF
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."703Please respect copyright.PENANAe3aBQN8IKt
703Please respect copyright.PENANAi9JRxJuiem
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.703Please respect copyright.PENANAMd5lK2dtPK
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.703Please respect copyright.PENANAUL5BQAUc8N
703Please respect copyright.PENANAfakZDmcJOf
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.703Please respect copyright.PENANARnjALJv2Vm
703Please respect copyright.PENANA6rJwHE493R
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
