Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.998Please respect copyright.PENANAB0pcoKRHX0
998Please respect copyright.PENANAVltylp1Da4
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.998Please respect copyright.PENANAU9Ja5kwuCC
998Please respect copyright.PENANA1bwUHJwbFg
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.998Please respect copyright.PENANAnUIGbhrqvF
998Please respect copyright.PENANAaQJMqzCZUB
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.998Please respect copyright.PENANAHZKmTjvPwm
998Please respect copyright.PENANA6sJ0jZOUbR
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.998Please respect copyright.PENANA9mrYJOHQkS
998Please respect copyright.PENANA7HLgfEv16P
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.998Please respect copyright.PENANAe6MIV7rOwi
998Please respect copyright.PENANAynXaTDQ8Ak
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.998Please respect copyright.PENANArh3gngwshM
998Please respect copyright.PENANAb6uOgGYVaP
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAt3WEnIEGJN
998Please respect copyright.PENANAT1JTJihnPr
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."998Please respect copyright.PENANAeKrtm0ANLz
998Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ1LAPvTAH
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."998Please respect copyright.PENANAK2C7OHUlb4
998Please respect copyright.PENANA8ozEsNIH7u
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.998Please respect copyright.PENANAPqr26hsG8Z
998Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZjIvI2yD9
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.998Please respect copyright.PENANAe7Wt9MT3oU
998Please respect copyright.PENANAyl1JpUsC2P
"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.998Please respect copyright.PENANAPtrO7LYmKh
998Please respect copyright.PENANALZZ4xxk1hG
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?"998Please respect copyright.PENANAeG686N9kIX
998Please respect copyright.PENANAEp03tRAfd5
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.998Please respect copyright.PENANATz4WeeRtIr
998Please respect copyright.PENANANunH8cNjWZ
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.998Please respect copyright.PENANA1tYakbYdaS
998Please respect copyright.PENANAigl64IVGqS
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.998Please respect copyright.PENANAsTOlnhtm6h
998Please respect copyright.PENANASolTFsBUZT
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.998Please respect copyright.PENANAkRJwBU5AMC
998Please respect copyright.PENANAdNwRXRMxRR
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"998Please respect copyright.PENANA0K4N2HyaId
998Please respect copyright.PENANAGcb3aVeJ7W
"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.998Please respect copyright.PENANA8e5faXGoWh
998Please respect copyright.PENANAy1l1NCI1Ox
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?998Please respect copyright.PENANA9aHjd7jbni
998Please respect copyright.PENANAFSdXKh1evK
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.998Please respect copyright.PENANAjD7kDFlGg3
998Please respect copyright.PENANAmmJsXsmi6Y
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..."998Please respect copyright.PENANA4BiH3etZSb
998Please respect copyright.PENANAovkx8iCIME
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.998Please respect copyright.PENANAGV7ghoxDVn
998Please respect copyright.PENANAS4F7936j3Q
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."998Please respect copyright.PENANAo06hJdoZ8R
998Please respect copyright.PENANANmudLWCwpN
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.998Please respect copyright.PENANAK0u9dEoDkz
998Please respect copyright.PENANAMi4H28oglV
"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.998Please respect copyright.PENANAIbV2vjilXQ
998Please respect copyright.PENANAMRV8o9IvCN
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"998Please respect copyright.PENANA6bJJnYQAJs
998Please respect copyright.PENANAU447HXJWC0
"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.998Please respect copyright.PENANACMsGUBJrAH
998Please respect copyright.PENANA8t2CEU2q8T
"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.998Please respect copyright.PENANAXiEZCWqfso
998Please respect copyright.PENANAFr5ibuMqIE
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.998Please respect copyright.PENANATQmL5Fqlk8
998Please respect copyright.PENANAILn9gTMrK4
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."998Please respect copyright.PENANArmjW9hlFDy
998Please respect copyright.PENANAx9zQAOhAbv
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.998Please respect copyright.PENANAdvZXiWmKUx
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.998Please respect copyright.PENANACm3bCzld1n
998Please respect copyright.PENANAm3SDoqLszh
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.998Please respect copyright.PENANAAdBYWZTD4G
998Please respect copyright.PENANAWy1Xp13fKa
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
