Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.734Please respect copyright.PENANAzp4Ii7nDAr
734Please respect copyright.PENANAKlroBMRkO4
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAUGQaqiC00s
734Please respect copyright.PENANAxoH4QNVXt4
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAcZpurhGjq1
734Please respect copyright.PENANAFM2CIC2L81
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.734Please respect copyright.PENANALuLbfjk1Cb
734Please respect copyright.PENANAdM7N5rZvIE
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAWRT4vccWKf
734Please respect copyright.PENANAfbsAiywtvz
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAgjETIixhqW
734Please respect copyright.PENANA9RTTqszv2t
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAVFiuLiUEO3
734Please respect copyright.PENANABPY17h3UOH
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"734Please respect copyright.PENANAy6B8NRMCAU
734Please respect copyright.PENANABuwdYdr1kF
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."734Please respect copyright.PENANAGWWuT9dJDb
734Please respect copyright.PENANACMrUEmwUHn
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."734Please respect copyright.PENANAdXdQyHiAIx
734Please respect copyright.PENANAxnKMFj1MSJ
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.734Please respect copyright.PENANAGh7QKkBxOh
734Please respect copyright.PENANAIEvidDHUML
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.734Please respect copyright.PENANAqD1TUwrzMX
734Please respect copyright.PENANA7PpybDTyTl
"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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAt8zNf7tUTV
734Please respect copyright.PENANAXzyoY92BBQ
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?"734Please respect copyright.PENANAD3S0mqLPvK
734Please respect copyright.PENANA3ya9WvCFwU
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAgFespjYQNG
734Please respect copyright.PENANA5x4q3Cbuyi
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAz6YkJdTJ8G
734Please respect copyright.PENANAfSa0rOjHVf
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.734Please respect copyright.PENANAwngqgatPI4
734Please respect copyright.PENANAN2bdDgT3Ct
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.734Please respect copyright.PENANAJ02muxnBPO
734Please respect copyright.PENANAj7gx3MOXgN
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"734Please respect copyright.PENANAKQdaJXRn5X
734Please respect copyright.PENANAYN2RdRh6Eq
"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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAsoSLtcqoPP
734Please respect copyright.PENANAw9nSTFhlNK
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?734Please respect copyright.PENANAAhNAJOPvqE
734Please respect copyright.PENANAxDocnxiA3o
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.734Please respect copyright.PENANA8fX33KUtza
734Please respect copyright.PENANAufYe1uqDQ8
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..."734Please respect copyright.PENANAHYnOe3YyLc
734Please respect copyright.PENANAZjXKU9AgNW
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.734Please respect copyright.PENANA0f1OFbEcnu
734Please respect copyright.PENANAuaSd5uxLUl
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."734Please respect copyright.PENANAnIoEv4S7BA
734Please respect copyright.PENANA1OXlboJCdI
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.734Please respect copyright.PENANA045pN6zzB1
734Please respect copyright.PENANANioAX0bGcR
"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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAGT2ADSkLJg
734Please respect copyright.PENANAiZxybR3xy0
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"734Please respect copyright.PENANAPbKCvhfc51
734Please respect copyright.PENANAgAw5jdMWIs
"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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAbYNlFTjcQB
734Please respect copyright.PENANA0JL3tOuFpV
"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.734Please respect copyright.PENANA9F1uknqfPg
734Please respect copyright.PENANAtIyox7VO4x
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.734Please respect copyright.PENANAFNHtIHEQUw
734Please respect copyright.PENANABBAx7ZRBeX
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."734Please respect copyright.PENANAfOGB5QHPIP
734Please respect copyright.PENANA6ykmPWCZcN
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.734Please respect copyright.PENANAgIkXn3XZPl
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.734Please respect copyright.PENANAiEFc2W1p6p
734Please respect copyright.PENANArHT0Q5Ry90
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.734Please respect copyright.PENANAPq2HvXABst
734Please respect copyright.PENANAsqzrNNsNW7
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
