Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.741Please respect copyright.PENANAjd7w6KZa6A
741Please respect copyright.PENANAgQncn6GGip
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.741Please respect copyright.PENANAjwvNq61yf1
741Please respect copyright.PENANAu0GViZBOVw
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.741Please respect copyright.PENANA7hN9p2ppTq
741Please respect copyright.PENANA0rdkiAUx51
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.741Please respect copyright.PENANANXcSo92RtW
741Please respect copyright.PENANAavbwATaLZO
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.741Please respect copyright.PENANABtjA7iPa1z
741Please respect copyright.PENANAtqbibziyz9
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.741Please respect copyright.PENANAzTylco4ggw
741Please respect copyright.PENANA3qCNEuo8GN
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.741Please respect copyright.PENANAbqFimF2RiN
741Please respect copyright.PENANAfv5nQsVyMB
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"741Please respect copyright.PENANAGFjHJp6EPU
741Please respect copyright.PENANALdM2CYhr7b
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."741Please respect copyright.PENANAUOgGi3ByiK
741Please respect copyright.PENANAfoooXrRTRI
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."741Please respect copyright.PENANAeRO6ciqbCi
741Please respect copyright.PENANA1EZGpK0ekU
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.741Please respect copyright.PENANAlzY1DyLtLx
741Please respect copyright.PENANAHN2PTvQqwx
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.741Please respect copyright.PENANAfpS1XUyNQh
741Please respect copyright.PENANAgyhiXJYAId
"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.741Please respect copyright.PENANAyaOlxHmVmc
741Please respect copyright.PENANAKjQWNx29Xv
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?"741Please respect copyright.PENANAbGI15f8YSs
741Please respect copyright.PENANA0I1R6nnrmL
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.741Please respect copyright.PENANArSuC1p41e7
741Please respect copyright.PENANAE9CgKn6n76
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.741Please respect copyright.PENANAcPJDwSM5cH
741Please respect copyright.PENANAt5ZQMlwriB
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.741Please respect copyright.PENANAVqqCVOded3
741Please respect copyright.PENANAqoGVQsLEth
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.741Please respect copyright.PENANALKiFtMk3gM
741Please respect copyright.PENANAu6GiBijhKD
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"741Please respect copyright.PENANANYvqySpvxo
741Please respect copyright.PENANABCoNw8TUWK
"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.741Please respect copyright.PENANARS1E9yh4DL
741Please respect copyright.PENANA0yZlww368E
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?741Please respect copyright.PENANAEkfHD9hveC
741Please respect copyright.PENANAUTggjQhlys
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.741Please respect copyright.PENANAJunYxsiHqB
741Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9A51wy7KV
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..."741Please respect copyright.PENANAFrg2i4C4zp
741Please respect copyright.PENANANvnBlQwrTz
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.741Please respect copyright.PENANAKCdzrSSL3R
741Please respect copyright.PENANAVQAbwDBWNZ
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."741Please respect copyright.PENANAv6g9cZkYmP
741Please respect copyright.PENANAuHdWwQxAfx
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.741Please respect copyright.PENANAO6eYsin4Ns
741Please respect copyright.PENANAfyZD7V0eKL
"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.741Please respect copyright.PENANAECleWjwkIR
741Please respect copyright.PENANAPZz35CynEp
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"741Please respect copyright.PENANA6DDsLOmSSR
741Please respect copyright.PENANACZkESxBVlt
"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.741Please respect copyright.PENANALLcspCqi3B
741Please respect copyright.PENANAV4EnqwiLYx
"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.741Please respect copyright.PENANAeo3CTLvBqS
741Please respect copyright.PENANA6zRuPF5HOs
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.741Please respect copyright.PENANA7vbc7gbVOv
741Please respect copyright.PENANAQe8GRnqZ2x
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."741Please respect copyright.PENANAvlSXYwxnGt
741Please respect copyright.PENANAG7IVJ89bE5
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.741Please respect copyright.PENANALYw0tRefwU
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.741Please respect copyright.PENANAwa27p98V2r
741Please respect copyright.PENANASfpyvrB1wY
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.741Please respect copyright.PENANAxGPSF3MOkx
741Please respect copyright.PENANAmoPoxEICPX
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
