Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.875Please respect copyright.PENANAXJOjOcEd55
875Please respect copyright.PENANA3gR58DBU5i
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.875Please respect copyright.PENANAHVDIQCQfYm
875Please respect copyright.PENANAU1kTfUIjyJ
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.875Please respect copyright.PENANAkCG073W46j
875Please respect copyright.PENANAh2M98WtYvf
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.875Please respect copyright.PENANAMNmC3EOjti
875Please respect copyright.PENANAdRHrcQqfyR
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.875Please respect copyright.PENANApKMgzWkb7L
875Please respect copyright.PENANAGy8PX7lQK1
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.875Please respect copyright.PENANA7jnIn6ZKOZ
875Please respect copyright.PENANAS8uj9bb5Ja
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.875Please respect copyright.PENANAXZhfqkvbBP
875Please respect copyright.PENANA6BBxufqZLw
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"875Please respect copyright.PENANAof2xsbRuiZ
875Please respect copyright.PENANAkVDVZCIACu
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."875Please respect copyright.PENANADdXOMvAfo8
875Please respect copyright.PENANAnBpYQ9oJAw
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."875Please respect copyright.PENANAHWvMHp4jYP
875Please respect copyright.PENANAbArW9da2W7
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.875Please respect copyright.PENANATkUhDbhz4V
875Please respect copyright.PENANALdB73IU6n4
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.875Please respect copyright.PENANAlN5giji1oo
875Please respect copyright.PENANAenQeCQe6iB
"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.875Please respect copyright.PENANA9XBJWteUmY
875Please respect copyright.PENANAgpo2Q6wtT7
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?"875Please respect copyright.PENANAXNgXnDAPYb
875Please respect copyright.PENANAFHSvkeJ2J6
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.875Please respect copyright.PENANA0F5g0aTM9a
875Please respect copyright.PENANAqIynvxfbMU
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.875Please respect copyright.PENANA45RWlDFLvn
875Please respect copyright.PENANAVuNZdR8FYf
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.875Please respect copyright.PENANASka2hSyxuH
875Please respect copyright.PENANATvvC2rhKgI
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.875Please respect copyright.PENANAQVEkKcf846
875Please respect copyright.PENANAQnsu4U1c53
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"875Please respect copyright.PENANAN0Mtyt1I2c
875Please respect copyright.PENANAOHrkm64kti
"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.875Please respect copyright.PENANADOeOpmJb1x
875Please respect copyright.PENANAYSbKxMhJDh
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?875Please respect copyright.PENANAo8eWAu66EC
875Please respect copyright.PENANAK7MMO7Ctut
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.875Please respect copyright.PENANAel1OmguBJr
875Please respect copyright.PENANAz4CnuXV05k
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..."875Please respect copyright.PENANAJrt0fKxUYm
875Please respect copyright.PENANAXY56pMAUut
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.875Please respect copyright.PENANAV5NxdOWjKE
875Please respect copyright.PENANARJP7itCVgB
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."875Please respect copyright.PENANASkJr1NyB8h
875Please respect copyright.PENANAlFceCg5uHf
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.875Please respect copyright.PENANA77ce1DCIhQ
875Please respect copyright.PENANAKCUMAiQIqf
"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.875Please respect copyright.PENANAxYUH6bIM5i
875Please respect copyright.PENANAwpd8TWDkqr
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"875Please respect copyright.PENANAD9q1AQwvzN
875Please respect copyright.PENANAfVPyf2JNkT
"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.875Please respect copyright.PENANAEwmCGA268O
875Please respect copyright.PENANAPsUZSZOUmq
"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.875Please respect copyright.PENANA7OrpHzqpUg
875Please respect copyright.PENANAl9xPuaT41G
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.875Please respect copyright.PENANAn5z1pq8oVY
875Please respect copyright.PENANA9B0OrPG1JY
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."875Please respect copyright.PENANAbhKcdhZaGS
875Please respect copyright.PENANACjfvoGe7Q3
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.875Please respect copyright.PENANAFIzmmDEfsU
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.875Please respect copyright.PENANA2z4OUeWi0s
875Please respect copyright.PENANAn3wPmUSRDN
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.875Please respect copyright.PENANApyX4JBA83T
875Please respect copyright.PENANADY2SO8gwha
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
