Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.855Please respect copyright.PENANA33RbcN1SPC
855Please respect copyright.PENANAoFZ88hsm2O
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.855Please respect copyright.PENANAquTnTV5cLe
855Please respect copyright.PENANAudXGVwokwh
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.855Please respect copyright.PENANAleZaCze9wZ
855Please respect copyright.PENANAs3ML8thYqC
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.855Please respect copyright.PENANApYDRLkmhHq
855Please respect copyright.PENANADZ4t5c0MFE
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.855Please respect copyright.PENANAoqGDRnQTmY
855Please respect copyright.PENANAb2h49GBQ9m
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.855Please respect copyright.PENANAQZfBOiqIJD
855Please respect copyright.PENANAlfqVRYSvyV
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.855Please respect copyright.PENANAFfEJ7v8LT9
855Please respect copyright.PENANApGyhgzycKQ
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"855Please respect copyright.PENANAnPyIUV84i4
855Please respect copyright.PENANAKasgbqXwO1
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."855Please respect copyright.PENANAkw6GjGWFmu
855Please respect copyright.PENANAwWYS8tDtcq
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."855Please respect copyright.PENANABRKOCwbEz0
855Please respect copyright.PENANAPj5plZ9D9d
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.855Please respect copyright.PENANA4mCrCes2dp
855Please respect copyright.PENANAYvFqOYQb6o
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.855Please respect copyright.PENANAbg6xYQPLyG
855Please respect copyright.PENANAm7zWV5g02w
"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.855Please respect copyright.PENANAZsf1F37NrG
855Please respect copyright.PENANA6T6XDRZslo
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?"855Please respect copyright.PENANARm8jR45pUh
855Please respect copyright.PENANAOZqVpdCSCb
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.855Please respect copyright.PENANAuR8y32MImr
855Please respect copyright.PENANA5BVp61QVXQ
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.855Please respect copyright.PENANAjJpJ0NGDwm
855Please respect copyright.PENANAyHwMci0bOf
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.855Please respect copyright.PENANACLk11jHGt4
855Please respect copyright.PENANAScUHFI7uZg
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.855Please respect copyright.PENANA5cbxak2kxD
855Please respect copyright.PENANANekmdmt5YI
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"855Please respect copyright.PENANA87t2zseWZ7
855Please respect copyright.PENANAu3BtCqLrZ2
"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.855Please respect copyright.PENANANKSbTuVi9Z
855Please respect copyright.PENANAj4OHjH16IN
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?855Please respect copyright.PENANAFGoArI5FgB
855Please respect copyright.PENANAGZtbPbOEIJ
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.855Please respect copyright.PENANAiOLe5beJPJ
855Please respect copyright.PENANArhsdNfDTZN
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..."855Please respect copyright.PENANAsxnrvf2bWJ
855Please respect copyright.PENANA0dn5zLj0dn
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.855Please respect copyright.PENANAjPNJjtc5gR
855Please respect copyright.PENANARCCwZKe4ta
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."855Please respect copyright.PENANAsn75sDNArj
855Please respect copyright.PENANAJjPmn0gU3L
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.855Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZY5yupRqo
855Please respect copyright.PENANA86f0Lz3M7a
"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.855Please respect copyright.PENANA8DokQLwezk
855Please respect copyright.PENANAyvhwV5YfN8
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"855Please respect copyright.PENANAncug8sBJ8S
855Please respect copyright.PENANA71e7wqe79O
"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.855Please respect copyright.PENANAwIcRRloZfx
855Please respect copyright.PENANArnUOOdgX9V
"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.855Please respect copyright.PENANA4zagXfIubB
855Please respect copyright.PENANAhubgSuQkrc
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.855Please respect copyright.PENANAZiRSJdCJ4R
855Please respect copyright.PENANARHsI6uIUCq
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."855Please respect copyright.PENANAY15hNi0G6I
855Please respect copyright.PENANAaWhQm00qKA
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.855Please respect copyright.PENANA2K4WcPXsyO
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.855Please respect copyright.PENANAFQarUuPb0o
855Please respect copyright.PENANAKbXCusGQob
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.855Please respect copyright.PENANAS4WQnHvyXU
855Please respect copyright.PENANAoY24EOyPmg
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
