Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.917Please respect copyright.PENANA9lcm8TMjGc
917Please respect copyright.PENANAmuEfi0znMW
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.917Please respect copyright.PENANAmx3eXptfLF
917Please respect copyright.PENANAwhqzWQBZGZ
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.917Please respect copyright.PENANABmXqRoEtJO
917Please respect copyright.PENANA8G1QKm2Ox0
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.917Please respect copyright.PENANA8DMYuFKLrn
917Please respect copyright.PENANABlntnpBq2A
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.917Please respect copyright.PENANAjvUnkPrBrK
917Please respect copyright.PENANACOfyzvUm3i
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.917Please respect copyright.PENANAgitGXumeJI
917Please respect copyright.PENANArUdzvCxGb9
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.917Please respect copyright.PENANAy7BNCQSeW6
917Please respect copyright.PENANAnJ7vIRBPKi
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"917Please respect copyright.PENANA0alLM7VSU4
917Please respect copyright.PENANADCqnDUZxQy
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."917Please respect copyright.PENANAGQp1d3SImJ
917Please respect copyright.PENANAKlcDgiEjTp
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."917Please respect copyright.PENANAQxjRXBWZu0
917Please respect copyright.PENANA8ObvthexAM
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.917Please respect copyright.PENANAN3Bg7JA5dk
917Please respect copyright.PENANALc46e6BVK7
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.917Please respect copyright.PENANAEjYZqdqvIX
917Please respect copyright.PENANAeqWPp2sEal
"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.917Please respect copyright.PENANAtf8hqav8GY
917Please respect copyright.PENANAeVHPvPqdsD
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?"917Please respect copyright.PENANAQrvhtj410y
917Please respect copyright.PENANAJGkhS3ChFX
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.917Please respect copyright.PENANAtCGVu2I4z5
917Please respect copyright.PENANAcntkRFEOcZ
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.917Please respect copyright.PENANA46Zxj6Q9VP
917Please respect copyright.PENANAh1aVhla4o1
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.917Please respect copyright.PENANA55ywDH1tAG
917Please respect copyright.PENANAgyf9d2h11C
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.917Please respect copyright.PENANAPcE22JxYQh
917Please respect copyright.PENANALhjsVPPeWh
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"917Please respect copyright.PENANAigFfn1m42M
917Please respect copyright.PENANAjoklnm1NHw
"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.917Please respect copyright.PENANA5GjtzAckPk
917Please respect copyright.PENANAXLzzHU8VpR
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?917Please respect copyright.PENANA62mqWxCMo7
917Please respect copyright.PENANA0dGReZqx89
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.917Please respect copyright.PENANAZHcvQvzGkZ
917Please respect copyright.PENANAAPok9uwfqF
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..."917Please respect copyright.PENANAl7DeTSIHKy
917Please respect copyright.PENANArvO8S4Vewj
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.917Please respect copyright.PENANAO4uJMRPvoQ
917Please respect copyright.PENANAe0N6sCKEhT
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."917Please respect copyright.PENANATKHluIlEok
917Please respect copyright.PENANAzob9Uev0zo
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.917Please respect copyright.PENANA7Vx8rYVDun
917Please respect copyright.PENANAjYqvt2Zcee
"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.917Please respect copyright.PENANAXKkrTSwn1U
917Please respect copyright.PENANAt4lyiu9JE6
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"917Please respect copyright.PENANASFlKr0SfXc
917Please respect copyright.PENANAC4xxVjDLbE
"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.917Please respect copyright.PENANAhxy4RWLpe2
917Please respect copyright.PENANAcOg4bFYehM
"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.917Please respect copyright.PENANADzN9GHpgJg
917Please respect copyright.PENANAURpVOgARKW
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.917Please respect copyright.PENANAApOLfd2Nq8
917Please respect copyright.PENANAbwr0iPLjXH
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."917Please respect copyright.PENANAYlkA8GZOF3
917Please respect copyright.PENANASQRqIAFB8B
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.917Please respect copyright.PENANA53AoLn0x25
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.917Please respect copyright.PENANAKetbWT2cOA
917Please respect copyright.PENANAtHTGwJu55X
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.917Please respect copyright.PENANAZlwL35IdnD
917Please respect copyright.PENANAWSlosQb0S2
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
