Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.856Please respect copyright.PENANAuL2CzOkJ37
856Please respect copyright.PENANACU3wzqYmXM
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.856Please respect copyright.PENANA89ADHk3YJp
856Please respect copyright.PENANA4ju5a5XdyE
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.856Please respect copyright.PENANAoLEnjn97sT
856Please respect copyright.PENANAb8wAHYCO9S
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.856Please respect copyright.PENANArmfosFnwT9
856Please respect copyright.PENANAjMQebteoW2
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.856Please respect copyright.PENANAeTtHYU1wPU
856Please respect copyright.PENANA94yI4j9Nle
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.856Please respect copyright.PENANAM3Pl94X9N9
856Please respect copyright.PENANA7o1m20FsMS
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.856Please respect copyright.PENANAQ69gRjDG8q
856Please respect copyright.PENANAGuWxNheA1r
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"856Please respect copyright.PENANAJJrgiCO1g7
856Please respect copyright.PENANAZOOsA9aOHc
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."856Please respect copyright.PENANAsSTE7FvH3o
856Please respect copyright.PENANADRdhoFupRP
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."856Please respect copyright.PENANAsWacqHBEMY
856Please respect copyright.PENANA69huHcCbCJ
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.856Please respect copyright.PENANAYNh27yofRf
856Please respect copyright.PENANA1cmEGP6ZKq
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.856Please respect copyright.PENANAPf2VyjIHkJ
856Please respect copyright.PENANAoGa7WhqJIb
"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.856Please respect copyright.PENANAd2Pecr8YID
856Please respect copyright.PENANAqEdsvgbIAS
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?"856Please respect copyright.PENANAtAVEYvxKdh
856Please respect copyright.PENANAWoYQZm9Pj4
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.856Please respect copyright.PENANANaKpbV1AVw
856Please respect copyright.PENANA0og3mFf3D8
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.856Please respect copyright.PENANAmaRfb13oUi
856Please respect copyright.PENANAcV9HI6cNC0
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.856Please respect copyright.PENANAfJhbMeND8l
856Please respect copyright.PENANAsmWVAqu3ZP
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.856Please respect copyright.PENANARXAvifGJ4V
856Please respect copyright.PENANAEIIQAHXlp3
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"856Please respect copyright.PENANAZFm7U3ahqY
856Please respect copyright.PENANANXJUHNPv2q
"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.856Please respect copyright.PENANAD6Gj2TRX9Z
856Please respect copyright.PENANA99bc3dHHqo
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?856Please respect copyright.PENANA5SeyHJ54ZS
856Please respect copyright.PENANAnSp1DVGVFk
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.856Please respect copyright.PENANAqpNUq0Xnt0
856Please respect copyright.PENANAA7EdSebxwn
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..."856Please respect copyright.PENANAZPJl6I84C2
856Please respect copyright.PENANAF6vfkox7OW
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.856Please respect copyright.PENANAfSMh9XMhN3
856Please respect copyright.PENANAn2Qhs9Thsh
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."856Please respect copyright.PENANAB7mJjUe1Nd
856Please respect copyright.PENANAXjvGexCv50
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.856Please respect copyright.PENANAJQJUb0J4oc
856Please respect copyright.PENANA2zVZ1zFDP7
"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.856Please respect copyright.PENANARDaoOQ6hrY
856Please respect copyright.PENANAnGV2sQ2Nvh
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"856Please respect copyright.PENANAJLVqp8GZvs
856Please respect copyright.PENANAJ02R7wOuUg
"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.856Please respect copyright.PENANAhPvu1JjZyM
856Please respect copyright.PENANALl3naU2muJ
"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.856Please respect copyright.PENANAy2Sc7UHBQz
856Please respect copyright.PENANA5iNAtVZN38
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.856Please respect copyright.PENANApJczWzKoiW
856Please respect copyright.PENANA8wPNcSXH3S
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."856Please respect copyright.PENANA5hwkKFFO1G
856Please respect copyright.PENANAM1BctA3fFk
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.856Please respect copyright.PENANAsS9VvJFrDl
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.856Please respect copyright.PENANA9QIym1caEc
856Please respect copyright.PENANALENnIign3S
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.856Please respect copyright.PENANAnkaBIWa0x9
856Please respect copyright.PENANAfHpukjZPmU
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
