Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvE3zG1m86
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sUnK9Sdsx
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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuHldQfxKn
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwnXrFF5y2
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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnNoTdqeVQ
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU8rHVeAMr
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC91EpwHFYd
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7ExHMDa6C
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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eCKHSnpT6
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHnCs8Sids
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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2RrWQyRHn
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGArLVWpg0
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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQTY93ZcTh
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQMZ3oeZ4L
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYhozodfBS
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGOVfa5FeW
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."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SnW3dqhHs
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0asVHCosh9
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSRbdyxIBi
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjJT8ijFup
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRFosfeaLA
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9l60QAyCJ
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGtNNVE58q
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Szezk6WDA
"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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcL7zquaMZ
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx26b7Qwxb
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?"824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXGu6jR5za
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e58hK8Pt1
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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDx4G2HkWV
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mFRbgOv8p
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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b8HW4FchT
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFsnvvU8cw
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ks6dG3hBg
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBCdFkZgAY
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesLQuRyrvr
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TxgLby8qa
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlrD8Bu7KV
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCG5jfSuUp
"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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujhiaEEwsL
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC0ddBwSp5
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVVfXiR6Ti
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncbSjM4lH0
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3yd0mIqAt
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o6amfUUnD
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..."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LL8oR6tGp
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWbXlRZD13
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIkhxQtnF7
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdiGt7yuaC
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."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHONFPFYQ5
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc9XB02seq
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLM0RZFpmi
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtcrgLgepg
"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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYSmAeY95F
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk69E5VGLij
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrCJxT3LSW
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSx3P7Le1y
"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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeGApmJIbZ
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J2M8zM0bV
"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.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm46HhqBynY
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVMvfoFBpM
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEEp2x77dM
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94nUmmzocG
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."824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1OcQclsGS
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UUdZvyTVY
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL2SzdMbYb
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4YA0q9lMf
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZRffevEO4
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc93YyU2weC
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1fCoL8STG
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
