Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.894Please respect copyright.PENANAAvYnBOtAa0
894Please respect copyright.PENANAgmfFmxE9Oj
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.894Please respect copyright.PENANAT4hdTqrFgs
894Please respect copyright.PENANAeP0ZHR7uBn
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.894Please respect copyright.PENANA7sqI3Zz0Jo
894Please respect copyright.PENANAs009gTvoI9
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.894Please respect copyright.PENANAWJR0f0th5j
894Please respect copyright.PENANAQMCczBPDAl
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.894Please respect copyright.PENANAICaxebrWds
894Please respect copyright.PENANAvtwJFJUIjy
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.894Please respect copyright.PENANAbSza30bsHN
894Please respect copyright.PENANAEHQGMTEjoT
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.894Please respect copyright.PENANAjpVQ1tBwoP
894Please respect copyright.PENANA7fCKOXrneq
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"894Please respect copyright.PENANAMUENBSSKNR
894Please respect copyright.PENANAguf9nyK9RR
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."894Please respect copyright.PENANAtOHaLpVOoO
894Please respect copyright.PENANAEnos82b5Sc
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."894Please respect copyright.PENANA4hRhl45vOK
894Please respect copyright.PENANA83yxMoREo3
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.894Please respect copyright.PENANAnH5HfpBr1G
894Please respect copyright.PENANAvUvo1IbLqJ
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.894Please respect copyright.PENANAuookCYd6Ca
894Please respect copyright.PENANAjyvXhMpHAd
"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.894Please respect copyright.PENANAc6414fnFVQ
894Please respect copyright.PENANAzOmbIAOXAX
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?"894Please respect copyright.PENANAKz7gS0LkuN
894Please respect copyright.PENANANWhOwOpUUr
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.894Please respect copyright.PENANApH6FSfTtAY
894Please respect copyright.PENANAVenpRwFDcz
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.894Please respect copyright.PENANAtnMvP7SgUE
894Please respect copyright.PENANA9fiNa4LLpz
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.894Please respect copyright.PENANAicKQgVa9nw
894Please respect copyright.PENANAdBei1gwxhQ
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.894Please respect copyright.PENANAMebZMEzaD7
894Please respect copyright.PENANA6ef3fTpEEI
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"894Please respect copyright.PENANAwJfOBZmLPO
894Please respect copyright.PENANAO1PYdIFRC0
"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.894Please respect copyright.PENANAeTEsa13AjL
894Please respect copyright.PENANABiKFWETpih
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?894Please respect copyright.PENANAyYs0nxVVqA
894Please respect copyright.PENANAQgNGqz60Hi
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.894Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2hLmb42g2
894Please respect copyright.PENANAbEBe2p0hT7
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..."894Please respect copyright.PENANAWfquTFuYtZ
894Please respect copyright.PENANAs2fqudf6Qq
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.894Please respect copyright.PENANAjU2pOKD98u
894Please respect copyright.PENANA8QfgfSXFdz
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."894Please respect copyright.PENANAHeiYnS2kXl
894Please respect copyright.PENANAcCzAnCHep1
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.894Please respect copyright.PENANAidRgj3t4Sx
894Please respect copyright.PENANAqHQa7yQDVB
"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.894Please respect copyright.PENANA3t3nk00b5o
894Please respect copyright.PENANAla4mZd7Bt6
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"894Please respect copyright.PENANAIsxCENzBDU
894Please respect copyright.PENANAd0nQkqoqFZ
"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.894Please respect copyright.PENANARE3Kl0wM9Y
894Please respect copyright.PENANAu6c3i7AJgG
"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.894Please respect copyright.PENANAiNYXL4pZDK
894Please respect copyright.PENANAUcszlocrtI
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.894Please respect copyright.PENANARR723KhyUG
894Please respect copyright.PENANAiGyYY1JO4V
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."894Please respect copyright.PENANACOEfo8ElyU
894Please respect copyright.PENANAN9DgvQUNAM
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.894Please respect copyright.PENANAZHn8aJoD1E
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.894Please respect copyright.PENANA0wHsc97ECh
894Please respect copyright.PENANAhkq1cbzXSF
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.894Please respect copyright.PENANAi3f613GkKo
894Please respect copyright.PENANAK4Y7cqwzbg
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
