Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.876Please respect copyright.PENANATUdr4y6yrE
876Please respect copyright.PENANAqezoG1nful
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.876Please respect copyright.PENANARgJAVOxg2j
876Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4gePtTlwV
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.876Please respect copyright.PENANAOKqcOTTwrm
876Please respect copyright.PENANARwb7MmSbiT
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.876Please respect copyright.PENANADP5pNvUKQK
876Please respect copyright.PENANAnpoMq8HbsH
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.876Please respect copyright.PENANAEr5WAL6dEX
876Please respect copyright.PENANAIsZVjnbI7S
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.876Please respect copyright.PENANA49TmJNk5SX
876Please respect copyright.PENANA5C1LwZmuEF
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.876Please respect copyright.PENANAJw1P5oCGOI
876Please respect copyright.PENANAzYjttJplnz
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"876Please respect copyright.PENANAyn9Emg7PLm
876Please respect copyright.PENANAqRQiesqaxO
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."876Please respect copyright.PENANAccwelYNXp2
876Please respect copyright.PENANAMm0w6L2GoQ
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."876Please respect copyright.PENANAag0P69DG7X
876Please respect copyright.PENANAFwOIAKfNqc
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.876Please respect copyright.PENANACb47xCnD8f
876Please respect copyright.PENANAklcO8GaORg
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.876Please respect copyright.PENANAnRXElzcq3t
876Please respect copyright.PENANALJ6BhQoF1o
"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.876Please respect copyright.PENANA87HzesOxrT
876Please respect copyright.PENANAe4FbK4DgUm
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?"876Please respect copyright.PENANA8Wx4GaJkNP
876Please respect copyright.PENANAoVtRaGzcEK
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.876Please respect copyright.PENANAvVWGXbVx3g
876Please respect copyright.PENANAje9d5o8nD6
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.876Please respect copyright.PENANA0EeOpVjlpN
876Please respect copyright.PENANAFjrUxJoEFH
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.876Please respect copyright.PENANAazZGF43rQO
876Please respect copyright.PENANAUlki1MmXlw
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.876Please respect copyright.PENANAFK1zgCtrR1
876Please respect copyright.PENANAgwshgoEGF7
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"876Please respect copyright.PENANAjvLuudYHrb
876Please respect copyright.PENANAS77R2qNrFv
"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.876Please respect copyright.PENANA0GOfJ69Pwm
876Please respect copyright.PENANAVUnBykSP3r
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?876Please respect copyright.PENANAu6sQfjs8tR
876Please respect copyright.PENANAFAdISZNQ3C
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.876Please respect copyright.PENANAw5CaNITqaL
876Please respect copyright.PENANALrKEQsMxrJ
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..."876Please respect copyright.PENANAjMrfxX1yyX
876Please respect copyright.PENANACxwualjCH8
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.876Please respect copyright.PENANAveTzkeidF6
876Please respect copyright.PENANASM6zp7PJag
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."876Please respect copyright.PENANAiAbzD5zi8N
876Please respect copyright.PENANAR9Sp1OUZJ4
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.876Please respect copyright.PENANAtJkwK25gCf
876Please respect copyright.PENANADoMwz57SWW
"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.876Please respect copyright.PENANA1ABlU25D52
876Please respect copyright.PENANALkOVkwB6rH
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"876Please respect copyright.PENANA1fhGoOZieV
876Please respect copyright.PENANAEoJ6Krfobr
"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.876Please respect copyright.PENANAQOqsGIOAJ9
876Please respect copyright.PENANAKPOYHj90FC
"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.876Please respect copyright.PENANAIkyh8pNCqA
876Please respect copyright.PENANAeES7U9Wycn
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.876Please respect copyright.PENANABrN9ZmBeMb
876Please respect copyright.PENANAkGMI3QvCsf
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."876Please respect copyright.PENANARUAYfWfKW6
876Please respect copyright.PENANAmybGQIGWyz
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.876Please respect copyright.PENANAjxlRjOVQ53
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.876Please respect copyright.PENANAZmXYDKSBD7
876Please respect copyright.PENANARZTw0typ1l
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.876Please respect copyright.PENANA7ge32R510D
876Please respect copyright.PENANAcyKqFmTfyC
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
