Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zJ2ZDPCEA
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBaLtBmQGT
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.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EOX2gAdIi
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUqT7HZV6g
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.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbxHU6Kh6W
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jCZWXyhDp
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lyaF4hBxO
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1J1OjWuNn
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.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKJ3PQBtNl
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4Q39xbkhn
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.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNyDVRM3sV
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LiXi73cGR
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.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSmNb0Sl3I
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaC4UmUECf
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOur9HKlPiO
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhc8FhRS7f
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."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IVH0C1sBm
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpwgqROm4u
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dxdrkJXTR
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsm74eezJN
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyJHSdtMIt
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRkOeGCx7Q
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvmgPkeiHW
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI9pebLlxB
"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.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkrN7HRuGY
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7wK3VqiaS
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?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV2MVD08gG
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC4mJdCtYM
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.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6BnaiXDa9
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V9Cckntwz
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.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBNefka75g
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblPitwFERD
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRQzOjxDHa
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63hUpgvWZi
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdwsVXHErc
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxZ1gvLotu
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8bI8k1WvD
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXQv7U9Fra
"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.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFQ0sOaXa2
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpTQ7Izn5l
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bKXEY7d01
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9HjykRr3y
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbB0NdjW6q
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLTdk0WaGn
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..."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBx6FtGl9L
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp6VhJTNl1
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2pFmoneGL
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jR4teLji1
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."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mhZKS10mv
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC5zrhq5gU
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThz5URvsyK
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2b0CDBmsA
"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.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2crDTDSZz4
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6tISYekKG
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4pfqunpdg
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0ZBZun1op
"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.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg8WYemYEu
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxzLX1XG35
"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.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVOQSsMCJe
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsAbPrNUjN
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi5XnsOXfG
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyotbbVwZaJ
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."857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pE9RQtvna
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoU5eoarDE
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61RgvRD6Qg
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE2Ro0GMJu
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBOp5GeQa0
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnnzE1QpTa
857Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJVGfFrLsD
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
