Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.1018Please respect copyright.PENANACDKCGSRuli
1018Please respect copyright.PENANA29lS0Jlrbi
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.1018Please respect copyright.PENANAME15bobdGM
1018Please respect copyright.PENANATf35DKo4Xg
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.1018Please respect copyright.PENANA5eeLUe9zvS
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAD8zjJHaMXe
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.1018Please respect copyright.PENANA5wiWaBMBm2
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAoBGO0uzUJr
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.1018Please respect copyright.PENANAvivg3F3WOR
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAOE4aNrVALP
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.1018Please respect copyright.PENANAqAjoao55Xd
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAehc2L3J0cJ
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.1018Please respect copyright.PENANA6jG8OPunwU
1018Please respect copyright.PENANABMafKF5aS7
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"1018Please respect copyright.PENANAFOvGHkddMC
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAKz045U7x4S
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."1018Please respect copyright.PENANARERuT9v4af
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAcyOOHQDzeE
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."1018Please respect copyright.PENANAoQlpkhaBMo
1018Please respect copyright.PENANADBP3y4rwAK
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.1018Please respect copyright.PENANAuDjVPC2i7V
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAWryj4YGFM9
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.1018Please respect copyright.PENANAgv4YHVGpPu
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAkKDoFxppLx
"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.1018Please respect copyright.PENANAcTlRVgOuaZ
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAN690yTQrK8
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?"1018Please respect copyright.PENANADQNmH9crZA
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAlnmDdUMR9b
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.1018Please respect copyright.PENANAAR4qhtOlvB
1018Please respect copyright.PENANA65urmh8cas
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.1018Please respect copyright.PENANAtBHI8YgY0N
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAIbyaB9YFLP
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.1018Please respect copyright.PENANAkkkK9gSKFS
1018Please respect copyright.PENANA7gUVi3Uy8x
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.1018Please respect copyright.PENANAFwuUUSHljO
1018Please respect copyright.PENANA3lhH0thAwK
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"1018Please respect copyright.PENANAc04bIj1itS
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAfBzHQ4cqgs
"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.1018Please respect copyright.PENANAI6CvvAm8El
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAY7m54CjM8t
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?1018Please respect copyright.PENANAaZDOuPpKeY
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAi6ovKewltg
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.1018Please respect copyright.PENANA36HpizJSvE
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAPCdDQ0zHCZ
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..."1018Please respect copyright.PENANARC5XvWVw89
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAgO6DsCMzAk
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.1018Please respect copyright.PENANAfCMuWgWkMu
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAjNU95JlUiN
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."1018Please respect copyright.PENANA6kRh9WFUCM
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAR81smXD1EQ
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.1018Please respect copyright.PENANAz69k42jAsS
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAc9RX39quz1
"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.1018Please respect copyright.PENANAohDvLcyQ7S
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAlQDJmUadrp
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"1018Please respect copyright.PENANA8gtWsNNdpv
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAyK7b8lSHvB
"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.1018Please respect copyright.PENANAp09NStoOTx
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAuwoDXKVXy1
"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.1018Please respect copyright.PENANAkNYrADDx09
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAnKIjZ0vFjV
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.1018Please respect copyright.PENANAs6RRtNOg6o
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAKg5aDM1LNx
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."1018Please respect copyright.PENANADjXcVLHEUb
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAkR95iBuyep
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.1018Please respect copyright.PENANA5VrP16UKIZ
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.1018Please respect copyright.PENANAQKWZTZoXKg
1018Please respect copyright.PENANAtWT3SDhJVq
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.1018Please respect copyright.PENANAshvuQoIFUT
1018Please respect copyright.PENANA4b0Lgdxhv2
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
