Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.1013Please respect copyright.PENANA2CshZ3zeZ8
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAFZ0kPeMS66
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.1013Please respect copyright.PENANAgz84zozwQf
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAObqBvJuCfG
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.1013Please respect copyright.PENANA2uJbuAkDHF
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAHkm0Zl6TAB
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.1013Please respect copyright.PENANAPAjfiBwtDr
1013Please respect copyright.PENANADs0V1iAhC0
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.1013Please respect copyright.PENANA0u7EyBjkK4
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAfyhpgZG3Od
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.1013Please respect copyright.PENANAbSNbVcF26v
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAxaQAMoeRcl
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.1013Please respect copyright.PENANABuXzcLNfc6
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAo2t18oHSZ9
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"1013Please respect copyright.PENANAVfXwFZ9Td9
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAdOLSMmjzTU
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."1013Please respect copyright.PENANA9K9k75vHH6
1013Please respect copyright.PENANA7zMRK6FV8A
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."1013Please respect copyright.PENANA0iUPO0fGm5
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAxJkpEhoNdJ
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.1013Please respect copyright.PENANAT5Hu5mz6KG
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAkvcdxvF4vO
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.1013Please respect copyright.PENANAqyjWowlddw
1013Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ip160Lh49
"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.1013Please respect copyright.PENANACHRLgkbh6l
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAQPNDA0oYbJ
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?"1013Please respect copyright.PENANAjKXtbj41Qi
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAqypL2AZgC0
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.1013Please respect copyright.PENANAzWW2g7OC6A
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAZh61PsBABi
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.1013Please respect copyright.PENANAxYTsQAQiKD
1013Please respect copyright.PENANA3sFlSYEqox
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.1013Please respect copyright.PENANAx4CJNsqD2T
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAvG0Ty4mfCS
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.1013Please respect copyright.PENANAoek1yrrZLC
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAXP8rzfvowT
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"1013Please respect copyright.PENANAQcsCgY09mf
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAwyf3zX7V7m
"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.1013Please respect copyright.PENANAU53WV6clzl
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAf2aZMhnMeq
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?1013Please respect copyright.PENANAuiDu7kpGEA
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAScu3FQW6IV
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.1013Please respect copyright.PENANADVpKJwovEZ
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAZMCsVsqo1Y
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..."1013Please respect copyright.PENANA7AghXpTRyH
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAuqWtgi9Aqx
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.1013Please respect copyright.PENANAOr1HWkVSAz
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAU0DSlfCw7B
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."1013Please respect copyright.PENANAOuNX9sxEVX
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAtJtJWb28Tt
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.1013Please respect copyright.PENANAcysxTHYYWg
1013Please respect copyright.PENANA7rwZRvtFGd
"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.1013Please respect copyright.PENANA1r2C9WvNoD
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAkUpfyGfFdv
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"1013Please respect copyright.PENANAuiVSUGbt3I
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAp9zVWRbHUg
"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.1013Please respect copyright.PENANAIfgphtPyZA
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAS4DKVTm4kU
"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.1013Please respect copyright.PENANAhT0mEjn8oO
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAPH5wHE9LIU
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.1013Please respect copyright.PENANAtJi6mcRccj
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAxFx1EkVs2r
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."1013Please respect copyright.PENANAx21pGQDMiv
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAXEVpaSQrba
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.1013Please respect copyright.PENANAQxBO3aTquy
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.1013Please respect copyright.PENANA42ZlSMUJaj
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAUfn5EqPi6z
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.1013Please respect copyright.PENANADLYfDNQjCy
1013Please respect copyright.PENANAriQkLNmCkc
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
