Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.1295Please respect copyright.PENANA7XVUSpy2SU
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAlTVnyuFkFJ
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.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAifRBvgwRkX
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAKN2Q17rap9
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.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAiwaM3hJC6E
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAo7lw4ykfyT
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAyirxnjDpsP
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAQuXCM5YlOZ
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.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAIuXZsRg0d8
1295Please respect copyright.PENANA4oFG97cChp
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.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAoxvhNmGcHJ
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAKDYGPQFAls
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.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAMUuEqx0jBZ
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAZrn81JiIKs
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"1295Please respect copyright.PENANASKhIBWEnZT
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAS4O4aucKnx
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."1295Please respect copyright.PENANAPCdzD4KHG5
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAYVxIlI5wEX
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."1295Please respect copyright.PENANAhPki0Dg95T
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAcOrREJs5cy
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.1295Please respect copyright.PENANASjlEysdS0v
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAF3gVeMApSU
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAKPR6XskkiY
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5bOEORymk
"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.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAFpywGLqTjw
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAZYXNSv8lmJ
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?"1295Please respect copyright.PENANAKFs2BVbWWg
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAPWoydrJISn
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.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAx0DVS6rAHF
1295Please respect copyright.PENANABMEjAv7DY4
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.1295Please respect copyright.PENANA9G2iStxtPV
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAT4UT9OPcA3
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAupGHE6NfqK
1295Please respect copyright.PENANALZJVSg1i13
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAA9bPicEXTy
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAC6hzJIIIkj
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"1295Please respect copyright.PENANAA3GapcDFVd
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAy6GZIINSSp
"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.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAO0XbmyhFrc
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAtH8qT4moUL
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?1295Please respect copyright.PENANAYHUuw1xFXr
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAvcCyFeg4Xv
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAxd5u7AjOOD
1295Please respect copyright.PENANALBeLlJUhI5
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..."1295Please respect copyright.PENANAdQDyxDTrgM
1295Please respect copyright.PENANA6MCIA9HMLM
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAffouQrNR6n
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAep699sLdcw
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."1295Please respect copyright.PENANAHagfAUuxzu
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAyeOsPQtreF
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAYuvbPtFaWy
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAxmgYAKtf6B
"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.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAesKpf2U6UC
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAamr8K9qNEy
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"1295Please respect copyright.PENANA7W4wRjw33z
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAgMA6IX9Me9
"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.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAYErlijP3Ok
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAWrIVJ8ci5D
"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.1295Please respect copyright.PENANA28vATReRwN
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAivCe64nXpG
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAyejmuj4X3z
1295Please respect copyright.PENANANorRV6wHCo
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."1295Please respect copyright.PENANA1EbTV8zcZ0
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAunqMRhBSnq
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAHxJvdyv5ZH
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAIR7Y1eWFVG
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAwNdXAn5N1J
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.1295Please respect copyright.PENANAfydLsZbigK
1295Please respect copyright.PENANAdaJZP9ltUA
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
