Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.971Please respect copyright.PENANAwJBcLHUuhs
971Please respect copyright.PENANA7hNb8FhBYm
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.971Please respect copyright.PENANA6hVyebQ3i7
971Please respect copyright.PENANAbGrg2QPV3W
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.971Please respect copyright.PENANAx2KAqCa1xS
971Please respect copyright.PENANAyEw4cu53vy
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.971Please respect copyright.PENANAYe7E5vk1HY
971Please respect copyright.PENANAcbpcGCCOyu
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.971Please respect copyright.PENANALZlZbzWHEg
971Please respect copyright.PENANATDSnIgVWN8
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.971Please respect copyright.PENANA3HTUU6ipjS
971Please respect copyright.PENANA504yYwkznf
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.971Please respect copyright.PENANAchDfDzClzw
971Please respect copyright.PENANAkVozlqNV5j
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"971Please respect copyright.PENANAabpXlt3hOC
971Please respect copyright.PENANAMT54xptdic
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."971Please respect copyright.PENANAvWeaRDRM0l
971Please respect copyright.PENANAI9AmyJhwj3
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."971Please respect copyright.PENANAh9aHENZgUd
971Please respect copyright.PENANAUmxzuqQR0E
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.971Please respect copyright.PENANApQamxKBLNb
971Please respect copyright.PENANA6YVsDwByVl
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.971Please respect copyright.PENANAVZOs5nEvzp
971Please respect copyright.PENANAnPmlApy5Tq
"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.971Please respect copyright.PENANAArU6A21lx9
971Please respect copyright.PENANAFIA2UHtQZl
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?"971Please respect copyright.PENANAGuJvn1BiKO
971Please respect copyright.PENANAwWsrnUsKjB
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.971Please respect copyright.PENANAkZblWYwwgq
971Please respect copyright.PENANAUBflceC3Qy
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.971Please respect copyright.PENANA4MQbRqb17K
971Please respect copyright.PENANAr26LDRDpgR
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.971Please respect copyright.PENANAq7dh7u3L0A
971Please respect copyright.PENANAU6OqySFeNr
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.971Please respect copyright.PENANAVv4UGiyUtS
971Please respect copyright.PENANAQClEKbIrXS
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"971Please respect copyright.PENANA1t32eWyIag
971Please respect copyright.PENANAIIESHYFNi3
"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.971Please respect copyright.PENANAj14VTK1Qx9
971Please respect copyright.PENANAj0iAWBBiNi
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?971Please respect copyright.PENANAfyHdlVZuar
971Please respect copyright.PENANAf3I4fJOMKU
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.971Please respect copyright.PENANAqFJzPpI9ZT
971Please respect copyright.PENANAuXD6lYES0X
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..."971Please respect copyright.PENANARbdN7saESa
971Please respect copyright.PENANAn99oXE2js1
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.971Please respect copyright.PENANAvcdLxGIoel
971Please respect copyright.PENANAFj1hYGsbxv
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."971Please respect copyright.PENANAY0GiuThMGA
971Please respect copyright.PENANAJ08LvoSxux
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.971Please respect copyright.PENANAC3hlGCfud2
971Please respect copyright.PENANAmJ6xq57Ka7
"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.971Please respect copyright.PENANA245DYVaatw
971Please respect copyright.PENANAhx5meC9mfk
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"971Please respect copyright.PENANAU0JWJ3ZtLc
971Please respect copyright.PENANAMs5B5VUmND
"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.971Please respect copyright.PENANApj8VGGdqo6
971Please respect copyright.PENANAulyYk5iens
"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.971Please respect copyright.PENANAAaXVvnAfdr
971Please respect copyright.PENANASdRylgtCan
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.971Please respect copyright.PENANA2uqjw3qWEb
971Please respect copyright.PENANAZu9YikrXR7
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."971Please respect copyright.PENANAgGhBvakOz6
971Please respect copyright.PENANAb7HwqoPnm2
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.971Please respect copyright.PENANAMmBAAlCVcm
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.971Please respect copyright.PENANAjgaQOWJQi2
971Please respect copyright.PENANAfSw3GG8Qt1
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.971Please respect copyright.PENANAntRsR0KMxq
971Please respect copyright.PENANA8TaUSzyWer
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
