Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.708Please respect copyright.PENANAWrZKlDRJMR
708Please respect copyright.PENANAN2OdKY6NYJ
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAQjZwD1TNIM
708Please respect copyright.PENANAZNNTNTc5EO
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAqpIGYfw4ms
708Please respect copyright.PENANAjyDaBlqnqR
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.708Please respect copyright.PENANAcdvdB0xJ1m
708Please respect copyright.PENANANibGmat5eI
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANA4l65tlaloJ
708Please respect copyright.PENANAu1rpMLOAhd
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAGU4s3VyLIl
708Please respect copyright.PENANAoB2RUgE4Pt
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAO1c4xjSi05
708Please respect copyright.PENANAtFT4fvUfEW
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAU7z9VOLvKe
708Please respect copyright.PENANAuPfC0bfTiw
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."708Please respect copyright.PENANAnxS6xATsfo
708Please respect copyright.PENANAYtPPXmJFpQ
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."708Please respect copyright.PENANA9OlNDkoVC2
708Please respect copyright.PENANA4vhr2LXdq5
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.708Please respect copyright.PENANAPJrbts8Ty6
708Please respect copyright.PENANAK04noxRB0x
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.708Please respect copyright.PENANAn3wRtioNpK
708Please respect copyright.PENANAPcc9RhveNR
"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.708Please respect copyright.PENANADdX5cZtT5B
708Please respect copyright.PENANAFusfLbawlf
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?"708Please respect copyright.PENANA6jthOTnYTl
708Please respect copyright.PENANADiXnG3oYMb
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANACsho7NXwKl
708Please respect copyright.PENANAK7VczzKGLN
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAtwVqAx4dBZ
708Please respect copyright.PENANAuYYj3e4GTA
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.708Please respect copyright.PENANAnX1WeWbPtQ
708Please respect copyright.PENANAaY9euCP9Y6
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.708Please respect copyright.PENANAUynoTUWZ0C
708Please respect copyright.PENANAMYJLCkttpe
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"708Please respect copyright.PENANArLPxg3mlyZ
708Please respect copyright.PENANAq5wXx5LdP3
"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.708Please respect copyright.PENANATyKzzzgutj
708Please respect copyright.PENANA6RH6KwOg6x
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?708Please respect copyright.PENANAqanibaeMqn
708Please respect copyright.PENANAAcCCciiEQC
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.708Please respect copyright.PENANA8KkcfHBv3M
708Please respect copyright.PENANAPZ7nFlWAlE
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..."708Please respect copyright.PENANAmLqz8GFg8f
708Please respect copyright.PENANADfnvsvUQH5
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.708Please respect copyright.PENANAuUnfcKseco
708Please respect copyright.PENANAxPhJKcc3VF
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."708Please respect copyright.PENANATjQ9ed92eT
708Please respect copyright.PENANAdMa15NYpmv
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.708Please respect copyright.PENANAoAgSTMzaiy
708Please respect copyright.PENANARw3Nh8y2Yc
"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.708Please respect copyright.PENANApEF2CvjWzh
708Please respect copyright.PENANAI8Ew5RtKL1
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"708Please respect copyright.PENANA1fZ7Ggui17
708Please respect copyright.PENANAdcDKPep8mI
"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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAjo7uO4zRrg
708Please respect copyright.PENANAU7yZFcmdrW
"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.708Please respect copyright.PENANARjthAV1rYf
708Please respect copyright.PENANAOb7A0mZFgZ
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.708Please respect copyright.PENANAgyNXIa8Hv0
708Please respect copyright.PENANAMw6hnwkqXX
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."708Please respect copyright.PENANAddxWbzre9Q
708Please respect copyright.PENANA5KdtICTMHW
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.708Please respect copyright.PENANAZaAyMUBKhO
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.708Please respect copyright.PENANAvH2IVeEMwi
708Please respect copyright.PENANAbJWeZRrF4U
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.708Please respect copyright.PENANAykhW4edWQy
708Please respect copyright.PENANAbXw1JvxEDQ
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
