Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.999Please respect copyright.PENANA4jOyAnUDvS
999Please respect copyright.PENANAHaYOz52mrK
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.999Please respect copyright.PENANAW9kVPoB5jj
999Please respect copyright.PENANAWrD6DsMnLS
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.999Please respect copyright.PENANABBzruZtsOR
999Please respect copyright.PENANAi0CUBGeB45
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.999Please respect copyright.PENANAuRGNpE6FCk
999Please respect copyright.PENANA4qSsiHDAqu
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.999Please respect copyright.PENANADVbhEJDeK2
999Please respect copyright.PENANAXnShrvbMjg
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.999Please respect copyright.PENANA1AGkWVHNSq
999Please respect copyright.PENANAuORM8iKSpI
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.999Please respect copyright.PENANAfb0UGQ9DqF
999Please respect copyright.PENANAXS1uZz40bN
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"999Please respect copyright.PENANAPE24JWN9ag
999Please respect copyright.PENANAVjbJmwFPYq
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."999Please respect copyright.PENANAl5z3PiD9lR
999Please respect copyright.PENANALpmenZ37RW
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."999Please respect copyright.PENANAuhNTasAIZq
999Please respect copyright.PENANAFkttovqfMK
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.999Please respect copyright.PENANA3qZtWs03Gw
999Please respect copyright.PENANA9Taj7WXHXR
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.999Please respect copyright.PENANAoSUzwrC9an
999Please respect copyright.PENANA6qPIyiszO1
"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.999Please respect copyright.PENANAaORcXSC0O5
999Please respect copyright.PENANA5Pbw32700S
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?"999Please respect copyright.PENANAtZKvFQtpZb
999Please respect copyright.PENANAG6p6EsKI1Q
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.999Please respect copyright.PENANAjN4Y3r67yD
999Please respect copyright.PENANAvEL3mhq8f1
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.999Please respect copyright.PENANAUKqzVSFB7q
999Please respect copyright.PENANAx9mFAm5OkQ
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.999Please respect copyright.PENANAryE1KStzQP
999Please respect copyright.PENANAztR7emwQmk
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.999Please respect copyright.PENANAQRXHM53N3C
999Please respect copyright.PENANAh3i9Xz9ucw
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"999Please respect copyright.PENANAmGN9UPIeWJ
999Please respect copyright.PENANANcS8TZYWic
"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.999Please respect copyright.PENANA5hVqtjDYEL
999Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7INAcHY7P
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?999Please respect copyright.PENANA9PntC815fr
999Please respect copyright.PENANAOUNp7GBsUf
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.999Please respect copyright.PENANAOGzCWo6KIo
999Please respect copyright.PENANAyJ0dwySm1q
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..."999Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xkv0p9U2F
999Please respect copyright.PENANAcNtWXzvisN
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.999Please respect copyright.PENANAPH0koda3oM
999Please respect copyright.PENANA1MwwZcaFBP
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."999Please respect copyright.PENANADegM29783e
999Please respect copyright.PENANA00gsp0QCBq
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.999Please respect copyright.PENANA4AavMp09P6
999Please respect copyright.PENANAP9plZfFBav
"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.999Please respect copyright.PENANAf3Pco2KYg4
999Please respect copyright.PENANAuCmg0JpH02
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"999Please respect copyright.PENANA5wSaTsqqYP
999Please respect copyright.PENANABTwtbQq81R
"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.999Please respect copyright.PENANA30X4lTI1BW
999Please respect copyright.PENANATShmWVTTGr
"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.999Please respect copyright.PENANA4lpSpsKRYY
999Please respect copyright.PENANAcZgYq7sdgC
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.999Please respect copyright.PENANA56Wkh5FG4s
999Please respect copyright.PENANAIZgVGLZ4I8
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."999Please respect copyright.PENANAFgkCkroKd2
999Please respect copyright.PENANALlNPg7vtxG
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.999Please respect copyright.PENANAJBIHLjiGfn
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.999Please respect copyright.PENANAuYnfBRcMAj
999Please respect copyright.PENANA9pJqQOz2uW
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.999Please respect copyright.PENANAwPDF9gvmZQ
999Please respect copyright.PENANAA70qMQF1Q4
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
