Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.758Please respect copyright.PENANAaJAOR7lWV6
758Please respect copyright.PENANAm3lYgPZKDW
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.758Please respect copyright.PENANA4vAhpzcvBB
758Please respect copyright.PENANAHfR3MA7ZMo
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.758Please respect copyright.PENANATPyzIaRNrl
758Please respect copyright.PENANARWVs1IpD90
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.758Please respect copyright.PENANANg1283vKqE
758Please respect copyright.PENANA2vNysWJPUl
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.758Please respect copyright.PENANANwNYCZ3p3S
758Please respect copyright.PENANAlYqWQdGjaM
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.758Please respect copyright.PENANApBLbaxsPlI
758Please respect copyright.PENANAGbUL6SPHrk
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.758Please respect copyright.PENANAKyMg78RFqf
758Please respect copyright.PENANAywS4cTKzxy
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"758Please respect copyright.PENANAiJ3cg8V5HK
758Please respect copyright.PENANArjKX8EUQbN
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."758Please respect copyright.PENANAlGpQyL2O2j
758Please respect copyright.PENANAhU1kVia93M
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."758Please respect copyright.PENANAfMTwGkbAgh
758Please respect copyright.PENANAhmdiHOvTyj
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.758Please respect copyright.PENANAyRjsTXRMBr
758Please respect copyright.PENANA0t8TDfrVr8
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.758Please respect copyright.PENANA0EYSBa9EkX
758Please respect copyright.PENANA2OF1k3MtJf
"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.758Please respect copyright.PENANArixhFWTYF5
758Please respect copyright.PENANAMplgfk7HnG
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?"758Please respect copyright.PENANAPz8WoZ7v3z
758Please respect copyright.PENANAm1iYPD1DkG
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.758Please respect copyright.PENANAKV1K3ivKpw
758Please respect copyright.PENANAlaodZ9YCO2
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.758Please respect copyright.PENANAleMnSuPLM2
758Please respect copyright.PENANA5fN70HvZAC
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.758Please respect copyright.PENANAN4IlgUbOj5
758Please respect copyright.PENANAU8Y2TjIIme
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.758Please respect copyright.PENANAawije79q8u
758Please respect copyright.PENANAiPV625Brpl
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"758Please respect copyright.PENANAmFQt9KuzfQ
758Please respect copyright.PENANA9Mk67q6Pmq
"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.758Please respect copyright.PENANAIFjG4kvwra
758Please respect copyright.PENANA83kAVDR5kn
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?758Please respect copyright.PENANAfEfaq3rf3O
758Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6oq0XtsnE
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.758Please respect copyright.PENANAUS9rgiyviJ
758Please respect copyright.PENANABo0WCG8oly
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..."758Please respect copyright.PENANAb1yi59keov
758Please respect copyright.PENANAvOeUPrt3A9
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.758Please respect copyright.PENANAwZqu5sG4Pe
758Please respect copyright.PENANA47UCV0FyNm
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."758Please respect copyright.PENANAFBOJkZwlQD
758Please respect copyright.PENANAYD6Qlh8Au5
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.758Please respect copyright.PENANAmZBvOzznYA
758Please respect copyright.PENANAhC586on82U
"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.758Please respect copyright.PENANABqmCSTRt9G
758Please respect copyright.PENANA8FZr2kxbPy
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"758Please respect copyright.PENANAHa5quGDQtK
758Please respect copyright.PENANA99m1WXr73g
"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.758Please respect copyright.PENANAiYk78JmdrL
758Please respect copyright.PENANAcvmr3vei85
"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.758Please respect copyright.PENANAQZUBj0GU5r
758Please respect copyright.PENANAwAqdRX101s
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.758Please respect copyright.PENANATDgkibnkvK
758Please respect copyright.PENANACg0XqGdeLU
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."758Please respect copyright.PENANA45X4ffs40C
758Please respect copyright.PENANAvGUeEaqzJW
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.758Please respect copyright.PENANAEknNluaLXd
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.758Please respect copyright.PENANAGmiaznYs7j
758Please respect copyright.PENANAUImlcffEsM
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.758Please respect copyright.PENANAaPANAGyCPR
758Please respect copyright.PENANAJdcgo57CQm
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
