Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.685Please respect copyright.PENANA4QIjQzwMo2
685Please respect copyright.PENANAtUjImGHlna
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.685Please respect copyright.PENANANAdC5iXpzH
685Please respect copyright.PENANAhvk6rpXTkS
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.685Please respect copyright.PENANArITV4S2dRx
685Please respect copyright.PENANAdqgkBsfWe9
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.685Please respect copyright.PENANAw45kXYW8AZ
685Please respect copyright.PENANAOVvIzixxJq
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.685Please respect copyright.PENANA6r5r8dw7CP
685Please respect copyright.PENANAGRS2YxbU56
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.685Please respect copyright.PENANASnzXwsJITR
685Please respect copyright.PENANA0mMQTztJTM
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.685Please respect copyright.PENANAT87tZGlFFf
685Please respect copyright.PENANAVlnfT5bNfk
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"685Please respect copyright.PENANAqMLKQAO7jq
685Please respect copyright.PENANAKwcEcVPYGS
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."685Please respect copyright.PENANAnHmCw5ufoB
685Please respect copyright.PENANAJy61HwkX9t
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."685Please respect copyright.PENANA3nA9NJjHrh
685Please respect copyright.PENANAmjFPgSgn7I
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.685Please respect copyright.PENANAklXQHOltQ6
685Please respect copyright.PENANApZMAG9WeCG
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.685Please respect copyright.PENANAo4J2bfoQ6S
685Please respect copyright.PENANArmiUM6AInm
"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.685Please respect copyright.PENANA6hHOUo6dvk
685Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zx39bdF0L
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?"685Please respect copyright.PENANA1L4XuzCO4f
685Please respect copyright.PENANAdOLbQuGDe3
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.685Please respect copyright.PENANA13l0bm7LWy
685Please respect copyright.PENANAHIixAxxUbI
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.685Please respect copyright.PENANAFg57hDJVFj
685Please respect copyright.PENANA6kH9WefSOm
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.685Please respect copyright.PENANAIb6MIjcXjU
685Please respect copyright.PENANATeo1hBfhiX
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.685Please respect copyright.PENANAzYo9va626W
685Please respect copyright.PENANA91ONtlogtS
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"685Please respect copyright.PENANA50VreFUxxO
685Please respect copyright.PENANAAcfFwrjd1k
"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.685Please respect copyright.PENANAUS7yqwj5D4
685Please respect copyright.PENANAYiNrtphiwe
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?685Please respect copyright.PENANA0cxzw3x7Gp
685Please respect copyright.PENANA1MhSRX7CPT
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.685Please respect copyright.PENANAAp38enKPC2
685Please respect copyright.PENANAMDsqEhMvXr
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..."685Please respect copyright.PENANAGfsDPYOeiX
685Please respect copyright.PENANARKp38u3zN3
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.685Please respect copyright.PENANAJibkTfNMBW
685Please respect copyright.PENANAs97zds12Sw
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."685Please respect copyright.PENANAcPt2BPX94q
685Please respect copyright.PENANAL5uEr78wOi
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.685Please respect copyright.PENANAhMZeSvocgG
685Please respect copyright.PENANAlEw9F8RiCF
"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.685Please respect copyright.PENANAafa6w0bOmr
685Please respect copyright.PENANA9FD3DVGMV9
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"685Please respect copyright.PENANAknDaw004it
685Please respect copyright.PENANAgoL67IHTUK
"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.685Please respect copyright.PENANAp9BG3TMPoe
685Please respect copyright.PENANAQfovaBBBza
"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.685Please respect copyright.PENANAUGx9ooHldS
685Please respect copyright.PENANAPumjOWXgYb
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.685Please respect copyright.PENANAnCxLqUYGBK
685Please respect copyright.PENANALjNRFPeI7j
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."685Please respect copyright.PENANAcmEMqzSkYe
685Please respect copyright.PENANA8Obmxd20nO
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.685Please respect copyright.PENANAH39crcdHPY
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.685Please respect copyright.PENANA3MDw7X60bQ
685Please respect copyright.PENANAirO1w2iXUN
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.685Please respect copyright.PENANAf77kiHwvMy
685Please respect copyright.PENANAKLv5MTdCTM
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
