Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.973Please respect copyright.PENANAgDUKqF2Bqx
973Please respect copyright.PENANA6d9B1hYs0B
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.973Please respect copyright.PENANAWcuO8nwVP9
973Please respect copyright.PENANA0QrQXxAxqI
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.973Please respect copyright.PENANAOn7nfn6eg6
973Please respect copyright.PENANA859RIp80WV
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.973Please respect copyright.PENANAlNRgbhgv8V
973Please respect copyright.PENANAOyr3oKNYIV
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.973Please respect copyright.PENANA0fH3CZHguc
973Please respect copyright.PENANAF4cqeFUhHZ
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.973Please respect copyright.PENANAT6UOqbCKC3
973Please respect copyright.PENANAJNK5by1mfR
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.973Please respect copyright.PENANAQue6a2J05y
973Please respect copyright.PENANA49MKwLRdQi
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"973Please respect copyright.PENANA4b2fOMVB4s
973Please respect copyright.PENANAZaIAXXc8FN
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."973Please respect copyright.PENANAQz1sGpZrtb
973Please respect copyright.PENANAnNMcA4Kbwd
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."973Please respect copyright.PENANAixoZUDh9AJ
973Please respect copyright.PENANALAtU3ImLRm
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.973Please respect copyright.PENANAt5WrMDjCGH
973Please respect copyright.PENANABbVFSUIknK
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.973Please respect copyright.PENANAifqD6NnseL
973Please respect copyright.PENANAWHAC5ho7je
"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.973Please respect copyright.PENANAA1LPei9LGk
973Please respect copyright.PENANAhSUYcmMeEc
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?"973Please respect copyright.PENANAF7r95Clxua
973Please respect copyright.PENANA1NQzyZpkwV
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.973Please respect copyright.PENANAEpcTP13aA1
973Please respect copyright.PENANAPXDT8YN0RG
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.973Please respect copyright.PENANA79VPWp04vk
973Please respect copyright.PENANAvfb7tUPNWL
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.973Please respect copyright.PENANA9xaCtC6qN5
973Please respect copyright.PENANAs93RQ73NcF
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.973Please respect copyright.PENANAcP7Vrvnt63
973Please respect copyright.PENANA00MIk0QhFP
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"973Please respect copyright.PENANAq28OjQEUiw
973Please respect copyright.PENANAHGqoferebb
"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.973Please respect copyright.PENANAUV9f2UKyEd
973Please respect copyright.PENANAsf1vyyvxCe
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?973Please respect copyright.PENANAsjSYABo1Et
973Please respect copyright.PENANASaCMpOoUsj
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.973Please respect copyright.PENANA5CZgeqcLH1
973Please respect copyright.PENANACoVZiBuBj1
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..."973Please respect copyright.PENANAhVCH0urdYg
973Please respect copyright.PENANAi96doPlCdR
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.973Please respect copyright.PENANAu1ulobKUAY
973Please respect copyright.PENANA5pNtJrbQa7
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."973Please respect copyright.PENANAjgF9Z4yzK9
973Please respect copyright.PENANAc2J4Irptju
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.973Please respect copyright.PENANAF0eAIo32hp
973Please respect copyright.PENANApxJC7mSEwP
"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.973Please respect copyright.PENANAni7N3QsTLz
973Please respect copyright.PENANAhvA4NX6J1N
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"973Please respect copyright.PENANAUbwVTVcPga
973Please respect copyright.PENANAfFzs8RyNY0
"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.973Please respect copyright.PENANAJZ5hudV26d
973Please respect copyright.PENANA8Hcnw0ksfB
"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.973Please respect copyright.PENANAouAcTtV5cl
973Please respect copyright.PENANAgGK0VfmAl3
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.973Please respect copyright.PENANAedgggrWYav
973Please respect copyright.PENANARJBchUaHUs
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."973Please respect copyright.PENANACAvs7nQ7eM
973Please respect copyright.PENANAMM7wE4GVNf
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.973Please respect copyright.PENANArTkFQK9yVI
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.973Please respect copyright.PENANARecGzAEFfX
973Please respect copyright.PENANABSRj2jAPj8
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.973Please respect copyright.PENANAHtrbuZzRf6
973Please respect copyright.PENANA6e2w4rtZvL
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
