Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.921Please respect copyright.PENANAirIRxDjIDW
921Please respect copyright.PENANABkCXGTw3dB
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.921Please respect copyright.PENANATahZ2fupkB
921Please respect copyright.PENANAyqlyGjsuP2
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.921Please respect copyright.PENANAGUWqPmbzFd
921Please respect copyright.PENANAkIImvCdYv5
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.921Please respect copyright.PENANAqxZavdRPLM
921Please respect copyright.PENANAiE5WKaiGRZ
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.921Please respect copyright.PENANArHqlCcKecM
921Please respect copyright.PENANAq6UUMsEQXe
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.921Please respect copyright.PENANA7HKEzFkOVE
921Please respect copyright.PENANAeLlA8VJddo
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.921Please respect copyright.PENANAWA04mJ1OgY
921Please respect copyright.PENANAf3Jg53SCEb
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"921Please respect copyright.PENANA2rNkeDvWfP
921Please respect copyright.PENANAHqgHrFQFi2
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."921Please respect copyright.PENANAtnoRnoDBF2
921Please respect copyright.PENANAH2478VRtGF
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."921Please respect copyright.PENANAiIlxZPsPHz
921Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3MMLyaQ6Q
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.921Please respect copyright.PENANAxmycQ49VaJ
921Please respect copyright.PENANArZjrVc2Hd1
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.921Please respect copyright.PENANAmawVgNJZub
921Please respect copyright.PENANAGLYYuzjXwD
"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.921Please respect copyright.PENANAHP8TSe0Y1C
921Please respect copyright.PENANAq0qwEk9dVS
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?"921Please respect copyright.PENANAKqydMervEk
921Please respect copyright.PENANA9ls9eHCIgz
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.921Please respect copyright.PENANANqAMsj9S2V
921Please respect copyright.PENANAxwfPyBCAwx
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.921Please respect copyright.PENANA75BCH7PqfD
921Please respect copyright.PENANAikknlKRqYQ
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.921Please respect copyright.PENANAh0fizFDoHv
921Please respect copyright.PENANAmIIHbngzM3
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.921Please respect copyright.PENANAGzttoOIaCt
921Please respect copyright.PENANAnQn3PAIuBY
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"921Please respect copyright.PENANAOjV5kL7n17
921Please respect copyright.PENANAf1Esef8h0T
"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.921Please respect copyright.PENANAbKnEQS4QvF
921Please respect copyright.PENANA6E9kWk8Nx4
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?921Please respect copyright.PENANAxDE5lg5E4P
921Please respect copyright.PENANAUAQqFPJ0f2
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.921Please respect copyright.PENANAR9FwB2R3qI
921Please respect copyright.PENANAeiLz6w4RQs
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..."921Please respect copyright.PENANAB4jmnrbRXX
921Please respect copyright.PENANAz6MujudH88
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.921Please respect copyright.PENANAxzd7XVshjD
921Please respect copyright.PENANA6cYCbcTwVR
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."921Please respect copyright.PENANAnSFFvmlYZx
921Please respect copyright.PENANAUJnyEqDg5L
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.921Please respect copyright.PENANAL4l8tytVyi
921Please respect copyright.PENANAl3MNKEDfzG
"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.921Please respect copyright.PENANA2WkhqiTeYy
921Please respect copyright.PENANAtsOO9bsWXq
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"921Please respect copyright.PENANAMlTi47Fj7f
921Please respect copyright.PENANA5SzCfB6kYC
"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.921Please respect copyright.PENANAHZHsniq2U9
921Please respect copyright.PENANAm145GuyBN2
"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.921Please respect copyright.PENANA2z36GZBSsV
921Please respect copyright.PENANAujgl03qVHC
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.921Please respect copyright.PENANAqHEotn6O3r
921Please respect copyright.PENANAaCcvfdu463
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."921Please respect copyright.PENANAIg7LA8SnzF
921Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ2mwMug49
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.921Please respect copyright.PENANALEaPmDpnv6
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.921Please respect copyright.PENANAMztBCAq78w
921Please respect copyright.PENANAnj3KT6kd1F
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.921Please respect copyright.PENANAWNFMLhUvFH
921Please respect copyright.PENANAz7qCpOj0Z2
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
