Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9cfQkvc8M
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJlKcWTiix
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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRwAZ8dhOP
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdwu70UIzP
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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M84dDpNll
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIIsqOU0CB
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7uUVsMxbF
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9FoZdkRXo
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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MYlS4D7Fa
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9DBcRYbZJ
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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fTH9LiOk3
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1Meo7DU9F
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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp29Ubx2qr
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUHlPQxf32
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQXlCuTcRB
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Oupma36lM
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."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExecnkdTMU
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wk1L7AA8u
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSwsJETLVP
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9MiHwupG5
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYIoznzOko
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesbRq1LVKJ
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyWTc7dZKs
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmeNKZCZYU
"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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lZwTmFcua
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzxG1SyGY2
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?"1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnk8QZE2fE
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZzyCeufDm
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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPDT5U7lGI
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YzXoP5UzD
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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdUXYG1u6I
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcONiwkKPP
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaRMuCXQuN
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5bMz7zw1f
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp5Kava3ir
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLIkSTWr4b
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLKuf6JUol
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYqlJvAbPF
"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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KF6cI88pG
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUr1WxB36D
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmg1FtbCti
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GwcTrsGyg
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2chG4Wa5I
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu7UY2GW9B
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..."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZBm3e62aG
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54B2x6Q8Po
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi9zU1v8AC
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrljE13zD48
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."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iSwdiCfx0
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2nmsmSTT5
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFib25oFAJP
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM38PdyFPTI
"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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOE9SUgMPS
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu82qZhhuR
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdHNO8l02O
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVQ5w5WFmn
"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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIh7U0lmQ9
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg2sJ5hMWM
"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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cSbMWREFe
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQjyT1xLUa
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH1VHNlthO
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg0P3vvxdK
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."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTjHERTwAv
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKFB6eS9Hq
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV4i3QOytD
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTNiJuX4Vc
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJWnckgtif
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjkmRZyTR7
1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0iNmnJAvq
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
