Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.1033Please respect copyright.PENANA4gJfwGEbi7
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAcujKZHHo0m
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.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAeKYN2hp86e
1033Please respect copyright.PENANANrvUGsOa5l
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.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAt0KXYQF2gk
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAkCEwhT6owX
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAPEgUXyYyju
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAsmQd5RASdH
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.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAuQCa5iAZi4
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAjH2V2ZPRry
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.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAVhgz69syhu
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAvIgrxLxiJs
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.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAVYX5nNFQ7H
1033Please respect copyright.PENANALo8gih7Mxd
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"1033Please respect copyright.PENANA1XWoj11lwC
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAJdk1SoGDSS
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."1033Please respect copyright.PENANAwDYRjINTTp
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAzvV36TRbTT
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."1033Please respect copyright.PENANAqL6EoqMobT
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAiz31QLGDKy
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.1033Please respect copyright.PENANA9FiF9Cx1fL
1033Please respect copyright.PENANA4INcbomsbJ
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.1033Please respect copyright.PENANA4u2cvPy5pZ
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAUyeE2ZrpoO
"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.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAHhJYLkZ2cg
1033Please respect copyright.PENANA7y7U4kzLio
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?"1033Please respect copyright.PENANA2f9t97YG8F
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAPUpzceRCfE
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.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAYNn9rW5Bmd
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAsx4TXqS1YG
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.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAMo2g1VvQjc
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAsSfrXECSEN
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.1033Please respect copyright.PENANANRXC4xV2gd
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAOlD0V4IOts
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAw9UHHgUtBl
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAmq2MEhMgc6
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"1033Please respect copyright.PENANAEEUJi3jQeQ
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAmNergJ4IOo
"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.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAkVOQkvS1mz
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAyiDg1BsKsw
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?1033Please respect copyright.PENANAX3K9rScBgh
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAXE8apZREMD
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAgmJ432vdZ6
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAkreMZY0wrg
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..."1033Please respect copyright.PENANA04s2zNOjw2
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAbDRnmtPrJw
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAN5Oo3N2Oab
1033Please respect copyright.PENANACLSLb0uOnj
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."1033Please respect copyright.PENANA763COfOwUU
1033Please respect copyright.PENANA6KSpqujA9l
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAAS2nPo09la
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAq6kip1wcIu
"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.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAzgTkva2smA
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAt7xWDnvsmE
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"1033Please respect copyright.PENANAbWelei8unq
1033Please respect copyright.PENANADV0Jv0NVGm
"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.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAkwfDFaykgM
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAgTnj8NGfb7
"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.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAD6CAHRtPYs
1033Please respect copyright.PENANA6zYZn6R0td
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAl3e15DpIHg
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAfYUKu8KjRF
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."1033Please respect copyright.PENANAbNnn6JdEI4
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAl06M5po7DH
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAQs4cPGNaiR
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAMKJgbTWypy
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAInv5sTQqmk
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAHmSWsXWCYL
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAzOa4GEfOHw
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
