Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.974Please respect copyright.PENANAkhAlVR3FTZ
974Please respect copyright.PENANAVQN4m4hYdh
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.974Please respect copyright.PENANAkB7Uq4OUfj
974Please respect copyright.PENANAS95HaetAJp
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.974Please respect copyright.PENANA3MB9li27T5
974Please respect copyright.PENANArDtOPhnUdK
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.974Please respect copyright.PENANA3DyDdireDE
974Please respect copyright.PENANAdeqPt9vmog
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.974Please respect copyright.PENANAEIzTNpeEpw
974Please respect copyright.PENANA50cqSLh0oa
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.974Please respect copyright.PENANAUoBHxuaxLH
974Please respect copyright.PENANA8oTGH5Zu2I
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.974Please respect copyright.PENANAYk09cCYg6m
974Please respect copyright.PENANAZkzIjNgfOB
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"974Please respect copyright.PENANA9OZbr5eW6P
974Please respect copyright.PENANAbtMXAl9C3T
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."974Please respect copyright.PENANAmAAA0K2E0n
974Please respect copyright.PENANAXtHErPOP7N
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."974Please respect copyright.PENANAOZuXL5fwbC
974Please respect copyright.PENANAIK2vsEvsnj
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.974Please respect copyright.PENANA89JXvGqnv9
974Please respect copyright.PENANAO9wRzh27qc
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.974Please respect copyright.PENANA0VgNZFZR6S
974Please respect copyright.PENANAYdZqOIP96o
"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.974Please respect copyright.PENANAO8VNvX4Ok9
974Please respect copyright.PENANAQeCYwAOMWd
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?"974Please respect copyright.PENANAHojPCurDaH
974Please respect copyright.PENANAXCX8DbNTEq
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.974Please respect copyright.PENANAzVjGZUjrSL
974Please respect copyright.PENANAkOT7naiosS
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.974Please respect copyright.PENANAY3i7B1G62j
974Please respect copyright.PENANA7W6xSl77c5
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.974Please respect copyright.PENANAgpDGZJyIwr
974Please respect copyright.PENANALcxmY1YlKG
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.974Please respect copyright.PENANArpYpt38X5b
974Please respect copyright.PENANA0QzjCVNHRI
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"974Please respect copyright.PENANARgd9uhaBRO
974Please respect copyright.PENANAVKwev4fGpf
"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.974Please respect copyright.PENANAvnkmw5gJML
974Please respect copyright.PENANAEyX7vv8gNQ
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?974Please respect copyright.PENANAk9yoJdht0R
974Please respect copyright.PENANArkAP6plvbM
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.974Please respect copyright.PENANAAlVAOSvcyV
974Please respect copyright.PENANAW99fnjX3gw
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..."974Please respect copyright.PENANAbih9Zf7zps
974Please respect copyright.PENANAqHscjeRKEk
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.974Please respect copyright.PENANAAqqLVrXD9G
974Please respect copyright.PENANAY5MRNCrj9s
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."974Please respect copyright.PENANAIcViVpnICK
974Please respect copyright.PENANA7UAYNsaAMF
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.974Please respect copyright.PENANAdNqzYTjmgR
974Please respect copyright.PENANA6819eOjWyE
"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.974Please respect copyright.PENANAiMYsJ3XM4L
974Please respect copyright.PENANAtm4QvwG4id
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"974Please respect copyright.PENANAN5TVF3RVnG
974Please respect copyright.PENANAMEtoy0xEbt
"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.974Please respect copyright.PENANAvdrI6kiAtC
974Please respect copyright.PENANAClpVmyv5H7
"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.974Please respect copyright.PENANAemJIJqBDnq
974Please respect copyright.PENANApbHDTiejM6
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.974Please respect copyright.PENANAvYejAwcMKO
974Please respect copyright.PENANAVV4lC5Se7e
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."974Please respect copyright.PENANAc3oLbu0TTX
974Please respect copyright.PENANAJd7OpGz3IG
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.974Please respect copyright.PENANAfQYiorgmmx
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.974Please respect copyright.PENANA5rdDjKcjvf
974Please respect copyright.PENANAFqQZMkmmTZ
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.974Please respect copyright.PENANA7vug7yUvwy
974Please respect copyright.PENANAbPg7ESNoAX
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
