Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAIFFAzQKrZ8
1033Please respect copyright.PENANANTzrqnb1NL
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.PENANA8bed51hdSD
1033Please respect copyright.PENANA2V8fmzDUyD
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.PENANAitwOOh46Ay
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAU70QyYIe2v
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.1033Please respect copyright.PENANADaDtv9Vlm1
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAcwoEMCV2iG
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.PENANAhcMKXjduq9
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAO7nH7bFTG5
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.PENANAgPRVU7kdrU
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAdODt6tVIEx
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.PENANA6IZ1sb6d6q
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAsHghCJAFMC
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"1033Please respect copyright.PENANAmbhF1M7plR
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAtV6c5twU4C
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.PENANABbfJVtSGZt
1033Please respect copyright.PENANA4vODNhgRZC
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."1033Please respect copyright.PENANABV0oMEn5Io
1033Please respect copyright.PENANALJSrAF3A6M
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAQp6vVao6Qu
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAnq3pRNVes1
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAU5KdrrTOhb
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAUyoJKXVN2N
"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.PENANAY65atXMVCn
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAIZtndOZVhs
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.PENANApZ0uBpjqg2
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAtvBRw1NNHO
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.PENANAR1guOAIF60
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAm2JyVYm2Hy
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.PENANAvJF8pj2pnm
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAaYIhJuJY89
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.1033Please respect copyright.PENANABl8QHz2UPm
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAgpPRtgXY06
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAIuH9BUHOjL
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAemqUnmHadI
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"1033Please respect copyright.PENANAOF1rITZLNB
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAmnVSbiV0mh
"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.PENANAG0bXXogNhW
1033Please respect copyright.PENANA0h3U7cmfV0
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.PENANADLbQg8SjuM
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ4f7DYsHn
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.1033Please respect copyright.PENANA4yit3dfovB
1033Please respect copyright.PENANA5r3CazkF7H
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.PENANAy3bD91MeZc
1033Please respect copyright.PENANA8D645ZYfs2
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAsHLrLJfSPD
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAZfT4rVqL1Y
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.PENANAVjkcWqTaG5
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAZmKcEDQvhC
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.1033Please respect copyright.PENANA3W2WLBCFoL
1033Please respect copyright.PENANABQThgEVKac
"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.PENANAPF0yGMH61f
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAChpnuyyR3s
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.PENANAsTZGbhquIy
1033Please respect copyright.PENANALdKM1W9OWn
"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.PENANAbT5La64cug
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAb1ftya6ydt
"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.PENANAW8pnrqBhwq
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAhhLsYACTZv
"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.PENANAg6oLLRxsvb
1033Please respect copyright.PENANATFvRrA71VW
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.PENANAaPiCp6Avnv
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAGG6iJ6vYJo
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAcQRUr6Fr2b
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.1033Please respect copyright.PENANAaHryAXAWoD
1033Please respect copyright.PENANANt32zS0Sm3
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.PENANA9K1DnOM3hf
1033Please respect copyright.PENANAEZ0GIjTN98
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
