Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.936Please respect copyright.PENANAPjctp3H9ik
936Please respect copyright.PENANAyxKHrhEDdP
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.936Please respect copyright.PENANACmMNwa1QRi
936Please respect copyright.PENANATGcyRzYprU
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.936Please respect copyright.PENANAKvqSnI9auY
936Please respect copyright.PENANACyJaQ8n9FR
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.936Please respect copyright.PENANAIfX9LHmt2T
936Please respect copyright.PENANAsdF4G8A2n0
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.936Please respect copyright.PENANAreFLzRuXbn
936Please respect copyright.PENANAZX2agCWc0W
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.936Please respect copyright.PENANAO5ocviebfz
936Please respect copyright.PENANAw3a820lFUM
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.936Please respect copyright.PENANAgQLpKAQ3Xq
936Please respect copyright.PENANAHe0OFXsYVB
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAl7Mfuzso6U
936Please respect copyright.PENANA0KSLmdj1ii
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."936Please respect copyright.PENANA82a87SD8qO
936Please respect copyright.PENANA783xWlZFBe
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."936Please respect copyright.PENANAa6QhwpM6Gj
936Please respect copyright.PENANArjlkKNPsrg
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.936Please respect copyright.PENANA97QBegFOMZ
936Please respect copyright.PENANAWvonUKF55a
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.936Please respect copyright.PENANASCv4IyeOMW
936Please respect copyright.PENANAtciZZ2TSxc
"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.936Please respect copyright.PENANAit6s85C8G1
936Please respect copyright.PENANAY4IhseXMjO
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?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAKObpRdXKri
936Please respect copyright.PENANA0Yej7mhs3q
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.936Please respect copyright.PENANAoCmVeKF92c
936Please respect copyright.PENANAWXZMlD0Oi8
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.936Please respect copyright.PENANAflt3KACaBF
936Please respect copyright.PENANAKeO2FFXhIA
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.936Please respect copyright.PENANArzE9UtoMLW
936Please respect copyright.PENANALV0oLvFstf
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.936Please respect copyright.PENANAssM1nc7F0V
936Please respect copyright.PENANAF8DVwwQXTR
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"936Please respect copyright.PENANA4qyzUng6S4
936Please respect copyright.PENANADMB7yZAU4V
"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.936Please respect copyright.PENANA50DynvhO04
936Please respect copyright.PENANAkZDYw0kBHO
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?936Please respect copyright.PENANABqPrslKA4z
936Please respect copyright.PENANAtG11PszzZ6
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.936Please respect copyright.PENANAXrZDSqk20k
936Please respect copyright.PENANASqmpJ9fB9F
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..."936Please respect copyright.PENANAl4QyGyrnf2
936Please respect copyright.PENANA7SidXNi3ce
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.936Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y3P5h0BQO
936Please respect copyright.PENANAeeCdhRTEOW
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."936Please respect copyright.PENANA65dQ2TjvGz
936Please respect copyright.PENANAataK7WC1PV
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.936Please respect copyright.PENANAyhJGSfMmGb
936Please respect copyright.PENANAfUWJjOORnT
"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.936Please respect copyright.PENANAVZowTl6u8z
936Please respect copyright.PENANAQG7FqYvFLx
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"936Please respect copyright.PENANAGqeQqyiFSI
936Please respect copyright.PENANAmWZ3vlQ388
"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.936Please respect copyright.PENANAZuTzkLi6t0
936Please respect copyright.PENANAcVJsCaIKCy
"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.936Please respect copyright.PENANAeJU5TGfKE8
936Please respect copyright.PENANAaukyJ3XUk7
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.936Please respect copyright.PENANAn6eBMK3fD6
936Please respect copyright.PENANAOjCHKZQ7TM
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."936Please respect copyright.PENANAGs9cWHzUF3
936Please respect copyright.PENANAp6o5e3Ov3y
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.936Please respect copyright.PENANAAOwVOkApsN
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.936Please respect copyright.PENANA8PDz7wHBFY
936Please respect copyright.PENANAO8K2yUI4Pr
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.936Please respect copyright.PENANA6O2TaFTeSt
936Please respect copyright.PENANAg9ZDzYkXZc
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
