Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.956Please respect copyright.PENANAVELyhIXjKN
956Please respect copyright.PENANAXz8Ldzwaws
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.956Please respect copyright.PENANAQIBrkGgR8Z
956Please respect copyright.PENANA4SkajnvJKZ
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.956Please respect copyright.PENANApvzKSwudP0
956Please respect copyright.PENANAocefQDQCE6
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.956Please respect copyright.PENANAYWCRBm5qKU
956Please respect copyright.PENANAALmejjtRP4
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.956Please respect copyright.PENANAE0om7gbpJs
956Please respect copyright.PENANAw8693BUsBX
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.956Please respect copyright.PENANAbWmCBBPh8g
956Please respect copyright.PENANAfoVdcS5K2k
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.956Please respect copyright.PENANAMoXavUPB7i
956Please respect copyright.PENANAf3I8UAnfMT
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"956Please respect copyright.PENANA2TQIUWLuHv
956Please respect copyright.PENANAcWds6GopfE
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."956Please respect copyright.PENANAglIUldb2ep
956Please respect copyright.PENANATN61DkCe0p
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."956Please respect copyright.PENANABJ82HQJCnI
956Please respect copyright.PENANAkHepAfN9pv
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.956Please respect copyright.PENANANmLArWLfRz
956Please respect copyright.PENANAw9fHx07kMO
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.956Please respect copyright.PENANAdXTdt0CwHv
956Please respect copyright.PENANATXAldpotA7
"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.956Please respect copyright.PENANAttITvmpb2l
956Please respect copyright.PENANAyKjERQNAdG
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?"956Please respect copyright.PENANAbcSP6KBD3v
956Please respect copyright.PENANANTDgXHZda2
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.956Please respect copyright.PENANAKUeBd8sMHH
956Please respect copyright.PENANA5o0FBl7S2V
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.956Please respect copyright.PENANAo5i48b9ZI9
956Please respect copyright.PENANAN2YPSdKsei
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.956Please respect copyright.PENANAt9eRvbIiLT
956Please respect copyright.PENANAc4RuePYdx6
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.956Please respect copyright.PENANApO7f4vZUnO
956Please respect copyright.PENANAHSgnHhTMmX
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"956Please respect copyright.PENANAHdeamQ7udE
956Please respect copyright.PENANA9NZVQcne2G
"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.956Please respect copyright.PENANAxGRcolVfNr
956Please respect copyright.PENANAa3n9jC4ESk
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?956Please respect copyright.PENANAFTU4V1qoUb
956Please respect copyright.PENANArblHPvMqTm
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.956Please respect copyright.PENANAy43naC56fW
956Please respect copyright.PENANAvOtlKd3kfK
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..."956Please respect copyright.PENANAj3rGKcuAID
956Please respect copyright.PENANAVVVmBgYFh4
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.956Please respect copyright.PENANAED3AVn7mqM
956Please respect copyright.PENANAgO7PnwywIw
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."956Please respect copyright.PENANACJZ6nPhVpV
956Please respect copyright.PENANAk46OvMhm9j
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.956Please respect copyright.PENANAIjVj2n4LL2
956Please respect copyright.PENANATYmBcdK35r
"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.956Please respect copyright.PENANAeWBbB1gw8o
956Please respect copyright.PENANA5cdYYX2wkp
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"956Please respect copyright.PENANAjQurz1DKko
956Please respect copyright.PENANAgB4cUbU5dq
"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.956Please respect copyright.PENANAtn7sVyTKGt
956Please respect copyright.PENANAszhnpl9uE8
"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.956Please respect copyright.PENANAmHrqNQxpH5
956Please respect copyright.PENANAybGZantpoD
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.956Please respect copyright.PENANAHbNeCNNTy0
956Please respect copyright.PENANAL5sf3rfE1y
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."956Please respect copyright.PENANAp3y0gXxwf1
956Please respect copyright.PENANAhQI0m1MOVo
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.956Please respect copyright.PENANA7iFaXiajBz
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.956Please respect copyright.PENANAgORBIW5UUR
956Please respect copyright.PENANA5k0wmeh5WY
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.956Please respect copyright.PENANAIavn85cFUE
956Please respect copyright.PENANAfL0bq0d9vF
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
