Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwDIgc7ydb
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vc56IsJCu
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.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa53m9Gjpp
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jOjwHfCjs
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.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjPQnF9EZF
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEp8csijO6
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvpArlFPr2
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnczaJxpRy
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.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U1I0B2xa8
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL5GzprSqv
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.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCHnmau4KN
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcUiuU6uvd
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.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9ls7pJD5y
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIakZbhZjWt
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CUqQmgFm6
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklxVqkoSrj
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."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkwwV0KEim
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw564M9ZOtB
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcT7jSKEyg
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJfzxEU2Ci
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX6Uz6TqTy
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5qO1b8CW5
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn88YFC2Nz
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOEOOKUKit
"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.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYD1HBBiUz
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBBamd7gos
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?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYgb0oa43l
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wUrE9HOgI
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.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUSI4QWkzi
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKeYbF1Uwr
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.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfjz4IDpOa
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnAOTAojG0
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKWEdQT76X
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFAg9u8n6k
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3hhXhVsFw
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpXLVJPQPc
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tRRoGZ7zd
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr8H8jjJZd
"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.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd5iIXF9x2
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQZMVHA0Sj
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMnSkk1Xip
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimdnKNALqX
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKtXUdfm0O
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oj813obHN
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..."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJPntpLq4j
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq8P2Fy5rU
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZfnSLYK5f
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JCI8Hm5BR
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."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DAWnEWUgj
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zH1vbx9Wt
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntjdnySWTb
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmJ4Do94yC
"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.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9vyJixXi9
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eLFOgmPXa
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwkK1hgbkj
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDj6GBXhzo
"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.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXrf05cFYb
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOevyIbMv1d
"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.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7GXwEI9e8
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPTwAY8gCs
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMkuYRhr3S
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pdwla8ngg
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."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ613KMpflnL
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wbtkikga1
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iM3ZFm3G5
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAddNK0Tob
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb5umaYKtI
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJMgzVBQdK
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM6vWRokIa
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
