Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.757Please respect copyright.PENANACguuX67iZn
757Please respect copyright.PENANAwMimiOHgPZ
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.757Please respect copyright.PENANAPhfDC7vpik
757Please respect copyright.PENANAzNLiJalBno
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.757Please respect copyright.PENANAcVl1bSVsSj
757Please respect copyright.PENANAMI0GP0RVvk
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.757Please respect copyright.PENANALWQN7QX72l
757Please respect copyright.PENANAgv9AUI3JzZ
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.757Please respect copyright.PENANA4h2Fb3pwlu
757Please respect copyright.PENANA2zKs7MDZz9
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.757Please respect copyright.PENANAqhCjJhwupR
757Please respect copyright.PENANA36aLlreIUz
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.757Please respect copyright.PENANA9YM4TItilA
757Please respect copyright.PENANAsv1hbXtWCl
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAzE0AuJEhuU
757Please respect copyright.PENANA5jxWCnvMGE
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."757Please respect copyright.PENANA8fSAv5rD2j
757Please respect copyright.PENANA1uLKlYWT3h
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."757Please respect copyright.PENANADam0sP7jqt
757Please respect copyright.PENANAr02Wt9GYQU
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.757Please respect copyright.PENANAvMLWHpAsLF
757Please respect copyright.PENANAD1dkHRZ6Pu
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.757Please respect copyright.PENANAkaU8aFoc4d
757Please respect copyright.PENANAIdrenmM3dL
"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.757Please respect copyright.PENANAKul8jpQhXi
757Please respect copyright.PENANAm1CxnmaTgR
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?"757Please respect copyright.PENANAyAwwA17ayW
757Please respect copyright.PENANAh6ugQI7Ytr
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.757Please respect copyright.PENANAEdXGvRwJNT
757Please respect copyright.PENANAHq4jnJWHrh
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.757Please respect copyright.PENANAmawuCwHPCt
757Please respect copyright.PENANACSroRDTTny
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.757Please respect copyright.PENANAvZwuuQhIEl
757Please respect copyright.PENANAcq1uTrkAxL
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.757Please respect copyright.PENANAu9VokYciy9
757Please respect copyright.PENANATAVUpmaRju
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"757Please respect copyright.PENANASpdugK202b
757Please respect copyright.PENANAj06J3buNc5
"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.757Please respect copyright.PENANANGvcnwDjRS
757Please respect copyright.PENANAhLwMQeebSv
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?757Please respect copyright.PENANAXHPABqtCKx
757Please respect copyright.PENANAz6yxeDgM1A
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.757Please respect copyright.PENANAvX8Es1tskE
757Please respect copyright.PENANASrJmfp5ihE
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..."757Please respect copyright.PENANAegDs5bG9fJ
757Please respect copyright.PENANAwzcp7HDS0H
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.757Please respect copyright.PENANA7M1GtOQLpT
757Please respect copyright.PENANAjf9yxtlRXJ
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."757Please respect copyright.PENANAR1eI57m8dU
757Please respect copyright.PENANAig0P9YGswa
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.757Please respect copyright.PENANAVuHhsbUOOg
757Please respect copyright.PENANAoXy1WOW9dn
"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.757Please respect copyright.PENANAq05jSRlAPS
757Please respect copyright.PENANA0F3q5rTthr
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"757Please respect copyright.PENANASLrwcpqNaX
757Please respect copyright.PENANAbh1IvneNDa
"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.757Please respect copyright.PENANAsXHEQvSi8E
757Please respect copyright.PENANAdOtSvdtvhJ
"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.757Please respect copyright.PENANAj4kZigdp6h
757Please respect copyright.PENANA2xRQ0HobHU
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.757Please respect copyright.PENANAkX4v86DAl8
757Please respect copyright.PENANAfKcZJfAeal
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."757Please respect copyright.PENANAL4mbe4lF3i
757Please respect copyright.PENANATvMewEDPO2
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.757Please respect copyright.PENANAUMAGtB6wtU
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.757Please respect copyright.PENANAbF28VxwUnF
757Please respect copyright.PENANAMdwn6d1eyR
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.757Please respect copyright.PENANAZAZ9oT4zvA
757Please respect copyright.PENANAwtnBt9xXmq
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
