Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.948Please respect copyright.PENANAFPNt6LuRP9
948Please respect copyright.PENANAKndoWKAg8L
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.948Please respect copyright.PENANA5Frb9EylqF
948Please respect copyright.PENANA0N8LvqlWA6
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.948Please respect copyright.PENANApyczj8kQBJ
948Please respect copyright.PENANARRymvcLYe7
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.948Please respect copyright.PENANA3bhGf0IQOP
948Please respect copyright.PENANAStNL77fHmG
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.948Please respect copyright.PENANAeGMDcCO39n
948Please respect copyright.PENANAaaIHLUGpjk
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.948Please respect copyright.PENANAL1Cxms2EbK
948Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9r3vPjGee
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.948Please respect copyright.PENANAqrpRvQZPIg
948Please respect copyright.PENANAokImM7BU3w
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"948Please respect copyright.PENANAnKPlxeRZT8
948Please respect copyright.PENANAzfyJBejnwB
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."948Please respect copyright.PENANA3Qw15OoujK
948Please respect copyright.PENANAbL3V3EcMaX
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."948Please respect copyright.PENANAy4TVrbyKXY
948Please respect copyright.PENANA9lERttDdi0
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.948Please respect copyright.PENANAYwR3TxYF8c
948Please respect copyright.PENANAfroLf8Mk6z
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.948Please respect copyright.PENANAWWh3HShq0X
948Please respect copyright.PENANAcI3VMh2ul7
"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.948Please respect copyright.PENANAeOjS1AE7RJ
948Please respect copyright.PENANAI6Yh5rCqs4
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?"948Please respect copyright.PENANANiZEjrpL62
948Please respect copyright.PENANAHxVuXLCsMS
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.948Please respect copyright.PENANArCvDzv9DXW
948Please respect copyright.PENANAPYdAoYA1ZY
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.948Please respect copyright.PENANAZLTUhKIFEF
948Please respect copyright.PENANAeBOzz1q7QP
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.948Please respect copyright.PENANAm3YSSolY5h
948Please respect copyright.PENANA6djg3omoVX
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.948Please respect copyright.PENANAK6PnIONXYB
948Please respect copyright.PENANAcly6lJ6BJ1
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"948Please respect copyright.PENANAPzuqtZ8YMq
948Please respect copyright.PENANA4QPDdFhZtE
"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.948Please respect copyright.PENANAn5XnNDHpXn
948Please respect copyright.PENANA8wnwGA1SIG
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?948Please respect copyright.PENANAwijJy6AzHS
948Please respect copyright.PENANAaCJLSkCuWz
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.948Please respect copyright.PENANA7zpIPTzkYM
948Please respect copyright.PENANAq6qa3La6bI
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..."948Please respect copyright.PENANA5DFTmFYL65
948Please respect copyright.PENANAAtYv2zZBXi
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.948Please respect copyright.PENANABN6ExmFV56
948Please respect copyright.PENANALbranJ4vOO
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."948Please respect copyright.PENANAloFDGaWilT
948Please respect copyright.PENANAq6vUAXm3r5
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.948Please respect copyright.PENANACiV8c26fdY
948Please respect copyright.PENANAI8gknmiEGD
"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.948Please respect copyright.PENANAofYmLKDpxv
948Please respect copyright.PENANA2VxlzCVKSu
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"948Please respect copyright.PENANAKYGT2ljETC
948Please respect copyright.PENANAQG5PEK2HLr
"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.948Please respect copyright.PENANA9V2c3bHQfw
948Please respect copyright.PENANAqOqANChJ6G
"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.948Please respect copyright.PENANAFSmyU1p7AC
948Please respect copyright.PENANAL7uItu718k
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.948Please respect copyright.PENANA4KpRKdshGP
948Please respect copyright.PENANACTA77dZYX9
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."948Please respect copyright.PENANAI1INnemYOW
948Please respect copyright.PENANAj3KHMYYGow
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.948Please respect copyright.PENANABsqvs3Jsyu
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.948Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q1Ls8B7Uv
948Please respect copyright.PENANAfOLqjuefT2
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.948Please respect copyright.PENANAhldP0QcGp4
948Please respect copyright.PENANAoylsDFGUC4
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
