Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.924Please respect copyright.PENANA5jIi4kB9Uj
924Please respect copyright.PENANAWwIA9NlmAI
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.924Please respect copyright.PENANAWYywmqJzFI
924Please respect copyright.PENANAW6eUrjZWFJ
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.924Please respect copyright.PENANAKK39JzHONx
924Please respect copyright.PENANA4SxqIdTGBL
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.924Please respect copyright.PENANAp5kTwuFmLt
924Please respect copyright.PENANAGFHJR9lQjB
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.924Please respect copyright.PENANARbdIH8LTN6
924Please respect copyright.PENANAcvbg95T7yB
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.924Please respect copyright.PENANAiZKvEYbVWj
924Please respect copyright.PENANA16FfJpkpBK
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.924Please respect copyright.PENANASRmJYeaGp1
924Please respect copyright.PENANAYdzIzOQgse
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"924Please respect copyright.PENANA9sopO4e9Nw
924Please respect copyright.PENANAX1SdPWKO3p
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."924Please respect copyright.PENANAkzcFT6Rewy
924Please respect copyright.PENANAPJnrUEW77r
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."924Please respect copyright.PENANA08fuGirSYg
924Please respect copyright.PENANAsP6XvgJD1C
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.924Please respect copyright.PENANAq10j0yyHG3
924Please respect copyright.PENANAf1zV53fICW
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.924Please respect copyright.PENANA9N0ECQQzVx
924Please respect copyright.PENANAaUf9j719Oc
"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.924Please respect copyright.PENANAJg1mQ2HMjW
924Please respect copyright.PENANAUvZ3A10Y6n
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?"924Please respect copyright.PENANAqHXTODyT1m
924Please respect copyright.PENANASAiR6fldmF
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.924Please respect copyright.PENANAEm6eAoSfGJ
924Please respect copyright.PENANAGpUcIfKZKV
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.924Please respect copyright.PENANAZLuj20sy1C
924Please respect copyright.PENANAPmbszSx42g
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.924Please respect copyright.PENANA70daBy2a47
924Please respect copyright.PENANA7GXNDSSw1U
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.924Please respect copyright.PENANAKIokBNhWX6
924Please respect copyright.PENANAYBrmGQlaVN
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"924Please respect copyright.PENANAJVPzqlsiBt
924Please respect copyright.PENANAhVhs75AfJf
"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.924Please respect copyright.PENANA6jPsmdOWhj
924Please respect copyright.PENANAR1jdWHepMQ
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?924Please respect copyright.PENANA2QbDnQFcY8
924Please respect copyright.PENANAXq3pNaVeRU
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.924Please respect copyright.PENANAhKNwTqF3Vg
924Please respect copyright.PENANAZp62xFds2x
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..."924Please respect copyright.PENANA7qwWV4Fg98
924Please respect copyright.PENANAkhiEjG3cR0
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.924Please respect copyright.PENANAwVmmUZ0fBo
924Please respect copyright.PENANAApdfEp4Rwg
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."924Please respect copyright.PENANAdn7Y5t3Mo8
924Please respect copyright.PENANAmAK3vM3rez
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.924Please respect copyright.PENANA7rjhgm8nIn
924Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ1lOaeBQF
"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.924Please respect copyright.PENANAjo62lMrBTd
924Please respect copyright.PENANAiI3j3dYfEx
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"924Please respect copyright.PENANABLLnhRKbnR
924Please respect copyright.PENANAEWvlgRgRtD
"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.924Please respect copyright.PENANAMYqyEzE2Oa
924Please respect copyright.PENANAUu6pLvjfS1
"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.924Please respect copyright.PENANAcPLdO1e6ZE
924Please respect copyright.PENANAriUbAepQ6K
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.924Please respect copyright.PENANA9nemR1Qn5Y
924Please respect copyright.PENANAlQJObwyota
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."924Please respect copyright.PENANAvbpS09EwO3
924Please respect copyright.PENANAIh3PlMfXIg
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.924Please respect copyright.PENANA5xYhIEO1mc
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.924Please respect copyright.PENANAJUndaX8fi7
924Please respect copyright.PENANAo1G7WMJKnR
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.924Please respect copyright.PENANAZzpFN95WSl
924Please respect copyright.PENANAd11uWrxgbt
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
