Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkq1kOejmC
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Ew7RwkKd
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.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18EzsikSBX
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdpL85U9RM
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.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYbUazolqW
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBPryDd4Gq
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MIDYSGCxP
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanhtDxBJGW
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.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelZP2v4YCX
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9ZEqte9yz
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.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWnKb4xGGc
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScIHjr4GUo
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.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OHArgEHtD
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUdGsmViSz
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpALcmgsb7c
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthxsYqt5gp
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."1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPc00JolHL
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFEvk9iSce
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPs3QI01L5
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfyh7kKgCi
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcm4HNN9rP
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2VFT6jjus
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuUtZWXcvv
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtCoLs4q0b
"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.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSB3X2y7Tp
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU0LuMi77P
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?"1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5ENeHKXUj
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSrBQ51ctQ
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.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmvSOuWgPH
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGKE3pUfrJ
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.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiZJzuz2um
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwqTTbxS6R
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1ojDz2PSv
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy65kYGSP5
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SlsBy7vH5
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpVzAaYHtY
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XHo7gYRZm
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnidqtYq4D
"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.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7QhFoWAHO
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEz5TfekKf
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFe04nb7da
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZi8InSiZd
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRWYi0ccHb
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTIDotAy7A
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..."1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2eymQKBg8
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVNux7E59n
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pPKTvWi4V
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKDBTxkhJo
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."1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4PfjDixMz
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv75MzfIAO
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS4WUxPDfl
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Qd0FBA81
"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.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR6S330bdL
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9khs5Y3cpY
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT1rKTt0ne
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGMvLYbclH
"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.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiNstFB5Pe
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl22AnoNOuR
"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.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzzZCjZ5Au
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsYtdKBArZ
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMaOmVjtQg
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm0f16U7lb
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."1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehVpmo4yki
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtVCHn2qg4
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQN9vbbI7n
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEBKx6P7Bf
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37vMBIo35O
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G8aOHPyah
1036Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi6UCflqfQ
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
