Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.1086Please respect copyright.PENANAXu8HaJtX4t
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAJnZxd8WxSn
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.1086Please respect copyright.PENANAH5u4LICDXv
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4gSyBKtpS
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.1086Please respect copyright.PENANAaepCDfamct
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAHpa5vqDY1L
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.1086Please respect copyright.PENANAINHuRLsiDv
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAWZ3CHoIdki
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.1086Please respect copyright.PENANAfyEVGkrG9M
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAspqDOzn1Jc
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.1086Please respect copyright.PENANAOL3sA9yNer
1086Please respect copyright.PENANA2MZBPmqsUN
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.1086Please respect copyright.PENANAcq4i64teKl
1086Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZFZAibGkv
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"1086Please respect copyright.PENANAQVkxdqM1V1
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAq1GFiSXMu4
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."1086Please respect copyright.PENANAh0kljL8PU6
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAB8QNjyuww9
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."1086Please respect copyright.PENANAwqIJsUtqCh
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAe5lJ7sJ0Dn
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.1086Please respect copyright.PENANAKV2Gf36PQW
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAbFeRuIXy9o
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.1086Please respect copyright.PENANAVaUgUZaYqr
1086Please respect copyright.PENANA9MaJHXRP1J
"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.1086Please respect copyright.PENANABEOQmKG0KS
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAwhDagl5ljL
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?"1086Please respect copyright.PENANAGk3KGQLZxM
1086Please respect copyright.PENANATgoVjL5C2q
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.1086Please respect copyright.PENANAfO44c6gdlo
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAbJ6DK6gppY
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.1086Please respect copyright.PENANAUnCTK2xe8V
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAqaf3plHv45
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.1086Please respect copyright.PENANAHmzoNtClis
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAd8L70ttMWo
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.1086Please respect copyright.PENANAdxClvMaAsZ
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAE3Ky1RwNia
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"1086Please respect copyright.PENANA3Tidn1z1qO
1086Please respect copyright.PENANATnviBbICof
"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.1086Please respect copyright.PENANACHPwfat12r
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAnDVqFWuiEZ
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?1086Please respect copyright.PENANAAw6wqLPVkK
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAfhzWr1MgYh
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.1086Please respect copyright.PENANADjo5PblcML
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAUTCzNo7Ro5
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..."1086Please respect copyright.PENANAOGerfYN5Xj
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAlfkg8nPvVg
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.1086Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZuZdRsLCP
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAIXO2KknZhV
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."1086Please respect copyright.PENANAz8xXhgxOWo
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAXgbPIGNg7w
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.1086Please respect copyright.PENANA5RzlYdBbDI
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAtQNQHePpQV
"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.1086Please respect copyright.PENANAIJA1BBgxoH
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAHebKAioT2e
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"1086Please respect copyright.PENANAz2NgiQCuhu
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAzphTaA3O9P
"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.1086Please respect copyright.PENANAxdv4iXmeHE
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAtPOkGIp8hY
"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.1086Please respect copyright.PENANA6JTAsGoEqA
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAqdY297VnG4
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.1086Please respect copyright.PENANABTfufUdCBo
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAyqfBCQ8dAu
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."1086Please respect copyright.PENANA6dkXgaz9aY
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAaNaaU21Flc
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.1086Please respect copyright.PENANA1rFROksUan
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.1086Please respect copyright.PENANA9WZnN2dzQS
1086Please respect copyright.PENANAWrI2c2uxJ9
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.1086Please respect copyright.PENANAO3GCRFfoA8
1086Please respect copyright.PENANApD5KV9MFNs
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
