"Yes, this is the sad end of my fate.

I am still unable to reach you."

"Keigo-sama, what shall we do with this? Your personal driver retrieved it from one of the limousines back in Japan."

Atobe Keigo can be seen lounging in the balcony of one of their properties in western Scotland. He raised his sunglasses to look at the familiar piece of clothing in the servant's hands. He smirked upon recognizing it. He held out his hand and felt the soft texture of the red scarf settle across his palm. He dismissed all his attendants wanting to be alone for a while.

It had been months since he last saw his scarf. He had completely forgotten all about it until now. It was a wonder how it managed to show itself to him after so many months.

"It seems that fate is still playing with ore-sama, hmm?" he ran his fingers through his hair as he contemplated on what to do.

After the confrontation between them, Atobe never conversed with Tezuka alone. They were always surrounded with their teammates. And even then, he did not directly acknowledge the brunette. He did not know if he should be thankful or not that he had not played against the stoic captain. He was always paired up with their first year tennis prodigy or even a doubles match against the Golden Pair. The only time they had an interaction was when the captains of the respective teams would shake hands before and after a match. During that time, he was able to look straight at Tezuka with his unwavering gaze.

Shaking his head to dismiss the memories, Atobe carefully folded the scarf and gently held on to it. He decided to keep the piece of clothing. It was enough for him. It may constitute as a reminder of a very painful yet beautiful memory but he had no regrets.

"Yes, I am the pierrot you desire.

Just command me as you wish."

Author's Note:

Pierrot means "one of the comic servants, or zanni, functioned in the comedia as an unsuccessful lover and a victim of the pranks of his fellow comedians."(source: Encyclopedia Britannica). In the story, pierrot connotes "unsuccessful lover".

I wasn't planning on writing lemons but it just happened.

On a side note, I apologize to those waiting for an update on my other fanfic but don't worry I will be updating that very soon. Hopefully.. err..yeah.
