Pierrot and Harlequin

(You are a harlequin. Is this the thorn of Pierrot and Harlequin? Perhaps~)

"Cirque du Freak" is the name of a circus that's clearly not for children. It travels to various places and cities, where people disappear after their arrival (who knows why?). People are given tickets of different colors to access the troupe's performances. Pink tickets are given to everyone indiscriminately, and ordinary people have no idea that others exist, but alas, the fact is that such a ticket will lead to your imminent demise. However, if you're lucky enough to receive a ticket personally from one of the circus members, a different color (green, red, purple), then congratulations, you've been granted the honor of leaving the tents alive. The Jester, you could say, is the founder of this place.

And so, one day, the harlequin pestered and goaded Pierrot in every way possible, giving him no peace. True, the fair-haired man usually tried to tolerate such behavior from the jester, but this time, apparently, he did not. At first, their squabbles did not go beyond insults, but soon everything escalated into attempts to kill each other on the spot. But, apparently because the two were yelling at the whole circus, the jester did not ignore it. Entering the tent where Pierrot and the harlequin were located, the jester was, to put it mildly, surprised. Harlequin was lying on the floor, and Pierrot was on top of him, not letting him get up. The jester was tugging at the fair-haired man's hair, and with his other hand he was trying to hold Pierrot's hand (but, apparently, not very successfully). Pierrot, meanwhile, held Harlequin by the collar, not letting him get up. His gaze was irritated and sullen. The scene was amusing, yet the jester realized the two were about to kill each other. They were soon stopped, of course, but Pierrot still glanced irritably at the Harlequin from time to time. The jester scolded them, clearly not pleased with their actions. The blond man listened to the leader with his head bowed, ashamed of his emotional behavior, but the Harlequin, for his part, didn't even listen to the jester.
