Disclaimer: I just own the idea
Collins was eating lunch at the life café when his friends came in.
"Hey Collins join us," Angel called.
"Um… I'll catch up to you guys later"
"No," Angel said, "you've been avoiding us all week and I want to know why"
"I'm not avoiding you guys"
"Yes," Angel said, "you are and if you don't tell us why I'm going to have to slap some sense into you"
Normally Colin's would have laughed or made some sarcastic comment but this time he just sighed.
"It wouldn't be fair to you guys if I continued to be your friend. I…I…I found out last week that somehow my body fought the AIDS and I've been free of it since 3 weeks ago"
"Wait a minute," Angel said putting his/her hands on his/her hips, "you mean to say you have been avoiding us because you're better?"
"Tomas Byron Collins, for someone so smart you're really dumb," Angel said annoyed whacking him upside the head.
"Hey," Collins exclaimed, "what was that for"
"Collins, why in the world would you think it's unfair for you to be our friend"
"Because I'm well and you're sick. It would be like rubbing it in"
"Wait just one damn minute," Roger said, "you were sick before we got sick… was it rubbing it in when you were sick for us to be your friends because you were sick and we were healthy?"
"Well no…"
"And Mark is healthy while I'm still sick… is he rubbing it in by being my friend?"
"Um…no?"
"Um… exactly you doofus"
"No name calling," Collins teased, "or your have to stay late"
"Baby," Angel said, "I really missed you"
At that Collins broke down.
"I missed you too my angel," he said wrapping him/her in a hug. He then looked at his friends and added, "I missed you all"
They shared a group hug
