Coming Out:
By: LOSTrocker
"Hey Pheebs!"
Mark heard Collins greeting all the way in his bedroom. The film marker cursed to himself. He, Phoebe, Angel, and Collins decided to hang out today and spend some family time together. Mark smiled. Having Angel as a sister-in-law would be an adventure in itself, that he was sure. The only problem was, he was far from ready. He was surprised because normally he was the first one up. Phoebe was just as bad as Maureen. She wasn't a morning person.
"Marky!" Angel cried out. "Are you ready yet?"
"No!" answered the film maker.
Mark went into the closet to fetch some clothes. Collins thought he could use some help, so the teacher went into the writer and film maker's room. "Mark?" Collins asked, not seeing him anywhere.
"Collins!" Mark yelled from inside the closet. "Do you mind? I'm trying to get dressed here."
"Hey, nothing I haven't seen." retorted Collins playfully.
"Well, you haven't seen anything of mine, and I would like to keep it that way." Mark told him.
Collins laughed. "Look, just through something together."
Mark did. Nothing fancy. Just his usual sweater, jeans, shoes, and his infamous black and white scarf. He then came out of the closet, in which Collins burst out laughing.
"What?" demaned Mark. "Do I have my sweater on backwards or something?"
"No," Collins managed to answer between laughs. "You just came out of the closet."
Mark glared at him. "You're so lame Collins."
"C'mon, you were an easy target." Collins went out of the room. Mark followed.
"Baby, whats so funny?" Angel asked the teacher once he and Mark were with them.
"Shut up Collins." warned Mark.
"Pheebs, I hate to tell ya, but your husband just came out of the closet." Collins told the writer.
Phoebe laughed. "Did he now?"
"Yeah, hate to tell you he's gay." Collins continued to tease.
"I had a feeling. I mean all that time with Roger." Angel put in her two cents, and joined in on the fun.
"Yes, Pheebs, I came out... Dressed." Mark admitted.
The group of friends laughed. It was so fun to tease the film maker. Phoebe hugged Mark and brushed his lips against hers. He knew he wasn't gay. Collins just had a bad sense of humor. The teacher didn't think so though. He thought he was funny as hell. The gay jokes never got old, espcially when the film maker was concerned.
Fin.
Author's Notes: This was inspired by something I read on the Gerard Butler boards on somewhere a long time ago. He was joking with the press saying that he came out of the closet, meaning he was gay, when he's not. He just went to fetch a sock. LOL! So, I turned it around a bit and made this a joke for Mark.
