Mark: -lies awake in bed muttering- I'm not gay...I'm not gay...I'm not gay...
Roger: -in sleepy voice from the other side of the wall- you keep telling yourself that baby. Only QUIETLY!
Mark: just 'cause you've gone Maureen on me calling me 'baby' doesn't mean I'll do as you say.
Roger: fine! You keep lying there on your king sized bed this guy bought you, with the pancakes and chocolate cake and hamburgers and apple pie he made for you, with the new job he got you, after having kissed (!) him, and tell yourself you're NOT gay! That totally makes sense!!!!!!!!!!
Mark: ...and then you tell ME to be quiet!
Roger: -puts the pillowcase over his head- good night!
Mark: Good night!
-Two minutes go by-
-Both hear a strange noise from outside-
Roger: -pokes his head out of the pillowcase- huh?... what?...
Mark: -jumps out of bed- Rog, you hear that too, right?
Roger: yes! What the hell?!?! -listens closely-
-They hear a man's voice, sounding eerily like Jake-
Voice: -sings- When I first met you...
Mark: ...no...fricking...WAY...
Roger: the hell? The hell?!!! -tears the window open and leans out to look-
Mark: -peeks outside-
Jake: -stands on a platform just below Mark's window and sings loudly with his eyes closed- From the moment I met you
You were the one
From the moment I met you
My doubts were gone
Roger: OO
Mark: OO
Jake: From the moment I met you
Wanted to drown in your eyes
'Cause from the moment I met you
I knew where my heart lies
Roger: -blink-
Mark: -stares-
Jake: Oh Mark, please return my feelings
Please say you feel so too
I know it's so fast, but I'm only beginning
To realize that I've always been waiting for you!
Roger: -turns to look at Mark-
Jake: -finishes singing with his voice echoing all over the street and looks up at Mark-
Mark: -stares in complete shock-
Roger: -looks at Jake then back at Mark-
Mark: -stares, completely frozen in place-
Jake: -decides to take action once more- MARK, I LOVE YOU! -screams so the whole neighborhood can hear-
Roger: -falls back into his bedroom-
Mark: -turns whiter than usual- Jake- quiet it's 3 AM!
Jake: I won't be quiet - not until you tell me you feel the same way! -announces-
Mark: ...Jake get in here you'll wake everyone up!
Jake: -climbs in through the window and holds onto Mark-
Mark: Jake, it's 3 AM have you lost your mind???
Jake: I've already told you dear, I can't sleep thinking of you so much. -kisses him on the cheek-
Mark: -blushes completely-
Jake: -sentimentally- I love it so much when you blush...
Mark: ...O.o
Jake: are you tired?
Mark: ...well no, not really...you?
Jake: not at all. -big grin- so, what do you want to do?
Mark: I don't know...you have any ideas?
Jake: yes how about... we get into bed... and just enjoy each other's company and share our deep emotions for one another? -dreamily-
Roger: -chokes in the next room-
Mark: ...how about we play cards?
Roger: -snorts loudly-
Jake: okay! -happily-
Mark: -pulls out the cards and sits on the bed- what do you want to play?
Jake: Poker. And instead of playing for money... we'll play for kisses!
Mark: ...oh fine.
Roger: -chokes again-
Jake: really?!
Mark: ...yeah what the heck.
Jake: -grins broadly and deals the cards-
Mark: -picks up the cards-
Jake: -wins first round- that's two kisses for me.
Mark: ...-sighs and kisses him twice-
Jake: -looks completely in love-
Mark: ...-deals-
Jake: -plays looking dreamy-
Mark: -wins-
Jake: how many kisses?
Mark: I dunno...-embarrassed-
Jake: -smiles and gives him three-
Roger: Dear GOD this won't end.
Mark: shut up and go to sleep!
Jake: you're so sweet.
Mark: ...how did you get to that conclusion?
Jake: just tasted you...
Mark: ...
Jake: -smiles and runs his fingers through Mark's hair-
Mark: ...the game! -deals-
Jake: -laughs sweetly and plays along-
Mark: -plays-
Jake: -watches him closely with the most irritating smile on his face-
Mark: ...what?
Jake: you're so cute!
Mark: ...I gotta ask- did you escape from some mental institute or something?
Jake: -laughs- no, why?
Mark: I don't see why you like me so much if you're sane- I haven't exactly been NICE to you...
Jake: why would you say that?
Mark: well...I kicked you out, pushed you away, told you to be quiet when you've been nothing but nice, usually that's a turn off.
Jake: -stares at him as if he's crazy- turn off?! You don't understand how much it delights me!
Mark: ...how does me being a jerk delight you?
Jake: it made me want you even more. –dreamily-
Mark: ...ah so you're a masochist.
Jake: huh?
Mark: what other explanation is there to what you just said?
Jake: that I love you and nothing you do can stop it?
Mark: I've shown you nothing worth loving, just a whole lot of bad sides.
Jake: that's not true, you're sweet and kind and sarcastic and you love my food and you're extremely talented and we're interested in the same stuff...
Mark: ...
Jake: so you've pretended to reject me, why would that turn me off?
Mark: ...-ignores the pretending part- I've been a jerk.
Jake: but a hot one.
Mark: -blushes- I'm not hot, I'm not even warm
Jake: -laughs-
Mark: -blushes and stares at his cards-
Jake: are you saying you're sorry for being a jerk?
Mark: well yeah, of course I am! No one deserves being treated like that. But I was just dumped- not that I'm making excuses or anything, but that does tend to make me...unpleasant. Sorry.
Jake: that's okay. -hums the serenade again-
Mark: yeah about that...could you maybe not sing and yell outside my window at these hours?
Jake: why?
Mark: I have neighbors...plus this place isn't exactly safe during the day so at night...well...
Jake: oh, are you worried about me??? That's so sweet!
Mark: ...so no more noise at these hours?
Jake: well, will you admit your true feelings for me?
Mark: look, honestly? I don't know how I feel about you.
Jake: -listens-
Mark: you're very nice, and fun and I like spending time with you and all...but I don't know.
Jake: that's okay.
Mark: you'll just have to be patient with me...sorry.
Jake: that's okay, I'll stick around and help you decide!
Mark: yeah I figured you'd say that...amm...you win.
Jake: oh?
Mark: the cards –points- what do I owe you?
Jake: as much as you want to give me.
Mark: ...now you're making it hard.
Jake: -smiles pleasantly-
Mark: oh well...-takes a deep breath and gives him one deep kiss- how's that?
Jake: -a little shocked-
Mark: ...sorry?
Jake: can I kiss you back?
Mark: well at this point there's really not much use asking -laughs-
Jake: -looks on cloud nine and kisses him-
Roger: -in the next room- No. Frickin'. WAY.
Mark: ...well. We should get to bed. You can sleep here; I'll take the couch. -a little shook up-
Jake: oh, but it's a king sized bed! We can both sleep in it!
Mark: ...I don't know about that...
Jake: I won't touch you. I promise!
Mark: wouldn't that just be awkward?
Jake: no!
Mark: ...well okay, I guess we can try that...the couch isn't exactly fun...
Jake: exactly!
Mark: Okay. Do you want to borrow some clothes to sleep in?
Jake: I'd be wearing your clothes? -eyes light up-
Mark: if they fit...if not I can give you something of Roger's.
Jake: no I wanna wear yours! -excitedly-
Mark: ...okay...well -opens a drawer- check if anything here fits. I'll wait outside while you change. -gets out and closes the door-
Jake: -wears pajama bottoms and takes off his shirt- you can come in!
Mark: -comes in- ammm –stares- there are shirts...I think...
Jake: I never sleep with a shirt –lightly- so... shall we? -gets into bed- let's get some sleep. And tomorrow, if you want, I'll do some belly dancing for you.
Roger: -gulps-
Mark: ...you belly dance?? I thought Roger made that up...!
Jake: huh? Oh yes, I belly dance –lightly- for three years now.
Mark: is that fun? I only tango...
Jake: I'll teach you, you'll love it! And I love tango.
Mark: yeah...we'll see about that. -Gets into bed- how did you get into belly dancing?
Jake: Joanne had a girlfriend who was a professional and I saw her and caught interest at once.
Mark: cool -smiles and yawns-
Jake: good night! -kisses him lightly- I love you! And you don't have to say it back! I know some day you will.
Mark: ...good night. Sweet dreams. -closes his eyes-
Roger: OH. MY. GOD.
