This. It was quite clear it wasn't love on Mark's part, when, quite early on in their "relationship," Mark decided to keep a heap of information secret from Christopher.
Information is power, and Mark wanted to keep Christopher powerless.
Mark tried to use Christopher for an obligatory fauxmance, but came to loathe Christopher, when he heard Christopher get cheers.
Very ugly indeed.
