My family has decided to take a trip to NYC. Some of my family live here and we have no seen any of them in at least 5 years. I'm in college now so this is one of the last chances of taking a family vacation again. One of the family members my parents are dreading seeing is my gay uncle Todd. We all call him Tank, since that was his nickname growing up and he was built like one. My uncle was a big deal back in his day. He lettered in football, wrestling, track and field, baseball, and even weightlifting. He got a full ride to college and just before his senior year he came out about being gay and he found himself unfairly shunned by all the people who thought highly of him. Even my grandparents were ashamed of him. My mom does not talk about Tank being gay and tries to keep most conversations about him brief. I play sports now for my college and Tank has always been my hero. Of course my mom is horrified that I call him my hero.

As we finally arrive over NYC, I can clearly see the great skyline as it is highlighted by the setting sun. Some of the lights are already twinkling on some of the buildings and I'm just in awe of the sight. We live in Florida, so there is not a skyline as classic or impressive as this. Our plane finally gets closer to La Guardia and then seems to dive bomb the airstrip below. My heart nearly jumps out of my chest. I was definitely not expecting such a landing. After a few minutes of taxiing and docking to the terminal, we are officially in NYC. We get off the plane and are greeted by some family members. There is uncle Tank, aunt Tracy, her husband Jerry with the twins, uncle Phil with his fiancee, and my cousins Sherry and Terry with my aunt Mary, and last but not least my grandma's brother uncle Manny. We all hug and do the ooh and ah thing. It's so embarrassing. I kinda stand aside while my mom and sisters gets all gooey. Tank stands next to me and whispers, "Your mom is always this way when we get together. I know it embarrassed me too." I smile back at him and give him a big hug. We all pile on down to the luggage claim and stand there chit chatting as we wait for the belt to start. All of the sudden the alarm sounds and the belt roars to life. We get out luggage and decide who we are going to ride with. I of course say I want to ride with Tank. My mom tries not to look to horrified and tells Tank to drive carefully. We are all going to go eat at a restaurant before we go to stay with aunt Tracy, uncle Jerry and the twins for the trip. I'm definitely not looking forward to being stuck with the twins of terror. Chance and Colin are 5 and even though they were cute when I saw them as babies they are now causing all sorts of trouble here at the airport.

We finally get all the bags put away in uncle Jerry's beamer and I go ahead and follow Tank to his Explorer. It's a new Ford Explorer he just got, with tinted windows, black paint job and a rainbow bear paw on the back bumper. I smile to myself when I spot the sticker on his SUV. We both get in and buckle up to go. We chit chat about me playing football and wrestling in college, how I'm doing in school, and how I'm enjoying college life as we drive along. It's kinda nice to be able to talk to someone in my family who is into sports as much as I am. My dad is a book worm just like my mom. My little sisters and brother, all 3 take after them. I'm the only one who is like my uncle Tank. I finally lead the conversation over to Tank being in college and him coming out. "It was definitely something I needed to do for myself. I know the consequences of my actions were harsh, but those were hard times to be out. Especially if you were an athletic star like I was. My team mates and coaches did everything they could to make sure I was off the team or just benched for the rest of my senior year. At least I was smart enough to use the full ride to get myself a great education." Tank tells me with a sigh. I look over as Tank and then mutter out, "Tank, I'm gay."

"What!?"

"I'm gay, uncle Tank." I say with less hesitation.

"I know you idolize me, but this is going to far and your mother will kill me if she thinks your the way you are cause of me. I mean she already hates the fact you turned out to be a jock like me and that you look up to me. Oh shit, this can't be happening." Tank says while shaking his head in disbelief.

"It's true Tank. I never would have chosen to be gay, but I see guys like you and me. You know big stocky bearish guys and I can't help but feel attracted." I tell him.

"Whoa wait a sec... bearish? How the hell do you know about bears?" he asks puzzled and still in shock.

"Well I have found out about all this from the internet. Tank I have always looked up to you and you are...well...my model of the perfect guy. I'm built like you, all stocky and big, and into sports and well that is what I have found I'm attracted to."

"God, I think I'm going to pass out. Do your parents know about this?"

"No they don't. I thought it best to talk to you first. I'm afraid and I know you would be the only person who could understand what I'm feeling."

"I understand what your going through, but are you sure your not trying to convince yourself your gay cause we are so much alike?"

"No Tank, I have tried to be with girls but it just never felt right." I start to tremble with nerves. "I wanted so desperately to be straight so I would not have to go through what you did, but the feeling would just not go away."

"Well your my nephew and I'll help you in anyway you want." he says with a sigh. "I'll even be there to help you when you break the news to your parents. Fuck, your mom is going to kill me."

"Thanks Tank, I really appreciate this." I reach over and place my hand on his shoulder. Tank looks over at me and smiles. He then rustles my hair and just laughs. "My own nephew, the other jock of the family is now really family. I still can't believe this." he says, still trying to convince himself it's not a nightmare. We spend the rest of the drive talking about me and my feelings and about being gay. It was nice to be talking to someone in person about this great weight that was on my chest. I have talked about this before in chatrooms but it just didn't feel the same.

We finally arrive at the restaurant. It's a small italian place but from what I was told the food is heavenly. Me and Tank get out of his SUV laughing and cracking each other up. My mom glares at us disapprovingly. My uncle smiles at her with the look of knowing something she didn't and I swear I could see my mom shudder in horror. We all sit down at a big table and eat and laugh all through dinner. Me and Tank had the mama's special pasta. It was a huge plate of pasta with the sauce and meat of your choosing and what was special about it was the fact it was a mama sized portion for every good growing italian boy. Well at least that is what it said on the menu. I ate a good 3 quarters of the pasta and felt like I usually do after thanksgiving but Tank actually finished all of his and packed away lots of garlic breadsticks too. As we left I asked my mom if it was ok for me to stay with uncle Tank. I didn't want to stay with aunt Tracy cause all 6 of us staying there will be rather cramped. That and I think I'm old enough to tour around the city with out my parents. My mom was not to thrilled about it but she knew I wanted to explore the city on my own. I promised to be there when we meet other family members at night. She finally caved in and let me stay with him.

We get to Tanks apartment in the village and I was amazed at how big his studio apartment actually was. He told me how much he paid a month and my jaw dropped. "That is why it's best to get a good education at college. I used my degree in computer science to be an engineer for a software company." Tank rattles off like a service announcement. His apartment was decorated like a cross between bachelor pad, high-tech spy hideout and low key gay flare. He even had a neon rainbow bear sign on his wall. "So what do you want to do?" Tank asks me. With so many things to do I didn't know where to start. "How about you take me to a gay club or bar or something. I have never been to one." I tell him.

"I would have guessed you had been to at least one by now. For that matter I know this is personal but have you ever been with a guy?" He asks seriously.

"Um well no. I have never gotten the chance or even the nerve to try to meet a guy yet." I say nervously.

"No need to worry, uncle Tank has your back. Think of me as your mom screening girls except I'll be screening the guys." He tells me.

"Ok sure thing."

We both head off to the NY Eagle for my first venture into a gay club. Tank bought us a couple beers and we sat together talking about the cute guys there. I was amazed to see that Tank had the same tastes as me. Tanks friends would periodically stop by to talk to us and Tank would introduce me to them. They were quite amazed to find out that he was my uncle and he was taking me out to my first gay bar. I was still very nervous and Tank kept urging me to relax. After about my 3rd beer I was finally getting relaxed and then walked up another friend of Tank's. He was about my age, early 20's, with a stocky athletic build and a mesh university football jersey. He was a gorgeous blond bear with a scruffy chin and a pierced ear. Tank hugs him tight and then introduces Keith to me. We both start talking and I find out he is going to college here in NYC. I ask Keith to join us and offer to get him a beer as well. We all three start talking and I tell him that I think he is really cute. He pays me the same compliment and then kisses me. The kiss seems to last forever as our tongues play with each other. I then tell Keith that I'm rather new to this and he was actually the first guy I had ever kissed. Keith just smiles and tells me that he got into this himself about a year ago. That was when he met Tank and they have been good friends. Tank gives me a wink and then got up behind Keith. He gave Keith another big hug from behind and whispered to him to be careful, that I was his nephew. Keith reached up and kissed Tank on the cheek and told him he would be gentle. I spend the rest of the night getting to know Keith a lot better between kissing and groping. My uncle was nice enough to give us space and talk to his other friends. "Keith, I know this is sudden but can you come home with me? Your my uncle's friend and you seem to be a great guy. I would love to spend the night with you."

Keith whispers into my ear, "I would love to be with you. I'm just warning you that this is your first time and well I have slept with your Tank also. I'm guessing that can be a bit weird."

"I'm sure." I whisper back. Keith just smiles at me and then gives me a big kiss. I get up and walk over to Tank. I ask him if it was ok to take Keith home with us. He looked at me in disbelief and says, "Your mom is definitely going to kill me." I smile back at him trying to cut the tension, but I know it wasn't working. All three of us get into Tank's SUV and head back to his place. Me and Keith sit in the back kissing and groping each other. I know Tank was nervous about this, but I felt all the years of repressed feeling bubbling to the top and about to explode. We get to Tank's apartment and me and Keith head upstairs to the makeshift loft/bedroom. Tank slips out into his underwear and plops in front of the tv.

Once we get into the bedroom we both start kissing and stripping each other naked. I start kissing Keith along his neck and then begin nibbling on his ear. Keith lets out a low moan and urges me to go on. I keep kissing and licking my way down to his chest. The hair tickles my nose and lips and I make a trail to his nipple. As i nibble and suck on it, his nipple gets more erect. I can feel Keith's hands pinch and massage my chest and I lick and play with his. I move to the other nipple and then down his furry belly. I place my hands over his hips and help his underwear off. His stiffening cock pops back up from the underwear and hits my chin and my mouth sucks and licks on Keith's belly. My hands over Keith's round furry butt down to his thick thighs. I then grasp his hard cock and tug on it a bit. The pearl of precum starts getting bigger with each tug. I lick the tip and taste the sweet drop from the slit. Keith's moans out loud as his hands roam through my hair. I then take his cock into my mouth and start slowly sucking on it like I had been doing this all my life. The feeling of him in my mouth was so natural. I wanted more. I whirled my tongue over the head and along the shaft and each time Keith would groan in ecstasy. Then I moved to licking and sucking on his hairy balls and inner thigh. Keith had to brace himself on my shoulders a couple times to keep from falling over. I hugged Keith's legs making sure he didn't escape. I kneeled there enjoying myself but before Keith could cum he stopped me and guided me towards the bed. As I lay on my back Keith slipped my underwear off and then began sucking on my throbbing cock. His warm wet mouth felt so good on my cock. I laid there enjoying his mouth work my cock, then my balls, then my inner thighs and then he started to move behind my balls. The feeling was electric but then he lifted up my legs and started to rim me. I never imagined it could feel like this. His scruffy face was buried into my ass as his tongue poked and tickled my hole. I was moaning and groaning loudly with pleasure. After Keith was done eating out my ass he joined me up on the bed. I turned to one side and we cuddled into a 69. I hugged his hips as I worked his stiff rod. Keith's hands ran along my stocky body as his mouth hungrily sucked on my raging hard on. I then decided to lick a finger and play with Keith's ass. I slid one in and Keith moaned past my cock, causing my balls to vibrate from the low muffled sound. I worked Keith's ass, but I wanted to give his ass the same feeling he gave me when he rimmed me. I moved up slightly and then buried my face into Keith's furry ass. Keith let go of my cock and then began to moan loudly as I licked his hole and then slipped my tongue in. Keith help me close to his as his body squirmed from the feeling of me rimming his ass. I then kissed one of Keith's butt cheeks and returned to fingering him. I soon slipped another finger in and found his prostate. I massaged it causing Keith's cock to throb against my chest. Keith then begged me to fuck him. I grabbed a condom, Tank had laying on his nightstand, and the lube. Keith took the condom from me and proceeded to slip it on my cock. It was nice feeling his thick hands slip the condom on me. He then squirted some lube and began to jerk off my cock getting it nice and slick. Then Keith got onto his back and worked some lube into his waiting hole. I crawled between Keith's legs and inserted a finger into his ass to make sure where the hole was. I placed my cock where my finger had been and readied myself to enter. Keith reached down and guided me as I pushed my way in. His hole was tight as I tried to get the head in, but then as he eased me in, my whole cock slid all the way in. Keith groaned and adjusted to me being inside him. Then I started to slowly fuck him. I grabbed his legs and held them up as I began to fuck him faster. Keith groaned and begged me to keep fucking him more. I continued to go faster, slamming my cock all the way in. Keith reached up and braced himself with the headboard as I continued to plow his furry ass. Keith could not get enough. I kept up the pace watching his chubby furry body bounce as I laid into him. I took one hand and placed it on Keith's hard cock. I started jacking him off as I fucked him. Soon Keith was driven over the edge and began cumming wildly. His ass tightened and his throws of ecstasy drove me over the edge too. I slammed my cock in one last time as I began to cum deep inside of Keith. I growled like a wild animal and began to shake as my balls emptied inside of Keith. After I was done I collapsed on top of him. My softening cock slipped out of his ass and we both lay there panting. We then started kissing and cuddling a little as we caught our breath. I peaked towards the stairs and I noticed Tank's head peeking in on us. I saw him get this huge grin and he must have noticed me looking, cause he winked at me.

After a shower, me and Keith joined Tank downstairs for some late night coffee and chat. I asked if Keith could stay the night. Tank said it was ok and Keith was more than happy to stay. Tank then told us where the linen closet was and to get new sheets since we got cum all over the bed. I ended up sleeping, cuddled up with Keith on one side and Tank on the other side of the bed. When I was not with my family I spent the rest of the time with Keith and Tank. They took me to all sorts of gay clubs, stores, and meet all of their friends. I decided to confront my parents about being gay at Tank's apartment. I told them that I stayed with Tank so we could talk about being gay and everything. My parents were not thrilled but they hugged me and told me they loved me no matter what. My mom actually hugged my uncle and asked him to give me any guidance he could, cause she knows how hard it was when Tank and my grandpa stopped talking for 2 years. I got my parents permission and was able to transfer to school in NY. Tank let me stay with him and even bought a roll-away bed downstairs for me to use. Tank has become like my big brother and is always helping me and being up front with me. Keith and I hit it off and have decided on having an open relationship of all things. He says that I will more than likely feel the need to play around and be wild since I have just come out. He was right but Keith is the one I always come back to. Now I'm in a new city, with a great uncle, a great new bf, and a great new life to explore. All is good.
