Lee and Mark had just finished loading their bags into the Explorer when
John and Sharon drove in the drive.

Waving at his parents, Mark called out "hey you guys ready for your trip
tomorrow?  Uncle Lee and I are just about finished."

"Not yet young man but you can help us with the bags when we are finished"
his mother says.

"Ok Mom, let me know when you are ready."

Walking over to Lee, Sharon says "he sure is excited isn't he? You would
think he has never been on a trip before and you guys are only going to
Louisville, not the moon."

"Well Sharon, he hasn't been on a trip with me since he was a little guy
and we all went to the Outer Banks that summer, remember?"

"Yes, that is right. I think he was 7 or 8 then. We did have fun didn't we?
I didn't think Mark was ever going to let you get out of his sight while we
were there. That boy never seems to get enough of you, I don't know how you
handle it."

At about that time John walks up and asks "what you guys so deep in
conversation about, the trip?"

Before Lee could reply, Sharon said "no, we were just remembering the trip
we all took when Mark was about 7 or 8 and we rented that cottage for the
summer at the Outer Banks."

"Oh yeah, that was a fun summer and as I remember the only one where you
were able to spend it with all of us Lee."

"Yep, not since I am afraid. That was the summer before the company sent me
up to Alaska to help set up the computer research for the oil fields that
had been discovered and when I got off that assignment, off to Saudi
Arabia. Talk about a bummer.  Missed a lot of time with you guys."

Suddenly they all hear "Mother, please.  I need your help deciding what to
take with me to Aunt Gale's. Can you come up here?" Loretta sounded in
complete distress.

"Sharon shook her head and said "you would think for a young lady of 19,
about to enter college, she could pick out her own clothes."

"Oh I don't know honey. She seems to have done pretty well. You know, like
mother like daughter as the saying goes."

For his efforts, John got a very dirty look but Sharon just smiled as she
left to see if she could help Loretta.
______________________________________________________________________________

Earlier in the day, John and his wife had lunch together in City Park.
There was a small hotdog cart that sold the best dogs and they sometimes
went there together just to be alone.  With two kids and jobs, they didn't
get away that often together.  The park was quiet and they would pickup a
couple of dogs with drinks and sit on one of the benches and they could
talk.  Today Sharon had called John on his cell phone and asked him to pick
her up for lunch in the park if he could get away from the job.  John told
her he could and would make it about 1PM.

After the call from Sharon and her request, John wondered what she
wanted. Sharon usually had something on her mind when she called him like
that.  They had planned the trip but it had been her idea to get away for a
few days and had surprised him with the idea.

"Oh well" John thought, "she will tell me what is on her mind when she is
ready."  John knew his wife well after 23 years of marriage.

Leaving instructions with his job foreman, John left to pickup Sharon at
her office.  Seeing her sitting on the bench at the bus stop, he pulled up
in front of her and asked "hey lady you need a ride somewhere nice and
quiet where we can be alone?"

"John, you are full of it but I love it."

Parking in the lot at the park, John and Sharon walked hand in hand looking
for the hotdog cart. Sharon was quiet so he didn't say anything, waiting
for her.  Finding the cart where it usually was, they ordered and as they
were waiting, the operator said "I haven't seen you guys around for awhile,
how you been doing?"

"Pretty good Charlie, just awfully busy."

"Yeah, I see where you bought the old Rolfe house John, gonna fix it up?"

"Yeah, we are dividing it into a couple of apartments for rental. If you
know anyone looking, should be ready before school starts. Give you a
finders fee of $50.00."

"Fork it over. My sister is gonna be teaching at the school and she is
looking for a place close by so she can walk. That would be perfect."

"Well Charlie, they are not really ready just now but if you want to ask
her to call me after next Wednesday and I can show what we are doing and
give her an idea of what they are going to be like. That okay?"

Sharon said "Charlie, tell her to call my office. You never really know if
you are going to get John or not but I am always available."

"Okay Sharon, will do. Dogs on the house today."

"Thanks Charlie."

Finding a bench, John and Sharon sit and after a few minutes John asks
"what's on your mind kiddo? You don't usually ask me out to lunch unless
there is something bothering you."

John waits for his wife to answer.

"John, how do you feel about Lee and Mark taking the trip to Louisville
together?"

"What do you mean, how do I feel hon?" John had an idea where this was
going but left it for Sharon to start.

"I don't know how to say this John but here goes. We know that Lee is gay
and we have never had a problem with it.  He never does anything to bring
it home with him.  You know I love him very much.  John, do you think Mark
is gay?"

"Damn Sharon you are talking about Lee and then you ask me about Mark.
What in God's name makes you think Mark is gay? If he is, would we treat
him any differently then we have treated Lee?"

"I don't know John. Mark just seems to always want to be with Lee and he is
almost 17 years old. You know what a boy goes through at that age.  He
always hangs out with Carl and no girls seem to be in his life and when Lee
called that he was coming home. . . . .he was beside himself waiting."

Turning on the bench, John looks at Sharon. "Honey I have had the same
thoughts but was afraid to mention it to you.  Okay, lets say Mark is gay,
he is still our son and nothing can change that. He will always be our Mark
and we will love him no less.  We, he and I, have discussed the things that
a boy goes through growing up and he knows about procreation and all that
goes with it.  Homosexuality is not something that a father discusses with
his son as a rule. Father's don't think of their son's as being queer."

"John, I hate that word, Mark is not queer."

"I know that but that is the term generally applied, unfortunately.  When
Lee was growing up he was much like Mark is now. Oh, not built like he is
but the same mannerisms. He would always hang around me. Doug knew Lee was
gay before I did and he would have nothing to do with him.  Lee tried to
talk with Doug about it and was rebuffed.  Dad was unapproachable on the
subject, none of his sons could be gay."

Taking a very deep breath John continues " I heard Lee crying one night in
his bedroom when I was coming in off of a date. Doug had moved in with me
and Lee was alone in the room they had been sharing. I later realized why
Doug had moved.  Well, I went in and he, Lee, was curled up in the middle
of his bed crying and shaking.  I sat on the bed and pulled him up in my
arms and held him as he cried until he stopped. I asked him why he was
crying and he told me the whole story. He told me about how Doug had been
treating him, how he was afraid to try and talk with Dad and he was even
afraid of me.  Sharon, he overwhelmed me with all of that and I was damned
if I knew what to do to help him out.  Lee knew something was different but
he did not know what to do about it.  I tried to soothe him and told him we
would talk about it later. When I got ready to go to my bedroom, he held my
arm and asked me if I would sleep with him that night.  I slept with him
and held him in my arms most of the night and no nothing happened.  Doug
had a fit when he found out and threatened to tell Dad about his two faggot
sons sleeping together.  The outcome of that is that we don't get along
very well even today.  Sharon, I have always loved Lee more then Doug. Even
before his problems of being gay, he was always closer then Doug."

"You never told me any of this John. I always wondered why Doug did not
come around much and he never does when Lee is here. I just never thought
about it that way.  Why did you tell me Lee was gay before we got married?"

"I didn't want you to find that out from someone else. Lee is a very
discreet person but there always seems to be someone that knows. As for
telling you about all of that, there just never seemed to be any reason.
Lee is Lee and he would never do anything to embarrass us. I know Lee Will
never hurt Mark or Loretta, he loves them too much.  He may love Mark a
little more but that is almost natural. I guess in some ways Mark is the
son he will never have."

"But aren't you worried about Mark and what might happen?"

"Not in the least.  If Mark is gay and I think he is, he could have no
better teacher about homosexuality then Lee. I would trust him completely
with Mark and would rather he teach him then some old faggot off of the
street. Mark is an emotional boy as we well know and from what I know about
it, the wrong guy can really screw up a young fella. Lee would never hurt
Mark and you know it."

"Okay, then. But who taught Lee about being gay. You aren't gay, so who
did?"

" A lesbian friend of mine whom you know."

"WHAT, a lesbian and I know her. Who, how?"

"Sharon, do you remember Carol Carter who died in the plane crash out west
about 5 years ago?  Her and her girl friend.  I knew Carol was a lesbian
when I was in college and we became great friends.  She was working with
you at the bank when we started dating, remember her now?"

"Yes but I never realized she was a lesbian or had a girl friend. What did
she have to do with Lee? Lesbians can't teach a boy about being gay and
what they do."

"No, she couldn't but she could introduce him to someone who could and she
did. Carol knew many people in the gay society that not everyone knows
exists in this city.  Lee was only 15 at the time but he was big, well
built and looked a little older then his 15 would indicate. Carol
introduced him to a guy in Mt. Orb who owned a farm. His name is William
and he is a hell of a nice guy and only 7yrs older then Lee at that
time. Carol told me he was a little reluctant at the time but after she
explained it all to him, he invited Lee for the weekend. They became fast
friends and Lee has not turned out all that bad has he? He is not a
screaming faggot and for that I am eternally grateful to William."

"What is Lee going to teach Mark? Do you mean they are going to. . . . .
well you know, are they?"

"I have no idea Sharon.  Lee and I have never discussed his private life
and I have a good idea that Mark will not either. You may ask him if you
want but I think we both will wait for him to tell us.  He will at some
point, he has too. Don't worry about them hon, it will all be okay. What
ever happens, those two love each other and I mean really love each
other. You can see it every time they are together.  Lee is having a hard
time with it, I can see that. After all Mark is his nephew and not some kid
off of the street. Mark is searching for himself and we have always known
his feelings for Lee. If Mark is gay, there is no one that I would trust
him with outside of Lee."

"I guess you are right John, I am just worried for both of them. Mark the
most though, I am his mother."

Lunch finished they walk back to the truck and work....................
_______________________________________________________________________________

Reaching Loretta's door, Sharon gives a quick rap and stepping inside asks
"what can I help you with honey?"

"Mother I just wanted to talk with you before you guys leave and I'm
gone. This all came up pretty quick and you all sort of surprised me. I
love the idea of going to Aunt Gale's though. Gives me a chance to talk
with Christine about college since she has been an exchange student in
Australia and all.  She is my favorite cousin.  Will Uncle Lee be gone when
I get back from Denver?  I have not hardly had a chance to see him except
the other day when we went out together, he is real cool isn't he?  He and
Mark have been together almost all of the time he has been here and I
didn't get much chance to see him."

You have seen your uncle in the evenings at dinner and when we have gone
out.  I know he has spent more time with Mark or maybe it is Mark who has
spent more time with him. Anyway honey, that is the male thing.  Mark is
his only nephew and they sort of bond together like father and son not just
uncle and nephew.  Now if it was just you, I am sure he would have felt the
same about you.  He loves you Loretta and you know he does."

"I know mother. Maybe if Uncle Lee wasn't gay he could have had kids."


"Loretta, when did you learn that about your uncle? Who told you that?"

"Oh mother, I have known that for a long time. It doesn't make any
difference to me though. He is may favorite. I just wish we could have
spent more time together. But I guess you are right about him and Mark,
they do look almost like a father and son don't they?"

"Yes they do honey, yes they do."  Sharon was thinking about the talk she
and John had earlier.

"Well since we are going out for dinner better get ready. How about you,
going with us?"

"Yes, mother. Uncle Lee asked me earlier morning before I left for work."

"See, he does think about you honey."
_______________________________________________________________________________

Lee took them all out for dinner to the Brookwood Pottery Restaurant in the
Hyde Park section of the city.  Out of curiosity, he was wondering if Troy
would be working and what he might think.  When they pulled up in front of
the restaurant, John asked "Lee, didn't you and Loretta have lunch here
yesterday?"

"We did but dinner is always nice here and we didn't really have that good
of a lunch yesterday did we Loretta?"

"No daddy, we really didn't."

"Okay, I was just wondering."

Just about then, the waiter from yesterday walks up and asks how many in
their party.  Suddenly he smiles and says "Oh yes, Mr. Michaels, you and
your niece were here yesterday.  Nice to have you back, right this way
please."

Mark leans forward and says "he knows your name Uncle Lee."

"Of course Mark, Loretta and I were here for lunch and he was our waiter."

"I'll bet he was Uncle Lee and I can see why Loretta likes coming here."

"It is a good restaurant Mark and your sister is 19 years old."

Dinner was great and when the bill was presented Lee found a card inside
the folder that contained the message "still would like to meet you, can
you call later. Troy" Lee smiles as he leaves the cash with a proper tip
and taking the card deposits it in the waste basket as they leave the
Brookwood.

Mark noticed and asked "what was that Uncle Lee?"

"I will tell you all about that later. How about you drive us home Mark?"

Mark did a good job of driving home. He was a very careful driver and Lee
had wanted to see how he handled a car as he did not want to do all of the
driving when they left in the morning.  He could do some of the interstate
driving and that would be a big help.

Mark and he had loaded most of what they were taking in the back of the
Explorer so they were pretty close to being ready. John told Mark to ask
his mother what was left to load before they turned in for the night and
turning to Lee said "how about a beer before we turn in lil brother?"

"Sounds good to me older brother." Lee wrapped his arms around John and
hugged him tight. "A beer would be nice about now with my big brother."

Mark saw his dad and uncle hugging and he got a big lump in his throat.
Sometimes he wished he had a brother as he watched them walk out on the
deck together.

Lee and John talked about their trips and his plans for when he reaches his
new assignment. Lee felt that there was something else on John's mind but
he would talk about it when he was ready.  John asked him about the piece
of equipment he was picking up next week.

"John, I have no idea what it is yet. It is a new programming piece of
equipment that is supposed to work me out of a job if it is true. I might
have to come back and ask you for a job."

"Anytime bro, there is always a place for you here. Is Carl going with you
when you leave? Mark mentioned something about he thought he would be going
with you."

Lee made a mental note to talk with his nephew about revealing things that
were private before he answered "Mark said he had asked him about riding
with me and saving the cost of bus fare. I don't see no reason not to take
him with me. He should be a big help with the driving that is a long trip
alone. Of course Carl has not asked me yet. It is just what Mark has said."

"He is usually right and I am sure Carl with ask when you guys get back
from Louisville. You will like him, Carl is a nice kid. How about we hit
the sack, got lots to do in the morning, Sharon will want to fix
breakfast."

"Good idea John, I think everyone else has already gone to bed."  Turning
as he stands up Lee looks at his brother and says "John, thanks for being
my brother, I love you."

As he walks into the house, John says "I know Lee, I know."  Lee watches
for a moment and then follows inside. . . .

Lee slips into his and Marks bedroom and looking he does not see him in his
bed. Glancing at his, he is not there either. Closing the door, he feels
two steel muscled arms reaching around his waist "Uncle Lee you really do
love him don't you? I was watching you and Dad and I could tell how much
you love each other.

Leaning his head back against Mark he whispers "yes Mark, I really
do. Maybe more then I love you if that is possible. There are things
between your dad and I that only he and I know of. Maybe in the next few
days you will understand what love is between two men, I hope so."

Holding his uncle tight Mark lays his head alongside of his and softly
whispers "I think I do already Uncle Lee. If loving you is the way two men
are supposed to feel about each other." Mark gently presses his groin
against his uncle's buttocks and nibbles at his ear lobe.

Feeling Mark pressing against him, Lee twists in his arms to face
him. "Mark that is not love, that is sex.  There is a difference and that
is what you have not yet learned" as he presses his now stiffened cock
against his nephews.

"You can find sex almost anywhere but love is something that has to be
nurtured and allowed to grow inside of you. You can suck and be sucked by
many men and it only satisfies an immediate need."  Looking at Mark, he
sees that he is in deep thought and he feels a slight softening of his and
Mark's cocks.

Moving over to his bed Lee strips his clothes and Mark drops the shorts he
had been wearing.  Sliding into bed they melt into each others arms. Mark
lays his head on his uncle's chest and feels the steady rhythm of his
beating heart and his steady breathing. They both are enjoying the feel of
each other without the driving erotic passions they had generated
before. Lee smiles in the dark thinking "he is slowly learning."

"Uncle Lee when will I know if I really love someone and they love me? I
don't mean like the way I love mom, dad and Loretta. I mean the way I love
you and you love me. When will I know that, how can I tell??

"Mark you are already learning. Right now lets just get some sleep. It has
been a long day and we have things to do tomorrow. You can sleep here or
move to your own bed." Mark answers that by snuggling and holding him
closer with a muffled "here".

Friday morning came earlier then usual.  Lee woke with a roaring piss hard
his bladder about to burst.  Mark had an arm across his chest with his head
laying on his shoulder and a leg over his with his knee gently pressing
against his ball sac.  Any other time he would have just lain there and
enjoyed the feel of his young hard body pressing against his. This morning
he needed to piss bad so he slowly slid from under his nephew hearing only
a minimum of protests.  Holding his half hard cock Lee walks quickly into
the bathroom and releases a torrent of scalding piss into the commode and
throwing his head back allows a great sigh to escape from his mouth.

Suddenly the door opens wider and Mark is holding his cock heading for the
same commode as his uncle.  "Sorry Uncle Lee, I gotta go bad. You should
have woke me up I damn near pissed the bed" as another heavy stream of piss
hit the already boiling water in the commode. "Whew, that almost feels as
good as getting your rocks off doesn't it?"

Lee milks his still half hard cock and as he turns Mark presses his body
against his and presses their lips together in a searching probing kiss.
"Good Morning Uncle Lee enjoy the wake up call?"

"Mark you are a vixen and I love you. Now get a shower before your dad
starts knocking the door down."

"Want to take one with me?"

"Not this morning kiddo. We got things to do, how about later in
Louisville?"

"That's a deal Uncle Lee and don't forget it" Mark turns the water on and
steps in the shower.

"Let the water run for me when you are finished Mark" as he turns for a
quick shave. He envies Mark not yet needing to shave.

Showered and dressed Lee collects the shaving kit and they go into the
kitchen. John and Sharon are already in he kitchen and the smell of fresh
coffee is overwhelming.  Mark kisses his mother with a cheery "Good morning
everybody is Loretta still in bed? I'll go check on her."

Lee fixes himself a cup of coffee sits down at the table and asks "did you
guys have a good night? I think we slept like logs, at least I did."

"We slept pretty good Lee. You guys all set for your trip? I think we have
everything we are going to need.  We are going to stop on the way for
breakfast instead of making a mess here.  That okay with you guys?"

"Okay with me and I guess Mark. He eats like a horse though so bet he is
hungry. I want to stop at the Silver Diner outside of Covington on old US
25, they have a hell of a breakfast there."

Mark and Loretta come into the room and it seems everyone is ready to head
out.  Sharon looks at her two almost grown children and hugs them both
tightly. "Mark you mind your uncle and no backtalk. Loretta you do the same
with your Aunt Gale,okay? Lee you know how to get us in case anything
happens."

Both Mark and Loretta assure their mother that they will follow her
instructions as they give her and their father hugs.

"I have the phone numbers in my wallet. You guys get on your way and don't
worry, everything will be fine. We have to get Loretta to the air terminal
ahead of time so they can get her checked in for the flight. Take it easy
and we will see you next week."

John and Sharon head down the drive with Lee right behind them.  They have
about a 45 min. drive to the terminal even using the interstate.  Loretta
sits in the front seat and Lee was a little surprised Mark didn't say
something to her. They both were growing up it seemed.  On the way the kids
discussed what they wanted to do while they were gone.  John had given each
of them $200 for their expenses. Lee was happy to see brother and sister
getting along together.

Reaching the air terminal they pull up to the entrance and Mark unloads his
sisters luggage.  Lee drives on around to a parking space and rejoins his
niece and nephew. Mark carries two of Loretta's bags and Lee the other.
Lee couldn't help but notice the rippling muscles in Mark's arms as he
carries the bags.  Loretta get herself checked in and cleared.  Walking to
the concourse where her gate was they stop at the last checkpoint where
they must part. Lee tells his niece to have a good time and he would see
her on his next trip in around Christmas. Mark gives his sister a big hug
and a kiss on the cheek.  Loretta walks through the metal detectors and on
the other side she waves and blows them a kiss.  Lee and Mark watch her
walking down the concourse until she turns one last time to wave and then
walking down a set of stairs she is gone from view.

They both stand there for a minute and then Mark says "well Uncle Lee just
you and I left to get on the way."

"Yeah sport and on the way I want to stop for something to eat. I am
starved, how about you?"

"Right now I could eat anything you put in my mouth" as Mark glances at his
uncle with a twinkle in his eye.

Lee looks at his sexy nephew and just shakes his head as they head for the
parking lot and their own trip..................
