Brother Bear
	Mink was always small for his age. If people didn’t keep bringing it up, he probably never would have even thought twice about it. Mink was the youngest in a family of brown foxes, and his older brother Felix was always making fun of him for being so short. He sat down on the cold ground and hugged his black tipped tail. He couldn’t even claim that Felix was this height at his age, for some reason his brother had started out tall and only got taller with age.
	Normally he would just laugh it off and say that he hadn’t had his growth spurt yet. Today however it all got to him. He knew that even if he did hit his growth spurt it wouldn’t change him enough to make any difference. It didn’t help that everyone kept comparing him to Felix. He would never be as good an athlete or as smart as his older brother. It was difficult always being in his shadow and today all of those feelings boiled over and led to him sitting here alone.
	Mink was just starting to hit puberty, his voice was cracking and he was learning what it meant to have true feelings for another living being. Of course Felix had told him what it would be like, how his balls would drop and he would  get turned on by every pair of boobs that walked by. And once again he was nothing like his brother, he thought girls were going to turn him on, but they didn’t. This was just one more thing for everyone to pick on him over.
	This little fox realized very quickly that he was gay, he knew what it meant to be gay, and knew what hardships came with it. Still, he had to talk about it with someone and since Felix had always been there for him when it came to those awkward conversations in the past, there was no one else he would have chosen. Felix didn’t take the information as well as Mink thought he would. The older fox turned into a macho man, telling him that it was a phase and that he would grow out of it. The only person in the world that he had expected to be on his side just wasn’t. And yet again he felt like he was being compared and belittled. It was only a matter of time before Felix told their parents about him, Mink never felt so alone and scared in his life. He didn’t want to go through that, he wished that everyone would just forget about his brother for once and notice him for who he is.
	As soon as he thought it, there was a flash of lightning that struck a tree only a couple hundred yards away. He jolted, startled at the sudden crack of sound, there wasn’t even a cloud in the sky. A branch from the tree fell to the ground and he knew that he needed to get out of there, if a storm was coming, he wanted to be back home and inside. No need to get soaking wet and make the day even worse. 
	Mink ran through the entrance of their home seconds before the rain started pouring down, glad his fur was safe. Water always made him fluff up and it was incredibly difficult to look and act cool when you look like a kit. He was only happy for a couple seconds though, there was no doubt his brother must have told their parents his secret.
	“Mink, we need to talk.” Sure enough his mother rounded the corner like a homing missile. He braced himself for the worst. He couldn’t even bring himself to answer her.
	“Your school called today, they say that you aren’t concentrating in class and your grades are starting to slip.” He tried to hide the confusion, the conversation had gone in a direction he never expected. Sure his grades may have started to drop but if Felix had mentioned anything that would have been the lesser of the issues. Maybe Felix had been nice enough not to tell them.
	“Is that all?” He probed, he hadn’t meant for it to sound the way it did and instantly regretted it.
	“Mink, you have to start taking your classes seriously, you’re smart, you could be doing a lot better.”
	“Yeah, like Felix. I got it.” He had heard the lecture often enough and he really wasn’t in the mood to hear it again.
“Oh? Is that a new friend of yours?” Mink just rolled his eyes and walked away before she could start in on him again. His brother must not have told them yet. If he could convince Felix not to, things might still be okay. Mink hurried down the hall to his brother’s room, the older fox always locked himself in there this time of day. He knocked on the door and it opened at the slightest touch. Behind it, instead of posters of rock bands and trophies his brother won, was a room full of exercise equipment.
He stood there for a good minute trying to rationalize what he was seeing. How could his parents have possibly remodeled the entire room in a single day? He decided that he didn’t want to think about it and set off in search of where Felix had been moved to. After a half hour of fruitless searching, he went back to his bedroom, glad to see it was just the way he had left if that morning.
He lay down on his bed and slid off his clothes. He had learned a few things on his own, the wonder of pawing was one of them. His small hand closed around his growing dick and gave it a couple of gentle strokes.
“Hello?” He stopped pawing briefly when a small noise came from somewhere in the room. The first thought that went through his mind was that he was being spied on. It sounded as though the noise had come from his closet. Mink pulled open the door to try and startle anyone who might have been in there but there was no movement.
“Now I’m imagining things, can this day get any better?” He turned around and started back toward the bed when another cry came out. Searching the closet more thoroughly turned up no results but as he reached the back of the closet he heard the voice again.
“Where am I?” It seemed to be coming from his secret hiding spot inside a nook in the wall. It couldn’t possibly have been coming from there though, the hiding spot was only big enough for one thing. One very personal and embarrassing thing. The item he kept hidden away was supposed to be a gag gift for his last birthday, but he loved it too much to actually get rid of it like he said he would. It was an anatomically correct stuffed teddy bear, it had proven very useful as he learned about sex and his sexuality. It was possible a mouse scurried in and didn’t know how to get back out. Mink found himself blushing as he opened the hidden compartment. Luckily that didn’t seem to be the case, the bear was still the only thing in there.
“Mink? What’s going on?” He felt caught, the voice was his brothers, but when he turned around nobody was there. “Why is it so dark? Where am I?” He looked down and realized that his brother’s voice was coming from the stuffed bear. He blushed harder when he realized that the idea of his brother being the stuffed bear in front of him was actually turning him on.
“Felix? How did you get in there?” The teddy bear gasped as Mink picked it up. He was careful to only grab it by the sides.
“Whoa, how did you do that? When did you get so much bigger than me?” There was a hint of panic in his brother’s voice and Mink felt powerful for the first time.
	“This is going to sound strange, but you’re a stuffed animal.”
	“That’s impossible, stop playing around and tell me what’s going on.” His brother sounded annoyed and disregarded the fact that Mink was carrying him around like he weighed nothing.
	“That’s not all,” Mink bit his lip before continuing. “You’re an anatomically correct stuffed animal.” Mink held up the teddy bear so that it could see itself in a mirror in his room.
	“This is insane, I still don’t believe it. I can’t move…” Felix was getting desperate. Mink squeezed the bears rubber cock to prove to his brother that it was real.
	“Hey! I felt that, hands off!” The tone of his voice sounded threatening and Mink couldn’t help but laugh, knowing that there was no way Felix could stop him.
	“Why? What are you going to do about it?” He gave the toy a few strokes knowing there really wasn’t anything his brother could do. He could hear the toy panting slightly and knew that his brother must have been enjoying it. He couldn’t explain why he decided the next part was a good idea, he just went ahead and did it anyway.
	The toys dick was only an accessary and could be taken off and used alone. He’d used it so many times over the past year that unsnapping the hook holding it on had become second nature. The dick popped off in his hands and he sat the bear down on the table.
	“Shit, what did you do that for? I can’t feel it anymore.” His brother whined.
	“I’ll be holding on to this separately until you apologize.” Mink looked down at the thing and realized that he might be able to use it to make his brother jealous, if he could no longer feel it then there was no reason not to use it. He turned his brother bear towards the bed and squeezed some lube onto the rubber phallus. He placed it at the tip of his hole and was about to work is as he had so many times in the past when his brother yelled out, “No wait! I was lying, I can still feel everything.”
	Mink knew he should have stopped, but he was already too horny and the dick was far too inviting. He’d used it so many times in the past, there really wasn’t anything different about using it again now right? Before he knew it, he was pounding himself and masturbating at the same time. He could hear faint panting from the desk and the thought of his dominance over his brother only turned him on more. The feelings were too much for the young fox, he came almost immediately. 
	His brother was panting but still unmoving on the dresser. The young fox cleaned off the dildo, causing the toy to groan and sigh with every touch. After he was done he put the dick back in the hiding spot and returned to his brother on the dresser, he hadn’t given much thought to how they were going to get him out of this situation.
	“You aren’t going to reattach my dick?” Felix asked with a hint of sadness.
	“Technically it’s not yours, you are just borrowing it so you can feel your own. That means I own your dick for the time being.” He couldn’t keep himself from grinning. He knew that his brother couldn’t stay like this, but at the moment he was tired and his brother was the perfect cuddle toy to fall asleep with. Felix protested at first, but settled down when he realized that complaining wasn’t going to change Mink’s mind. The two of them drifted off to sleep, at least Mink did, Felix found that he didn’t really need to sleep and spent the night being squeezed in his brother’s arms.
	“Goodnight Mink.” He said quietly long after his brother had fallen asleep.
