Sickly.....
I have no siblings, and was a particularly coddled wee fellow as my older brother was stillborn. Unsurprisingly, then, I have little in the way of sibling stories.

I have however, became rather close to my cousin. I've got a good extended family, a fair few cousins mostly all around my age, and although we all have our little faults, they're all great and mostly hilarious too.

Over the last year though, I've became thick as thieves with one cousin. We've both been through the meat grinder and cheer each other up, as well as provide the odd shoulder now and then. We'll often spy each other in the pub and end up sitting together, gabbing and gossiping. I hadn't seen her for months though, until saturday. We gabbed away for a while, then she got talking to some guy she knew, and I got the impression he was bothering her a little later. Weighing up the situation, I decided to have a quiet word with the guy and despite me being about as scary looking as a tuna sandwich, off he duly fucked.

I had been right, he was being a bit freaky, so I walked her home to make sure she was ok, all the while we gabbed and gossiped, then she just turned round and said "I've missed you, you know. You're my best cousin." Made me feel all warm and fuzzy that did. Never had a little Sis, but my cuz comes close.

Pointless story I know, but it's all I've got.
