Bridgertons x sister!reader - you’re not a burden.
Summary: the reader is the Bridgertons sister and is a year older then Eloise (so 19) and she gets really sick and starts coughing up blood but she doesn’t want to tell anybody because she doesn’t want to be a bother and a pain but then one day she faints in front of Anthony and Colin and then the whole family has a talk.
——————————
I groaned as my stomach started to churn again. I was sitting in my room and was sick.
I had been coughing a lot and throwing up.
I felt another tickle in my throat and sighed. I started coughing trying to keep it quiet. I laid my face into my pillow and coughed in it.
When I was done I sat up but noticed a red stain on my pillow. I put my fingers to my lips and pulled away. There was blood. I was coughing up blood.
My eyes went wide as I quickly cleaned everything up. But I’m doing so I started coughing up more blood. I got so tired. I feel into my bed and everything went black.
_____
I was now with Anthony and Colin in the lounge room. I have kept my sickness from everyone so far. It has been a week since I coughed up the blood and it hasn’t stopped.
I was sitting in between my two older brothers and had my arms folded over my stomach.
I felt that familiar tickle in my throat and felt my lungs lurch. I didn’t want to cough, not in front of my brothers.
I tried to suppress it. I tried everything but it wouldn’t go away. Finally I couldn’t take it anymore. I started coughing violently and I leaned forward and spat the blood into my hands. I was crying now and Anthony and Colin were worried sick. Colin pulled out his handkerchief and wiped the blood from my hands and lips and held it under my chin as I coughed up more.
Anthony was rubbing my back. I got tried again. Very tired. I kept coughing but I started to lean back. Like I had no control over my body. I felt my body go numb and it was dark again. I could hear yelling and could feel someone shaking me but I wasn’t awake. I couldn’t interact.
———
I opened my eyes slightly and winced as my stomach was sore along with my throat.
“She’s awake.” I heard someone say. It sounded like Benedict.
I looked around and saw my whole family sitting around me. I tried to sit up on my own but failed miserably. Anthony came to my aid in a flash and helped me get comfortable while sitting up.
“Why didn’t you tell us you were sick y/n?” My mother asked.
I shrugged and could feel tears well in my eyes. I looked at my hands and replied, “I did not want to be a bother.”
“Y/n you will never be a bother. Your health is important and we want to make sure you stay healthy.” Anthony said from my right side. His hand was grasping mine and he gave me a small smile.
“We love you y/n, I was so scared when you started coughing up blood I didn’t know what to do.” Colin stated from my left side. He was sitting on the edge of my bed with his hand resting on my leg.
“We can’t loose you y/n, you are the glue to this family. You support us and make sure we don’t rip each other apart.” Benedict said. He was sitting on my right beside Anthony. He had his hand on my leg as well.
By this time tears were falling from my eyes. Colin was quick to wipe them away with his thumb.
“Y/n you are very important to all of us and we hate when things like this happen to you.” Daphne said. She was also on my right side. She was beside my head and she was running her fingers through my hair.
“Y/n you are so beautiful and kind and caring and I don’t know what I would do if you were not around.” Eloise said. She was sitting on my left beside Colin.
I sucked in a breath and let more tears out of my eyes.
“Y/n you will never burden us if you are sick. I’ve been sick many times and you have always been there to take care of me.” Gregory said from his spot at the foot of my bed.
“I look up to you y/n, you are my role model and I want you to know that you will never ever burden us with anything.” Hyacinth said. She was sitting next to Gregory.
“Y/n what we are all getting at is, you are an amazing young woman and we all love and care for you. We want you to tell us if you are sick so we can help you.” Francesca said.
“Thank you. I love you all.” I said through my tears.
“We love you too y/n” scattered across the room.
Soon Colin climbed into my bed next to me and wrapped his arms around me and brought me into his chest.
Anthony sat on my other side with his head on my shoulder and arms around my torso. Benedict was next, sitting at my legs, rubbing his hand up and down.
Then Gregory climbed on the bed and sat in a small area between me and Colin. He had his arms around my left one.
Then Daphne climbed into bed beside Anthony and she wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head on his back. Hyacinth laid in front of Colin with her head on my lap. Eloise sat next to Benedict and she had her arms wrapped around him. Francesca was the last and she laid at my feet. Her head resting in Gregory’s.
I felt so loved in that moment.
I felt Anthony kiss my cheek and I smiled.
Then we all fell asleep like that.
______
For the next couple days that I was sick everyone would visit me and take care of me.
It usually went, Anthony and Daphne.
Then Benedict and Eloise.
Then after that was Colin and Hyacinth.
Then last was Gregory and Francesca.
They had a schedule for who would watch me at what time.
Usually at night Anthony and Colin would stay in my room with me. They would lay with me or cuddle with me until I fell asleep.
Most of the time when my siblings were in my room, they would sit on my bed with me and get me anything I needed.
With all of their help I was back and healthy in three more days.

I think some part of Akutagawa highly regards Dazai BECAUSE of the reason that he not only gave akutagawa a reason to live but also saved his little sister, Gin from the life in the slums.
It's clear Gin and him wouldn't have survived properly in the coming years had Dazai not taken them in.
Yes, the atmosphere of the Port Mafia is much worse but still they got something there that they didn't even have in the slums, A roof above their head and basic necessities such as food and food loving conditions!
I think he respects Dazai for many reasons and his major one was supposedly this, him saving His precious little sister.
I love these siblings sm man!
Uk Akutagawa is a short tempered ruthless man but he's the best older brother. Like c'mon!

"I wish I would've met you, in another life"
This won second place in the "Love" category. I really like the simplicity of this piece. I never actually drew Shidore along with Reina and Kurt before this so I was quite excited to draw them.
I wanted my love entry to be Komugi and Meruem, but I already used Meruem in another entry. I suddenly had the idea to use sibling love as a prompt. Maybe the reason people mistook my "Memory" entry as my "Love" entry was because they viewed it as Alluka and Killua's relationship.
This is the last of the three part contest entries. Might link the entries below later.
Memory | Love (you're here!) | Delusion

The happiest day of my life was when Toby began showing an interest in cars. When he was five, all he cared about was dinosaurs. Then it was outer space. Toby didn’t like cars until he was ten-years-old, at which point I had basically given up hope. But now my little brother asks questions about cars as we drive to school. Every day without fail. And he’s learning to identify cars on sight. This morning, he pointed out a battered old Chevy in front of us.
“1980s Ford F350,” Toby guessed.
I imitated the buzzer sound that means wrong.
“Right decade, wrong company,” I corrected. “Chevy 3500.”
“But it had the Ford logo on the tailgate.”
“Not the original tailgate,” I said. “They’re both painted in the same color, but you can tell the tailgate is less faded than the rest.”
“Why would you put a Ford tailgate on a Chevy?”
“Sometimes you replace a part with the first thing you can find, even if it doesn’t match the rest. Especially on a car that’s twenty-years-old. Besides, it’s basically the same part. Only difference is the logo. There’s a few die-hards who worship at Henry Ford’s feet, but most people don’t really mind using the wrong logo when they need a part. And you can’t use a truck bed without a tailgate.”
“So how did you know it’s a Ford?”
“Are you kidding? Check out the corners on the top of the cab.”
Toby leaned forward to scrutinize the cab in question.
“But I got the decade right?”
“Yes. Yes, you did.”
“That’s good?” he asked.
“That’s very good.”
Although Toby knows everyone in Tarwater, he doesn’t know all their cars. He only started learning the difference between manufacturers about two years ago. Now, he can guess the decade a car was made with reasonable accuracy. Sometimes, I take him all the way to the Interstate. When he gets a little older, we’ll have to fully leave town to play this game because he’ll already recognize all the cars in town. But not quite yet. He still needs practice identifying cars based on their shape. He relies too much on logos.
I drive a silver 1991 Honda Civic. Not the world’s fanciest car, but I would have loved a bathtub with wheels if it could get me and Toby out of the house. And I would have loved it because it’s mine. Even a teenager’s first car, slow and old and basic, is still a car.
Toby pointed at another truck. “Early ‘90s Nissan?”
“Attaboy, Tobester!”

What Strange Creatures Brothers Are!
Yesss!! @thethreebroomsticksfic's #WEASLEYWEEK is here!! My first fic of the week is an ode to Molly and those annoying brothers that she loves so dearly.
Snippet:
'Besides, we heard that a certain someone was going to Hogsmeade with a certain Weasley,’ he sang.
Bollocks, Molly thought, her ears turning hot as she looked back down at her essay. 'I don't know what you're talking about,’ she muttered.
'Oh really? Because we heard from quite a reliable source.'
‘Who?’ Molly exclaimed, earning some annoyed looks from the table next to them.
Gideon grinned, 'The man himself.'
