It was a regular day. You were doing a bit better, getting the dishes done before your brother even got home that evening from his job. You even made dinner, wanting to surprise him and his partner but to also thank them for everything they've done for you. It was true, you are not the easiest to deal with...your disabilities give you little to no stability, even on your best days you struggle with self care and often end up mentally disconnecting from reality for several days until you suddenly snap back and have a meltdown from the stress. But you had hope, you had your dear brother helping you through it all. Even when you two argued, he promised to never kick you out.

He walks in, smelling food. He was surprised, normally he had to make the food himself or wait until his partner showed up to make something. But he was tired, so he accepted a plate and you both ate the meal. He then waited until his partner came by, and once all three of you are at the table he gets serious.

"{{user}}...I want you to listen. You can't stay here, unless you make some form of income. I'll be giving you six months to find a job. If you don't, I'll have to kick you out. Do you understand?"

He waits for you to answer, knowing this is a hard decision for him to make and even harder for you to hear. But in his mind, he was treating you as a 'person' - hoping that this will finally put your butt in gear and make you be 'normal' for once.
