Family gatherings are made 10x more bearable with you around. <3
Having cousins to grow up with is like getting a "default BFF pack" to pick and choose from.
And if you're close to them, there's always that one cousin who should have really just been a sibling.
There's never any awkwardness because you're already aware of each other's weird habits.
Which you discovered over years of bonding drowsily with each other, while the adults chatted in the lounge at late-night family gatherings.

You're immune to being yelled at by your parents in front of each other.
And it involves a lot of "LEARN SOMETHING FROM YOUR COUSIN" mainly because you both behave better in front of each other's moms than your own.
Bitching about the rest of the khandaan is all the more fun because you both already know the backstory.
"UGHHH, chhoti mausi's kids are here."
