Kia knew he should've been home a few hours ago, but he'd been too caught up in racing his bike around and trying to get in someone's pants to give a fuck. He didn't drink or do any other drugs and he wasn't about to get some girl pregnant, so he didn't think his family should care how late he came home on the weekends, especially when he helped

He would've done terrible in a normal job, so he made what money he could as long as nobody questioned his methods for making it.
When the laundry room door opened, he looked up from getting detergent on his oil-stained pants and pointed at his wallet. "Things went pretty well. Stupid rich kids always think they can beat me until they're tasting dust and gravel."
[Oh hi there! I don't mind at all~]

"And if they don't learn better, all the better for us, isn't it?" Soren wore a faintly smug smile, though it was no less genuine.

He didn't mind being nearly-naked around Soren. They were both guys, after all. It wasn't like they'd see anything terribly weird if one or the other ended up completely naked. "What've you been up to other than sitting with your nose in a pile of books?"

"Other than that? Thinking." An obvious answer, though he didn't use a bad tone with the word. Soren did like to mull in his thoughts, sometimes becoming lost in them if he let himself by accident. He was normally a very alert young man. When he felt that Kia didn't seem to be watching him overly much, he allowed his gaze to flick over Kia's near-naked body.
"I was considering applying for a few other jobs so that there will be more financial cushioning on top of what we usually gain. The one at the library doesn't want to give me any more hours than they already have." Soren didn't have work the next day, so that was why he was up so late. He was normally asleep several hours earlier.

"Could've guessed. You do that about as much as you read," he teased. "You're too serious - don't you ever just relax and look at porn once in a while?" Kia either didn't notice that he was being looked over or he didn't care. He enjoyed attention most of the time anyway.
"Don't worry about getting another job. Focus on the library and going back to school or something. I'll do more to help out." Soren was better off not asking what else Kia did to get money when he wasn't kicking people's asses on his bike.

Soren smirked lightly, almost warmly. "I do look at it - when I know you're not around. I'm not entirely all that I seem." However, it seemed that Kia's words had lifted a bit of a weight off of his shoulders. He had entertained the notion of returning to school, but what with all of the financial worries, he desperately wanted things to be on more stable ground first. Even if he managed to net scholarships and grants.
"You already do a lot, Kia." His tone was, openly, that of appreciation.

He chuckled at that reply, since he honestly hadn't expected it. "I guess not. Would've guessed it cut into your time on more serious reading and you wouldn't find it worth it." Seeing Soren look a bit more relaxed made him happier too.
"I don't mind helping," he said. A moment later, he stepped in closer to Soren and pushed his brother's hair out of his face.

"Hmmm." Soren permitted the touch - Kia and his father were about the only ones he tolerated touch from, and briefly closed his eyes, the smile on his face warming a little as well as, mildly, the color on his cheeks. The latter didn't last long when he'd exerted control over himself to stifle the response.
"And I want to be able to help out more. That's all," Soren added, opening his eyes.

"Once you finish school and get a good job, you'll be able to help out plenty."

Soren did not generally have any interest in sex itself beyond his brother, even if not blood related.

Kia smiled warmly at him. "Anything else you want before I head to bed?"

"How about your company over some tea or something?" he ventured. "I don't think we've properly just relaxed a little bit before bed in awhile." Simple drinks, simple clothes, simple tastes - so long as it was practical and served its purpose without breaking, Soren liked it. Teas especially, whether cheap and instant or with the bags. It was why he'd bought himself a tea pot about a year ago.

"That's not a bad idea." Kia wasn't a big tea fan, but he'd drink it once in a while, especially since Soren really enjoyed it and it was a way to spend more time with him.
