nathan can tell he isn't noah's favorite person in the world. one would think that a pair of brothers so close in age would have a strong bond, but he can't ever recall this ever being the case for both of them. even if noah chooses to not say what he is thinking, nathan can notice the resentment in his face before he finally replies. " i'll have you know i have maximized my production and thus found various hustles. proper, traditional jobs are a thing of the past. "

❛    no they ' re not , nathan    .  .  .    people still have needs . . . ❜ bitter are the wars between brothers : and this one is one that he will not surrender ❛ they need doctors , lawyers , architects , literally anything other than yet another uneducated idiot giving opinions that nobody asked for . . .     ❜ that was uncalled for : and it is something he will come to regret saying . but , sometimes , like his brother , he says things without thinking them through . in his defense : his eyes burn , the lights are annoying , and he has not slept . ❛ what does that even mean anyway , ' maximized production ' , don ' t you have like ten followers ?    ❜

" that's a dumb question. everyone knows people like me don't need to think. " not the flex he thinks it is, but well, nothing can be done about his attitude. " why do you look so mad? it's too early to be stressed out. "
