"Dimwit"
This was the only thought in Aspen's head as he watched and listened to Berry ramble on about Seth's illness and how worried he was for the teenager. It was to Aspen's advantage though because he could not see himself explaining his newfound emotion towards Seth to Berry. Aspen was worried about Seth, correct, but that wasn't the only reason he wanted Seth to move in with him.
When Berry was done meandering, he sighed in distress. This chat with Aspen had left him thinking more about Seth, and honestly, he worried for Seth. Seth was still so young, yet terminally ill. "Don't hesitate to ask him to move in with you. If you need help with it, you can ask me, and I will try to persuade him, okay?" He magnanimously offered, patting Aspen's shoulder as a sign of support.
With an unblinking stare directed at Berry, Aspen slowly nodded, thanking the heavens that his closest friend was this slow. He wasn't complaining though.
