Nega Scott takes on (the world!) DEMO

14. The Horror!

(sorry for the hiatus, I got distracted!!)

Negascott stretched after sitting down on the couch in Stephen and Neils apartment. Currently Stephen and Knives were writing a song together, Negascott, Neil, and Kim watching on casually. Well, actually Neil was playing a game, but they were all on the same couch, it was pretty spacious.

 Turns out the movie wasn't going to be made, something about the CEO stepping in? Negascott didn't really pay attention when Wallace told him. Not like it mattered, there was no good reason for him to remain on set, so he didn't care.

On another note, he was going to go over to Ramona's to try to figure out a new plan of action, since there weren't any leads recently.

"Bread makes you full~ ♫" Knives and Stephen singing together chimed him back to reality.

"Too obvious..." Knives sighed.

"Bread makes you fat~ ♪" They sang again, seeming to have hit a stroke of genius.

Negascott eyes widened slightly. "Bread makes you fat??"

"Uh yeah?" Kim looked at him like he was stupid.

Knives joined the conversation casually, "A lot of things make you fat if you eat too much. Especially bread."

Negascott shrugged nervously, shaking it off. "I mean er, yeah that's probably true. Whatever! I don't even like bread all that much. In fact, I hate garlic bread specifically."

Kim raised an eyebrow, "Are you just saying that because Scott really likes garlic bread?" 

"...yeah." Negascott giggled quietly, immediately folding, he hadn't ever even tried garlic bread, he hadn't tried a lot of things actually now that he thought about it...

Kim rolled her eyes, standing up from the couch. "I'm going to go get something to drink."

Knives and Stephen promptly went back to playing and trying to write lyrics.

Neil seemed like he wasn't paying much attention to what was going on around him, since the minute Kim left, he flopped down onto his back, but Negascott was sitting there and Neil ended up on his lap. Negascott let out a little yelp as he felt the impact, and Neil looked confused "was the couch always this warm...?"

"Uh... that's because you're on me." Negascott shyly pointed out, a blush creeping onto his face.

"Oh. Sorry." Neil replied, not bothered much by the current situation.

Negascott was a little nervous though, not wanting things to be awkward, he grabbed a pillow and gestured for Neil to put his head up, he then shuffled out of the way and replaced his lap with the pillow for Neil. He got up on the arm of the couch, turns out good timing because Stephen and Knives had decided to take break and walked over to the pair, pulling up a chair to the couch.

Stephen twiddles his thumbs nervously as he starts, "I hope you know how much we value you your opinion pal, we're adapting your work after all; we want to be as faithful as possible. So, what do you think?"

Neil looks up at him briefly, turning away from his game "Huh? Oh, it's nice I guess, I've kind of stopped paying attention to stuff relating to the movie though..." 

Kim, who was standing nearby after getting a can of soda, raised an eyebrow, and Neil continued, 

"I don't even really remember writing it..."

 Stephen looks at him in mild shock, "Really? No offense but how could you say that? All my songs are like... my children to me!" 

Negascott chuckles, "You don't remember writing it? What, did it just appear on your desk fully completed or something?"
