Slipknot x reader.

Summary : slipknot is dealing with an aggressive, short tempered (Y/n).

Requested by : anonymous.

(A/N) : a first sort of platonic various slipknot x reader thingie. I can do more of these actually.

Attention! : angst! And Mental breakdown.

_______________________________________

(Y/n) did used to take medication for their behavior, but that particular medication had more negative effects than positive ones. They vowed to never take medication again.
Doesn't go to therapy, because they don't believe that works.

(Y/n) is a short wick of a person. Things that can be a minor annoyance to some, can make them explode.
So they are rarely invited to do anything with their friends, for they always bring the mood down.

All though (Y/n) is still able to count themselves most of the time. When the situation things gets tense or emotional they could tick.

The band had a tough time dealing with their behavior. They were unpredictable.
Luckily for them, (Y/n) was never violent towards people, but did destroy objects in order to prevent themselves from getting violent towards people!

Each member had their own opinion on the matter.

Corey, merely thought that he gets on their nerves a lot.
He tried to cheer them up by casting jokes or acting silly, but that backfired when something got thrown in his direction.
The singer can relate to them a little bit, however. (Y/n) has unresolved issues and no outlet for their feelings he assumes.

Sid, is (Y/n) main victim of their aggression, for he can be a bit all over the place. They're not the only one who gets pissed off at the DJ.
He did with that (Y/n) could chill out for once, for their behavior annoys him sometimes.
Maybe smoke some dank with him huh?

Shawn, thinks (Y/n) should get help. Consult someone maybe?
This behavior is destructive for themselves and the people around them.
He can feel some pity for them, there must be something going on. And just like Corey, Clown thinks (Y/n) should get a good outlet for their repressed feelings.

Mick, is annoyed with (Y/n) he remembers in some instances that he had to retain them.
Man Jesus Christ, (Y/n) please get your ass to therapy! He will help you pay for it if he has to!

Chris and Joey are a little scared of (Y/n). Finding their behavior unpredictable, fearing for their safety and their own.
Chris tried to get (Y/n) to play golf with him and relax. But (Y/n) got frustrated and gave up.

Craig seems like the only person is closest to (Y/n).
He is a quiet person, and they seem to calm down in his presence.
When (Y/n) is around, Craig is often tasked with keeping them in check.

Jim and Paul avoid (Y/n) a bit. both men not wanting to provoke them with anything. The two are worried for (Y/n) though. There has to be something going on in their private life that leaves them so angry all the time.

~~~~

Something tragic happened in (Y/n)'s family. The family dog that lived with (Y/n)'s parents has passed away.

That animal was part of the (L/n) house hold for years.
She died of old age, she was an old dog and it was only a matter of time before she would leave the world all together.

The whole family is rightfully upset and mourning. (Y/n) was distraught, their emotions all over the place.
That dog was only for the few being that could help them calm down in the past. And now she's gone. (Y/n)'s only course of comfort and stability is gone!

The mixture of grief, sadness and anger leaves (Y/n)'s mood even more unstable than ever before. Ready to trigger and breakdown at any given moment.

~~~~

The whole band is incredibly concerned as they see (Y/n) sitting there on the couch, shaking hard.
Their stare is unfocused, glaring a deep hole into the carpet. If anyone dares to even look at them funny, they'll lose it!

Corey peeks around the corner, together with Mick. He didn't want to be the only one to confront (Y/n), and Mick is strong enough to physically restrain (Y/n) if things get out of hand.
The singer steps forward and slowly towards (Y/n).
"Hey, (Y/n) How are you?" Corey asks nervously, rubbing the back of his head. Mick is standing behind him, ready to jump if (Y/n) explodes.

(Y/n) looks up, their expression show anger, but their eyes show immense sadness.
"I'm... Fine..." (Y/n) grits out through their teeth, their fists clenching.
Mick looks skeptical, "That's not true." the guitarist says, crossing his arms and shaking his head.

"and what gave that away?" (Y/n) says sarcastically. Corey grimaces at (Y/n) posture. "(Y/n), You're crying." He points out.
(Y/n) is surprised, their hand raises to their cheek, their fingers damping with tearing. (Y/n) has no idea what to feel anymore. Their mind ticks, having a complete breakdown.
More tears spills down their cheeks, (Y/n) growls then let's out a wail of despair.

Mick and Corey jump back at (Y/n) sudden scream.
(Y/n) stands up and pushes the coffee table before them over, the object that stood on the table scatter over the floor.
Mick is quick to react, grabbing (Y/n) and restraining them in his arms.
"(Y/n) please calm down!" Corey tries to speak to (Y/n), but they can't hear him over the white noise of their own mind.
(Y/n) yells and cries their heart out, thrashing in Mick's grip. He struggles to keep a hold of them. He just has to restrain them until they get too tired to fight back.

"What the hell is going on?" Joey and Shawn enter the room. Followed by Jim and Craig.
The four who entered are met with a sight of Mick holding a screaming (Y/n), and Corey trying to calm them down.
"oh my god." Jim gasps at the sight and joins Corey in comforting (Y/n).

Finally... after several minutes, (Y/n) went limp in the guitarist's arms. Their screaming ceased, leaving soft sobbing.
Mick moves (Y/n) over to the couch and let's them slowly slip out of his arms and on the couch. Corey sits down next to (Y/n) and hugs them tightly to comfort them.
Jim reaches over and rubs (Y/n) hair.
(Y/n) cries into the singer's shirt, hugging him back just as tightly.

"what happened?" Joey asks Mick quietly. "(Y/n) looked worse than ever and suddenly had a breakdown." Mick explains, gesturing to the mentioned person who's now in Corey's arms.
"oh..." Joey sighs in sympathy, looking upon (Y/n) with sadness.

Corey can hear (Y/n) mumble something into his tear-soaked shirt. "i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i'm sorry." They chant into his shoulder.
"don't be sorry (y/n). You can explain to us later." He replies to their chanting.

"whatever was bothering them became to much huh?" Shawn concludes. the others seem to agree with that.
Corey rubs his hand over (Y/n)'s back, shushing them.

"Oh man..." Jim rubs the back of his neck, unsure of what to do to help (Y/n).
"what do we do...?"

"let them cry..." Craig speaks up, slightly startling the others.
"what he said, crying it out is healthy, what i heard..." Joey agrees with the sampler.
Corey nods and continues to hold (Y/n) as they cried it out.

Once (Y/n) is well enough to speak, the present band-member will be there for them.
