Slipknot x reader (one-shots)

25# The Supporter.

Slipknot x Reader.

Summary : at an interview. (Y/n) recalls their time with the band over the years.

(a/n): I am no expert on the origins of the band, i'm vaguely aware of it. Sorry if i get things wrong... just-just go with it okay?

_______________________________________

"do you remember how you met the band?" The interviewer asks politely. She must be rather new to this profession. She look young.

(Y/n) scratches their chin. Doing their very best dig out old memories of the beginning.

"I was already friends with Joey from school, i grew up on Des Moines.
One time while hanging out at his job I met his other friends where he wanted to start a band with."

~~June 1991~~

"I wanna start this very epic side project together with Paul!" Joey elaborates on his ideas he's been working on together with this guy named Paul that (Y/n) hasn't met yet. 

(Y/n) has visited Joey on his night shift to give him snacks and company. 
It can be quiet during night shifts here. And (Y/n) got the willingness, energy and time to be there with him. 
(Y/n) just listens as Joey goes on and on, smiling softly at their friend being so passionate. 
"I know this idea of yours will become on of the greatest things out there!" (Y/n) encourages. 
Joey looks at them with big eyes, "You think so?" He asks, (Y/n) nods and confirms. "I know so."

Half a year later, The plans of the band finally went in motion. The only thing that was a struggle was finding the money to make the album. Most of the money went to the club owners to pay the damages to the stage...
That is until the band's savior showed up once again. 

(Y/n) stands in front of the band, looking like they have something important to say. 
They dig into their jacket, and pull out an envelope with 1500 dollars cash. 
"take this." They kindly demand, shoving the envelope into Paul's chest. 
Clown, Joey and Paul gape at the envelope full of money. 
"we can't take this!" Paul panics, trying to hand the money back to (Y/n). 

"Isn't that your college fund?" Clown comments. (Y/n) nods, pushing the envelope back to the band. The band looks thunderstruck, is (Y/n) really willing to give them half of their savings?
"Half of it anyway, i can earn it back in two years." They claim, shrugging as if it's no big deal. 
"My job pays me well." 
The band doesn't look very convinced to take the offer yet. 
(Y/n) sighs and then clears their throat for a little pep-talk. 
"I see the potential this band has, i may not be a part of the band itself but i wanna help in anyway i can!" (Y/n) says with a big smile
They couldn't say anything else, for they were enveloped in a group hug from the three men. 

~~ May 1997~~

The band got a new singer who is pretty good, and got the Slipknot spirit already. 
(Y/n) has heard of him, his name is something like Corey? 

(Y/n) shows up at the studio every once in a while to check up on the band and... basically take care of them if they don't do it themselves. 
When they walk in, they can already see that the place needs a clean up in their opinion.  

(Y/n) is about to enter another room, and nearly clashes with another person. Luckily (Y/n)'s reflexes are quick enough from them to take a swift step back from whoever almost bumped into them. 

"watch it!" the man before them yells in surprise. (Y/n) looks at the man. A man off average height, he has long wavy, strawberry blond hair that's covered by a Jack skeleton beanie. He also has blue eyes, and a very thick noticeable neck.
He looks... tired and angry. 
This must be the new singer right?
