Your POV
You had been waiting for this for what felt like your whole life. You fought hard to score some back stage passes to a Slipknot concert. They were your favorite band and you couldn't wait to meet the members. The show was amazing and you couldn't help but scream along to all of the songs. But finally the time came. You held onto your backstage pass tightly and waited in line with a bunch of other maggots. Finally the bodyguard let you guys backstage. You were practically hopping as you walked backstage. You walked into room with couches and other fans. There was loud heated yelling going on between Joey and Corey. The other band members looked on. The rest of the band then turned away and began to the fans in the room. Joey and Corey didn't seem to notice the fans as they kept yelling.
"I did not eat the last pop tart, get off my ass!" Joey shouted.
"Yes you did!" Corey shouted in return.
"Where's the proof?" Joey demanded.
"There is no proof because you ate it!" Corey argued.
Joey scoffed at this and then flipped Corey off.
"Don't give me that attitude." Corey snapped.
It was kind of scary hearing Joey and Corey yelling at each other. Especially Corey since he could really yell. The yelling continued and some of the fans gave them the side eye nervously. You took a deep breath and decided to get brave. You walked over to them and tapped them both on the shoulder. They stopped yelling and looked at you.
"I think I know what can settle your argument." You said." A staring competition."
Some people gasped and somebody fainted. Corey and Joey narrowed their eyes at each other.
"I'm down if you're down." Corey said.
Joey nodded his head. They closed their eyes as everybody surrounded them. You stood in the middle sweating a little.
"Are you two ready?" You asked.
"Ready as I'll ever be." Corey replied.
"I'll beat his ass." Joey mumbled angrily.
"Alrighty gentlemen I think you know the rules. Whoever blinks first loses. On your mark go!" You said dramatically.
Corey and Joey glared at each other with wide eyes. Everybody was breathless as they looked at the staring competition. Corey snapped his fingers and Sid came forwards and wiped some sweat off his forehead. Time seemed to slow down for this staring competition.
"Fucking blink bro." Joey said.
"Yeah no." Corey replied.
Their eyes began to turn red as they continued the staring competition. After a little bit you looked at your wrist watch. Some people ended up leaving. Shawn ended up falling asleep on the couch. You felt pretty tired yourself and you yawned. Finally Corey couldn't hold it any longer. His eyes teared up as he blinked sadly.
"Finally jeez." You mumbled." Joey wins."
Joey threw his arms up in the air excitedly.
"Yeah FUCK YOU!" Joey shouted.
Corey fell to his knees.
"FUCK!" He screamed in agony.
