Superbowl Lost Bet by EE

---

It was time for the 2025 Superbowl. At Fredrick Fraternity, it's an annual tradition for the guys to watch the football and to place a bet. About 2 hours before the game, the entire frat house plus some of their buddies from off-campus have started to arrive for the annual Superbowl watch party. Dean, the frat leader and the appointed "Superbowl Bet Commissioner" got everyone together and announced: "Welcome to the 2025 Superbowl everyone. So, who wants to do this year's bet?" Immediately, Jason and Brian put their hands up. Now for context, there was tension in the air between Brian and Jason for a while now. Both are very athletic and handsome guys and have a few times competed for girls' attention. It was not at all surprising they volunteered to bet against each other.

"Ok, so who wants to bet for which team?" Said Dean.

"I bet that the Chiefs will win!" claimed Brian. "No way! The Eagles will win!" shouted Jason.

"It's settled then." Dean said. "If Chiefs win, Brian wins. If Eagles win, Jason wins. Simple."

"What does the loser have to do?" asked Jason.

"Hmmm, let me have a think. Last year John's lost bet punishment was to run around the campus naked. I want something more long term than that. Hmmmm." Dean said in an unsure tone whilst giving John a cheeky look.

"Come on, let us know man!" said Brian impatiently.

"Ok I think I know. Ooh this is gonna be fun! The loser has to have his head shaved by the winner."

"WHAT? WHAT THE HELL?" shouted Brian as he ran his hand through his thick brown hair.

"WOW." said Jason, who looked in the nearby mirror, admiring his blonde locks.

"Yep. And I mean completely bald and shiny with a razor, so it'll take longer to grow back. I need a final decision guys, are you in or not?" announced Dean.

Brian immediately begged: "Oooh, I don't know, man. I've just started dating Sarah. It's gonna destroy my looks." "Dude, you cheated on her like 3 times already. Don't pretend you love her." Jason snapped back. "Yeah, easy for you to say, didn't you get like 5 STDs from 10 girls?" said Brian. "I'm not sure about it either, I love my hair. Is there another punishment you could do dude?" asked Jason. "Nope" said Dean. "My decision is final. You either both accept the bet or back out. Your choice."

At this point, the entire party have started to shout "DO IT! DO IT!" over and over. Feeling the pressure from all their buddies, Jason and Brian looked at each other helplessly. Dean gave them an ultimatum: "Well? The game is in half hour. You need to decide!" "Let's do this!" said Brian. "OK, what the hell. It's hair, it grows back." said Jason. "Shake on it!" said Dean as Brian and Jason shook hands and made the bet official.

It was nearly time for the game to start. In front of the TV was the usual platter of buffalo wings, many crates of beer and potato chips. Dean goes upstairs to his dorm room then comes down, placing hair clippers, a wash basin, some towels, a Gillette razor, replacement cartridge blades, shave gel and aftershave onto the table along with the food and drink. "I meant what I said. The loser goes bald." said Dean. Both Jason and Brian looked at the shaving supplies in horror whilst the rest of the guys laughed. Brian bragged to Jason: "Can't wait to shave that nasty blonde mop off your head boy! The chiefs will win!" "Yeah yeah. We'll see baldy to be." said Jason.

The game finally starts. Lots of roars, laughs and of course beer drinking. Before long, the halftime comes round with the Eagles winning 24-0 thus far. Brian is now sat on the sofa, sulking and touching his hair. The Chiefs losing the game is a real possibility at this point, he thought. Jason, who is grinning non-stop and becoming more smug they watched Kendrick Lamar perform his halftime show. "They not like us, they not like us!" the guys all chanted, except Brian of course. Jason then went up to Brian up close to his face as Kendrick Lamar sang "A minooooorrr": "A baldaaayyyy!!!"

The second half of the game was filled with tension for Brian and excitement for Jason and everyone else. Brian became more and more agitated as the game went on. Then finally the game ends - the Eagles beat the Chiefs 40-22. "Phew! I get to keep my hair and not destroy my looks" said Jason as he runs his hand through his blonde hair. "Time to lose it all baldy boy!" "Oh my God! Oh my God! Why did I agree to this!? I'm gonna look horrific!" said Brian as he also ran his fingers through his brown hair.

The rest of the guys moved the lounge table to the side and placed a stool in the middle of the room. "Sit!" said Jason to Brian. "The sooner it's done the sooner it's over with." As Brian sits on the stool, the entire party gathers around the stool, some with their phones out, filming. Jason plugs in the clippers, removes all its guards and switches it on as Brian closed his eyes. Without any hesitation, Jason drove the roaring clippers straight through Brian's crown as chunks of 3-inch long and thick chestnut brown hair starts raining down onto Brian's shoulder, lap and the floor. The clippers left behind a very obvious white strip of 1mm stubbles on top of Brian's head. "Hello, Dr Phil!" said Jason as the crowd laughed. Jason carried on mercilessly buzzing off Brian's hair on the sides and back as more and more brown hair tumbled onto the floor. Within 6 minutes, he was finished as Jason switches the clippers off. "Wow, thats so short", said Jason as he felt Brian's stubbled scalp. "You wanna feel? Its so satisfying." as Jason reached for Brian's fingers and made Brian feel it. Brian nearly had tears in his eyes but said nothing the whole time. He's been defeated and he knows it.

"Now we move onto the fun part." said Jason. "Can someone fill this basin with hot water please? I want him smooth." Dean returns with the basin of hot water as Jason soaks a towel in it. He then places the hot towl over Brian's entire scalp. "This will open up your pores on your head for a smooth shave. I used to help out at my dad's barbershop you know. I've learnt a few things." said Jason. "This is SOOO going on instagram dude!" said John (last year's loser) who is filming the whole thing. Jason removes the hot towel from Brian's head and shook the can of shave gel when Brian finally spoke: "Stop! Stop! Please. You've already shaved me. Do I have to go all the way smooth? Please I've had enough of this. I don't want to be totally bald!"

Jason turns to Dean: "Commissioner?"

Dean replied: "A bet's a bet and you lost. Lather him up!"

Jason's face filled with delight as he applies a generous lump of shave gel to Brian's head and rubs it all over his stubbly scalp. The area where Brian's hair used to be is now covered in a thick layer of white foam. Jason washes his hands in the kitchen and then inserts a brand new cartridge into the Gillette razor. "Those blades are mine, by the way, for my face and balls." said Dean as everyone laughed. Jason picks up the razor as Brian closes his eyes again. "Here goes." said Jason as he pulls the razor from Brian's forehead to the top of his crown, leaving a strip of white-pink bare scalp. Jason rinsed the razor in the basin and felt the smooth strip on Brian's crown: "Wow, that's an incredibly close shave. Anyone else wanna feel?" One by one in turns, most of the guys watching all put their finger onto Brian's clean-shaven scalp strip. "So smooth. Those Gillette razors can really shave anything huh?" said John.

Jason continued to scrape clean Brian's head, strip by strip, rinsing the razor in the basin after each stroke. The scraping noise of each stroke as the tiny stubbles are removed are deafening in Brian's ears. "I bet when you shaved your face this morning you didn't think you'd get the same on your head, huh?" said Jason. "You're enjoying this, aren't you?" said Brian. "Ooh yeah. It's not everyday I get to shave someone's head." smiled Jason. Finally, Jason removes the shaving cream from the last stroke of the razor. Looking at Brian's bare head, his ears have become extremely pronounced, especially at the back.

"Nope, let's do one more!" said Jason as he lathers up Brian's head a second time, "I want to make sure his head is as smooth as possible!" For the second shave, Jason pressed against Brian's scalp to feel for little micro hairs left behind and then runs the razor across. He then feels Brian's head against the grain and if he feels friction he would shave that area. When he can't shave anymore, Jason wiped the remaining shaving cream off with a towel. "All finished baldie!" exclaimed Jason, "I just have one more thing." Jason applied some soothing aftershave onto Brian's bald head and rubbed it all in. "Aaaaah that stings!!" complained Brian. Dean then announces to the group: "Anyone wants to slap his head?" as he rubs then gives Brian's clean-shaven head a good smack. Taking turns, most of the guys have a go at slapping Brian's bald head and laugh in the process, further humiliating him.

"Are we done?" shouted Brian.

"Yes, all finished." said Jason. "You wanna see?" Brian got up to go to the bathroom as the whole group followed him. As Brian saw his bald and beardless reflection in the mirror he shouted: "OH MY GOD! I'M BALD! I LOOK LIKE A HAIRLESS EGG! WHAT'S SARAH GONNA THINK? I LOOK SO UGLY! SHE'S GONNA KILL ME!" Brian then grabbed a hand mirror to check the back of his head: "OH MY GOD! LOOK AT MY EARS! THEY ARE MASSIVE! I HATE THIS LOOK!" Dean stepped in and said: "I gotta say, you don't look too bad shaven. You got a decent head shape dude. Well done though! You managed to do the bet." Jason also said: "Yeah its not bad actually. Some girls like bald guys. It will grow back soon don't worry. Was fun shaving ya dude!" Brian continues to panic: "What is my parents gonna think? They are quite conservative and gon' think I've become a Skinhead. Oh my God! I've never even had a buzzcut before never mind a bald head. It'll be Spring Break soon and I have my cousins wedding coming up! Oh my God!" Dean replies with: "Well you should have thought of all of this before you shook on the bet!" "Yes but I was convinced Chiefs was gonna win. How long would it take for my hair to grow back to the way it was?" asked Brian. "Probably about 6 months I'd say" replied Jason. Brian finally comes to the realization of his new look: "Oh my God! I'm gonna be ugly for half a year!"

A week later, Brian is seen at a college party wearing a baseball cap, with a grown out very short buzz visible on the side. This was his first outing in public since the shave. Six months later and Brian's hair is back to the 3-inch long luscious brown locks pre-Superbowl shave. He's never ever forgotten the time he was forced to go completely bald and has ever since appreciated his hair even more.
