cockblocked | in which Sylus gets cockblocked by Mephisto two times, but for the third time he’s ready.

I miss y’all’s reviews 😔

Mephisto’s POV:

He trusted him.

He trusted that tall, broody human with the scar and the attitude. The one who always gave him scraps of jerky and let him perch on his shoulder during long drives. The one who scratched behind his wing just the way he liked it.

But now... now he was betrayed.

“Craw...?” Mephisto blinked down at the basket. It wasn’t you. It wasn’t Sylus. It wasn’t even a shiny protocore worth cawing over. Just... rocks.

Ugly, dusty, unseasoned rocks.

“Crawwwww!!” he screamed to the sky, wings flapping dramatically like he was in a tragic opera. Somewhere, a crow choir cried in solidarity.

His little crow heart cracked like a dropped eggshell. Was this what heartbreak felt like? Was this the end of trust? The end of crumbs?

He flew back to the base at full speed—tears in his big, round eyes, feathers puffed up in righteous fury. He needed answers. He needed justice. He needed to—

And then he saw it.

Sylus. His Sylus. Naked. Again.

On top of her.

“...”

A pause.

Mephisto let out the loudest, most heartbroken “CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!” the zone had ever heard.

Sylus didn’t even flinch. Just reached for the damn blanket like a sinner trying to hide the crime.

Unacceptable.

With the force of betrayal fueling his tiny body, Mephisto flew directly into Sylus’ back like a feathery missile of vengeance. “CROW FORGIVES NOTHING!” (Or at least, that’s what he imagined screaming. It came out as a distressed flapping and screeching.)

⸻

Let’s just say... next time Sylus tried to seduce someone, Mephisto was already waiting. Watching. Judging. Holding a pebble like it was a weapon.
