Impulse Control? What’s That?

(Hiiiii ik that this is oddly writtted as English is not my first language but I hope you enjoy this :,))

Amadeus found a comfort in romanticizing everything around him, so when he met Delphyne, he loved her. It was just fun to see the best case scenario in everything that could happen with her (even though studies show that individuals only feel true romantic love once they hit their early thirties), everything else in his life seemed very ‘Set In Stone’-ish so having a part of his life be purely based on a guilty pleasure was needed. When he was around her he felt the type of emotions that he knew wouldn’t be felt again once he does experience a genuine romantic attraction (which is not entirely true as romantic love is less a single type of relation and more so a complex friendship with a sexual attraction, but that sounds too much like something a guy that un ironically hates Kesha would say which is unacceptable to Amadeus) his only emotion around Delphyne is a pure rush of so many emotions at once and a need to just do something.

He knew that she knew that he knew that she knew that. After all he is a genius.

He also knew that Delphyne Gorgon was objectively a smart person. She’s strategic, years of being trained by the best warriors in the world helped, but it also had something to do with the way her thoughts process. While Amadeus went from point a to point c to point 67abc, she followed rational thought.

When fighting Delphyne doesn’t bring out her knife and stab a mans knee, she stabs his weaker looking knee exactly on the spot that would make him scream and distract his teammates. So he doesn’t question it when she tells him an order and ends up winning a battle. So he doesn’t question it when she gets frustrated with him for not understanding his logic behind not fighting everyone and just using a single calculation to take all the bad guys out (“I know that you think it’s not fair that I can use math to better our strategies but that’s not a reason for you to be angry with me. We’re fighting side by side so don’t take the piss on me because I hurt your ego”)

He doesn’t question how instead of a hurt expression on her face she’s solemn. Uncomfortable silence fills the air on their way back home until she stops and tells him “My issue with you is not an ego that was bruised, it is the lack of respect-“

“I respect you!”

“Not if you interrupt me”

“......”

“You seem too interested in endorsing your intellect, to a point where you forget that behaving impatiently and on your toes is the same tactic as someone who lacks intellect” she stood up taller as she continued “When you ask me for a plan I recognize that you are able to calculate in a matter of milliseconds, the cursed Athena blessed you with that skill, but I also recognize that your calculations would only stop the person in charge of the chaos not the chaos itself. So I commanded you to use your calculations to stop the technology used in the fight, you however decided that it was more important to impress everyone by doing something you knew would work but weren’t told to do. That to me is irony is it not?”

The brick stuck in his throat made it harder for him to swallow his pride “I’m.. I’m sorry Delph, I guess I just got frustrated because you didn’t really recognize ways that I co-“

“An apology were the blame is shifted on me reeks of coward ness” he swore the snakes in her hair glared with her.

“I.....” he stopped “You’re right. It was very Johnny Storm of me to disrespect you like that when I know how skilled you are. To top it off I acted like an ass when you tried to call me out on it the first time, even though I was right about the ‘me-being-a-genius’ part it was highkey tasteless I’m sorry.” He unlocked their apartment with guilt settling into his chest

“I appriciate your apology”

“Seriously though I am a genius”

So he doesn’t question it when she pushes him onto the couch shouting “asshole” in Greek.

So he doesn’t question it when she kisses him in a way that was more passionate then they ever really did. Usually when they did that it was slow and they stopped for air.

But tonight it was something that was just pure joy; she jumped on him and he couldn’t help but laugh at the impact, she smiled but they didn’t stop. It wasn’t one long fight with their tongues over dominance, it was pecks on kisses all over his face as she straddled him.

His hands shaking while he reached under her shirt, he’s nervous but he can’t help the laugh that comes out when he asks her “Would you be okay with me...” his face feels warm and his eyes are welcoming the smile that reaches them “pffffft.... you know!”

Delphyne’s laugh filters the room a warm orange. It’s comforting, excited, delighted, and matches the tone in his eye.

He unhinges the clips on the back, only to cringe. Immediately she stops.

Her facial expressions don’t say much but she openly tells him “If you are of any discomfort inform me. I respect myself and you, far too much to continue if that is-“

“I don’t know how to take off your bra when you’re still in a shirt” Jesus does he have two brain cells.

Delphynes laugh has the element of a typical Greek laugh, it’s loud and vibrant, but it just has a happier ring to it, one that makes Amadeus join in at how ridiculous his statement is.

“Mood just kinda died didn’t it?” He asked with a toothy grin.

“A little bit” they’re both still smiling so genuinely he loves it. They both love that there isn’t an awkward silence that follows but a roar of laughter.

I hate how they treated Amadeus. All of it.

It feels like they made an entirely different character and gave him his name. A lot of key moments in his backstory seemed to be erased, especially with his hero, and we never even got to see any bit of his past.

They also made him completely dependent on the armor when... he’s literally the seventh smartest person in the world? He’s defeated robots with literal rocks?
