So I’m currently on a SGU rewatch (season 1 right now) and I looove Young and Eli’s relationship. I think they have such respect and care for each other, just like a father to his son. And I wanted to portray that relationship through little missing scenes (or not !). This series will start off with Water and will unfold throughout the episodes.
FIRST CHAPTER : CARE (First talk between Eli and Colonel Young on Destiny where it did not involved urgent matters :) )
Eli was laying down on his bed, facing the ceiling and earphones on when he heard knocks on his door. Getting up to open it, he was surprised to be face to face with Young. « Colonel ?»
« Eli », Young responded, with the hint of a smile.
Ever since they ended up on this ship, it was the very first time that Colonel Young came to see him in his personal quarters. This visit clearly worried Eli who did not manage to hide his reaction. « Umm what’s going on ? »
« Nothing to worry about. I just came to thank you for today. »
« The sled, Eli.» Young responded, amused. « That was quite clever.»
« Oh, right. » Eli looked down at his feet, at loss for words. After having spent the day being reduced to a child by someone who was supposed to be his mentor, he was struck by Colonel Young’s words of encouragement. « Yeah, I can have good ideas like that… maybe not all the time. », he says, looking down to the floor again.
Young detects an undertone of sadness in his voice and frowns. « You do get good ideas, Eli. For example, those kinos you have flying around recording that documentary, that’s a good idea. »
« Really ?! », he suddenly exclaims and then clears his throat, « I mean, you really think so ? It just doesn’t seem to be that popular of an idea around here. », he says, chuckling.
« If those footages ever get back to Stargate Command one day, there will be will a whole team of scientists and what not dissecting every minute of it, there’s no doubt about it. »
A pause and Eli just stares at him.
« It’s a good idea, Eli. And I’m sure you’ll get more of these in the future. », Young says, smiling warmly at him now.
He seems so sincere, Eli thinks. To hear those words being uttered to him makes him feel so good after the way he’s been treated today and he’s trying very hard not to let tears fill up his eyes. Instead, he just nods.
« Actually, about these kinos, Eli. » Young continues « Could you show me how they work ? »
