I don't think I'll ever write "older B&D" the way I write "older S&H". But I got the prompt word "Paintbrush", and this just kind of came together.

Military Surplus

Doyle loathes decorating with a passion. Wallpaper, paintbrushes—carpet samples, for God's sake. It's enough to send any normal man round the twist. Just because he can paint doesn't mean he has to.

He's got too many memories of a childhood in a house where the pristine state of the walls and floor mattered more than a growing boy's need to play. He firmly ignores Bodie's moaning about living in a tip.

That is, until the day Bodie arrives home with two cans of paint—one battleship grey, one camouflage green—and politely inquires which he'd prefer for the bedroom.

Bwahahahaha!!! Camouflage bedroom, alright. I bet Doyle changed his mind about decorating rather quick.

Hah! I love it! Doyle will have to pretend that the camo green is actually a lovely forest colour and use it for the baseboards. ;-) Love your older B&D!

I don't think I'll ever write "older B&D" the way I write "older S&H". Think again, this is a *lovely* snapshot of older Bodie and Doyle. And damn funny, too. 'Fraid you got it, my friend.*g*

Very cute, Verlaine. You have older B&D down just fine. Thanks for this. I loved the idea that Bodie brought home those colours. That's so funny.

Just because he can paint doesn't mean he has to ... I love that so much. Oh, and green for the bedroom I'd say ...

oh lord, another SH'er jumping ship on me.
But I might just have join Pros for the feedback alone..

This made me laugh! I can so see Bodie manipulating Doyle in just this manner. Nice bit of double-think.

Oh this fed my love of 'evil curtain fic'. Delicious!

Oooh! Do you think he'll maybe use the colours, plus the combined one (a sort of murky brown?) to create a mural??!!

I just read your drabbles - excellent, all of them! :)
