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.
