Disclaimer: I do not own Deadliest Catch or the men that appear in the show. This is a complete work of fiction. However, Layla is an OC and her character, family, and backstory are of my own creation. Also, Rated M for a reason. Language, and the usual smut.

(FIRST NIGHT OF TOUR, AFTER SEATTLE SHOW. ON ROAD FOR A FEW HOURS WHEN THEY ALL TRY TO STOP FOR FOOD.)

LAYLAPOV:

Thank God all of the buses were connected by radio otherwise the hunt for food that everyone liked would have been that much more difficult.

The Hillstrands wanted some sort of Mexican food.

The Hansens wanted seafood. Shock.

The Colburns were suprisingly unopinionated.

And the Harris's wanted bar food.

In the end, Layla decided to play peacemaker over the radio.

"Hey, we are going to on tour for a week. How bout' we assign each bus a night where they get to pick the food. No crybabies," she said.

The radio was silent for a few moments before Scotty Hillstrand said that everyone on his bus agreed, and each boat soon radio'd consent.

"Okay so we get to pick tonight, cool?" Layla asked.

"That's fine," Keith said. "There is a seafood place off the next exit."

"Thank God I'm starving," Layla said and then signed off. "Jesus, you all argue like old ladies at a knitting circle," Layla laughed to Sig sitting next to her in the back of the bus.

"Watch it, Missy," Sig laughed.

EDGARPOV:

As everyone piled out of their buses and stretched their limbs in the parking lot. Edgar looked around to notice Mike looking over at Layla, but Layla was talking with Jake and Josh. Edgar decided he needed to show Mike that Layla was in no way up for grabs. But he had to do it in a way that Layla wouldn't shy away from. She had been in a possesive relationship before and he didn't want to push her away by smothering her.

So he just walked over and put his arms around her from behind and kissed the top of her head, much to Jake and Josh's playful pestering.

"Hey, you," Layla said as she looked over he shoulder at him.

"Hey, you," he smiled down at her.

"You guys are gross," Jake laughed.

"What happened to the 'love them and leave them' way of fisherman?" Josh asked, pretending to be disappointed in Edgar and Layla playfully whacked Josh's arm.

"I'm to old for that," Edgar said.

"Well, you're half right," Jake laughed and then ran away quickly before Edgar could punch his arm. Edgar laughed and shook his head as they starting walking through the parking lot to the restaurant, trying to shut Jake up who was still laughing.
