His Own Drum Beat (Mugen x reader)

Take Your Time

Chapter 2

The sun was beating down on poor passerby as they walked in the unbearable heat, but that meant more business for your father due to the shop being colder than most and actually made people so cold they would buy warm clothing even though it was 90 degrees outside so yeah that was business.

Your father of course did a little convincing as well but you stayed in back and worked on more designs, that was until you heard commotion outside the shop and despite your arms and legs being covered in paint you stepped out to see what was going on.

You stepped out into the heat and noticed that everyone was headed towards one of the monuments in town, you looked and saw there was the monument covered in graffiti. This had been going on in town these few days but now they were more frequent since you saw that man and his two companions and you wondered if they had anything to do with it

“No.. They were strange but not coordinated to do something like this..” you mumbled

“Maybe those brothers, hmph not like anyone would look at them though”

You made your way back to the shop until you heard your stomach growl

“Oh yeah guess I need lunch”

You went back into the shop and found your father in the back but could hear talking like there were 4 men with him.

“Alright (f/n) enough bullshit, we know it's you writing all over town. You're the only one skilled to do it”

“I promise you it was not me-”

“Stop fucking with us! You do it one more time and we'll make sure you regret it!”

One of them noticed you standing in the doorway

“Would hate for something bad to happen to that pretty little daughter of yours”

They all looked at you and chuckled as your father hung his head low and furrowed his eyebrows

“Leave before I gouge your eyes out for even looking at my daughter” your father growled

They all glared but soon left, leaving you alone with your father

“Dad are you alright?”

He ran a hand through his hair

“I'll be fine my dear, is there something you need?”

“I was gonna get food and wanted to see if you wanted anything”

He got up and popped his back, your father was a big man, like a bear everyone would say. He sure ate like a bear

“3 orders of squid, maybe some eel if you can honey”

He took a hand full of money from his pocket, it was more than what he would normally give you, like a lot more.

“Dad I can pay for it”

“No no my dear take it”

You decided not to argue and stuck the money in your coin purse then into your yukata.

“I'll be back soon okay?”

He simply nodded

“Alright honey take your time, just take all the time you need..”

“Um alright dad, I love you”

And with that you headed off to search for food

“I love you too my dear…”

“Hmmm…”

You had made it to your favourite little place to eat but couldn't really tell what you wanted to eat
