His Girls - Ari Levinson x Reader

Warnings: None just fluff.

Ari wasn't sure what changed when he met you, but his life definitely shifted.

He began to grow more hesitant to go on long mission, even the short ones he'd take time to think over whether to do it or not.

When he was on missions his mind would always go to you. Wondering what you were doing back home, wishing you were lying in bed beside him.

You'd become such an important fixture in his life. He knew with every bone in his body that he wanted forever with you. He now knew what it was like to be completely, utterly, and hopelessly in love with someone.

He wanted a future with you, and as soon as he knew that he also knew he had to introduce you to the other important girl in his life.

"Hey how are you?" Ari smiled when he opened his apartment door and laid eyes on you.

"A little nervous if I'm honest" you say with a small smile as you step inside.

"Don't worry, she'll love you just like I do" Ari says reassuringly, kissing your cheek.

He takes your hand and leads you further into the apartment. As you round the corner you could see Maya sat on the floor of the living room playing with her dolls.

"Maya, there's someone I'd like you to meet" Ari says bending down in front of Maya.

The little girl nods putting her doll down and standing up with Ari, holding onto his hand tightly. As she approaches you bend down to be at her eye level.

"Maya this is my girlfriend (Y/N)" Ari says introducing you.

"Hi it's lovely to finally meet you, your dad has told me so much about you" you smile.

Maya gives you a small nervous smile stepping closer to her dad. Ari rubbing her back reassuringly.

"How about we all go out for lunch?" Ari suggest sensing Maya's hesitance.

You don't say anything waiting to see if Maya wanted to or not. You didn't want her to be even more uncomfortable. She looks over at Ari before glancing over at you and whispering in his ear.

"Yes we can go there" Ari agrees a smile growing on the little girls face.

"Go get your shoes on and we'll go" Ari tells her nodding over to her shoes.

Once she was gone Ari smiles over at you "you okay with ice cream for lunch?" He asks with a small chuckle.

You chuckle along with him nodding your head in agreement. Ari smiles stepping towards you, wrapping his arm around you and kissing your temple. Maya then ran over grabbing his hand tugging it excitedly.

"Right then lets go" Ari smiles picking Maya up so she's rested on his hip, taking your hand.

Throughout lunch both you and Ari tried your hardests to get Maya to warm up to you but to no avail. She remained quiet, occasionally whispering to her dad.

When you all got back to Ari's apartment Maya went to go do some drawing while you and Ari watched from the kitchen. Ari saw you sigh to yourself, your doubts written over your face.

"Hey stop that" he says pulling you into his embrace.

"She's just shy, she'll warm up to you eventually" he tells you rubbing your back.

"I know, I just don't want her to feel uncomfortable with me being with you" you sigh.

Ari smiles to himself, he loved how considerate you were. Your feelings about the situation weren't important to you, you just cared about her feelings.

"I know, and she will be I promise" Ari says kissing the top of your head.

Your conversation was interrupted when the phone rang.

"I better get that" Ari sighed heading over to the phone.

You nod heading out of the kitchen to give him some privacy while he answered the phone. It no doubt being work related.

You made your way towards Maya sitting down near her as she drew. She glanced over at you with a timid smile before returning her attention to her drawing.

"What you drawing there?" You ask her.

"Daddy, he said he got to ride horses when he went away" she explained pointing to the horses she was drawing.

"Oh wow, they're very good" you say smiling when she gave you a bashful smile.

There was a moment of silence before Maya spoke again "I like your hair, it's pretty" Maya says.

You smile, hand instinctively running over your hair which was done in Dutch braids.

"Thank you, does your mommy do your hair like this?" You ask her, but she shakes her head in answer.

"Would you like me to?" You ask again, her smile growing as she nodded.

You moved to sit behind her and started braiding her hair like yours. Putting your hands on her shoulders when you were done.

"There you go, it's very pretty on you" you smile.

"Thank you, I wish I could do it like you" Maya tells you as you move to sit beside her.

"I can teach you if you want?" You offer and the little girl instantly become animated as she nods her head.

You smile grabbing one of her dolls to show her. You slowly go over all the steps explaining everything as you braided the dolls hair. Helping her as she then gave it a go.

"Could you braid daddy's hair?" Maya asks making you chuckle.

"I don't know, i'll have to find out, you might be able to practice on him" you smile

"Daddy look!" Maya said holding up her doll to show off her handiwork, as Ari walked back in.

"Oh wow that's very good! Where did you learn that?" He asks, sending a smile your way already knowing the answer.

"(Y/N) taught me! Look she did my hair too!" Maya smiles showing off her hair.

"Very pretty, like a Princess" he smiles as he sits down next to you kissing your temple.

That evening once Maya had gone to bed, you and Ari were relaxed on the couch. The record player playing quietly in the corner. Ari was lying between your legs his back against your chest as he read. Your fingers running through his long locks as you thought back to your time with Maya. As you did an idea popped into your head.

Ari let out a surprised huff when he felt you tug on his hair. He goes to look up at you but you tell him to stay still.

"What are you doing?" He asks.

"Testing a theory" you answer focusing on your work.

A few moments later Ari felt you stop and remove your hands from his hair. He goes to run his hands through his hair but realises he can't. Sitting up he glances over his shoulders at you seeing you trying and failing to hold back a smile. He stands up from the couch and walks over to the mirror letting out a huff of a laugh when he sees that you'd braided his hair.

"You look very pretty" you smirk over at him.

"Why do I feel like this is going to be a regular occurrence now?" He sighs a smile playing on his lips as he put his hands on his hips.

"Shut up you know you love your hair being played with, this is just another way of doing that" you point out as he walks back over.

"You're lucky that I love you" he smiles leaning down and pressing his lips to yours.

From that day on it wasn't uncommon for Ari to answer the door to you, his hair in some form of braid. No matter how much he'd grumble you both knew how much he actually loved it. Especially since it was what brought his two favourite girls together.
