The Dean/Jensen and Arandi universe has been well accepted and I get many requests to find more ideas to bring these two together and I'm trying because I love them together just as much.
Dean and Sam are brothers in this one but not hunters.
In this story Arandi is older and worldlier and Dean is the innocent coming of age farm boy. Just saying that makes me blush.
Dean is barely touching eighteen and Arandi is twenty two.

Dean sighed heavily and shivered at the slight chill of the early morning air. He should be used to his before dawn chores but still they were daunting some days.
He could hear Sam humming not too far away doing his work as they both cleaned out stalls and fed the horses that their parents took in to board.
Dean loved the animals getting to know new arrivals and feeling proud when an horse that he took care of went on to bigger and better things, the hardest part being to say good bye.
Three new horses were coming in later in the day and he could hardly wait. His dad let them sleep in most Saturdays but not this one. They had to be ready to go because apparently the new horses belonged to important influential people and they were staying for dinner.
The owner insisting that anyone taking care of his animals were sitting down to dinner with him and his daughters. Dean sighed again unable to fathom just what they might have to ingest tonight since it was all being catered and they had to dress at their Sunday best but they had been promised to be able to sleep until noon the following day.
Dean could hardly wait, it was a rare opportunity so he was going to behave he never liked his dad being angry with him. He could beat a grizzly in temper when he got riled.
They were barely finishing up and washing their hands and face when the sun made its appearance and Dean stifled a yawn, while most people loved seeing the sun rise and it was beautiful on the ranch, he had seen more than enough sunrises for a lifetime.
"Breakfast is up!" Their mom yelled and Dean's stomach growled on cue and he took off running because he had to get what he could before his too big little brother ate everything in sight.
While Sam had the longer legs, Dean had the speed and he hit the front door first and his mom was already holding a plate piled high held out for him. He grabbed the plate and grabbed a handful more bacon with his mom swatting at him.
Sam at his heels kissed his mom on the cheek as he took his plate and Dean rolled his eyes as he stuffed his face.
Their dad walked in and Mary pulled another piled plate from the microwave.
"Thanks I always wonder if these two cyclones will leave me anything." John grinned.
Dean flexed his muscled arm. "Hey got to stay mean and lean and I need the protein."
"Careful with all the bacon Adonis or you're going to have to work out extra hard."
"Yeah you know because I'm the lazy one." Dean countered.
Dean could remember toddling around after his dad and Uncle Caleb watching them work hard every day anxious for the day he could help out.
There were times that he wished that he hadn't been so anxious since he had been put to work the minute that he could hold a shovel.
Sure hard work have given them the hard bodies and great strength but the same thing every day just got frustrating and he couldn't wait to go to college and get into sports medicine so that he could travel with a football team and see the world.
He was weeks away from turning eighteen, months away from graduating and he had dated a grand total of two girls.
He got lots of attention from the female gender but he barely had time to study let alone go steady and most girls wanted that.
He was about to become an adult and his experience with girls was downright pathetic.
He and Sam were both considered handsome and rugged and Dean had blushed out of his skin when he was voted most handsome and had to pose with the girl voted prettiest for yearbook pictures.
His mom had made the biggest deal about it and now he had to see himself in full color every time he walked into the living room because his mom had the picture made poster size.
He didn't see the big deal, he was Dean Winchester and that was about it.

The new horses had arrived and holy they were beautiful well cared for stallions. Dean had fallen in love with the solid black horse and spent over and hour getting him adjusted and groomed.
It was funny living on a horse ranch and he had had handled hundreds of horses but had never owned his own.
This would be the horse of his dreams.
"I think you're spending way too much time with the horses the way that you're mooning over that one." Sam laughed.
"Look at him Sam he's like midnight and stars." Dean sighed.
"Maybe you should ask him to the prom."
Dean shot his brother the death glare and before he could respond their mom was hollering for them to get ready.

Dean looked himself over in the mirror just as he heard the arrival of a vehicle in their drive.
He rushed to the window to see what their guest looked like but the huge hummer that they had arrived in blocked the view. He could see his mom and dad greeting the arrivals.
The people catering had arrived a couple of hours before and Dean's stomach had been growling with all the wonderful scents drifting through the house.
Once he heard the front door open and voices carrying through the house he headed to the door where Sam was also making his way to the stairs.
The tussled with each other trying to be the first down and they both stopped mid stairs when they laid eyes on the two girls standing just inside the door.
Dean's mouth went dry seeing the two gorgeous ladies but the one with the black hair and the blue eyes. Oh those eyes.
He thought he was going to tumble down the stairs when she turned to look at him and smiled.
Mary looked toward them. "Are you two going to stand there being rude or are you going to come say hello to our guests?"
Dean's legs suddenly felt very heavy but he drew himself up to full height and made his way down the stairs with Sam at his side.
"Jonathan these are my boys and also the main care givers of all the horses, my oldest Dean and this is Sam." John introduce them to the very important looking man.
Dean and Sam shook his hand.
"Well if you take care of my horses as wells as you do your sons I should have nothing to worry about." Jonathan chuckled indicating the height of the two towering boys.
"They both ate miracle grow when they were toddlers." Mary joked.
"Dean and Sam these are my daughters Arandi and Jade." Jonathan introduced.
Dean suddenly found himself face to face with the raven haired beauty as he extended his hand and was amazed at the small curtsy that she gave.
He had no idea women still did that but when she touched his hand he felt a flutter of warm butterflies flying through his stomach.
"Pleased to meet you." He said in his deep raspy voice.
Arandi smiled up at him. "Likewise Dean." She replied.
Dean was transfixed and dinner was going to kill him.

Arandi washed her hands as her sister waited for her.
"Well at least these boys are delicious." Jade said grinning.
"Dean's green eyes are pools of innocence." Arandi smiled. "Someone that hot shouldn't be so innocent."
He was hot when Arandi had seen him coming down the stairs the slacks he wore clinging to all the right places the bulge of his arms well defined through his shirt and this was going to be an interesting night.
Arandi sighed wondering just how much fun she could have in a few hours.
When they made their way back to the table Dean and Sam waited to seat them and Arandi smiled politely.
"Thank you." She said sweetly enjoying the bright blush that crept up Dean's neck but then she frowned when she noticed her dad in the foyer talking rather animatedly on the phone.
When he got to the table he looked angry.
"Is everything ok father?" Arandi asked.
"No it seems that you can't go home yet." He answered.
"But I thought…."
"Arandi you are going to have to stay somewhere for a while with your sister while I go take care of business." Jonathan interrupted.
"I want to be near the horses." Arandi said.
"John, Mary I will pay any price if you will allow my daughters to spend a couple of weeks here on your lovely ranch, I would prefer them here instead of some impersonal hotel."
"Of course Jonathan we have gorgeous cabins for people who want to get away for a bit." John answered.
"Will that work for you Arandi?"
She nodded.
"Alright then let me call Pablo to have your things brought here and then we can eat."
Arandi looked at her father uncomfortably knowing that if her dad was willing to leave her behind things weren't good.

Dean had thought getting through the night was going to be hard, now Arandi and Jade were staying for a while which meant that he had to see her every day especially since he was taking care of their horses.
His heart was already strained just seeing her sitting across from him and he was scolding himself for even daring to hope that someone like Arandi would want anything to do with her horse handler.
The dress she wore now probably cost more than Dean's entire wardrobe.
He could feel his face heating up every time that he looked up at her and she was watching him with a smile as if she was trying to read him and God he hoped that he wasn't that easy to read.
That a six foot one two hundred pound high school senior had had one sloppy wet kiss and that was his sex life.

Arandi watched Dean and enjoyed the way he tried to hide his face shyly, it intrigued her that someone so handsome, tall, and manly was so shy and reserved.
She couldn't help but smile at him because if she had to endure a couple of weeks on this ranch she was going to have some fun while she was there.
