HEARTS

Arandi gasped seeing everything unfolding across the field as Dean was hit hard knocking him to the ground even harder, his head bouncing.

She saw him make the effort to get up and then fell forward again and lay still. She began to run not caring if she got in trouble.

She fell to her knees close by watching the worried coaches as some tended to Dean and the others tore the responsible party new ones.

Arandi watched as the field doctor carefully removed Dean's helmet and blood gushed from his nose. Her heart was racing, this couldn't be good.

The doctor called to Dean and he opened his eyes.

Dean heard his name being called and forced his eyes open. He wasn't hurt anywhere just his head buzzing and the nose bleed but he couldn't risk them keeping him from playing the last four games.

"Dean where does it hurt?"

"I'm good doc just got the wind knocked out of me." He lied playing the part to perfection since he knew quite well what it felt like to get the wind knocked out of his lungs.

They helped him to his feet and he stayed steady even though his head was pounding.

"No more practice for you young man you go home and rest." Coach Davis asserted. "I'll call your parents."

"No coach don't worry them about a nose bleed please, they have enough going on right now." Dean asked using the puppy dog eyes that worked miracles for Sam.

"Alright but you go straight home."

"Yes sir." Dean smiled fighting the urge to throw up with all the taste of blood in his mouth.

He saw Arandi watching him worriedly and talking to her coach who wasn't upset at all.

Arandi walked to Dean to make sure that he was ok and said that she would walk him to the car not make him wait for her.

He was still working on the nose bleed.

He grabbed his things opting to shower and change at home but he really wanted Arandi with him.

Still her first day as head cheerleader he wasn't going to pull her away even though he knew that she would follow.

She walked him to the car watching him closely.

"I really think that you should tell your mom" She said.

"No Arandi because she is going to freak out and try to keep me from playing." Dean groaned.

"Maybe you shouldn't be…." Arandi started.

Dean spun on her making her stumble backwards. "Are you fucking insane? This is my senior year I will never be able to play here again and we are going to the championships and you don't want me to play because of a fucking nose bleed!"

"It's more than a fucking nose bleed and you know it." She tossed back just as pissed as he was because she was worried about him.

"You wouldn't get it they need me and I'm not going to not play because of you or anyone."

"For someone who gets pissed when no one thinks of him in any other way but being the quarterback that seems to be the only thing you want to be right now!" She yelled.

Dean was furious, she was supposed to understand, she was supposed to stand behind him, have his back. "You can't get glory days back once they are gone so don't' expect me to just give them up!"

"You can't get your life back either when you drop dead of a fucking aneurism!"

"I don't need this shit or you fucking with my head" Dean growled throwing his stuff in the car and getting in half expecting her to get in after him but she was walking away and he knew she was crying.

He punched the steering wheel and then started the car and drove off.

She made it through practice with a plastered on fake ass smile not daring to let anyone know that Dean and her had had their first full on argument.

She was worried about him and wanted him safe how in the hell does that piss someone off.

She got that his final few games were very important to him but she was just worried about him and she was terrified that he had just broken up with her and just how did she face that since she was staying in his house.

She was going to call Korin for a ride but decided to walk she didn't mind the extra exercise or time to get her mind together.

She remembered to call Chris over to let him know Lily was into him and she thought that he might go into seizures but by the time she left they were both laughing and flirting shamelessly.

She grabbed her stuff and headed off bundled up hoping no one would recognize her.

Dean felt like shit the second he was on the road home. She cared about him didn't want him to die so let's put her in front of the firing squad.

His phone sounded and he hoped that it was her but it was Sam so he put it on speaker so he could keep driving.

"Hey dude all the parents are working late so our dinner is on us, want me to order pizza?"

"Sounds good." Dean said tiredly.

"Hey you alright?" Sam asked because if anyone knew Dean it was his little brother.

"Arandi and I got in an argument and I made her cry." Dean admitted.

"What could you two possibly argue about?" Sam sighed.

Dean gave him the altered version hoping his brother didn't know him that well.

"Let me get this straight you got mad because she was worried about you?" Sam scoffed. "I'll have the noose ready for when she gets home."

"Sam you'll understand once you're in your senior year." Dean defended.

"Dude you have issues but I know where you're coming from just don't fuck up a good thing man."

"I'm almost home lecture me then" Dean sighed.

"Where's Arandi?"

"She's still at practice and getting a ride from Korin."

Sam groaned. "You get mad at her yelled at her and left her behind, that won't remind of her of any other assholes in her life."

"It's not even close to the same besides she wanted me to go home and rest."

"It's whatever Dean see you in a few."

Dean hung up. When did relationships get so fucking complicated?

He was home in another five minutes and headed straight to shower and toss his uniform in the wash. He sat on the sofa to wait for Arandi and fell asleep.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Arandi ran most of the way home once she got cold and found Dean sound asleep on the sofa. She rushed upstairs where her sister told her there was pizza but she wanted to get clean and warm first.

Dean was still asleep as she made her way to the kitchen needing to clear her mind and cooking usually worked magic for her.

She pulled what she needed to make chocolate chip pancakes as she nibbled on a slice of pizza.

She slipped in her ear buds and turned on her music and got to work.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dean woke up to smell of chocolate and looked at the time, he had slept nearly two hours which meant Arandi should be home.

He walked to the kitchen and he saw her already in her night clothes singing softly to herself as she flipped the fluffiest pancakes Dean had ever seen.

He watched her seeing the sadness in her face and hating that he had put it there just because she cared and didn't want anything to happen to him.

He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her.

She stiffened up at first pulling her ear buds free but quickly relaxed as Dean kissed her neck. "I'm sorry I'm such a dick." He whispered.

"I'm sorry that you're a dick too." She sighed. "Nice try though I know you're just trying to get to my pancakes."

"Is it working?"

"I only made enough for me." She growled.

Dean eyed the two plates piled high. "Does this mean I have to become a chubby chaser?"

Arandi turned around smacking him hard in the arm. "Apparently your mom never taught you about talking about a woman's weight."

"Ow haven't I been abused enough today." Dean whined going into full on pout.

"You called me fat you're lucky that's all the abuse you got."

"The word was chubby which stands for cute hot unbelievably beautiful baby."

Arandi laughed. "You forgot the Y."

"No that's at the end of baby." He put his hands on her waist and lifted her easily onto the kitchen counter. "Light as a feather." He grinned getting against the counter between her legs and kissing her hard.

Arandi grabbed his head responding in kind, his hands moving over the skin of her back.

Dean couldn't help the thrust of his hips and moaned loud as Arandi hooked her feet behind his thighs pulling him forward more.

Things were getting hot fast and then the front door opened.

"What's that wonderful smell?" Mary called out.

"Smells as if my daughter is trying to fatten someone up." Beth answered.

When both women walked into the kitchen Dean and Arandi were sitting at the table eating pancakes.

Dean was never happier for the coverage of the table.

"Is this how you are going to eat in college?" Mary sighed.

"You have to ask my roommate that." Dean said seriously motioning to Arandi.

"There are no coed dorms." Mary said glaring daggers at her son.

"Were getting an apartment and she's in charge of the food and cleaning and I'm in charge of the cars, the lawn, and plumbing, oh and oiling the creaks in the bed." Dean grinned mischievously.

"Dean Winchester!" Mary scolded.

"What Mrs. Remington knows I'm trying to get under your skin mom."

Beth laughed having long ago gotten Dean's sense of humor but she doubted that he was kidding about the living arrangements. She would feel that her daughter was safer and she would for sure be happier.

"What's wrong with pizza and pancakes, they are part of the five P"s of the food pyramid." Dean continued. "Pizza, pancakes, popcorn, potato chips, and pasta."

"You forgot pop tarts." Arandi added.

"Would it still be a pyramid?" Dean asked.

"For you it's more like a circle." Arandi patted his belly.

"Now who's calling who fat?" Dean cried out in mock shock. "This is all muscle." He scoffed and then shoved another forkful of pancakes in his mouth.

"There is plenty for you if you like before Dean gets a hold of them" Arandi offered.

The women gladly ate the still warm pancakes before heading upstairs.

Dean and Arandi kissed quickly before heading upstairs to be good little children.

Dean and Sam played Madden until bed time both of them trying hard for the 'I don't spend all my time with my girlfriend 'card but they were both itching.

Though by the time that all the grownups were in bed Arandi and Jade were asleep so with heavy sighs the boys headed to bed also.

Dean really didn't think he would be able to fall asleep but he did wishing that what had happened in the kitchen could have gone further.

It didn't surprise him at all when he was wide awake close to four in the morning so he sat down in his recliner to watch TV.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Arandi sat up breathing hard clutching at her blanket.

"Another nightmare?" Jade said from the dark.

"Yeah." Arandi lied.

"Go see if he's awake I won't tell." Jade yawned.

Arandi nodded although her sister couldn't see her and she headed quietly out of their room relieved to see lights dancing under Dean's door which meant he had the TV on.

She headed to the bathroom first to freshen up and catch her breath. Her dream had not been a nightmare at all but a very hot dream with Dean finishing up what they started in the kitchen only in her dream they had gone all the way.

The dream had been hot enough to make her crave Dean's touch and she wanted that climax again so badly she thought it was going to burn a hole in her brain.

'So this is what it feels like to be horny?' she thought and nearly laughed out loud.

She needed Dean and she hoped he was up for it.

She headed to his room going in quietly and he turned smiling when he saw her but she hardly gave him a second to say a word before she straddled his lap and began to kiss him hungrily.

"Did you miss me?" He moaned into her lips.

Her response was to grind against him making him gasp at the delicious friction that it caused.

"Fuck." He hissed and grasped her hips to align them better and she was moaning. "Shhh baby, man you're so beautiful like this." He pulled her shirt low just so that he could kiss on the mounds of her breasts not going further yet. He couldn't resist the urge to leave his mark and he sucked hungrily.

Arandi threw her head back saying his name at the sensation filling her body as she moved against Dean's hardness it didn't take long for her to feel it bubbling over and she buried her face in Dean's neck to muffle the sounds of pleasure.

Dean went over seconds later feeling her pleasure tremble through her and laughing at the way she had to hide against his neck to keep from waking the house with her moans not that Dean was any quieter by just biting his lip as he surrendered to the orgasmic high.

They both sat panting.

"Whatever got into you do it more often." He breathed.

"You were sneaking around in my dreams making me want you so bad." She murmured against his neck.

If her dreams were anything like his he totally understood the heat.

"I can't believe we just did that with our parents just doors away." She said looking towards the door.

He was suddenly very sleepy but they kissed lazily until she saw how tired he looked and they separated reluctantly till daylight.

"Dean wake up son, your alarm went off like half an hour ago." John said as he shook his son.

Dean made no response and John looked at him worriedly, his son had never been a heavy sleeper.

"Dean!" John yelled in his face.

Dean's eyes fluttered slightly.

Mary walked in then wondering why her husband was yelling at Dean, everyone else was downstairs ready.

"I can't wake him up =." John said his voice high pitched.

Mary frowned sitting on the edge of the bed, she felt Dean's head and although a bit warm nothing to be alarmed about. She tapped Dean's face calling his name.

Finally Dean opened his eyes. "What the hell?" He groused.

"Dean did you take something?" Mary asked checking his eyes for any signs.

"No mom I had trouble sleeping and I didn't fall asleep until nearly five." He yawned.

Mary could see nothing to indicate different. "Well you missed your alarm and everyone is waiting downstairs."

"Oh crap all be down in ten." He yelled running for the bathroom for a quick shower. He was glad his nose waited till then to start bleeding.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

They pulled into Dean's usual parking space and Sam and Jade were off and running.

Dean got out of the car slowly and leaned back sitting on the front of the hood motioning Arandi to join him.

He pulled her close for a quick kiss then took her hand and slipped his senior ring on her left hand middle finger because it was too big for her other fingers.

"I want you to wear this all the time because you're mine. He murmured kissing her knuckles.

Arandi blushed hard flabbergasted.

Dean pulled her senior ring off and pulled a chain out of his jacket pocket slipping the ring onto the chain and then had her put it around his neck.

"And I'm going to wear your ring because I'm yours." He whispered pulling her close.

Arandi knew he couldn't wear in on his fingers, not even his pinky because his hands were not small.

"When did you become the romantic?" Arandi sighed.

"When I met the lady worth romancing." He answered smoothly.

Arandi blushed and they kissed sweetly.

She looked behind Dean seeing Chris coming up them holding hands with Lily.

"I forgot to mention last night that Chris has some news for you." Arandi laughed.

Dean cocked an eyebrow and then turned to look his eyes going wide at the sight.

Lily was blushing now. "I'm really very sorry Dean for that first day and the way I introduced myself to you."

"It's all good." He mumbled.

Chris was smiling so big his face was in danger of exploding.

They began to walk to class and Dean leaned close to his best friend.

"Think you're ever going to have a girlfriend I haven't kissed first?"

Chris turned bright red as Dean walked away laughing.

"Mr. Winchester did I wake you?" Mrs. Skylar asked nearly in Dean's face.

Dean looked at her confused. "Sorry ma'am I'm not feeling a hundred percent today."

"Do you need to go to the nurse?" Mrs. Skylar asked suddenly concerned.

"No ma'am." He sighed.

"Alright then I'll ask someone else this question." She went on with her class.

Stony leaned in behind Dean. "Dude what the hell are you taking you like completely zoned out."

"I'm not getting enough sleep I guess." Dean yawned.

"What's keeping you awake?"

Dean grinned devilishly. "A lap full of hot sexy girlfriend."

"You would brag about it you jerk." Stony chuckled.

Dean turned back to face the front frowning even he was beginning to wonder what the hell was going on with him.

They still had four games and he wasn't going to let anything or anybody ruin his last year with the beasts.

This story took off in a whole different direction than I first planned, it was just supposed to be a high school popular jock and popular girl falling in love but the 'you must hurt Dean' plot bunny attacked and I was helpless to defend myself.

Thanks for reading!
