SHADOWS IN THE LIGHT

Dean was antsy as all hell. He had had no chance to be alone with Arandi for days and the times that he had been able to talk to her she seemed to be a million miles away.

The prom was a little over a week away and he was praying hard that she wasn't trying to get out of going with him.

He felt like he wasn't getting enough oxygen not being able to touch her.

"Dean concentrate on what the hell you're doing before you lose fingers." Emery yelled at him.

Dean jumped as he saw that Emery wasn't kidding his fingers mere inches from the circular saw.

"I'm going to get some air." Dean huffed.

He stepped outside of the barn relishing the cool breeze that fell over his hot skin.

Arandi was practicing with Winchester again and they weren't missing a beat now. She looked gorgeous on the stream of black liquid silk and he felt his heart skip. He wanted her so bad and not just in that way, he wanted her she was the one and maybe it was teen nonsense but he couldn't let her slip away without at least speaking his mind right?

Fuck easier said than done.

"Dude you stare any harder and you're going to have an aneurism." Sam said at Dean's side.

"Shut up." Dean grumbled.

Arandi dismounted from Winchester and bent to check his left front hoof.

Dean saw her frown and he rushed over.

"What's wrong?"

"Looks like he has something caught up under the shoe." Arandi answered.

Dean stepped behind her had every room to get beside her but what the hell right? He leaned in over her shoulder to look.

"I can take care of that right away." He said holding his hands over hers.

He felt her shudder and he could see Sam watching with a raised eyebrow.

One soft kiss against her neck then he led Winchester away with a smug feeling of satisfaction when he heard Arandi sigh behind him.

Winchester taken care of and eating happily, Dean made his way out of the barn toward the house but stopped looking toward the cabin.

Arandi was outside on her phone but she motioned for him to come over so he made his way trying not to look too thrilled.

She ended the call and kissed him on the cheek. "Come on I need to make sure your suit fits."

Good she wasn't backing out.

She led him in the cabin and handed him a garment bag and pushed him towards the bathroom.

"I'm a bit dirty I'm going to wash off quick alright." He drawled.

"Sure have at it cowboy."

He stripped down and jumped in the shower to wash off the sweat and grime.

It wasn't till he got out that he realized he didn't want to put his boxers back on so he stared at the suit and shrugged.

He dried himself thoroughly and slipped into the suit, the feel of it against his skin was wonderful and when he looked in the mirror he didn't mind one bit how he looked in the black from head to toe outfit.

"Hey no whacking off in my shower." Arandi called out.

Dean stepped out of the bathroom then and Arandi stared at him.

"Well you do clean up nice." She hummed.

"This really isn't me." He squirmed.

"It's you mmm it's all you." She stepped up to him smoothing everything down.

She coaxed him to spread her legs so that she could make sure everything fit nice and cozy where it mattered.

Dean thought he was going to hyperventilate when Arandi dropped to her knees and ran her hands up his thighs.

"I'm going to have to take it in just a bit." She whispered as she hotly lifted his sac. "Commando huh?" She grinned slyly.

"Arandi…" He squeaked as she unzipped him and his heavy cock fell out.

"Hmm yeah the suit looks great on you." She murmured flicking her tongue over the tip.

Dean moaned dropping his head back but quickly righted himself, he didn't want to miss a thing.

She took him completely in and the sight was all it took to set him off in shocking thrums of pleasure and he moaned her name, his fingers caught up in her hair.

Pulses of pleasure hit him again as Arandi pulled off slowly swallowing his release and flicking her tongue to clean him up.

He had no words, his brain sucked out of him, had no idea how he was even standing.

She stood up a soft kiss on the corner of his mouth and she directed him back to the bathroom.

Back in his own clothes minus boxers still, he headed back to Arandi with the suit back nice and neat in the bag.

She took it and laid it across the bed and Dean stepped in behind her kissing her neck.

"Thank you for this, all of it."

"My pleasure."

Heat was spreading through him fast and hard again. He couldn't risk his parents catching him having sex but oh the temptation.

"Dean! Fuck Dean help me!" Sam screamed from the barn.

Dean on instant alert when it came to his baby brother spun and ran out the door skidding onto the porch and jumping clear.

"Sammy!" Dean yelled as he cleared the fence.

"Dean." Sam was crammed into the corner of a stall while the two horses that they had had problems with earlier were rearing against each other again inches from Sam.

Sam was going to get crushed and Dean could see that he was already hurt.

Dean frantically yanked on the horse closest to him and the horse spun shoving him into the wall.

Dean grunted in pain but pushed himself up getting in between the horses even though he knew better. He pulled on the second horse determined to get it away from Sam even if it meant getting hurt himself.

A fiery pain shot through his head but all he could think about was Sam.

He managed to pull the horse forward. "Sammy roll out now!"

Sam crawled forward until he was able to roll under into the next empty stall. "Get out of the way Dean I'm out." Sam groaned hugging his injured arm to himself.

Dean threw himself out of the way and scrambled towards Sam and the safety of the stall.

Arandi had run to get John and Emery and they now tore into the barn each grabbing a horse and separating them.

Dean was in front of Sam as if still shielding him and Sam was holding onto his brother like a lifeline with his good arm.

The horses finally separated Dean turned on his knees to face his brother. "Sammy are you ok?"

"I think I broke my arm but you saved me fuck Dean you saved me." Sam breathed

Dean though was running his hands gingerly over Sam's torso making sure that Sam wasn't hiding anything.

"Dean your hurt." Sam brushed blood from his brother's forehead.

"I'm good Sammy we need to get you help." He stood up as John and Mary rushed into the stall.

Arandi stood on the outside looking scared.

Dean moved towards her so that his parents could walk Sam out of the stall.

"Dean you're hurt." His mom said.

"Sammy mom, take care of him first." Dean insisted.

"Do you always have to be such a hero?" Arandi murmured caressing his face.

"That's my little brother, my job to take care of the pain in my ass." Dean said fondly. He blinked hard because suddenly there were two Arandi's which wasn't a bad thing but yeah not normal.

"Dean hey what's wrong?" Arandi asked.

"Just a little fuzzy." He whispered.

"Come on we need to go with your parents." Arandi coaxed.

Dean stumbled and grabbed the wall as the world tilted and his stomach lurched. "Not feeling so hot." He slurred crashing to his knees.

Arandi held him up as best as she could calling for help.

Arandi was close to her sister would give her life for her in a breath but the closeness of Dean and Sam was amazing. She had watched them often the way they got along and the way they watched out for each other.

Especially Dean watching Sam, he loved his little brother more than anything it seemed. He would make a great father some day and it shocked even her the intense sadness and emptiness that she felt that she wouldn't be the one sharing that with Dean.

Every moment with him brought new feelings and desires she had only dreamed of before.

Seeing him in the suit that she had chosen for him was just wow he looked way hotter than a teen boy had the right too and she wanted him from head to toe she wanted him.

She had seen his tented pants at just her touch and she had given him relief planning on getting a good night later. Only it didn't work out that way.

Sam's cry for help had Dean moving so fast Arandi was shocked as he cleared the porch jumping the fence with barely a touch and he was in the barn.

Arandi had taken off in a dead run to get help but she could see Dean putting himself in harm's way to save his brother, had gasped when Dean was thrown full force into the wall but was up as if it was nothing.

She had never seen someone put himself in front of other's the way Dean did especially people he loved.

Arandi's heart clenched painfully thinking Dean was going to die saving his brother and she ran back to the barn fully intent of putting herself in front of him without a thought.

But somehow Dean had gotten the upper hand getting Sam out of harm's way and was making sure that his brother was in one piece covering him with his body as he watched his dad and Emery move the horses apart.

Then he was making sure that his Sam wasn't more hurt than he was even with blood running down the side of his head.

She wondered if Dean knew how rare he was, a man of such solid integrity and courageousness that was far, far, far, and in between these days.

She was in so fucking deep.

Dean stumbled to her with that beautiful smile on her wanting Sam to be taken care of first but he was hurt. She guessed the adrenalin still pumping through him was pushing the pain aside.

"Do you always have to be such a hero?"

"That's my little brother, my job to take care of my pain in the ass."

She knew Dean was hurt as he slurred the words blinking hard saying he was feeling fuzzy and then he was on his knees, she did her best to hold him up calling for help and Sam was there grimacing in pain from his arm but determined to help his brother now.

"I knew he was hurt bad I knew it." Sam growled kneeling behind Dean so that Dean could fall back against him.

"You two are going to be the death of me." Mary fretted.

Arandi knew exactly how she felt.

"You should go back to the cabin and rest dear." Mary said to Arandi.

"No thank you Mrs. Winchester I'd rather wait with you please." She couldn't leave she'd go nuts back at the cabin not knowing.

Dean had not regained consciousness the entire trip to the hospital.

They had been there for hours just waiting. Sam's arm was already set and in one of the new fancy arm braces instead of a cast and happily drugged.

John finally came out. "He's fine just got his bell rung and is going to have a hell of a headache in the morning some ugly bruises to his back and ribs but nothing he hasn't had before the stubborn…." John sighed in obvious relief.

"Dean is awesome." Sam chimed in.

"Yeah we know Sam." Mary smiled.

"Isn't he awesome Arandi?" Sam turned glassy eyes to her.

"Yes, Sam he is." Arandi said feeling parents scrutinizing eyes on her.

"He really likes you." Sam giggled.

"Ok Sam time for you to go to sleep." Dean said as he was rolled out in a wheelchair.

"Dean!" Sam called excitedly. "You know you're awesome."

"So I've been told." Dean grimaced, he hadn't been as lucky as Sam to get the good stuff because he had a head injury.

Seeing Arandi there waiting for him concerned made him feel good well sort of right now not much felt good.

With Sam singing terribly off key they headed home.

Arandi stared out the window of her cabin towards the house wondering how Dean was doing.

She had visited him the day before a couple of times but he had been too tired to stay awake long.

Both he and Sam had been kept home from school for the day and she had seen Mary and John leaving earlier.

She debated on whether or not to bother going to see him but the decision was made for her when she heard the knock at her door.

Dean leaned against the door frame with a gorgeous half smile. "I'm so bored, I'm doing fine but my mom is impossible."

"She worries about you as any mother should."

"Does your mom worry about you?"

"My mom died when I was twelve." Arandi replied sadly.

"Oh Arandi I'm sorry I didn't mean to sound so callous." He said as he pulled her into a hug.

"You didn't know Dean."

"That's something I should know."

"There are too many things that we don't know about each other."

"I want to learn everything that there is about you." He whispered against her ear as he kissed into her neck.

"Dean you shouldn't really be doing this." Arandi tried to push him back.

"I need you please." He whimpered laying a look on her under his exaggeratingly long lashes that was going to get him anything he wanted for the rest of his life. "Please."

She was tougher than this but she gave in because that look was her fucking kryptonite.

They made sweet delicious slow love until they were spent.

They lay tangled up in each other and Arandi was sure she could be like this with Dean forever.

"I love you." Dean whispered to her.

Her heart pumped fast, the words connecting solidly and they meant so much and she wanted nothing more than to say them back.

She lifted her face to look into his eyes but Dean was sound asleep having professed his love in his dreams.

"I love you too." She whispered back and then cried herself to sleep in his arms.
