Ino's the only one allowed to steal Shino's sunglasses.

Sunglasses

The rookie nine was partying in Kiba's new place. There were no official couples, the girls just traded off boys since they were outnumbered. Ino went inside to get a drink and when she got back outside she noticed Shino leaning against one of the walls. Her mischievous mind came up with a master plan.

The loud blond girl continued dancing her way to where everyone else was, but on the way she took Shino's sunglasses off and put them on her face. Sakura laughed at her best friend.

"I see you've found someone to flirt with!" Lee twirled around the pink haired girl before she began dancing with Naruto.

Ino shrugged at the girl as she started dancing with Kiba, "Why not? That's what boys are for!"

The two laughed as they continued to dance. Tenten was now dancing with Lee, Hinata was dancing with Chouji, Shikamaru and Temari danced with each other as well. Sakura and Ino threw off their own partners and began dancing with each other instead. The other girls joined in to make a small circle.

"Is that Shino's sunglasses?" Hinata giggled.

Temari gave the blond girl a smirk, "I've never seen him let anyone else wear them before. Ha!"

"That's because he doesn't let anyone touch them. He usually gets angry about it…" Tenten added.

Sakura rolled her eyes, "Ino's not just any regular person. If it's her, then I'm not surprised that he let her take them."

"Awe, thanks forehead!"

"Of course," Sakura continued, "If a pig like you were trying to touch my things I really wouldn't want them back."

Ino stopped dancing to glare at her best friend, "You want to go forehead!"

"Name the place and time!"

Hinata gave a gasp, "Please s-stop you two!"

Tenten and Temari rolled their eyes at the two dramatic girls and went to find their male dance partners.

A slow song started on the CD player. Ino went to sit down as she saw Hinata and Kiba dance as well as Tenten and Lee, Temari and Shikamaru, and Naruto and Sakura. There was no one for her to really dance with, besides Chouji, so the loud blond female sat out.

A hand came out of nowhere. It extended her as if offering to dance. Ino's eyes wandered up the arm to stop in the other person's eyes.

"You're asking me to dance, Shino?" She tilted her head, but didn't accept.

The boy stayed silent for a moment before taking Ino's hand and pulling her to the dance floor. "This is the only way I'll get my sunglasses back safely."

The loud girl laughed evilly when she thought about the last time Shino took back his sunglasses without her permission. She had ended up pouring honey all over him, don't ask.

Ino placed her hands behind Shino's neck and he placed his arms on her waist. It wasn't a magical or romantic dance, but she was happy that she wasn't left out this time. Ino watched the Aburame through his sunglasses. She was happy that she could see his eyes and he couldn't see hers since the blond female had a hard time hiding her emotions.

"Ooh! I think I know who Ino-pig's next boyfriend is going to be!" After hearing Sakura's taunt Ino's face lit up like fire.

"Shut it Forehead, or I'll shut it for you!"

The pink haired girl laughed as the loud blond girl shook her fist. Sakura ignored her. "So Shino, why is it that Ino gets to take your sunglasses but no one else can?"

"…" The pink haired girl was disappointed at his lack of an answer and was swooped away to the other side of the dance floor to escape Ino's wrath.

The loud blond girl turned back to Shino, only to see a faint blush on his cheeks. She blushed as well. "Sorry about her, she's an idiot!" The last part was spoken loudly in the direction of the pink haired girl. "I know that there's no specific reason that you let me wear them."

"…It's alright. There actually is a reason that I let you where my sunglasses…"

"What is it?" Ino gave him an extremely confused look. Shino had turned another unbelievable shade of red. The two stopped dancing, but neither walked away from one another. The bug lover turned in a direction away from the dancers and Ino followed him. Ino was about to get impatient and yell at the boy, but he stopped to turn to face her. They were away from the music and people.

"What is it Shino?"

The silent boy looked towards the sky and Ino copied him. "Wow, I've never seen so many fireflies!"

"Do you remember…the mission we went on alone together and almost ended up dying because of the Uchiha traitor?"

Ino's gaze dropped to the ground. She remembered the mission well. They were spying on Orochimaru and because of her stupidity, Sasuke found out who they were. That was the last day that Ino had ever stated that she loved the traitor. Hatred for the Uchiha's single-mindedness replaced whatever feelings she had for him. It was also the day she had first stolen Shino's sunglasses. Ino had wanted to transfer her feelings to someone else, so she had started flirting with the bug lover.

"Yes," Ino replied slowly before she smiled. "You have a crush on me, don't you Shino?"

"You are very full of yourself, aren't you Ino?" Was Shino's reply.

She laughed. "That's confidence, Shino!" She gave him a kiss on the cheek and handed back his sunglasses. Shino adjusted them to his eyes. The blond female could no longer see the emotions that had crossed his face earlier. The sunglasses had seemed to give the silent boy back his emotionless mask.

They sat together in the grass and continued to watch the fireflies. Ino had begun to feel sleepy, so she placed her head on Shino's shoulder and fell asleep. The silent boy picked her up and carried her to her home, where her bedroom window was always unlocked, so her father couldn't meet any of her male friends. Shino placed her on the bed before he jumped out the window. He left a parting sentence.

"Don't forget that we have a mission tomorrow, Ino."

"Yeah, yeah," the tired girl replied as she slipped under her covers to sleep.

Ino yawned as Shino stood silent to wait for Tsunade's orders.

"You're here early, Ino. Did Shikamaru force you out of bed to be on time?" Tsunade gave the blond girl a smirk.

"No," She replied, "Sakura did."

"Ha! Even better!" Tsunade got down to business. "This isn't a big mission. I just need you to oversee Shikamaru when he goes to get the Mist to sign a peace agreement. It'll be quick, just one day."

The two nodded and went on their way. The mission was quick, they were lucky that no one tried to pull anything. Shikamaru went ahead with Temari and Shino and Ino traveled alone.

Tsunade waved them off after they told her how simple the mission was and Ino complained about not getting to fight, even once.

Shino and Ino were heading out of the Hokage Tower when he stopped her. The silent boy had not said anything; he hadn't pulled her into an intimate kiss or extended a hand to stop her. All Shino had done was take off his glasses and offer them to Ino. She looked into his eyes. The blond female knew what he was saying.

Be with me.

Ino didn't hesitate to grab the sunglasses from the bug lover. She pushed them onto her face with a wide smile before she launched herself on his arm.

"Let's go around town, okay?" Ino held his hand.

"…" He didn't reply, but she didn't need one.

It looks like Forehead-girl was right. Shino is my next boyfriend.

Many people gawked or cheered the couple as they traveled through Konoha. At one point, they saw Kiba and heard him whining about not getting Ino first, and Hinata was smiling brightly at them. Shino was smiling under his coat, though no one could see it. Ino laughed freely and they stopped to have ramen with Sakura and Naruto.

Sakura teased her merciless, but Ino didn't care. At last, it was sunset and Shino was standing alone with Ino at one of the many hills of Konoha. He had his arm wrapped around her waist and she was hugging him as they watched the sun disappear.

"This was perfect." Ino sighed, "It's so strange that it started over me annoying you by stealing your sunglasses."

Shino gave a sigh, as if to agree with her. Ino pulled his sunglasses off her face and played with them. The couple met each other's eyes. Shino leaned down and gave her a kiss on the lips.

It was just like happily ever after.
