It was close to the New Year, which meant that is was getting close to Shikamaru and Temari's wedding!  They had decided on a winter wedding, hoping for a snowy affair on their special day.
But for tonight, they were in two separate cabins on the east side of the village, having bachelor/ bachelorette parties for the bride and groom.  They cabins weren't far from each other, and while the boys were having a raucous, loud time, the girls were even louder.  They were screaming and their music was loud. Kiba was having a great time with Shino and his friends, but he did miss Tamaki, knowing that she was so close, and he couldn't see her until morning.    They had quickly become serious in their relationship.
He was especially missing her when the guys started to fall asleep, passing out one by one on the bunks.  He was still awake, missing his opportunity to get a bed, so be opened his sleeping bag and nestled in by the hearth, allowing his mind to wander as he quickly became the only one awake.  Shino had missed the opportunity for a bunk as well, nestling in not far away on the floor.  It was better by the hearth: at least it was warm.
However, Kiba awoke to someone sneaking into the guys' cabin.  He almost said something until he realized that they were looking for someone.  Bending down next to Shino, the figure crawled under the blanket with him.  He heard Shino chuckle quietly.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
"I just really wanted to see you."
Ino.  She giggled softly before kissing him.  Everyone else still seemed to be asleep as Shino sat up quietly and stripped his jacket off, helping Ino slide it on.  He put the hood up over her short hair and kissed her through the face hole.  She reached a sleeved hand up and touched his face gently.  He unzipped the sleeping bag and helped her in, laying down beside her.  They whispered softly to each other.
"I can go-"
"No, I told them you might come by.  It's fine.  Everyone knows you're still healing."
"Thanks, Shino-kun."
The dim hearth light that caught them showed that the jacketed Ino was laying on top of Shino, kissing him though the hood hole.  Kiba listened to her gentle  words to his friend.
"I love you..."
"I love you, too, my Wild Flower."
Ino giggled softly and sweetly.  As skeptical as Kiba had been at first, they really were good for each other.  Shino needed someone who was crazy about him, and it appeared that Ino needed his stability and steadfastness.  Shino didn't change much, and that was one thing Kiba could say about his best friend.  He listened to them whisper for a few more minutes as he fell asleep.

"I love you, my Darling."
Ino's kisses were warm on his face as she giggled though the hood hole of his jacket.  He knew she'd be over: it was a cold winter, and she was still thin.  And he was pleased that she came to see him.  He loved being her rock, and her comfort.  He slid his arms under her jacket, holding her warm body against his.
"I love you, Ino.  You're everything to me."
He meant it.  He knew he loved her last summer, but over the autumn and cold winter, she had completely stolen his heart, now holding it in her gentle hands.
"You're my everything, too.  Maybe soon, this could be our bachelor/bachelorette party."
He felt himself blush deeply.
"Kids, bachelor parties... I love when you talk about the future, Ino."
"I can't wait to be the Bug Queen, my King."
He let out a little laugh, stifling it quickly.  She pouted playfully.
"I mean it!  You brought me into your home, and I fell in love with you and Shibi and your clan.  How could I not?  You're all so wonderful... especially you, my King..."
"As soon as the time is right, I'll ask you to be my wife.  You know that.  I just want to give you the fairy tale proposal that you deserve."
He felt her shiver as he held her closer, continuing.
"Who wouldn't want you as a wife?  You're beautiful, inside and out.  You're kind and talented.  You have hobbies.  You follow your dreams.  And you love harder than anyone I've ever met."
He rolled her to the side, cushioning her head with his bicep.  He could see her dimly lit face in the hearth light, completely smitten.
"What kind of ring would you like, Ino?"
"Whatever you think is fitting."
He'd figure it out.  If she wanted to be an Aburame, then he'd make her an Aburame.  She spoke gently, sounding shaky.
"How soon would you like to marry?"
"Whenever you'd like, but, personally, I'd like to do it when the wildflowers are in bloom and the fireflies are in season.  So maybe June?  But it doesn't have to be this June-"
She kissed him gently, quieting him.
"It can be, if you want it to be.  I'm ready to be your wife, if you're ready to have me."
He kissed her forehead.
"I've been ready.  I'll give you a real proposal soon and we can get things started."
"Oh god, Shino..."
She slid a leg over his hip, pulling herself in closer.  She was beautiful, and absolutely perfect.  They just got each other, and she loved and embraced his quirks.  She even had some of her own, with her plants and flowers.
And fuck... she really loved him.
He was in awe as she pulled his erection out of his pajama pants and pulled her pajama pants off of one leg, which was a tight squeeze with two people in a single sleeping bag.  Sliding on top of him, she slid him inside of her, moving on him slowly in the sleeping bag.  Her movements were slow and delicious, and it felt dangerous, making love to his soulmate as his friends slept nearby.  She was whispering in his ear.
"Husband... my soon-to-be-husband... the future father of my children... I'm so glad I found you... and you've been so close all along..."
Shino slid his hands down to her ass, squeezing her and moving her gently. She was gaining weight, and every pound felt so good on top of him.  Her once bony body was filling out beautifully.  He was so proud of her.
Kissing her deeply, he let her go and surrendered himself to her as she breathed excitedly in his ear.
"Breed me..."
"Breed yourself on me..."
She clutched under his shoulders tighter, gripping his shirt and back.  He knew he'd explode when she did.  And then, she buried her face in his chest, screaming silently.
"Oh, Ino..."
Gripping her ass again, he pulled her in and filled her void with his tangible love, trying not to make a sound.  And all too soon, it was over.  She laid against his chest, twitching.  He was panting quietly on the tatami mat floor, trying to breathe deeply and quietly.  Pulling himself out of her he unzipped the sleeping bag discreetly, helping her pull her fuzzy pajama pants back on, making sure she didn't get cold.
"I love you.  I love you so much, Shino-kun... you're so warm inside of me..."
She was so precious!  He pillowed her head with his arm again, pulling her in and zipping them back up.  With his coat around her, she looked comfortable.
"Sleep, Baby.  Get some rest."
She yawned and nuzzled her face into his chest.  He held her tightly as he watched her fall asleep.  He had just had sex with the most beautiful girl in the world in a sleeping bag amongst his friends.  He wanted to laugh a little, but instead he kissed her forehead tenderly.  He had the best woman in the world.  His Bug Queen.
