Summary
Shino has a perfectly good life serving his clan, going on missions, settling into his new apartment, and spending time with his closest friend. And if he's had to work increasingly hard not to notice certain things about that friend, so what? It's not like Kiba will ever feel anything in return, so it doesn't matter. It's fine. He's fine. This is fine. It's fine.
Even if it wasn't fine, it's certainly not going to work itself out with a stupid party game. That would be ridiculous.

Summary
Shino and Kiba have been together a few months, and Shino's tasted happiness for the first time in his life. But no matter how good things are, there are still outside problems that can threaten their relationship, things Shino should probably worry much more about. But it's fine. They're fine. This is fine. It's fine.
And even if it's not fine, ignoring the outside problems will somehow make them go away, right? Yes, that is an airtight plan.

Summary
After a tumultuous childhood and an unfortunate avoidance of any accountability, Neji is forced to confront his greatest regret head on. It's about as uncomfortable as he could have predicted.
Meanwhile, Hinata is just feeling as though she's found her place in the world when the past comes back around to harass her, dredging up old feelings and forcing her to decide just how much of her life she wants to let the clan run. Kiba doesn't make that any easier by taking things very, very personally.

With no one who could possibly understand what he's going through, Kiba has no one to talk to and no one to help him deal with his relationship issues. Until he remembers there is someone who could understand what he's going through, because they've been through something similar.
And why wouldn't Iruka appreciate having ancient history dredged up by a former student with no warning?
