I am! He'll probably try to actually keep a bug from Ilex and then get teleported away during 4th wall beforehand sobbu. He will be wherever people want him during the event. As for afterwards? I'll wait and see what everyone else has in mind plotting-wise but if there's nothing, he'll probably end up in Azalea Town regardless whether anyone else will be there to defeat Bugsy when Kushinada's levels are on par with Scizor.
Well, his opinion won't change as in... it's not like he's suddenly going to reciprocate those false feelings. At first he's probably not going to even trust Creeper, because comrade zone and it's YUMI. From his observations in the opposite gender (Hinata, Sakura, Ino... Tenten), he thinks he'd KNOW if she did. Kunoichi are so subtle with their feelings haha. Afterwards, he'd pay even more attention for any indications of a crush. In the chance there was (probably Creeper's fault still) he'd maybe... bring it up to ask her directly whether she does or not. Obito's already broken him in so it's not completely wtf this time. He's watched Hinata's feelings go unaddressed for years. B'( Regardless, he's going to let her know that he considers her a good friend.
His thoughts... have largely remained unchanged. He doesn't judge on first appearance, but he got the impression she was level headed and reliable enough. Now that they've gotten closer, he's realised just how dedicated to her friends she is. The XANA stuff he suspects must have been difficult to share, considering she's kept it a secret for so long. I think he is a lot more concerned now that he's aware that she seems to regularly deal with people missing/dying/clones out to kill you when she claims she's still a civillian. He doesn't buy it of course, but she's not exactly a soldier either.
OOPS I went an expanded on the SUGOI one but then I couldn't edit so copypasta re: glasses!-- I wouldn't say he's self conscious about it, despite his insistence to keep them on. The goggles are mostly there because it's a clan thing and Shino is proud to have been born as an Aburame and he's always worn them. The reasoning is probably because obscuring one's eyes make it difficult for an opponent, or anyone, to figure out what people are thinking ala Neji style. He doesn't really have a reason to take them off, so he doesn't. B| If you were close to him, he probably would let you take a peek at his eyes if you asked nicely. Most people have just never attempted to ask 'cause it's Shino. Too bad it will remain a ~mystery~ forever in canon.
IT IS A-OK!
