Haha. Wrote this for a contest. The pairing we had was YuzuxJinta. I've never tried it before, but it's a cute pairing, so what the heck, ne?
Inspiration: I flipped open the dictionary with my eyes closed and put my finger on a word. That word just happened to be "animal cracker" (Two words, but whatever). So as you can imagine, this will have an animal cracker in it. Please review. I'd appreciate any feedback at all. ^^ Enjoy~!

"Thank you Jinta!" Yuzu cried happily as she rummaged through the bag of groceries.
Jinta felt a light blush creep up his face. "Yeah, whatever."
"Oh…" Yuzu said. "I don't remember getting these…" She held up a box of animal crackers.
Jinta's blush darkened. He was about to say something about how they'd fallen in when she'd bumped into a shelf, but she beat him to it.
"I love animal crackers!" she said. She practically radiated happiness. Suddenly she frowned slightly. "Oh…but they must've fallen in there by mistake when I bumped into that shelf..."
Jinta rubbed the back of his neck and looked away. "It's no big deal. I mean, if you really want'em, just keep'em. The storekeeper probably won't notice anyways-"
"Oh thank you so much Jinta!" she said, glowing with happiness again. She pulled him into a tight hug.
He blushed madly. "H-Hey, get off me ya stupid girly!" She held on for a few more seconds, ignoring his protests. Then she set her bag down and quickly opened the box of animal crackers.
Jinta watched her eat them one by one. She stared at each cracker for a long time before popping it in her mouth. Finally, he asked. "Why do ya stare at them like that? Why not just eat'em?"
She had pulled out a rabbit and was staring at it intently. "Well…" she said. "When I eat animal crackers, I try to look for people in them first! Like this bunny rabbit is Rukia-san!"
Jinta stared blankly at the small treat. "She doesn't look anything like that..."
Yuzu giggled. "Of course she isn't actually a bunny Jinta! You have to think about what the person is like and compare it to the animal!"
Jinta huffed quietly. "Seems like a lotta trouble to go to. Just eat it."
She popped the rabbit into her mouth and pulled another cracker out. She began to giggle uncontrollably. Jinta stretched up on his tiptoes, but she had her back to him and he couldn't quite see the animal.
"Jinta," she said.
"What is it??" he asked impatiently.
"This one looks like you!" she said and collapsed into giggles again. He looked at the lion-shaped cracker.
"WHAT?!? I don't look like that thing!" Jinta cried, utterly embarrassed and irritated.
Her giggling settled down finally. "Of course you do! See?" She pointed to the lion's spiky mane. He instantly felt the blood rise in his face again but he had no reply.
"You can have it if you want it..." she said, offering him the cat-shaped treat.
He was stunned for a moment. "Hey...why would I want a stupid cracker?!?"
She just giggled again and pressed said cracker into his hand. She smiled brightly. "Thanks for everything Jinta!" She kissed him lightly on the cheek and skipped off.
He stood numbly in the doorway for he didn't know how long. His hand slowly came up to touch his cheek.
A shadow fell over him and a hand waved in front of his face. "Oh my Jinta! Are you getting sick? Your face is as red as your hair~!"
Haha. Poor Jinta. Anyways, R&R please! I'd love to know how I'm doing! ^^
