Misfits One Shot

Living with your girlfriend Alisha had many challenges that went further than the normal issues that could come with a relationship. As with most people in the local area, Alisha had gained powers from the storm but hers had caused more problems for her than helped since she had gained them. She was no longer able to touch anyone, any form of skin to skin contact meant that the person that she touched would become uncontrollably lustful towards her and it wouldn't end well for her or the other person.

It was hard to no longer be able to touch your girlfriend, constantly living on edge about accidentally brushing arms with her and ending up losing your mind. You tried to make it work as you loved her. You wore long sleeves and no longer shared a bed; you constantly announced your whereabouts in your home and removed any physical intimacy from your relationship. It wasn't ideal but it worked, even if you longed for one last kiss.

Things only became harder when Christmas came around and you realised you couldn't have your annual kiss under the mistletoe. When you found the mistletoe amongst your decorations, you felt your heart sink but by the time you had finished decorating the house, you had come up with an idea.

You hung the mistletoe in the doorway of the living room and set your plan into action.

"'Lisha can you come to the living room for a moment," you called out.

"What?" She said in response.

You heard her footsteps until she came into your view, pausing in the doorway. You pointed up to above her head and she let her gaze followed.

"No, Y/N," she frowned. "You know we can't kiss under the mistletoe; I can't do that to you."

"I know," you said to reassure her. "I'd never want to make you uncomfortable, but I have an idea to maybe get our under the mistletoe kiss."

Alisha cocked an eyebrow at you. "There is no work around to my power."

You shrugged your shoulders, pulling a roll of clingfilm from behind your back, extending a length in front of your face.

"It might be a little odd but it's worth a shot."

She laughed at you as you held up the clingfilm to your face so the length covered your face. With the protection between you, you begun to pull overdramatic kissy faces at your girlfriend gaining a laugh. Alisha was humoured by your expressions but took the leap and leaned in to kiss you. Even with plastic between you, it felt perfect for you to be able to kiss one another for the first time in too long.
