Day 12: this is Spooky - Really?

 "Ohhh, you are so adorable! Katsuki, why didn't you tell me she's a beauty? I know you sent me a photo, but she's a bombshell!!" Mitsuki said, squeezing Kokoro tightly, squeezing the air right out of her. "So...I see you are wearing the sweater that I made for you? How do you like it?"

Kokoro inhaled deep once she was released from Mrs. Bakugou's grip, not used to the parental affection. "I-It's good, I love it, the voodoo doll was a gorgeous touch." Looking around the living room, she noticed some old style dolls. Some so ancient that the layer of 'skin' was peeling off. "Okay...this is spooky..."

Katsuki looked at them, not bothered by them. "Really? They are just dolls, old, ugly ass dolls, but they are just dolls."

Kokoro pointed at them, looking at him disbelievingly. "Do you not see the irony? You have dolls in your household, and I turn people into dolls." Mrs Bakugou looked at her in surprise while she waited for Katsuki to put the two together. When he put his head in his hand and cursed, Kokoro looked at him like 'it took you long enough.' "Really?"

"Wait, you turn people into dolls?" Mrs Bakugou asked, seeing slight ridges on my hands as Kokoro removed her fingerless gloves. "OOOOH, why didn't you tell me, Katsuki!! This is amazing!!" She looked at the ridges, asking questions. "How long does your quirk last? And have you used them for fashion or taking pictures?"

"Katsuki did offer me to be part of my fashion show if I want to show off my doll designs, but the Quirk lasts one full week. It is timer and palm activated. So, we will have to adjust depending. Those affected won't be able to eat so I make a special drink they can 'absorb' through their fabric. Then once they change back, they eat a calorie-rich meal to return those lost." Kokoro replied, looking pensive. She knew Katsuki accepted her, but Kokoro was still unsure with parents, especially after what hers did. "It's pretty difficult to control, so I have these gloves on."

"Oh, that is no problem. We're used to that, right Kats?" Mrs Bakugou said, causing Katsuki to blush. "When his quirk activated, we had to put special gloves to absorb the nitroglycerin until he was old enough to train them. Explosions every few moments were a pain in both raising a child and paying for damages."

Kokoro snorted, smiling. "Really? Katsuki couldn't control his quirk when it manifested? That's hard to believe, then again, it does. Wow, how much damage did you cause, Katsuki?"

Katsuki looked around, avoiding eye contact. "Tch...who knows, all I know is that I may have caused a few lawsuits..."

"Yeah, you did, and I had to show proof that your quirk was unstable and you were only four." Mrs Bakugou replied, ruffing his hair. "Now you can control it fine, and I'm damn proud of ya! Now...Let's eat, let's see if she can handle Bakugou Curry."

Kokoro perked. "Oh? Bring it on, the spicier the better!"
