States Oneshots (Jersey-centric)

secrets, and making promises

          New Jersey huffed as California insisted he eat sugary foods instead of the usual tide pods and bleach he eats "But why? Ain't like it'll do nuthin" Cal threw his hands up in frustration at this response, and left to go get NY to see if he'd have any better luck with the chemical filled demon state.

       "New York??? Your boyfriend's being stupid and stubborn again" Cali called down the halls, being fully aware that they were home alone, not even Gov being there. The rest were at the mall, and while the golden state wanted to go, he was assigned to making sure New Jersey didn't die somehow, from eating indelible things, or from a fight with New York.

        He wouldn't have called that down the hall if he knew the rest were home, it's simply a bad idea. Especially with Northeasterners. The only people who knew of the empire state and garden states' relationship were Cali and Massachusetts. The bay state was there because they knew he wouldn't bring it up to save his life, he generally didn't care. They'd made an agreement that Pennsylvania wouldn't find out, as he never exactly approved of NJ and NY's friendship, let alone full on relationship.

         New York responded by opening the door to his room, wearing his buffalo bills hoodie and red beanie, with black sweatpants. Cali was a bit surprised, as half the time New York looked like a homeless person when the others weren't there, but didn't question anything. "What the f-ck is he doin now?" the empire state asked with a groan.

     "Dude, he's being like, hella stupid. Might want to check on him" the golden state said, and New York asked if the garden states' anemia was acting up, to which Cali nodded his head. He gave New Jersey a lecture about how he can't eat whatever he wants and how he has to eat sugary snacks if he wants to survive. "Fine, but only on one condition." New York raised an eyebrow, not being totally sure he trusted the garden state to choose what they would be doing.

   "Go on." New York said, slightly interested to see what he would say, and he internally cursed when he heard what they would be doing, but he agreed. Nothing sexual, just that the garden state wanted to prove that the Jersey Devil was real, and that if it was, New York would have to ride on its back with New Jersey.

    With that, New Jersey ate his snacks without complaint, and he teleported them to the Pine Barrens. The empire states' heart raced, and the shorter man looked over to him and told him he wouldn't have to go if he didn't want to.

Author's note: I know I said this would be one-shot, but I'm gonna make a sequel to this. I'll have to do research on New Jerseyan folklore, since I'm from NY, but it shouldn't take long. I'll just have to find out the mostly consistent physical properties of the Jersey Devil, and other stuff. I'll likely do an update in a couple hours.
