Shades of Gold (Statehumans)

This side of Paradise

New Jersey's POV:

I have been living with New Hampshire and Massachusetts for about two months now, and goddamn do I love both of them with all of my heart. I never knew I was Poly, and I doubt Mass knew he was Poly. I want to spend my dying days with New Hampshire and Mass. I don't have a favorite partner..They're both so adorable and kind, anyway. Today there was a thunderstorm for most of the east coast and New England, I was cuddled up with New Hampshire when Mass came running into the room, his hands flapping in excitement. "Guys! There's a thunderstorm warning, just got an EAS on my phone and on my mini TV!" Mass has ADHD, and he stims a lotta the time, which I find to be just adorable. It's kind of funny, actually, he sometimes gets either frightened by thunderstorms, or super excited about them. Suddenly, the emergency alert sound blared on the upstairs television and New Hampshire covered his ears quickly, he's the one who's a bit sensitive to blaring sounds. Massachusetts' eyes widened with delight as the..oddly creepy weather alert guy started speaking. After it was over, Massachusetts jumped on New Hampshire and I, on the couch to cuddle with us during the big storm. New Hampshire is actually a big dude, not unhealthy big, but he's hefty. So more hugable. I sometimes, when we both sleep in our large bed made for three, cuddle his stomach. It's just so squishy! "Alright you two," New Hampshire finally said. "Who's hungry? I'm going to order us a pizza!" Mass flapped his hands and started to jump up and down. "I am! What about you, Jersey?" I then look at New Hampshire who's smiling, already having the old pizza menu out for us, and his Samsung Galaxy, ready to order. Just waiting for me like a good partner he is. I rub the back of my head, I can feel my stomach turn and make noise, I haven't ate since breakfast because I was out for most of the day with Hampshire. "I guess I am.." I say being embarrassed.
