Autolatry
n. 1. The worship of oneself.

There was a surreal undertone of energy that had washed over Spencer that night. Normally, on a night like this, he would be in a gay club, dancing, getting high, getting groped, grinded, sucked, humped, and fucked. In whatever order that happened to come in. Just a week prior, he was given an invitation to this: an LGBT+ Masquerade Ball, that was basically just another night in a gay club, with masks. Or so he thought.

( The thrill of the chase is what got him hard just thinking about. Not being able to see their faces, not knowing who they were... )

"Tell me, I guess that cupid was in disguise
The day you walked in and changed my life
I think it's amazing,
The way that love can set you free
So now I walk in the midday sun
I never thought that my saviour would come
I think it's amazing
I think you're amazing."
• Amazing, George Michael

This was a day Sasha would never forget. He had assumed that in coming on this trip to London with Justin and his family, that everything they did would be as a group. That had been fine with him, he had just been excited as all shit to be invited along. He and Justin still had time together when they were with his family. They had never once made Sasha feel like he wasn't welcome. There was only one person who made him feel like that, but that story didn't have a place on this trip.

Not that day. That day, they decided they wanted some time alone together, so Amarlie and Justin's mom jumped on the chance to hit London's shopping district and Mr Campbell arrange to catch up with an old college mate who was also a lawyer here in London. It worked out really well. The first stop had been Paddington Station. Sasha would be lying if he said he hadn't been excited about dropping by there. He had grown up on Paddington Bear, which was a special connection between him and his grandmother, who had been born in England.

( Justin had done so many amazing things for Sasha since they met, that he wanted to do something special for him... )
