Mini Butler (Black Butler)

Ciel had been sitting in his bed for an hour now. Waiting for Sebastian to come and wake him was growing rather tiresome. So deciding he'd had enough, he folded his arms over his chest. "Sebastian. No matter that is going on come here now."

It wasn't long when Ciel heard a small voice, but was entirely shocked when his eyes locked on a doll-sized Sebastian standing on the nightstand beside his bed. "You called, my lord?"

Sebastian felt weak. Humiliated. Having to be before his master in this dwindled size where he is unable to make breakfast or tea. And he could see clearly in Ciel's deep blue pool and contract eye that he was just as amused as Sebastian was embarrassed.

"Sebastian, it would appear your age finally caught up with your height,"  Ciel mumbled with a smirk, gripping the collar of the now small butler's tailcoat and lifted him from the wooden surface.

"And it would seem that you made no attempt to dress yourself." Sebastian retorted with a disapproving look, but in actuality, something in him was churning. A feeling he'd never felt before.

"And why would I? That would be your job. Though, I believe your job isn't an option at the moment. We must hurry and figure out how this happened. I can't have a butler who can do nothing but sit around like this." Ciel released his grip on the tailcoat, letting the butler fall onto the mattress with ease.

Easily landing on his feet, Sebastian brushed himself off and straightened his coat and tie. This was truly a disgracing experience. He would like nothing more to return to his normal height so his master couldn't torment him this way. "I am terribly sorry young master. Had I known this was going to happen I would have made breakfast and morning tea earlier."

Ciel did not respond, and instead rose to his feet and began what he'd let Sebastian do thousands of times. Get dressed for the day. And it took quite a while, with short instructing from the miniaturized butler that he finally got the last of the buttons on his boots finished. 

With his waistcoat on and boots and socks laced up, he turned to face Sebastian with another wide smirk. "Oh, I forgot to mention, I received a letter from Elizabeth yesterday. She was going to arrive this afternoon." He could see Sebastian's crimson orbs widen as the thought sunk in, which only amused the young Earl more.

"L-Lady Elizabeth." Sebastian stuttered softly, pushing a gloved hand through his raven black hair. "Of course." The young lady was always a terror. Decorating the mansion in pink colors. If she were to see him in this size, she would surely adorn him in frilly pink dolls clothes. A shiver ran through his spine and he turned his head upward to meet his master's deep blue eye, the contract seal now hidden behind a poorly tied eyepatch.

"Does this make you nervous?" Ciel said with a light chuckle, once again lifting the butler up by the collar of his tailcoat and depositing him into an open palm.

Sebastian, unable to lie, had to nod his head. "Only slightly my lord, I believe I can handle her." It wasn't a full lie, Sebastian wanted to believe fully that he could fend for himself against the Lady Elizabeth. But for the first time in quite a while, he wasn't sure what he could do.

"Oh, I suppose we'll see." The young Earl responded with a snicker. "For the time being, we best get Tanaka to make my food. Oh, and control the other servants. Do you have any inkling how this could have happened to you though?" He asked curiously as he headed out his bedroom door with the mini butler still in his hand. 

The crimson eyed demon began to think, keeping himself steady in the now moving vessel. "I was doing your bedroom sheets and there was the sound of glass shattering. I chose to ignore it, for I thought it could have been one of the servants, but then a few moments later I was standing this tall." He sighs, using a finger to rub his temple. 

"So it was clearly not one of the servants," Ciel responded and began to think. "Perhaps Alois Trancy and his butler had something to do with it.  After Lizzy leaves we will busy ourselves looking for a way to fix this. Am I understood?"

Sebastian nodded in response, his heart beating rapidly in his chest at the thought of dealing with Elizabeth all day. And it was this that he realized this new feeling? The one he has never felt before? It finally hit him. It was fear.
