Thanks for reading! I don't own any of Black Butler! Please let me know if you enjoy! Updates weekly!

In Victorian England, after a tragic double murder and most unfortunate arson, the heir to the noble house of Phantomhive returned and reclaimed the fallen family's status.

The lost heir had regained wealth, dignity, honor...

.....But the new Earl Phantomhive, Ciel, usually wore a scowl.

Maybe it was Ciel's tortured past or maybe it was just a habit.

Either way, Ciel Phantomhive rarely smiled.

Several years after Ciel's dramatic return, the bluenette sat talking with the Phantomhive butler, Sebastian, over a very serious matter.

Sebastian could not recall a time when he had seen his charge more irritated.

"I'm afraid there is no other way, young master." Sebastian explained gravely.

The Phantomhive butler stood a few feet away from Ciel's desk, frowning while Ciel scowled back.

"You're certain?" Ciel asked in a cold, cutting voice.

Sebastian was used to Ciel's iciness, in fact, he took it as a compliment.

"I am." Sebastian nodded. "The time will pass quickly while I'm away."

"Two weeks?" Ciel scoffed.

There was an important mission that Ciel had been assigned to complete.

Unfortunately, the new mission required extensive travel and Ciel was currently recovering from a recent bout of pneumonia that had exacerbated the bluenette's asthma.

The trip must be taken immediately but the bluenette was not strong enough.

Sebastian's frown deepened.

Ciel hissed through gritted teeth, "Very well. I'll send you in my place, Sebastian."

"Young master," Sebastian said softly as he walked forward.

Ciel turned to look at the wall while Sebastian knelt down right in front of the bluenette.

"You know that I would prefer not to leave your side." Sebastian said quietly.

Ciel never doubted that Sebastian would return from the mission safely, the bluenette was very aware of her skilled butler's talents.

Sebastian would be fine.

But......

Ciel looked back at Sebastian with a pout. "What am I to do while you're gone? Wait for Tanaka to have his tea every day before I can get some assistance?"

"Of course not." Sebastian smiled quickly. "I've made other arrangements."

"Oh?" Ciel blinked.

"Indeed." Sebastian replied.

The next day, at Trancy manor, Alois, the newest Earl Trancy, lounged around in his parlor when his butler, Claude, walked in the room.

Alois blinked at Claude's abrupt arrival.

"I have some news, highness." Claude stated blandly.

"News? What news?" Alois asked irritably.

News?

No interesting news ever came to Trancy manor.

Earl Trancy lacked the responsibilities that Ciel undertook and so the blonde spent much of his day milling aimlessly around his impossibly large mansion, wishing that he had some company or at least something to do.
