This is for @au-august today's prompt being Mafia Au.
Yakuzatale
P.O.V LampĂĄs Cross Sans
Trigger Warning
Talk of Human Trafficking, Hints of Servitude and Organized Crime
Ceres had been working for years to get through Asgore, the Head of the Dreemur Family in Mafiatale. Ceres had been destroying his health the entire time in a weird attempt at repentance. Something about a good equitable system wouldn't have let those kinds of crimes take time to breath.
But when he finally was able to meet Asgore in the coming weeks on equal terms. Ceres grew more and more distant until he fell down a well again. LampĂĄs wished he was still worried about this kind of behavior. But Ceres wasn't normal.
So instead LampĂĄs went alone, he wore his best suit. A blue tux with a dark green tie. He also made sure to have his blades on either side. He wasn't so ignorant to believe he would be perfectly safe.
One step through the portal on neutral ground was enough to see the boss and his wife and the newly adopted child. Well more like a personal servant but still. The boss sat down on one side of the table and LampĂĄs on the other. While his wife Toriel sat by his side and Frisk by her side. It felt somehow lopsided, LampĂĄs couldn't help but think Asriel should be there normally. Or at least an heir.
Asgore wore the outer layer of golden kimono over his black suit. Toriel wore a full purple kimono with golden intricate embroidery. While Frisk wore some normal jeans, a jacket and a blouse. It was a business meeting either way.
So LampĂĄs held the stack of paper Ceres had prepared. At least he didn't leave without a crazy amount of prep. âHere is what we had in mind for the safety of children in your care.â
Asgore slid it towards Frisk without sparing a glance towards the papers. âCan I know why Ceres did not deem this meeting important enough to show face?â
LampĂĄs was ready for this so he steeled his resolve even more. âI advise you not to read insults where none is. When it comes to meetings of such importance I am the one in charge.â
Asgore cleared his throat as Frisk frowned. âYou can speak freely.â
Frisk visibly steeled their spine. âIn section 3 of appendix 4, it is mentioned you wished to relocate all children to another au to give them a fresh start. But I don't see any reason why the Dreemur Family would take the loss.â
LampĂĄs kept his tremors in control as Outcast started floating behind him. âCut the heads, force one into position.â
âWe have the money to pay for all of them, we also have donors ready to give the determination lost.â LampĂĄs wasn't going to let Outcast make him play judge again. Outcast was a bit too far gone though.
Frisk continued to read, they were fast, which was good for LampĂĄs. Frisk then handed the papers back to Asgore. âIt is air tight and in our advantage sir.â
Asgore gave it a swift read as Toriel's shoulders shifted a little closer to Frisk who hid their hands under the small table. âI guess it isn't such a loss if you keep your promise. But what keeps us from taking more when your donation reaches its end?â
LampĂĄs stayed firm. âIt is renewable without expected interest. Our goal is to provide an alternative. I assume you work in between the blind spots of the system in this Universe. Ceres sees it as a personal fault, so if working alongside you provides more positivity then who are we to stop him.â
Asgore frowned, his shoulder lightly tensing, almost begging for a fight to start. LampĂĄs focused on not letting his size intimidate him. Ceres already made several cut-out of two classic Asgore on top of each other to get used to it. âAbout the blind spots, where would those children live? What makes you better than us.â
âYou can still end him, cut his head off and do the same for the rest.â LampĂĄs had to work through his rage to not glare at what was nothing for everyone else. Even if Outcast Chara really deserved it.
LampĂĄs held his gaze. âBe honest with me Sir, do you really think you have the respect you deserve when the other families of Ebott City see those children. You may not have trafficked them, but you are still putting them in danger.â
Asgore spared a glance to his wife who had simply looked down. He signed the papers without another mention. âThe children and their parents who aren't working are by the foyer. Take them out of my sight.â
LampĂĄs bowed deeply and walked away to the foyer of the hotel. Where indeed there were a bunch of children and some young mothers or old parents. LampĂĄs smiled softly to them and opened a portal. âThere will be a banquet for everyone with some clothes and bedding.â People went in, not sure but they still did. So LampĂĄs went after them, giving a final glare to a sulking spirit.

Cross ans XChara: @jakei95
I generally take inspiration and twist from an au but I just realised I didn't actually do that here. I just kind of went the Yakuza route because it's what I understood best.
