Queen of Broken Hearts by Blackbear
"I'm the queen of broken hearts,
Break you in a thousand parts.
Used to be a shooting star
When did I become so dark?"

Stars. A lot of them. They were scattered across the sky, everywhere you turned there were more of them. You had climbed to the top of the cliff just to spend your whole night underneath them. They were truly a spectacular sight. After a long day of traveling this a perfect way to rest and relax. You crossed your arms behind your head and slowly started to doze off...

"Hey there ♡," You heard behind you. Immediately you reached into your backpack for your dagger. It was unlikely a normal stranger had climbed up this cliff without the use of Nen. The place was too jagged, without the use of some tool- which you would of heard. Furthermore, you would have sensed Nen this close, so this perpetrator had to be using Zetsu. But you couldn't just attack without knowing the full extent of this stranger's powers. So basically, you had to keep your cool while keeping your guard up.
"Hello," You casually replied. "What brings you up here?". The outsider walked over to you and plopped down, which gave you a better look at him in the moonlight. He was a redhead, with short hair that touched his eyes. He sported a white crop top with a bunched up red shirt underneath, which really highlighted his pencil figure. He had white pants to match. As for his face... he was indeed quite handsome, with a sharp jawline and eyes that gold pooled in. On top of that, he had a star on his left cheek and a teardrop on his right.

'What an odd fellow,' You thought to yourself.
"I saw you up on the cliff and decided to join you. You're most likely the only human for miles, and you look around my age. I thought we could keep each other company.♡" He answered. His hand reached into his pocket. You tensed up, tightening your grip around your blade, but loosen it when he pulls out a pack of gum. "Want some?♡" He offers. "N-no, I'm fine.". He shrugs and takes out a piece for himself, and starts to chew as you slowly relax. You tore your eyes off of him and back onto the stars. "They're pretty, aren't they?". You ask, trying to make small talk. "Hn.♤" He blandly answered. Determined, you continue. "Do you know any constellations?".
"You don't see this many stars from where I'm from.♧".
"Are you from the city?"
He looked at you. "Glam Gas Land.♧"
"Oh," You sheepishly smiled. "I've never heard of that place. But I'm from the city too, I grew up in Yorknew.".
"Cool.♤" He replied. You two went back in silence again, while you gazed at the stars again. "Do you want to see a card trick?♢" He suddenly asks you. "Okay!" You respond, and he takes out a card deck and starts to shuffle. He then spreads the cards out in his hand and holds it out, face down. "Choose a card, remember it, and put it back. I won't look.♡".
He turned his head away. You took a card and flipped it, revealing the Queen of Hearts. You put it back in the hand and the redhead gathered the cards and started to shuffle again. After a minute, he took a card without looking at it and held it out to you. "Is this your card?♢".
"Sorry, it's not.".
"Really?♤".His face fell.
You laughed. "Just kidding. You got it spot on! That's a cool trick you have there. Where'd you learn it?".
"My mother taught me.♡".
"I see. She must be pretty special then."
He gave you a half-smile and started to shuffle the cards again. You had to admit he was skilled, he kneaded the cards in and out perfectly.
"Hey, do you know how to make a card tower?♢" He implored you. You nodded. "I do too, but I'm not very good at it.♤"
"Really? You seem to be the type that's good at everything.". He looked at you questioningly. "Oh, never mind. Forget I said that.".
He held his cards out to you."Do you want to try?♡"
You looked around. "Over here? The cliff is tilted, the cards will immediately fall down.".
He shrugged. "Alright then.♤".
The card user looked disappointed, which for some reason upset you.
"U-um wait!" You let out. "Let me try, at least.".
Looking interested again, the boy handed you his cards. You took two and set the rest aside, trying to find the best spot to set up. The problem was, there was no flat edge anywhere, the terrain was all slanted. Still, you set the two cards down against each other and found a solution to your little problem.
You were a specialist. Your ability included telekinesis- moving objects wherever you'd like by using your Nen to reach and make the object float. You'd also mastered manipulation pretty well, to the point where you could lift an object with telekinesis and change its shape. Basically, you were a manipulator- specialist.
