Monix the het ship between Mono and Six from the Little Nightmares fandom.

Canon
Mono first meets Six when she is caught by the Hunter. When he goes to rescue Six, Mono follows the sound of the music box she was playing in her prison as a form of comfort. After Mono axes his way into the locked room Six was trapped in, he offers his hand to her, but Six ends up pushing him aside before she dashes off. Once Mono helps Six to get into the attic when he caught up to her, the two learn to work together to survive the Wilderness. They both work together to shoot the Hunter and escape. Throughout the game, Six initially tries to go by herself, but during their time together, they learn to trust and help each other. In doing this, they become close friends.

They travel together through different locations and flee the Wilderness on a floating door to the Pale City. They encounter enemies, such as the Teacher, who they escaped from. The Doctor, who Mono can either burn or trap inside the crematory machine. The Bullies, that Mono saves Six from. Finally, the main antagonist is the Thin Man. Six are kidnapped by the Thin Man, separating them.

Mono pursues and fights to rescue Six. He is even able to kill the Thin Man and free a cursed Six from her twisted form by destroying the music box. The music box and the room Mono finds twisted Six in mirrors their first meeting. However, Six betrays Mono and leaves him for dead at the Radio Tower. Mono then finds himself trapped in a time loop and becomes the Thin Man. As for Six, she begins to feel hunger the moment she exits the TV screen, while her dark shadow glances at a picture of the Maw.

Fanon
Most of the Little Nightmares fanbase portrays a wholesome friendship between the two. Prior to the second game's release, the ship between Six and the Runaway Kid was the more prominent ship. Now it is likely that Monix is the most popular ship in the fanbase, due to Mono and Six actually interact throughout the majority of the game, though it's debatable. It's likely that the game's mechanics started the ship in the first place. Press RT to hold hands is now a popular phrase within the fandom.

Many fans who support their relationship and weren't pleased with the ending and decided to make endings that are considered to be more enlightening. Some of which is that Six instead helps Mono instead of dropping him, which further improves their relationship.

Similar to how Mono was revealed to be the Thin Man's child self, there are theories that Six might end up becoming the Lady antagonist she faced in the first game. Since both Six and Mono have had nightmares that relate to the Thin Man and the Lady. This theory is also connected to the one that has the Six and Mono being freed from the paradox that traps them in an never ending cycle, possibly by convincing Six to save Mono instead of leaving him for dead. Mono being revealed to be the Thin Man has even got fans to wonder if he was trying to save his child self from the girl who'll betray him in an attempt to break the cycle, or to keep Six away from her own darkness when a shadow figure of her was left behind after the Thin Man kidnapped her.
