Sunburn

Sunburn is the het ship between Sunny and Aubrey from the Omori fandom.

Canon
At the Memory Lane, Basil says that Sunny always asks to see the photos he takes of Aubrey. When Basil says that he senses a little crush on Sunny’s side, the latter feels his ear turning red as he was embarrassed and surprised Basil knew. Basil says that he will not tell anyone. When Aubrey talks to Sunny on the swings she apologizes, saying things like as if she cared for him even after four years. She is seen blushing at times while talking to him, though blushing does not always mean a sign of a crush

In the dreamworld, as Dream Aubrey has a one-sided crush on Omori, it is hinted that she herself does. At one of the picnic events, Aubrey says that she and Omori would be good together. During a fight, if Omori does not notice Aubrey, her attack will be stronger. If Omori does notice her, the attack will be even stronger. As Sunny created his headspace, Omori being his alter ego, it is implied he made headspace Aubrey have feelings for Omori, since he likes her; though it was hinted that Sunny had a crush on Aubrey, it is unknown if the feelings stayed the same; meaning Sunny might have only liked Aubrey before Mari had died.

When Sunny first meets Aubrey, she insults him. Aubrey later on apologizes when they were on the swings and was only shocked to see him there, she was also furious with him since he was not there when Mari died. Later on, we find out that it is clear that Aubrey still cares for Sunny a lot, it was obvious the two were close friends in the past, but after Mari died some things had changed, after Aubrey forgave them she was not being rude to Sunny or fought with him, as she only fought with Sunny and Kel, because Kel made Aubrey furious, but Sunny did not act rude to anything to Aubrey.

Fanon
Sunburn is quite popular in the fandom. Though overshadowed quite a bit by Sunnflower and Kimbrey, this pairing still has many supporters. The ship name comes from the first three letters of Sunny’s name, and burn being from his n and Aubrey’s u, b, and r; though it can also come from the fact that Aubrey was a former bully and bullies tend to “burn” their victims in some ways. There are currently 464 works written for this ship in Archive Of Our Own.

Some fans also think that Aubrey may have had a crush on Sunny, but it has never been confirmed. This fan theory is a headcanon for most of the fans of the pair. Fans also think that Omori and Headspace Aubrey would be better, since how rude Aubrey had changed. But later on in the game, it was only because she missed Mari and was furious with Sunny and the others on why they were not there when Mari died. This theory is also believed by some non-shippers.
