28 is the non-binary ship between Two and Eight from the Battle for Dream Island fandom.
Canon[]
Two, Eight, and Six watch Pie as she gets chased by Pi with forks. Two asks the other two if they should do something, although Eight and Six are indifferent towards helping her. Zero decides to step up as the numbers drag in a division symbol to divide Pi into nothing.
During the apocalypse, both Two and Eight are hiding inside the Even Numbers Clubhouse. The two overhear Zero's signal to come to his bunker, despite neither of the two know where it is when asked. The same signal tells Two and Eight that they can find it on Google Maps, making the two decide to try and go there. After Two climbs down the ladder from the treehouse, Two asks Eight if he's got sunscreen, food, water, and lava-proof body suits for them. Eight is surprised to hear the last item mentioned as he is informed by Two about the floor now being surrounded by lava. The two are unable to get to the bunker from there as Two decides to see if the lava could just be soda, being stung in the process as Two lets out a loud scream. Afterwards, the two are seen sitting on a wooden raft together with Two sharing to Eight how this is the first time they've been burnt by lava. The two are suddenly met with a giant lava wave coming right towards them. Two then tells Eight that they've always loved him and quickly adds that it's platonic right before the wave crashes down on the two. Afterwards in Zero's bunker, Eight and Two are inside a bubble that takes them to the bunker. Eight pops the bubble and Two explains to the numbers inside that they were able to activate a "platonic friendship bubble" because of their strong platonic love for Eight. Two is confused as to why no one is listening to them at first before being shown that the numbers are preoccupied watching Zero's tapes. Eight is surprised to see Six and Five happily sitting together and Two compliments them for it. Eight and Two decide to join in with the numbers on finding the video tape that shows how to defeat The Thing.
In Tpot 20, Two and Eight are shown together. Eight is stacks cards while two watches. When Eight's card tower collapse's, his expresses shock, while Two seems unbothered, shrugs and leaves. Two then rests near a tree and after One approaches, they boop her and exclaim "Nope!" before heading off and high fiving Eight before they both leave together, with two swirling around him. During the events of the disaster, Two comes back in distress to see three in a broken state, before putting their hand on Eight's shoulder and runs off upset. Overall, they are usually seen together in general.
Fanon[]
28 quickly gained popularity with the release of the 2,763,000 subscriber special. Scenes with Two indicating that they love Eight, although said to be only platonically in the short, quickly caught on to the general shipping community of the fandom. While the ship 015 was confirmed to be semi-canon in the same short, 28 did not soar in popularity as much because of the explicit platonic nature of the two in the short. Some fans point out their preference to keep their bond platonic as seen in the short to make it consistent with how Two feels about Eight. Regardless, a good amount of shippers still hold onto the scenes and also comment how the need for Two to repeatedly label their friendship as platonic gives a sense of denial that Two or Eight could be seeing it as more. The ship is commonly compared to Gattwo, the ship of Two and their best friend in the main series Gaty and how Eight could have had an influence to their dynamic.
