Sevix is the het ship between The Runaway Kid and Six from the Little Nightmares fandom.
Canon[]
The duo's first encounter occurs when Six is captured and caged by The Janitor. She is seen asleep within her cage as another cage containing a withered child is dragged away by The Janitor. The anonymous child was confirmed to be Runaway Kid in the DLC: Depths of the Maw chapter ending. After he is kidnapped himself, a short cutscene displays him glancing over at an unconscious Six through his cage before being dragged away.
The two do not collide again until further progression into the game. Six slowly travels to a spacious room as she struggles with her intense hunger pains; she encounters the Runaway Kid, who has been transformed into a Nome. Acknowledging her predicament, he offers her a sausage laying ahead of him. Shockingly, she pounces him and consumes him alive, leaving his corpse alone as she continues her venture. It is confirmed that Runaway Kid and Six's journeys take place simultaneously.
Very little personal information regarding the two is unknown, but their actions can interpret a few things. Six is a less compassionate individual judging from her countless murders throughout the game to satisfy her hunger and expressing no remorse. Runaway Kid, in contrast, is much more friendly and outgoing to those around him, building friendships with several Nomes despite being unaware of their former human status; him offering a sausage to six is an additional example of his kindness. Six serves as the anti-hero of both games, arguably triggering the trope Dating Catwoman to their relationship. Additionally, this proves the two to be opposites of the other, influencing the Opposites Attract trope.
Six’s selfish and antagonistic attitude comparing with Runaway Kid’s kindness and morality activates the Solar and Lunar trope. Six deals with insatiable hunger throughout the base of the game and couldn’t resist the desperate temptation to devour Runaway Kid. This factor results in the Love Cannot Overcome trope, for she cannot defeat a supernatural or powerful thing within her that resulted in the death of him. This trope, however, can apply to the overall events of the game and the duo struggling to survive the many disasters that confront them.
Fanon[]
Sevix was undoubtedly the most popular ship within the Little Nightmares fanbase before the arrival of the game’s prequel, whereas MonoSix was introduced. Several fan theories regarding them scattered the platform; A popular theory suggests that when Six was suffering through her hunger, the child who offered her their bread was Runaway Kid himself, thus explaining why he had offered a sausage to her in their second encounter either out of hopes of her recognizing him or out of a mere act of compassion, this theory was debunked by the creators.
With the arrival of the prequel, fans suspected The Lady to be the future depiction of Six, dismissing the theory of her being the mother of her. This harms the Sevix ship due to The Lady transforming Runaway Kid into a Nome for witnessing her face without her mask. Alternative endings within the fandom to keep the pairing alive can include Six never consuming him or he had kept his human form and escaped The Maw alongside her. With the popular arrival of MonoSix, however, Rainaways, the het ship between Runaway Kid and The Raincoat Girl, gained more recognition and became favored. Some may even prefer the ship between Runaway Kid and Mono, Sevono.
Fans feel that it is taboo to ship underage characters; to avoid this, alternative universes were created to age the characters up to consenting adults.

Trivia[]
- Fans often mistake Six for Runaway Kid in Little Nightmares II due to the similar appearance (Chin-length hair, bobcut, bangs covering eyes, etc).
- The ship name “Sevix” is the combination of Seven and Six. This is due to fans often referring to Runaway Kid as Seven as a placeholder name before learning his official title.
- In a secret room in the DLC, Runaway Kid can view through an enormous eye that serves as a camera throughout The Maw. If the player presses the button enough times to switch cameras, they will eventually witness Six shifting through the pit of shoes before she cuts out of view.
