Above the Nightmares (Little Nightmares x Male Reader)

This Place Smells

Six sat in an old decrepit room in her filth. The putrid smell of the swamp permeated the room around her making her little nose twitch every time she breathed. She had lost count of how long she had been here. The hunter caught her and didn't do much with her but left her to her devices. She was given a music box, which was the only thing that brought her comfort in this insane world. Six hears rustling outside the house, fearing that it might be the hunter she hides.

The door then begins to get bashed open with something. Six starts to think to herself "I'm finally going to die?" Once the door is completely broken open she closes her eyes and braces herself for whatever might come, but instead, she hears a relatively calm voice devoid of any animosity.  

"Are you okay?", said the mysterious boy.

Six open her eyes finally to see a boy about her age staring back at her. He had brown eyes with curly black hair that stopped right above his eyebrow. He was wearing a black turtle neck with black jeans, but one of the most obvious things on him where his golden-rimed glasses. Six nods her head as an answer not wishing to speak.

Speaking got you caught. Speaking got you killed.

The boy reached his hand out to her to help her stand up. Six did not trust this person at all yet and pushed him out of the way to run. To her surprise, the boy did not move an inch from the push. He stood there staring at her with no emotion on his face. He then titled his head in confusion and Six retracted back.

"S-Sorry.", said Six. It was obvious that she was in fear of the boy.

"It's fine, just be careful.", said the boy.

He looked around the room studying its contents.

"You've been here a while haven't you?", said the boy.

Six nods her head.

"Well, I think it is about time I introduce myself. My name is Y/N, what's yours?", said Y/N.

"Six.", the girl said.

Y/N nods and holds out his hand.

"Well Six, wanna get out of here?", he asks.

Six never thought she would see the day. She was finally able to live the hellhole that caused her boredom rotting her brain away from doing nothing. Six didn't realize it yet, but she was crying. Someone then touches her face.

"Girls shouldn't cry," he said with a smile.

He wipes away her tears as a reaction she moves his hand away from her face.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have touched you.", he says solemnly.

She only nods her head in response. They then hear large footsteps move towards the room. Y/N quickly picks Six up bridal style and begins to run. She lets out a little squeak in surprise. The hunter then begins to chase them around the house. Putting Six down Y/N pulls up his sleeve and tells Six to go hide. She hides and covers her ears as well as closes her eyes. Even though her ears are closed she hears a big boom. Opening her eyes slowly there were waves of emotion that washed over Six when she saw the scene.

The hunter laid sprawled out on the ground with a giant hole in the middle of his chest, blood pouring out of it. She then slowly adjusted her eyes on to Y/N who stoic and unconcerned gaze looked back at her. There was blood on his face and hair. His fist was clenched and blood dripped from it as well. Six didn't know what to think. He then starts to speak.

"Sorry you had to see that.", he said in a monotone voice.

Six didn't realize it herself, but she was shaking in fear. The only thing that made sense was that he killed the hunter, but at the same time it doesn't. A  normal boy that small would never be able to exert enough force to kill a person, much less a grown man.
