a/n: thank you so much to @oikawaisamood​ for your ko-fi donation, it really helped push me through the last bit of this chapter :( and happy birthday, 🖤 anon! i hope this chapter lived up to all of your expectations; it felt a bit underwhelming to write even though i’ve had it in my head for months, but i still hope you like it OTL

m.list || << prev … ch. 9 … next >>

Your stomach feels nauseous as you see Iwaizumi’s opponent eye him carefully, not too different from the way a predator would watch its prey before attacking during a bloodthirsty hunt. Your eyes flit back to Iwaizumi, the dim lighting of the basement-arena casting dark shadows over his face as he gives you one last warning look, before his opponent lunges at him again.

The crowd hoots in anticipation, and you wonder how no one seems to pay any regard for the fighters’ wellbeing; are they just machines to them? 

Time seems to freeze as Iwaizumi’s attacker practically flies towards him at full speed, the moments pausing like snapshots from a camera before your eyes.

“Look away.”

You want to look.

You don’t want to look.

You need to know what happens.

But you don’t want to see him get hurt.

Your heart is racing so fast you think it might shoot out of your body as it continues to sink with fear. Forcing yourself to quickly tear your eyes off the fight before it’s too late, you whip your head around and bury it into Oikawa’s shirt, your grip on his clothing tighter than the anxiety in your chest.

He wraps a reassuring arm around your trembling shoulder to hold you close, though his eyes are still paying close attention to his best friend in the ring.

You hear a loud grunt and a thud as your stomach twists itself into a knot—that was definitely the sound of a body hitting the cold, hard ground.

Some quick facts:

The Amazon rainforest is responsible for 20% of the world's oxygen. (**edit below)

It's home to numerous species of wildlife.

It is referred to as the lungs of the Earth.

And it's been burning for weeks, and no one is talking about it.

What is happening right now is an emergency that should be concerning all of us. The air we breath is at stake. This isn't exaggerating. Our lungs are destroyed as we speak and we are only just finding out.

This is our future. Are you upset about Spiderman? Same. Were you sad over Notre Dame? Same. But this is so much more important.

SPEAK UP. GET THIS KNOWN. Even if you can't do anything else, at least raise awareness to put some pressure out there on those who can do something. OUR HOME IS AT STAKE. The skies in São Paulo turned black. We are losing our most valued rainforest. WE CANNOT JUST SIT BACK.

**Edit: Many of you pointed out how the 20% oxygen phrase can be misleading (and many thanks, don't want to misinform). So, to clarify, it means that the rainforest provides us with an amount of oxygen that is then used by living organisms to survive. It is not a surplus, however; its carbon footprint is neutral because all this oxygen is used up. However, it remains essential, because, without it, we are left with less oxygen to sustain the organisms living now, which means some organisms will die. Also, without the forest, we will have fewer sources that absorb carbon dioxide, so greenhouse effects will be more pronounced. Many thanks for pointing this out.
