Yoichi's View
I stayed still as I was still pressed against Chojuro's chest. I really couldn't do anything else but hear him out. I took deep breaths every few seconds to keep myself calm and collected.
"Yoichi," Chojuro muttered into my ear. I tensed up. "I'm so sorry, I really am. I honestly thought what I was doing was the best for you. I thought it would help you."
I clenched my teeth together. I wasn't going to bother saying anything till he was finished with his explanation. Chojuro seemed to get the hint that I wasn't going to talk. He sighed.
"I didn't mean to play with your feelings, that's the last thing I wanted to do to you. I never wanted to play with your feelings. I was just worried that Zuko was going to do who knows what and I didn't want to let it happen again. I didn't want to just stay back and watch the scene play out. Not again. I had to do something this time." He explained.
My ears perked up at what he was saying. He was making it seem like something happened before this. My eyes widened as I took a few seconds to think about it. No way.
"You saw." I stated lowly.
His arms that were wrapped around me grew tighter. He started to tremble. "I'm s-so sorry..."
Tears started to build up in my eyes. He saw what happened. He saw Zuko kiss me. I broke myself out of his grip rather easily and turned around to face him. Chojuro had his head hung low and his fists clenched at his sides tightly.
I glared at him. "You fucking saw what happened, didn't you?" I spat out. "You saw what he did to me and you just watched!"
Chojuro flinched. He lifted his head and looked straight into my eyes with tears in his own. "I'm s-sorry..."
My face fell. I let the tears fall as my lips trembled. "W-Why didn't you do anything?" I asked.
"I was shocked, I was so scared. At first when I saw him kiss you, I thought that maybe you had given him consent and I was just being paranoid as hell. I realized that wasn't the case after seeing how things were starting to get between you and him. I was frozen in place, I didn't know what to do. I wanted to go over there and help you, but I couldn't move my legs. I couldn't shout. I couldn't do a single thing to help you. I'm so sorry... I'm sorry." Chojuro finished. Tears were dripping down his chin, one after another.
I shook my head slowly, my eyes never leaving his. I couldn't believe that he just watched Zuko do those things to me. My own best friend didn't even really bother to try and do something to help me. He could have shouted my name, distracted Zuko and helped me flee. He could have even fucking punched the shit out of Zuko so he would get his dirty ass lips off of me.
Anything would have honestly been better than just standing there and watching the scene take place before his very own eyes. My lip started to tremble, and my heart ached.
"You know, forget it." I mumbled out, my breathing uneven and harsh. I noticed Chojuro ease up a bit. "Just leave me the fuck alone, alright?"
Chojuro's eyes widened. He started to take small steps closer to me, his eyes filled with confusion. "Hold up, Yoichi. I just need to know if you forgive me or not, p-please. At least give me that closure." He pleaded, staring at me hard.
I stared back at him, my eyes void of any emotion at the moment. I spun around, my back facing him. I just couldn't do it. "I can't forgive you, Chojuro." I stated boldly, looking over my shoulder at him. My eyes narrowed, "Yeah, you're my best friend and all, but you could have fucking done something and that's gonna stay with me. You want me to forgive you?"
He nodded rapidly, "Of course I do!" He answered.
I nodded back and looked away from him. I started to walk forward, "Then work for it... I'm not forgiving you that easily. You may be my fucking friend, but that wasn't fucking cool. I needed you." I snarled out. I stopped walking and decided on running away instead.
I didn't want to be near him. I couldn't do that right now. All I felt was anger and disgust towards him. I wanted to forgive him, I do. But my heart isn't ready for that yet, I need some time.
There was, however, one thing on my mind that I couldn't just let go off.
Zuko.
I started grinding my teeth together in anger. 'I'm so fucking you up when I have the chance, Zuko. Just you fucking wait. I'm not playing games anymore, I'm done hiding and running.'
I don't go around letting any guy kiss me. No, not anymore. Fuck that.

I sat down by the river, my sword in my lap and towel in my hand. I dipped the towel into the river, the cooling water soaking into the tower rapidly. I smiled lightly as I draped the towel over my sword and cleansed it of all the dry blood and dirt that it had littered on it.
My sword seemed to shine as the sun hit it just a little, making me perk up at its beauty. It was all clean now. A smirk made it's way to my lips, interesting thoughts taking over my mind.
"I wonder how long I can keep this clean for..." I mumbled, running my fingers across the blade. My smirk widened, "My baby is itching for more blood."
I howled out in laughter. My reflection on my sword staring back at me just as evily.
"I'm gonna fuck you up, Zuko."
