[bbacks towards the door, trying to remember if his mom's home right now
He's safe if she is, right? In that case, he'd just have to scream...
But even in that case, isn't the whole point that he can't? He can't allow that kind of political conflict to start. He has to keep it as hushed as possible.]
...You know, what you're doing is going to cause our parents to lose face too.
that feels kind of like getting a bit of power back

So, you'll make everyone at school think I'm dirty until I become that way to earn your silence, huh? Even though that rumor would hurt our families just as much as me telling them what you actually do, if it left school?
Then maybe I'll start rumors, too. I'll tell everyone your nose is bruised because you're forcing me. That way, when it gets out, you're the only one in trouble.
[He never thought he'd stoop to that kind of selfish politicking. It feels wrong, underhanded and inelegant and crude in a way that dirties him only just a little less than what Cyrus wants. But it's a matter of pride not to give in, even if the whole thing makes him so frustrated that, despite himself, the tears he's been holding back are starting to well up.]

It's vengeance for making Tokiomi feel so cornered and humiliated that he feels (and looks) like he could cry.]
What is wrong with you? Why do you want that kind of thing so badly you'd try to ruin my entire life to get it?

Sitting there, he gives Tokiomi a defiant stare - he's not answering the person who threw a book at him just yet]
