There was something about watching the waves that was just peaceful. At least it was usually peaceful. Now he just remembered coming out here with Wallace to talk. That talk had ended with a kiss and it hadn't been Wallace doing the kissing. Then, if he hadn't known better - and he swore he knew better - there was Wallace trying to make him jealous at the next party. It was frustrating and he was half tempted to go head down to Tim's old gym and start at the punching back for a little while.

That was probably a bad idea. Still, it made him feel a little better.

He could go surfing, but he didn't really feel like it. Or hang gliding. He could go hunt down one of the girls or Bart, but being with Cassie when he was definitely not moping was a bad idea and Cissie and Bart would have too many questions.

Really, he had no idea what he wanted to do and he kicked at the sand a little. Damn it, he didn't like feeling like this and he refused to admit why he was. Because he kind of liked Wallace and he had been jealous. He didn't need more screwed up relationships, women or men.

Kon suspected it wasn't as easy as that. The more time he spent around Cassie, the more she seemed to be trying to attract his attention and the nicer he was to Wallace, the more he seemed to be thinking that Kon was trying to lead him on instead of just being confused.

He was in between a rock and a hard place and he hated being there.

"Yeah, definitely."

But Kon was the only who could get himself out. Xander knew that from experience.

He reached out and gripped Kon's shoulder. "I don't know if I any help, but if you ever need to talk again, you can always come find me. I don't know if I can help, but at least you can let it out."

Kon smiled a little. "Thanks. I appreciate it. I could use all the help I could get."

Of course, all the talking in the world wouldn't help once he was face to face with either Cassie or Wallace. He supposed he would just have to figure it out as he went along.

"Anytime man. Being between two people you care about...its not easy. I was only spared because one disappeared." And he still missed Clark, even if him disappearing meant Xander had had a chance with Spike. "And I know you don't want that."

He squeezed Kon's shoulder and made to stand up again.

Kon winced. Sometimes he could forget about Xander and Clark. Mostly because it was really weird to think of Xander with the guy that was basically his dad. Then again, it was weird to think of a Clark who wasn't much older than he was as a dad. Funny, since Lex couldn't have been much older, either. ...how old was Lex? Oh well.

He shot Xander a small smile. "Yeah, thanks, man."

Xander just didn't think about it. Period. It had been weird enough being in the middle of it. Lex catching him holding hands with Clark had been...well, not a high point of his island life.

"Anytime." He said again with an answering smile before giving Kon a small wave as he turned to go.
