Summary - The sequel to The Houseguest where Ruben and Reader have been dating long distance for a year. The two of them finally plans to spend a holiday together, but to Readers suprise and disappointment, Ruben brings her brother Bernardo with them. 

Enjoy!

You went to bed alone but woke up to Ruben by your side. He and Bernardo played video games all night, leaving you to watch silly rom-coms on your laptop all night. But now you had him, Ruben, all to yourself.

You let your hand travel across his lean torso, your lips placing soft kisses upon his warm skin. Ruben grunted in response, stirrig the bed as he shifted sleeping positions. You smiled as you got on top of him, the newfound weight opening his eyes.

"Good morning." You grinned.

"What time is it?" He groaned.

You shrugged. "Early."

"I thought we were on holiday?" He chuckled.

"Yes, but we have a big day ahead of us. So rise and shine beautiful. "

You had a big plans for you and Ruben. First you wanted to take him sight seeing in the city, maybe then the two of you could enjoy some lunch before the concert tonight. You had bought two tickets in advance. It was going to be perfect.

Ruben, with his drowsy gaze, just seemed content to have you in bed with him again.

"Come here." He groaned, pulling you down to lay on your back. "I've missed you." He smiled.

"I've missed you too."

He leand down, capturing your lips with his own. It quickly deepend, turning into a lustful exchange between you two. Sooner than later Ruben's hand was deep in your pajama pants, pleasing your desire for him with his fingers.

You arched your back, moaning his name.

"Shhhh. You brother might hear us."

With those words your cloudy mind seemed to evaporate, forcing you to remember the horror of last night.

"What?"

Ruben noticed the change in you.

"You brought my brother to our trip."

Ruben rolled his eyes, his hand slipping out of your pants.

You sat up in bed as he fell back against the pillows.

"You brought Bernardo to our holiday. What were you thinking Ruben?"

"I told you, he asked me and I couldn't say no."

"Why not?"

Ruben shook his head. "Is it really that big of a deal. We can still enjoy our time together."

"Yes, with a thrid wheel."

"Come on Y/N. Bernardo can take care of himself, he just needed a place to stay for the summer break."

"You don't know my brother Ruben. He has a habit of ruining things."

You climbed out of bed, making your way over to the closet. You picked out your outfit of the day. A blue dress with white flowers on it. Ruben watched you get dressed, deviously biting his lip. He sighed. "I never meant to upset you Y/N. I just thought it would be nice for Bernardo to get out of Lisabon for the summer. You know him and his girlfriend broke up right?"

"Who, Lisa?"

"No, Nella."

"Nella?" You frowned. "I thought he was dating a girl named Lisa?"

"Before Nella there was Lisa and before Lisa there was Sophia. And don't forget about that Russian girl that he met here last year."

Your brothers history with women hadn't always been the best. You supposed that Ruben wanting Bernardo to forget about his bad luck with women was a nice thing for him to do.

"But I haven't seen you for so long." You muttered.

"I know." Ruben gathered the sheets and crawled to the edge of the bed. He reached for your arm, railing you in. "I promise you, nothing will get away of our holiday."

"Promise?"

Ruben turned you around, forcing you to look him in the eyes. They were a nice pair of eyes.

"I promise."

It was a big word, promise, especially once you realized how bad Bernardo was handling his break up. He had developed a childish needed to never be left alone, as well as a need to always be the center of attention.

"I want to see if I can find something for mom and dad at the market." You tugged Ruben's hand in this direction. The three of you had decided to spend the day in Portimaõ city, enjoying the sights. You were happy that the boys listened to your request, however, Bernardo still found a way to get on your nerves.

"Nah, let's go to a bar, I'm starving." He said.

Ruben looked conflicted, standing between the two of you. "Um...how about Bernardo and I get a table at the nearest bar. We'll text you where to go once you return from the market." He said, like the diplomat he was.

"What, no." You objected. You really wanted Ruben's help picking out the right gift for your parents anniversary that was coming up. Guess he didn't care enough about it to help you.

"Don't make that face Y/N." Bernardo sighed.

"What face? " You hissed.

"That lost puppy dog face that you always pulled when you wanted mom and to feel sorry for you."

"I did not!"

"You did too!"

"Hey, guys. Come on, let's not fight."

"She started it."

Ruben gestured for Bernardo to go ahead whilst he had a quick chat with you.

"I'm not going to a bar with him." You firmly stated.

Ruben nodded understandingly. "How about I'll meet you at the concert? Remember, it will only be you and me."

It was true, you had only bought two tickets and they were for you and Ruben.

"Fine." You pouted. Ruben took the opportunity to bend down and kiss you, the first one since this morning.

"Why don't you kiss me in front of Bernardo?" You asked, as the thought struck you.

"You know...." He mumbled. "...he's your brother and I'm his best friend...plus he just broke up with his girlfriend. I wouldn't want to do anything to upset him."

It never struck you until now how you and Ruben's relationship might make Bernardo feel. Ruben was his best friend after all. But it wasn't like Bernardo had been against your relationship. Your sister on the other hand...."

"But don't worry." Ruben said, pecking your lips once more. "I promise to pay you back tonight, after the concert."

"Promise?"

He brought your knuckles to his lips. People passing by smiled at the way Ruben kissed your hand, it was almost embarrassing.

"I promise." He said and left you to do your shopping.

The night came around. You and Ruben had a great time at the concert. However, you couldn't wait to get him home and all to yourself. Change of plans however, seeing as the driveway to the villa was packed with cars, making it impossible for you and Ruben to get through.

"What is this?" You asked, voice rising in disbelief. "Did you guys throw a party without telling me?"

Ruben shook his head, looking just as confused as you felt. "I didn't know anything about it," he replied. "I thought we were going straight home."

"Bernardo!"

Stepping into the house you shouted at the top if your lungs.

"Bernardo!"

"Maybe he's upstairs." Ruben said. But how could he even tell upstairs from downstairs. The whole villa had been turned upside down, a full blown party going on in every corner of the house, even the backyard was full of strangers diving in the pool.

"Who are these people?" You asked. Ruben held your hand, clearing the path ahead of you.

"I don't know, better ask your brother."

As the two of you made your way into the living room, you found Bernardo lying on the couch, passed out drunk. His shirt was stained with spilled drinks and his shoes were scattered across the floor. A group of strangers stood around him, laughing and talking over the music. Your anger boiled over. Luckily you weren't the only one.

"Get out!!!"

The music was cut off, with the crowds attention turning to the angry woman with the chord to the speakers in her hand. "Anita." You gasped, suprisgly happy to see your sister.

"Everybody out of my fucking house!"

She did not have to tell them twice. The crowd slowly scattered from the villa like ants running from a boot, leaving the house in ruins. You began picking up empty bottles and redistributing them to the guests to throw on their way out. Ruben helped by ushering people towards the door, politely but firmly asking them to leave. As the crowd finally dwindled, you noticed Bernardo stirring on the couch.

"Hey, sis," he slurred, trying to sit up. "What time is it?"

"Bernardo, what did you do?" You said, not really knowing what to feel. You were mostly disappointed. Just then Anita entered the room. "I told mom and dad not to trust you two idiots with the house. I mean look what these people have done to mom's favorite vase." She held up the piece, it was broken in two.

"Anita I swear, I didn't..."

"I don't want to hear it." She said. "Let's just clean up this mess before mom and dad gets here."

"Wait?" You frowned. "Mom and dad are coming?"

"Where else are they supposed to spend their anniversary?"

"Great, a family reunion." Bernardo groaned from where he lay on the couch.

"You have a fucking problem Bernie. I suggest you seak some fucking help." Both you and Anita regarded him in disgust. Ruben was the only one who seemed sympathetic to the situation. He helped Bernardo to his feet, escorting him to his room. They even laughed about it on their way there. You made the mental note to talk to him about it.

As the last of the guests left, you locked the doors behind them, collapsing onto the couch, exhausted.

"Don't think I'm not disappointed in you too." Anita said, joining you on the couch. She was kind enough to hand you a glass of water with her side of insults.

"What did I do?" You asked.

"How could you leave Bernardo alone in this house, you know that he is bound to do somthing like this."

"Excuse me, but since when was I elected to be Bernardo's babysitter. He's my big brother not the other way around"

"Please Y/N, we all said we would take our turn once he got out of rehab."

"What?" You frowned, now you were really lost. "Rehab, when did Bernardo go to rehab?"

"Um...about six months ago when he got suspended from his football team. He got out last month. He's been living with your boyfriend every since."

"Bernardo is living with Ruben?

"Why are you acting like it's your first time hearing any of this?"

"B...because it is." You stuttered. No one has told you anything, not even Ruben.

"Well, mom and dad were the once that told me. Apparently Bernardo has been struggling with alcohol. His doctors says he's showing signs of depression."

"Really?" A slight sense of guilt washed over you. But most importantly you wanted to know why Ruben hadn't told you any of this.

"Clearly rehab did nothing for him."

"What are you even doing here Anita?" Her astonishing ability to be cruel reminded you of why you two didn't speak that often.

"I'm here for mom and dad's anniversary of course. Thomas is driving them down here for the party were throwning them."

"Thomas is coming?" Thomas, as in your first love who is now in a steady relationship with your big sister.

"Yes. Thomas, his parents, cousin Giulia and her kids. Everyone is coming.

Great, you thought. Your hopes of spending a peaceful holiday with Ruben were officially over. Turns out it was over before he even got there.
