A/N: So I watched the first couple episodes of Sword Art Online and also could not help but notice the lack of Fan-fictions. So I... The-Obsidian will grant you all a story of Epicosity and Awesome.


Sword Art Online: The Brotherhood

Introduction: The Year is 2025 and the grand release of one of the most anticipated games of the century. The Release of Sword Art Online this game is activated via nerve-gear and a hard copy that installs the game into your NerveGear. The NerveGear is a device that controls your brains sensory parts ranging from, sight, touch, smell, hearing, and even taste. This process also pretty much deactivates your body. Putting you in something of a comatose state until the user logs out. Today is the day that Gabriel, Older brother of Keita and Canadian born citizen, bought two hard-copies of the game and was first in line three days prior to the launch. He ate nothing, he drank nothing, he did nothing for three days straight. Standing right in front of the doors for some time. He only got the second copy because he was first in line and rewarded with an extra copy for his younger brother.

The grand launch of one of the greatest video games of all time, and it wasn't even being launched in North America, and especially not Canada. The feeling was heart-wrenching. However, he learned Japanese in the matter of a year or two. Still, it was far from perfect.

"Oniichan?" His brother called to him, and the North American teen carefully set the bulky helmet on his nightstand, there was still a couple hours to launch, after some thought he was surprised that he could get his hands on one of ten-thousand copies of this game. Perhaps it was destiny.

"Yes?" He slowly turned his head to face Keita who was standing with his arms crossed while leaning against the door frame.

"What're you going to specialize in, on the inside of the game?" He asked his older brother.

"What am I gonna specialize in squirt?" He grinned, and laid down on his bed. Against the opposite wall from Keita. "I dunno." He said and rested his arms behind his head for a few moments.

"You should eat before you start playing." Keita stated, he was honestly concerned for his older brother's well-being.

Gabriel, changed the subject as he realized this, because he didn't want little Keita to feel worried. "Hey, what's your username gonna be?" He asked, and patted his little Keita on the head. He was a whole head taller than him.

His little brother's cheeks turned a slight red, he didn't know. "Keita." He mumbled.

"And you're going to play as a character slightly taller than your own?" He asked with a smirk and ruffled his little Keita's hair. Interestingly, Keita had been a beta-tester, and Gabriel hadn't. So his little brother had a little more experience in Sword Art Online than him because of that, but it was Keita's first time, and Gabriel was an experienced MMORPG Player, but this was his first VRMMORPG.

Keita brushed Gabriel's hand off the top of his head. "Oniichan? Did you zone out again?" The boy asked Gabriel, who suddenly snapped out of his thoughts.

"Yeah... sorry Keita, I have a lot to think about." He said, ruffling Keita's hair again. He brushed past the his little Keita to go downstairs and order pizza.

After a couple of minutes, Keita followed him. The activation of the server wasn't for another two hours, at 1:00PM. So pizza sounded nice.

After a couple of minutes though, Keita peaked his head around the corner, and looked at Gabriel patiently sitting at the table, his hands were folded and his posture was as perfect as always. "Oniichan?" Keita asked, and Gabriel slowly turned his head towards his little brother, wearing the same passive expression as always.

"Yes, Keita?" He asked, his voice was so sad. He was never happy.

"I'm mad at you!" Keita raised his voice, and stomped his feet.

Gabriel instantly felt like he just died because his heart skipped a beat, and he felt his eyes get warmer. "What?!" He exclaimed, and nearly started to hyperventilate. Instead he sucked in a deep breath. "Why?" He asked.

Keita started giggling. "Calm down Oniichan." He was wearing a giddy grin. "You forgot to pick me up from school for the last three days." His smile got even brighter. Which, to a person like Gabriel seemed impossible.

"Oh sorry, I heard about how you 'really really really really really really really' wanted to play Sword Art Online with your big brother, and despite the game being extremely expensive and wallet-thinning, they said that whoever gets to be first in line gets a free set of the Nerve Gear and Sword Art Online Game." He said, with a slight smirk. Now a little calmer.

"I am happy, and I know what you did, you already told me earlier today when I first got home!" Keita started laughing and lunged at Gabriel. He wrapped his arms tightly around his Oniichan, and also dug his cheek into his chest. The heart of his Oniichan was pounding. "I love you Oniichan!" Keita exclaimed, and Keita started sobbing hysterically because he was so happy. "You're the best!"

For the first time since Keita's parents died, Gabriel got all choked up and smiled slightly. As he did this, he hugged his little Keita back and despite how much he wanted to look like he didn't care about anything, he couldn't resist his eyes getting all watery
