R & R'ed at gurabite, but I must say more. That's a beautiful way to propose. I've always loved walking the beach in the rain. Typically, nobody else is around and it's beautiful watching storms over water. It seemed perfect to play in the water and the rain when they were planning to swim!

The two of them make a very sweet couple. Ayaka's thoughts of her role with Eiri and not playing felt dead-on and made me happy for her that she didn't marry him. I liked the added details about evading Bad Luck fans, too. Great story!

Additionally, what a terrific response to the challenge-- you had tears and rain with joy! In retrospect, I could have put most of this on the gurabite review but at the time I was focusing on the proposal and I didn't want to ruin the ending for other readers. ^_^;

I found two very minor typos:
1. ...enjoying to sensation of sand between his toes.
2. He parents hardly ever let her...

As for Gravitation fics and drugs... UG. There are a couple of them right now. Notice they aren't very popular? >_> They're poorly written, too.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks for coming up with the challenge, it was fun. :)

It's sort of funny, I wrote the story not knowing exactly what I was going to do with it, and then they were on the beach and I thought, 'wouldn't it be sweet it Hiro proposed,' and then realized there was no reason he couldn't. :)

The bit with Eiri wasn't there in the first draft, but my friend thought there needed to be more build-up before Hiro popped the question. So, I'm glad to hear that it worked out better this way.

Whoopsie! I even thought I'd fixed that second one already. Thank you very muchly. :)

I don't even get the Gravi drug fics. I guess drugs don't fit with the flavor I get from the series. But I guess they are rock stars... I dunno.

Genesis, don't you remember me? ;-; My most wonderful K-san?
