Okay, this is my first Teen Titans story (that I've uploaded). This story is pretty much going to be a collection of oneshots based on one-word emotions Raven is possible of feeling. I already have, like, seven of these in my notebook so you can expect more soon. Not all of them will be BBRae centered, but I'm positive the majority will have at least a scrap here and there because I just can't resist that ship.

I mean, OTP, man. Or ∞tp. (Haha infinity sign. Get it? Huh? Get it?)

Ugh, whateves. Enjoy the BBRae-ness ;)

- Calm -

Raven watched Beast Boy with silent concern as the changeling beat on the workout room's punching bag aggressively. She was tempted to offer some comfort, but she decided it was wiser to wait until he was done blowing off steam. After all, he was currently blinded by rage, and she wasn't sure how he'd react if she just walked over unexpectedly in the middle his tantrum.

Beast Boy's curled fist pounded the bag for the umpteenth time, except the trajectory of this punch wasn't calculated very well and his knuckles accidentally scraped across the vinyl, tearing both his gloves and his green skin at the same time. Beast Boy cried with pain, clutching his injured hand and complaining loudly, "OW!"

Raven saw this as good a time as any to step in. Cautiously, the empath walked up to the boy, placing a hand on his tense shoulder. "Need a healing hand?" she asked, eyeing the blood from the scratch.

Beast Boy sighed, reluctantly holding his bloodied hand out towards her. "Yeah...," he said unhappily.

Raven took his hand in hers, closing her eyes as the familiar blue glow of her healing powers engulfed the wound. Within moments, his hand was free of injury and even his glove was fixed and restored to its former glory.

"Hmm," Beast Boy said, a weak smile forming. "Didn't know you could sew, too."

Raven let his hand go, opening her eyes under her cloak's hood. "Beast Boy, can I suggest something?" she asked, monotone as always.

"What?" he replied.

"Come with me." Taking his arm, Raven surrounded them both in black energy and teleported them into her dark bedroom.

Beast Boy's eyes bugged out of his head as soon as he saw where they were. "AHH!" he squeaked. "I-I'm in your room! I'm in YOUR room!"

"Yes, you're in my room," Raven deadpanned. "I'm making an exception for today and today only." She led him into the center of the room and sat in a lotus position on the floor. "Sit."

Beast Boy sat beside her, fidgeting anxiously.

"Now," Raven began. "I've noticed how upset you are, alright?"

Beast Boy looked away.

"Don't be embarrassed," Raven said, her flat voice genuine. "You have every right to be upset once in a while. You just need to learn a better way to deal with it than self-harm."

"I didn't mean to-"

"I know," Raven interrupted, her hand finding his shoulder again. "But, regardless, hitting things and hurting yourself are bad ways to handle such intense emotions."

"What do you know about handling emotions?" Beast Boy suddenly snapped. "You don't even have emotions!" He stopped, his emerald eyes widening as he realized what he'd just said. "I-I'm sorry, Rae, that was uncalled for. I know you have emotions...I was just...I'm sorry, I didn't mean that."

Raven stared solemnly at the wall, nodding her head to show him she accepted his apology. Instead of responding, she changed the subject. After all, he was speaking out of anger and wasn't thinking rationally...not that he usually did, but now he was thinking less than normal, which wasn't a lot.

"Close your eyes," was all she said as a follow-up.

"A-are you going to hurt me?" Beast Boy stammered, flinching away. His assumption was understandable, given his last comment.

"No," Raven assured him. "We're going to meditate to calm you down. Get in a lotus position."

"W-what?"

"Sit like I am," Raven explained patiently, mentally chastising herself for forgetting that Beast Boy constantly needed things dumbed down. "Cross your legs and then tuck your feet under them."

"You mean, like an advanced criss-cross applesauce?" Beast Boy asked.

Raven sweatdropped. "Sure, whatever. Just do it."

After a few awkward tries and fails, Beast Boy succeeded in getting into the lotus position. "Now what?" he asked eagerly.

"Now pinch your index fingers and your thumbs together like this." Raven demonstrated for him. "Kind of like an upside down OK symbol. Then hold your hands over your knees."

Beast Boy grimaced. "Can I hold my hands on my knees?" he begged hopefully. "I just know my arms are gonna get tired if they have to hang in the air the entire time."

"Go ahead." Raven waited for him to do so before continuing with her instruction. "Now, find your center," she said calmly, "and please don't press your hand to the center of your chest. I swear, if you do..."

Grinning with embarrassment, Beast Boy removed his hand from the place over his heart. "O-of course not," he said quickly.

Raven shook her head, annoyed with the green teenager's ignorance. "To find your center, you want to look inside yourself," she said. "Don't find your literal center, but the center of your soul. I know it may not make sense to you, but try anyway. We'll start meditating once you're ready."

"I-I'm ready...I think," Beast Boy said, not sounding as confident as he'd been hoping.

Raven rolled her eyes, but started to recite her infamous mantra anyway. "Azarath...Metrion...Zinthos..." She began to hover a few feet in the air.

Beast Boy squeezed his eyes shut, chanting the mantra in sync with her. "Azarath...Metrion...Zinthos..." He couldn't fly like Raven could since he was in his human state and not one of his animal forms, so he continued to sit on the floor. However, never breaking her concentration on her meditation, Raven conjured up a disc of black energy underneath him, lifting him up to her height. Beast Boy peeked open one eye, glancing down at the disc and then over at Raven. He grinned, a sharp fang poking out over the left corner of his lip. Then he closed his eyes and continued the mantra, his smile never leaving.

What had he been upset about again?

Okay, done! It's up to you to decide what had Beast Boy so agitated. I'm not even sure myself. Maybe something Slade related, I dunno. Also, I hope you noticed that I put the word "calm" in bold every time it came up. That was just for effect. ;)

Anywhooo, don't forget to review! (hey that rhymed :3)
