^^Ok so after watching Civil War I too was curious about how much $3 is in today's money and finding out it's over $50 made me laugh so much my family was concerned but yeah, Bucky is not good at Carnival games XD

"Guys! Guys! Guys!" Clint sprinted into the communal room at breakfast time, causing all of the Avengers to pause eating and stare at him.
"Hey Cli-"
"No time for that (y/n) the carnival's in town, the carnival!" Clint jumped around like an excited child, causing Tony to roll his eyes but everyone else was pleased to see him so enthusiastic.
"And?" Bucky shoved another mouthful of Lucky Charms into his mouth.
"And the carnival is amazing and I haven't gone in ages so we have to go!" He practically begged.
"Well, me and Vis have something planned today so we can't go." Wanda said nervously which caused everyone to 'Ohhhh!' and cat whistle.
"Stop it now guys. I'd love to go Clint." everyone did as Nat said because they knew how 'persuasive' she could be.
"I tend to avoid anything with large crowds of people and uh-uh- flashing lights and loud noises." Bruce fiddled with his fingers and looked away, ashamed.
"That's ok angry cucumber, I'm not too keen on flashing lights either. For different reasons but I'll stay with you. We can do some science." Tony Stark got up from the large oval table and pulled Bruce into an awkward side-hug, you couldn't help but smile.
"Well, me and Buck haven't gone to a carnival in years, I think it's about time we went to one again." Steve looked at Bucky for confirmation, he got a small nod as an answer.
"Fantastic! Whoever wants to go can meet me in the lobby at 6:00pm sharp. Hawkeye, away!" Clint stuck out his right arm and pretended to fly away which caused everyone to laugh, except your rather moody boyfriend.
One by one the Avenger's had finished their breakfast and went to go do whatever it is that Avengers do, leaving you and Bucky alone in the communal room. You grabbed your bowl and stood up.
"Hey, looking forward to the carnival?" you walked over to the other side of the table so you were standing by Bucky. His head was in his hands and he seemed even more down than usual.
"Yeah, well... Sorta." he used his right hand to trace a pattern on the table. You knew your boyfriend so you could tell that he was holding something back.
"Come on Buck, if you've got something on your mind you know you can always tell me." you place your bowl on the table and pull up a chair next to him. Rubbing circles on his back you say "If you don't wanna go we can stay here." softly in his ear.
"No I saw how your eyes lit up when Clint mentioned it, I saw the same light in Steve's too. Heck, I even felt a small part of me light up. I want to go I'm just concerned about other people seeing me." Bucky abruptly stood up and began to walk off, meaning you had to play catch-up.
"Bucky! Bucky please!" you stride after him, wanting to comfort him. He stops in his tracks and turns around to face you.
"I can't understand what you've gone through, what you're going through right now but I'm here for you, and if anyone stares at you I'll sort em' out." you were serious at first but then you began to kid with him, and to your surprise that earned you a sweet kiss.
He pulled away and whispered "What would I do without you?" causing you to blush.
"Get a room already!" you spun around and saw Tony standing in the door frame but before you knew it he backed off with fear in his eyes; you were puzzled until you saw Bucky.
