"So did you really want to go see the Eiffel Tower or is there some big secret you're keeping from me?" Bucky asked as they walked to the tower.

"Well, yes?" Steve said.

"Yes to which one?"

"Both? Kinda..... I guess?"

Bucky laughed. "You guess?"

"Yeah?"

"If you say so, Steve."

"Ugh this is so pathetic." Natasha whispered.

"You're the one who said we just had to follow them!" Tony said.

"Yeah but they just make everything so much harder! Why can't they just admit they love each other and go raise some chickens on a farm and then make them join their band!"

"I'm sorry...... what?" Clint asked.

"I don't know! I'm just trying to make a point!"

"About chickens in a..... band?"

"Shut up."

"Behold! The Eiffel Tower! The famous thing of Paris or something like that." Bucky said when they got to the Eiffel Tower.

"The most romantic sight in the world." Natasha whispered as if telling him what to say.

"Are you Okay?" Steve asked with a laugh.

"I honestly don't know. Wanna climb to the top or something?"

"You mean take the stairs right?"

"Yes."

"Then yes. I'd like that."

"Okay." Bucky said and started heading up the stairs.

They stopped about half way to take a break. They walked over to the edge to see how high they were.

"Holy shit were high...." Bucky said backing away from the edge slowly.

"Yeah.... you okay Buck?" Steve asked turning around to see a very pale Bucky.

"Yeah yeah I'm- im fine. I just have a mild- well not mild more like sever case of a-acrophobia. Which- well which in normal terms is just a fear of hei-heights. You know falling off a train and losing an arm will do that to you." He explained with a nervous laugh. "L-let's just keep going. We're almost to the top anyways. I'll be fine."

"Buck-buck-Bucky!" Steve said grabbing his hand and pulling him closer as Bucky went to keep walking up.

"It's me. Just me. Sit down and take a minute to breath. I've got you- I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you. I promise." He whispered pulling him down to sit on the floor.

"Look, we can go back down, Bucky. It's okay I won't care."

Bucky shook his head.

"No. Let's go the rest of the way. We're almost at the top anyways. I'll just stay away from the edge and I'll be fine." Bucky said.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Let's go." Bucky said standing up with a shaky breath.

Steve stood up and went to let go of buckys hand but before he could Bucky just tightened his grip.

"Just don't let go. Not yet at least." Bucky whispered.

"Okay." Steve said with a small smile and they slowly walked up the rest of the way.

"I'm gonna go look at the view, buck. Okay?" Steve said when they got to the top.

"Okay." Bucky said letting go of his hand.
