[ It was a pretty great idea that made a lot of sense.
They were already roommates and they got along well, and Yelena is one of the people on the station he trusts most, so. It's got nothing to do with the fact that β no, you know what, we're definitely not going to think about that right now.
... even when they've agreed to a cover story that blatantly brings those thoughts up to the forefront at every turn.
But it's fine, you know, it's cool, he's cool β this is a plan that couldn't go wrong. At all.
They find a two-person apartment in one of a number of dormitory neighbourhoods at Archway University and make their base of operations there, just another facet of their cover. It turns out it isn't too hard to fake being a student, finding a way to gain an ID, and blend into the student-body. Classes, essays, labs: that's all the required stuff β and then there's a whole lot of free time in between for a student to 'live their life' and explore the city on their own. It's almost too easy.
Shang-chi has never been to post-secondary though, so it takes a couple of false starts and a few stupid questions, but after a week of fumbling he thinks he's pretty much got the hang of it. Some of his classes are even interesting.
This morning, he packs up his bag (which is really only a digital-tablet and a bottle of lunch-pills) and makes his way over to Yelena's room, sets a couple of knocks against her door before he waits.

When she opens the door, he offers her a smile. ]
