I think Fitz is incredibly oblivious to the fact that at least half of the resons why everyone thought Lord Golden was railing him are squarely on him.
He spends half of his time just staring admiringly at his bestest friend with moony eyes waxing poetically in his head about how pretty and regal and perfect and fashionable he is. How charismatic and personable. How very golden. My guy.
Not just that, he relentlessly fucked up the whole pretending to be a servant thing, so of course everyone said 'oh yeah, definitely secret lovers or else he would be so incredibly fired'. So much for being a trained spy.
