Every time Heero came home late it was always some excuse. "I had to work late." "Traffic was heavy." "I had a meeting." "I gave my coworker a ride home." Or Duo's favorite: "I needed some time to myself." Duo knew that sometimes his boyfriend's job required extra hours. The funny thing was, he used to call when he'd be late.

Duo wasn't stupid. He knew exactly what was going on. He knew exactly who Heero was with. But he tried not to think about it and he never confronted him. The truth was he loved Heero and he didn't want to leave him. And he never wanted Heero to admit the truth because, as twisted as it was, as long as Heero lied Duo felt they had something worth living for.
