They are both dependent on each other's friendship and support throughout the novel. Their co-dependence turns out to be rather uhealthy.They both value each other's strengths (Gene - intellectualism; Finny - athleticism). They are both competitive but in different things. There seems to be undercurrents of a homoerotic relationship between the two.
