My best friend from college. I've literally slept on his couch twice, and he's had my back both of the times I ended up stranded car-less miles from campus.

I guess it's easy to rely on him for travel arrangements because he lives so close to campus, so he's always willing to take me to the nearest airport or whatever. But more than that I know either one of us would do anything in our power to have the other's back.

How we met is a great story: I posted in the class Facebook group about baseball, and he said something like "Hey, I like baseball. We should meet for lunch." After that we saw each other every day for around 3 months. We were instant best friends, basically. Since then I've probably spent more time in his room than in mine, and I definitely know his roommate better than mine. I miss being able to see him--and all my friends--so easily and so frequently.
