Geordi was Data's biggest advocate in his quest to become more Human. Whether he was giving advice on the android's experiments with facial hair, or helping him to install his emotion chip and process his new feelings, Geordi was always happy to help and truly saw Data as a person.

Likewise, Data cared very deeply for Geordi. When Geordi was kidnapped in Generations, Data felt deep guilt for being too stricken with fear to save him. He even offered to trade himself to the Duras sisters for his friend's release. When Geordi was finally returned, he consoled the android, telling him that he was only being Human.

The two also shared an interest in engineering, often running experiments together, when they weren't role-playing Sherlock Holmes and Watson on the holodeck in their free time.

Unfortunately, the duo barely got a chance to say goodbye before Geordi helped Data launch himself toward the Scimitar, ultimately leading to his death. Well, one of them at least. Luckily, Data got to return in Picard's third season, and these two besties finally got the chance to reunite, which was really heartwarming to see.
