Tom Paris and Harry Kim first met onboard DS9, when Paris helped Kim avoid getting scammed by Quark.
Later, when Paris first arrived on Voyager, much of the crew disagreed with his presence due to his history of causing an accident that killed three people, before briefly joining the Maquis. The original First Officer and CMO refused to even speak to him, but Harry knew that Tom had a good heart and told him, 'I don't need anyone to choose my friends for me.'
Their bond only grew after Caretaker. The two would frequently talk about relationships, and eventually, Paris began to design his own holodeck programs like The Adventures Of Captain Proton (based on vintage 1950s sci-fi), which he and Kim would play through together constantly. Paris always claimed that the program was meant to be a historical analysis of how past Humans thought the future would look, but we all know he just wanted to spend time with his friend.
