I can see Scott and Nicki becoming good friends merely because they'll be so in-touch with each other and have a lot of empathy for each other.

Scott will have immunity against Nicki's snide remarks and cynicism (along with someone who he can talk to about Psyche addictions and how being too smart isn't always a good thing) whilst Nicki doesn't get any sexist remarks and is treated with a decent amount of respect; it'd be a mutual relationship.

Unfortunately, Nicki doesn't see the point in love, so that's a no-go.
