Cielo is: - Tribe - Comrade - Like a grown-up kid brother to him. The kind where they're grown-up so you can trust them to take care of themselves but at the same time they're TOTALLY AN IDIOT WHO CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES UGH and you're the only one allowed to tease them about it.
That said, there's of course MORE TO IT THAN THAT, in that... playing the games, Heat and Cielo don't seem THAT CLOSE TO EACH OTHER right, they aren't each other's choice of hang-out buddy. And you know Heat tried to beat him up when he was on death's door that one time when Sera got kidnapped. But except for that one time? Heat's pretty ... gentle with Cielo. For Heat. Take the attack in the administrative tower. He tried to set Argilla on fire, punched Gale into a glass wall, targetted Serph... and didn't do anything against Cielo. And his first instinct, when Gale snapped and went after Cielo? Was to put himself between Gale and Cielo.
I suspect that there's past-life stuff there. I don't know if O'Brien worked on Cielo at all or if Cielo was before his time/under a different physician. But if he was, then he failed to protect Cielo. If he wasn't, then Cielo is still someone who wasn't saved by the people who should be under his care -- something we see how important it is to him with baby Sera.
SO I WONDER IF THAT FEEDS INTO IT SOMETIME.
But Heat's still Heat, and so it gets fed through Grown-Up Kid Brother Tribe-Comrade thing instead.
