Nicknames usually come from times spent feeling emotions with friends. Me and some mates were watching the lottery when one of them mimicked the voiceover man's voice perfectly, from then on James became 'Lotto' for a week or so. Very silly.
Just have fun with your friends and a nickname may arrive. It's sort of like love; you probably wont find it if you look for it because it comes when you least expect it.
You can call them as your best friend. A friend you care for but only as a friend.
