What was the relationship between Pisistratus and Telemachus?

The relationship Telemachus and Pisistratus have is a very close friendship. This shows a lot in the Odyssey. One time is when Telemachus kicks Pisistratus to wake him up. This is a sign that they're like brothers. If Telemachus and Pisistratus weren't friends, and Pisistratus was simply a guest for Telemachus, Telemachus wouldn't have kicked Pisistratus. Another time it is shown is when Telemachus is talking to Pisistratus and Pisistratus is telling Telemachus that he has to get home or Nestor, his father will kill him (to put it in modern terms). This gives the reader an idea of how the two young men have a good connection and can just talk to each other like that.
