I don't think Tom Paris is a good friend to Harry Kim, he is constantly knocking him down a peg for no reason.
I think that Paris was envious of many attributes of Kim. Kim had a clean Star Fleet record, very good advancement potential, happy family upbringing, and long-term romantic relationship (with a girl back home). These are things Paris craved but his bravado certainly wouldn't let him admit to anybody (possibly even to himself). So Paris had a love/hate, or more a like/dislike thing going on in his relationship with Kim.
