fast friends

Quickly bonded allies

Fast friends are people bound by strong, loyal friendship.

The fast here means firmly fixed or secure—the same sense as holding fast or standing fast.

Two people who become fast friends form a close bond quickly or maintain one that feels unshakeable: They met at summer camp and became fast friends.
