The two of them chose their ideals over each other. But the trust they built and the emotions they held towards each other... all of it still mattered. Even though it ended in tragedy, they still deeply impacted each other's lives. We get to see a lot of how it affected Gojo, but we don't see much from Geto because he's dead. It can seem pretty one-sided from Gojo's end, but from the few glimpses we get of how Geto was affected, I'd like to believe otherwise.

The robes that Geto was wearing are known as gojo-kesa (the same "gojo" as "gojo satoru"). We don't know if he was aware of that fact, but Akutami deliberately chose to tie Geto back to Gojo this way.

Additionally, when Gojo called out to Geto before getting sealed, the latter's body responded to choke out Kenjaku, who said that something like this happening was a first for him. Akutami later said that Geto's body responding was similar to the twitching of a dragonfly that had just died. That means Geto's body was responding on an instinctual/reflexive level. This only makes sense if he still cared about Gojo on some fundamental level.

On the character sheets for the Hidden Inventory Arc, Akutami drew Gojo and Geto within the outline of two hands, with one of the hands reaching out for the other one. One of the covers for Ao no Sumika features two hands with their fingertips barely touching. The first ending for JJK S2 has a shot where Gojo and Geto are sitting on a bench with their hands turned towards each other, but there's a noticeable gap.

Their hands never quite touched and they missed each other by a hair... but the fact they missed means that they started out by reaching for each other.
