Because that is Firo's role now. He is her Panem brother. There is no escape.
In more seriousness: they clicked as soon as they met, and they've only got closer since. Éowyn is still baffled by a lot of things about Firo, from the way he speaks to the basic foundations of his world, but she's adopted him as a brother and she'd fight to the death for him. He's also one of the only people in this world who she genuinely, absolutely trusts: especially since that time they got drunk together, she's felt able to talk to him about anything she really needs to get off her chest, since he already knows her secrets.
She was really deeply touched by him setting up the Western movie night, and she feels like she owes him for that; he thought about her and went out of his way to make her feel better even though she hadn't said anything about it, and that kind of thing means a lot.
Originally, she definitely thought of him as a lot younger than her, partly because he looks like a kid and partly because she feels older than she is. But as time's gone on, she's accepted him more and more as an equal (which is pretty fitting, because they actually aren't that different in age - three or four years, tops). That was kind of fixed for her when they had that run-in with the Théoden-ghost. So she's still very protective of him, but as a friend rather than as a responsible adult.
She also appreciates having someone else she knows feels the same way about the Capitol, and someone who had the guts to admit to it straight out. That's part of why she feels able to trust him with so much of her emotional baggage.
He's one of the few things about this world she'd be really, genuinely sad to leave behind.
