The point is Lelouch always treats Kallen as a friend, whether he's at school or whether he's being Zero. That's why in 13 he tells her what the future holds and tells her she can just walk out if she likes, and why his thank you "was from the bottom of my heart" as Lelouch puts it in the best phrase awards on DVD magazine I.

That's why he acts like a jerk in front of her in the cave at the end of 25. That's why he keeps teasing her at school. And that's why he trusts her with the Guren Nishiki (see episode 9 preview)

In other words he readily goes out of his way and actually hurts himself to try and make her happier, just like with Shirley or Rivalz or Euphie. That didn't change because she's also his subordinate.
