For Lelouch it might have been. When did he ever tell someone else they look beautiful?

Looking back at it, yes. But at that time it was different.

So he treats everyone he cares for as if they were family.

That is what I was saying. Just because he promised to rescue Kallen, it doesn't prove he likes her more than a friend.
