Personally I think Rumple simply considers Milah & Killian to be true love, as it sort of lessens the blow of her choosing to run off with a pirate if it’s TL. I dont consider anyone to be TL until I see it confirmed either by TLK or A&E tell us they are TL (neither of which has happened for Milah & Killian, all A&E have said is they loved each other, so yeah.)
I agree that Rumple saw them as True Love (and said he didn’t reliase the power of True Love before). And seeing them is where he got the idea that True Love could be used in the curse. All he had to find was the epitome of TL and we get that with Snowing. Hook himself called Milah his first love, but he obviously loved her so much he was willing to spend hundreds of years trying to find a way to avenge her. That sounds like true love to me. If Charming is to believed TL is hard to come by and worth fighting for. Killian has fought for Emma, he didn’t really *have* to fight for Milah, but that’s not to say he didn’t love her any less. He’s a very passionate pirate. When he falls, he falls hard!
I dont really see it as an act of TL, I just see Killian as being very loyal & passionate to boot 😉 Plus most of his 300yrs was spent in NL looking for away to kill Rumple & stay alive. I believe they truly loved each other- I’m just not sold on it being “TL”.
In all honesty it doesnt bother me if they were TL, I just dont think they were, as we havent had it confirmed. A&E confirmed Daniel was Regina’s TL (a number of times if I’m remembering correctly), so I would have thought they’d have simply said Mialh & Killian were TL if that was the case, when they spoke about them, but they didnt- they just said they loved each other, so thats what I’m basing my opinion on atm 🙂
