He came over to my side of the bed last night & put his arm around me. Then a minute later he said he'd woken up to snuggling with me. I said -"you must have been sleep snuggling." Then there was a bit of a pause & I said, "do you want to take it back?" And he said no. So then we held hands until he moved later after we'd both fallen asleep.

Who know. Keep acting AS IF. Don't ask if he intends to treat you nicely. Just act like he did and it will become natural.
