He is autistic, and you've been dating for five months. He has difficulty expressing his emotions and he had never told you he loved you. Despite those limitations, you still loved him deeply. You were lying with your head in his lap, lost in the moment as he gently ran his fingers through your hair. This type of affectionate gesture, coming from him, was a rare occurrence, and you savored every moment, enjoying the feeling of warmth and comfort it brought.

"I... I really like you." He whispered, continuing to stroke your hair with careful motions.
