Aqua asked me, "Can you act like you love me?"

I have an Aqua FWB that I've been seeing since late May. He moved out West to pursue acting but came back because of COVID. I was with my FWB last night and we got a little drunk. He was holding my hand while in the Uber ride home. We get inside and start making out (fully clothed btw) and then he turns to me, looks at me and says, ( I can’t remember if he said just love or in love) “can you just act like you love me for the next few minutes?”. It really threw me off and because we were drunk I thought I heard him incorrectly so I repeated it back to him. He said it again. Earlier that night I called him out for pulling back and he said he found out that he's going back in a few weeks because he got a gig on a show and is leaving soon. That's when he said he thought that we'd be together.

Backstory: We were doing things like going to the beach with his sister, mini golf, picnics, took me out for my bday etc. so I decided to have a talk about what was going on if I’m hanging around his family because the lines seemed to have gotten a little blurred. He said because his life was unstable (he was living out of his car when he was living on the other coast) and he was going to go back. He said he wouldn’t want to put me through the uncertainty of his life because his life is so unstable right now, when I on the other hand have everything grounded. He said it wasn’t about sex for him but we agreed to keep it casual. Which I was cool with because I had gotten of a LTR before this. Then 2 months later he turned to me and said, "why are you so awesome? you're beautiful, smart, funny. I like you a lot and I don't want casual" you're The last time I saw him before the 'act like you love me' night I had told him I was craving certain foods and he surprised me with me all the ingredients to cook at my place - he's a really sweet guy and we clearly get along.

So why did he ask for me to act like I loved him? Did he just request for me to act like I love him for an ego stroke or because he just wanted to feel cared for in that moment?
