pitch black and quite silent

On New Year's Eve, I went home at around two in the morning. It was pitch black and quite silent. I bumped into one of my neighbors in the courtyard, he was leaving and I was coming in. I think he was holding a Slurpee. I wished him a happy new year and he wished it back, then asked me my name. I gave it and he told me his.

There was a short awkward moment and I turned to go, but he called out, Wait! I looked back expectantly, and there was another pause, and then he said, "Can I have a hug?"

Huh. Not sure what to think about that? What was the overall vibe? Could be sweet, could be creepy...

Happy New Year by the way.
