My boyfriend raised his fist at me on reflex after we where goofing around?

I can’t really remember what was going on before but nothing bad was going on. No arguing, no fighting whatsoever. I remember we were at my place at night goofing around in my living room when I kind of came at my boyfriend from behind and he turned around with his fist up in the air. He didn’t swing but he just looked at me shocked when he saw me and put his fist down. He told me it was a reflex for he wasn’t expecting what I did and that he never would’ve swung or hit me. He even started crying when I told him how scared I was and told me that he didn’t want to become his father (that night I learned that his father was abusive in a way to him and his mother). He’s never hit me nor threatened me. He treats me so well and I’m 100% sure he didn’t mean it because on the look on his face when he saw me. I know it wasn’t out of aggression either because there was no arguing beforehand, just banter and horseplay. Should I just forgive this and move on?
