Fighting or flirting?

Some context: P. vittatus, 0.0.2, >2 years old housed together since November.

This "aggressive" behavior is only exhibited by the smaller one while the larger one just sits there and takes it. The larger one is about 6 months older and has been seen making calls a few times a week. I see both hunt, eat, climb, explore, etc. independently as well as spending ample time around eachother seemingly unbothered.

Anyway, the little one will jump onto the other and mess around for less than a minute then they'll both go back to doing whatever - as quick as the interaction in the video. Is this bad aggression or horny aggression?
