HAHAAAA

Man, this really is tl;cr, but long story short... Xiaolang does not like Al.

Granted, their reconciliation thread is still in progress, so the intensity of his dislike may fade after that... but Al's had so many strikes against him at this point that fully forgiving him might be a while. Xiaolang has absolutely no idea what Al had went through during the AU switch, so from his perspective, the fact that Al absolutely snapped when he shut down what he (assumed) was flirting gave him... the completely wrong idea about the guy. Because he doesn't want Sakura to be stuck dealing with a person who reacts violently when she says something that they don't like! And especially not throwing something that's made her cry in private straight to her face!!

So Al already has a massive strike against him for that! Granted, Xiaolang knows what he tried to do to Al during the event was wrong, even with the influence of the virus and his intense dislike of him, and he's not entirely proud of that-- but contrary to what Al believes, he most definitely does not want to kill him. What Xiaolang does when he dislikes people is that he ignores them, or at least outright avoids them, but!! Al keeps butting into things!! And trying to talk to him!! And making things worse!!!! And so of course Xiaolang's going to be testy with him, and mean (although he really is lapsing into bad habits), and getting punched in the stomach by him (however well-intentioned) really... made things worse

Of course, he's too naive to really grasp the full scope of what Al could have done to him, but he's wary enough about him that he doesn't trust him around Sakura... and he's even warned her about him too! So he's pissed that they met up without him knowing (pissed at Al, not Sakura... Sakura never listening to his warnings is a sad, universal consistent), not because he was trying to keep it a secret, but he just-- does not trust Al around her, at all.

Again, talking some of this out will lessen some of his dislike, but he'll never truly be able to shake off the salt. (And boy, once Rean tells him what AL told him about their feud....)
