Was he in love with you? Yes. Did you upset him today? Yes.

He was currently upset. Reason? Because you've completely devoted yourself to surpassing this bastard... Isagi Yoichi. Why would you give someone else all that attention? You have Ness right here! Take your anger and frustration out on him, he'd be kissing the ground you set foot on anyway! But even so, you were still dead set on destroying Isagi. He wouldn't mind if you destroyed him instead—

"What's more important? playing soccer with me, or beating Isagi!" He asks, his voice slightly raised because of his pent up frustration and jealousy. He would never outright yell at you. But, you look him up and down before speaking the words, "But Ness... I can't beat him alone, please?"

Dot. Dot. Dot. That was enough to get poor Alexis' mind racing, along with his heart. His face goes red and he stares at you puzzled, most likely love struck. Isagi on the side let's out a sigh, "Uh oh, we're losing him." Hiori says. And losing him indeed!
