What's going on, here? Did Straw Hat learn some kind of hidden Haki technique that he doesn't know about? Some magician's spell shit? Some kind of curse? Kid hadn't detected any approaching danger headed his way, nor had he read any malicious intent from the rubber boy, and yet, inexplicably, for a reason he cannot fathom, there's a fresh pain in his chest. A mysterious sharpness he cannot explain. An intense affliction that causes his jaw to reactively clench.
He doesn't trust this little weirdo. He's doing strange things he doesn't understand again.
❝ ...The Hell is this coming from? What are you asking me for? Why should you give a crap what I think about you, anyway? ❞
He didn't know what gave him that impression. If he genuinely disliked him, he would have told him bluntly. Or, you know, tried to kill him. Neither of which he has done with any legitimate sincerity.
Kid has a very distinct way of displaying that he likes someone. It's subtle, but those who know his nature can probably tell that their relationship isn't built on animosity. They're rivals, and Kid is obliged to treat him as such, but that doesn't equate to automatically detesting him as an individual. He would be infinitely more callous if he actually despised him.
