My kitten doesn't like being licked by my other cat

I brought home an 8 week old kitten last week and he has already met my other cat who is 7 months old. He is very playful and has so much energy. Whenever he is awake he wants to play and constantly bothers my older cat by swatting and biting her even when she doesn't want to play. My older cat tries to lick him but he doesn't let her. He doesn't really clean himself after going toilet so the older one is always trying to clean him. He is also aggressive with me and my husband, he bites us if we try to pet him.. unless he has just woken up from his sleep.

Does anyone have any advice on why he might not like being touched/licked? We think he may not have socialised with other cats or he may have been separated from his mother too young. But I would really appreciate any advice on how I can get him to be more friendly and sociable with my other cat and with us. Our cats do eat together and play together so they don't hate each other, it's just the aggression that I'm worried about.
