Mounting Behavior

Both are neutered but the younger of the two grabs the back of the older ones neck as though to hold him in place and attempts to stand on his back while the older one hisses and growls in protest. What is up with that? It seems almost as if there’s a mating attempt happening. I’m pretty much done with trying to understand cat play ‍

It sounds more like an effort to dominate, hopefully just in play. Do they get along otherwise?
