Bearded Dragon Egg

Hello!
I recently purchased 2 bearded dragons from the pet store. I have always wanted one and planned on getting one when my boyfriend and I move out in a couple of weeks, and we had tickets to attend a reptile expo where I was hoping to find a white morph. But then we went to the pet store to pick up a few things for our geckos and I saw their bearded dragons were 50% off. I knew it was impulsive but they were so precious and I thought I would be able to save quite a bit of money because reptiles at expos are generally pretty expensive. There were only 2 juveniles in the tank (which the animal lover in me could not handle separating) and my boyfriend mentioned that he would purchase the other one and we could keep them together.
But I'm worried...the other day I noticed one of them had a cut on their tail, and I realized I didn't even think to check out if they had any marks on them so I have no clue if this was from while they were still at the pet store. I was nervous maybe one of them was aggressive with the other and even though I have never seen any bad behavior from either of them, I can't stop thinking about it.
So I am wondering, have people had positive experiences with keeping 2 bearded dragons together? Or even keeping 2 males together? I am unsure of their sexes yet (but I have think one is male and one is female, but i am scared just in case they both end up male), and right now they are hanging out in a 25 gallon tank until we move and i would like to build them their own tank by re purposing an old entertainment center I have. They genuinely seem fine together, and I was hoping that because they have been housed together previously and will grow up together it will be okay but I would hate myself forever if something bad happened to one of them.
I uploaded a picture of them where they look fine, they lay on top of each other all the time which I hope is a good sign. They wave to each other a lot and I have never seen and head bobbing but I am sure because they are just little ones there is no real aggression yet, compared to adults.
Any stories or advice would be super appreciated!!
