Two can be harder to work with but they will also have each other for companionship when you are not available. I, personally, keep my lovies in pairs (if that's what they want) and both will be friendly as long as I pay attention to them.
For now, the safest place for them is in their cage and that's where they feel safest based on what you are saying. Talk to them, sing to them, eat meals near their cage. Chances are they will also eat when they see you eating. Lovebirds are very social! You will begin to find that they will not move away when you do something in their cage. Wear a chain or something to attract their attention and it will spark their curiosity.
Sounds like these 2 get along fairly well and you may or may not have a true pair. Males tend to be happy campers together and get along very well (usually) when kept together. I've seen female pairs that get along but that's not always the case. Should these 2 begin to squabble as they mature, it might be necessary to separate them. Lovebirds are very capable of killing a cage mate!
Hope this is helpful.
