Quick update, pictures to follow.
The morning, Abita moved Leather and Oliver in together into a small cage with one solid balcony and one solid ramp. Technically it may be too small for two rats, but we feel it's more important they have each other. They do seem happier when the other is around.
Later in the morning, they were asleep in different parts of the cage: Leather in the good room (a little wooden house) and Oliver in the guest bedroom, underneath the ramp :)

If you were here, I would give it to you.
I'm sure your two are much happier together anyway, no matter where they are.

I think you are right...the both seem happier being back together.
