Why are there two boys delivering the paper? That's usually a one-boy job.

IMHO: The boys are obviously a couple.

"I think if they could, they would take
each other's arm."

The boys are happy because they are sharing a morning walk, in the relative privacy of a still dark, early morning.

The speaker is experiencing an unexpected moment of happiness as he sees their happiness in conjunction with the sunrise. IOW: He is sharing in their joy without judgement or condemnation. The boys being lovers is as natural to him, and as beautiful, as any other part of nature.

Happiness sneaks up on him whenever he recognizes life's beautiful moments.

They aren't actually delivering the newspaper. They have just killed the boy who had the route and are heading home.

That's a possibility, but we thought that they were in a gang and had just been made.

And that they are now official members of the gang, having killed the kid who had the newspaper route. They may sell the newspapers downtown.

Don't you think that it's possible that he is experiencing happiness because he remembers when he first murdered someone? He is glad that the tradition is being carried on. That they are lovers is secondary to the observation that they are now fellow killers.

Death in the morning, death in the afternoon. Olé.
