When adult cats live together, there are often little mini disputes about territory and ownership of things. Also with bengals there are a lot of moments where one wants to play and the other does not. Mine have these same sorts of "moments". So I think it's something that you have to constantly monitor and evaluate as to whether it is becoming, or has become a problem. It's a perfectly normal thing for one cat to want to play, or want to sleep, or whatever, and the other to approach and try to share the space or start up a game, and then get denied by a paw to the face, and a hiss and/or growl. But what you don't want is for the two cats to start having more and more negative encounters to the point where they start to dislike one another, or associate each other with strictly negative things. So to counteract that, you may need to step in from time to time, stave off hostilities, reassure each cat that each is still equally loved, and then work to build back up some more positive associations between the two cats, with things like treats while they are together, or fun games while they are together, or adjacent "special" sleeping spots on a bed or window sill or whatever is highly desirable to them.
Things like that. It sounds to me from what you've said that things are fine between them right now, but I think continually assessing how they are doing together, and making little adjustments as needed is a good thing.
