Can two drakes live together with no females?

It's been my experience that she will get a lot of attention. I would get more females if I could. She'll get mated with a lot. They say it's good to have 4 females for every male. I don't know how aggressive the males will be toward each other, but they might bully each other some., So I say Yes, they can live together, but it may not always be peaceful.

Many pairs of male ducks get along just fine especially if there are no girls. Big advantages include - quieter, no egg health issues.

I want to add that two in particular that I know of - Marwan's ducks - are very very active. I think boredom is one predictor of behavior problems with my Beanie boy.
