[It was weird enough for Kirk to wake up with a girl in his bed anyway, since usually he either left her behind in her bed or most times the girl left before she actually fell asleep there. But it was Shego and he didn't really have the energy to kick her out. They had been codependent when they weren't sleeping together so it was pretty much the same thing, right?
She woke him up when she left, though he didn't really have the mindset pulled together to do much besides pull his pillow closer and turn over onto his other side.
That it was actually Christmas went completely over his head. He never liked the holiday anyway.]
[By the time she was done in the shower, it had become apparent that she hadn't had enough sleep and her options were either to crawl back into bed for a couple hours or hit the gym and work up a bit of adrenaline to offset her exhaustion. The latter option had the more immediate appeal of not risking any serious conversation with Kirk, but on the other hand, it felt too much like work and it was Christmas.
She got back into bed as unobtrusively as possible, but he'd moved and she knew he was awake.]
Hey.
[Sorry if I bruised you at all last night? Maybe just let that go unsaid.]
"What, are you keeping score now? It didn't make a whole lot of sense to go over to my cabin just to use mine." She relaxed, tucking one hand under the pillow. "Just bill me at the end of the month or something."
"Yeah, it's Christmas." She almost asked if the flood hadn't been a clue, but he seemed intent on pretending it didn't happen and she wasn't enormously eager to contradict him. "For what little that means. You don't have any presents out there, so, I guess you weren't a good boy this year."
Okay, so maybe he'd shown up too late for anything specific but he didn't even have any of the generic stuff that some people seemed to give to everybody.
"And I graduated an Inmate and everything," Jim answered with a smirk. That was kind of weird that there was nothing. The past two Christmas he got toys and alcohol from just about everyone. "Guess I'll just have to accept whatever she has to offer me."
Jim laughed a little bit. This was essentially pretty weird, lying around making sex jokes with Shego and she wasn't actually threatening him bodily harm for doing it.
Really though. Getting offended about sex jokes mere hours after an incidence of actual sex would be hypocritical even beyond the fairly generous quantity of things Shego was prepared to be a hypocrite about.
"It's not like I've got anything left to lie to you about." Which was itself untrue, but whatever. "Not any more, anyway." She yawned.
"Not even a little bit. I just don't have any motivation to hide it from you, because....ehn, it's not like you can do a whole lot about it now." Another shrug. "For example? I had a syringe with enough nanomites to give me back my full powers for forty-eight hours. Hid that in my cabin for like a year."
She woke him up when she left, though he didn't really have the mindset pulled together to do much besides pull his pillow closer and turn over onto his other side.

"By the way. Happy Christmas." She shrugged with one shoulder. "I guess."

Falling back on sexual references because anything more involved is kind of terrifying? She learned it from watching you, Kirk.
