It really was a wonderful thought, to be able to go to sleep next to Bones whenever he liked, to wake up next to him the following morning. And it wasn't even about sex— well, not entirely. Jim would be lying if he said he wasn't interested in that too, but it was the thought of simply being close to Bones that he cherished the most.
As for the careless and nonchalant humor, well... that was Jim's own special way of dealing with some things. He never really minded making jokes at his own expense anyway, even if he had a feeling it bothered Bones sometimes. There just was no reason for it to.
"Alright. Come on." Smiling, he crawled backwards, standing up and taking hold of Bones's hands so he could help him onto his feet too. Once they were both standing, he made his way to the replicator, getting a damp cloth so Bones could wash his face a little better. More than that would have to wait until they were in either of their rooms and Bones could make use of the bathroom, but at least this should be enough for him not to draw too much attention to himself on the way there.
