Is there any way to charge the Surface Slim Pen 2 without additional accessories??

I feel like a moron. I bought the Slim Pen 2 with the Surface keyboard. No I don't own a Surface Pro 8/X but buying the combo was cheaper than buying the pen on its own. I shouldve researched but I thought it charged just by slapping it onto the side a-la Apple Pencil 2. Looking at the MS site it seems I need the pen cover which is out of stock everywhere in NA unless I buy from a scalper on ebay?? That seems insane just to charge the damn thing. Anyone have any tips? I don't want to return it since I need the stylus to take notes and I don't want to buy a Pro 8/X just to charge this lol.
