Styling a checkbox without the label tag

I made a checkbox style and it uses the label tag. See below

<label class="control control--checkbox">
    <input type="checkbox"/>
    <div class="control__indicator"></div>
</label>

Is it possible to still have the CSS of the entire checkbox without the label tag? So i just have the Input tag, but still the CSS. Here is the CSS of the checkbox.

.control {
font-size: 18px;
position: relative;
display: block;
margin-bottom: 15px;
padding-left: 30px;
cursor: pointer;
}

.control input {
position: absolute;
z-index: -1;
opacity: 0;
}

.control__indicator {
position: absolute;
top: 2px;
left: 0;
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
background: #e6e6e6;
}

.control--radio .control__indicator {
border-radius: 50%;
}

.control:hover input ~ .control__indicator,
.control input:focus ~ .control__indicator {
background: #ccc;
}

.control input:checked ~ .control__indicator {
background: orange;
}

.control:hover input:not([disabled]):checked ~ .control__indicator,
.control input:checked:focus ~ .control__indicator {
background: #ecb53a;
}

.control input:disabled ~ .control__indicator {
pointer-events: none;
opacity: .6;
background: #e6e6e6;
}

.control__indicator:after {
position: absolute;
display: none;
content: '';
}

.control input:checked ~ .control__indicator:after {
display: block;
}

.control--checkbox .control__indicator:after {
top: 4px;
left: 8px;
width: 3px;
height: 8px;
transform: rotate(45deg);
border: solid black;
border-width: 0 2px 2px 0;
}

I hope you guys can help me out.
