What if you block one king being in check by putting another king in check?

In the position below, white is checkmated, because he can only move one king out of check. if he had a piece that could take the queen, he wouldn't be in checkmate.

And in this position, white is blacked.

What do I do in this position? I'm white.

A4 then A5, the kings can't escape fast enough.
