~26~
Harry came back to the feel of his head reattaching to his body. Harry had no doubt the reattachment would have hurt like a bitch if the nerves weren't one of the last things to reform. It was when his eardrums popped back into place that he realized someone was talking off to the side.
"Kasuka…I…"
That was Shizuo. Harry turned his head as best as he could towards the sound while his body was still reattaching itself. Harry let out a sigh of relief when he realized Shizuo was just on the phone and not actually talking to Kasuka in person.
"It's my fault…he's dead."
Harry blinked rapidly. Uh oh. He willed his legs to reattach faster before getting up off the ground. He was starting to hear sirens in the distance and he really didn't want to stick around when they arrived. He walked up behind Shizuo and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Go away! Can't you see I'm on the-"
Shizuo's eyes were wide behind his glasses and if Harry wasn't mistaken he was sure he saw some wetness in those eyes. His own eyes widened.
"WHAT. THE. FUCK?!"
Shizuo jumped away from him in surprise and Harry had to hold in his laughter. This was a serious moment. Serious face Harry.
"Look, I'll explain later. But we need to get out of here before the ambulance arrives."
Harry walked up to Shizuo and snatched the phone out of his hand. The small sniffles he could here coming from the other side broke his heart in two.
"Hey."
He heard Kasuka gasp before a chocked sob came across.
"I'm not dead. So stop crying, okay?"
More sniffles.
"Harry…"
"Tell me where you are and I'll be right there."
"At…" Harry heard him hiccup. "…at your apartment. We had a date…"
"I'm going to hang up now. Traveling with the phone on will ruin it."
He heard a few more sniffles and a chocked 'Yes' before hanging up the phone and turning it off for good measure.
"Oi."
He turned back to Shizuo to find him staring at him uncomfortably. No doubt he felt kind of guilty about killing him.
"Worry about apologies later. Now hold still."
Harry grabbed onto his arm.
"What?"
He apparated just as the ambulance appeared around the corner.
A/N: Oh god the feels.
