The redhead was reading a magazine when they brought in his roommate. Without looking up, he said "My name's Axel. Got it…" Before he finished, he looked up.
"Roxas? Is that really you?" he asked. The blond looked over, a faint grin on his face.
"Never expected to see me, did you?"
"Not here, of all places."
"So, Ax, what's wrong with you?"
"Familial Fatal Insomnia. You, Rox?"
"Brain tumor. Inoperable. How long?
"Five years tops. You?"
"About the same."
"Race you there?"
This caught Roxas off guard. He gave the redhead a curious look, causing him to laugh.
"I'll race you to the end."
Roxas thought Axel was joking, but the look in his eye said he was serious.
"Alright, but only if you promise me one thing."
"What's that?"
"That you'll outlive me. I promise to outlive you, too."
"Rox… you know that's impossible… But I promise."
Within a few days, both were cleared to go home, as staying in the hospital would accomplish nothing. Roxas had always been able to get Axel to cave to his wishes, so the two went to Roxas's loft apartment, to race to the end.
A/N- Finaly! I have a story with my favarite House and Princess Bride quotes. House's is when 13 tells her girlfriend "I'll race you" since they both have about 10 years and Princess Bride is when Buttercup tells Westly they need to promise each other to outlive the other, then they can never die.
