Neither of them want to live though. Shinobu is bored with her long life and wants to give it up for Araragi to be fully human again. Araragi is... Araragi. Of course he'd never let anyone die for him, and he's constantly wanting to die for others (it takes Senjougahara's threats of vengeance to snap him out of it). Their relationship is one in which they both sacrifice themselves for the other resulting in a situation where no one achieves what they want.

I guess you could say that what you need is different from what you want though.
