Everyone knows her as the face of Overwatch, so when she meets you who only knows her from a medical professional standpoint, it's a breath of fresh air.
You work in the research part of the hospital she goes to when Overwatch disbands, and Angela finds herself in your office whenever she has a free moment.
Angela's stops during the day turn into late night takeout dinners while she looks over your research, which eventually turns to chatting.
Things change a little when the two of you wake up curled around each other on your couch. Angela wakes up first, but is comfortable enough that all she does is turn her head towards you and holds you tighter.
Both of you are bad at dating, but you definitely still try. A lot of rescheduled dates, but you still get out together.
Angela is a bed hog for sure, so just know that it's not 50/50, but rather 75/25 with the option to cuddle with her if you get in on the right moment.
Angela isn't much of a cuddler outside of bed, but she is big on kissing, and often kisses you whenever she can, including at the hospital sometimes.
Angela doesn't cook a lot, so she's very appreciative whenever you do. It's been a long time since she's regularly had a nice home-cooked meal, so she's always very enthusiastically grateful to show you how much she appreciates your cooking.
Angela prides herself on being able to keep her calm, but you know that it's just thinly veiled anger that comes out as aggressive politeness at the best of times. Sometimes that gets the better of her, and Angela will start picking fights with you at home.
It's never come to blows, but Angela has a habit of saying things that have you avoiding each other for days at a time, if not weeks.
At first, Angela tries for the bullshit, "somehow this is actually still your fault even though I'm in the wrong" apologies, but you let her know quickly that would not fly in the relationship.
You try to remember when Angela's schedule is busy and the stress that brings to avoid getting in arguments with her because you're terrified of breaking up over something stupid, but you know it'll be something mundane that does you both in.
Angela doesn't do much housework throughout the week, so the two of you have a designated deep clean day and a specific list of chores that you're both better suited for. Angela tends to leave you more of the heavy lifting stuff, but she does a lot more of the smaller stuff and is uaually busy longer.
