Angel : Relationships

Thing

Adrien and Angel have been friends since childhood, having initially met in their adolescent ballet classes. The two almost never got along when paired together during practices, but they eventually grew to like each other as time progressed. They dated without problem through their teenage years, but in early adulthood as Adrien's health started to deteriorate, their relationship took a turn. Adrien's fear of burdening Angel caused her to mistreat him in an attempt to push him away, and it was around this time when she accidentally caused his career-ending injury. Despite that, Angel stayed with Adrien, understanding that her behavior stemmed from her fear of death, and even accepted Adrien's decision to bring a third person, Dominique, into their relationship. He was not too fond of that open relationship and eventually broke up with Adrien because of it. In Angel's absence, Adrien started to realize how much she had taken Angel's companionship for granted. Eventually, with some soul searching, Adrien learned to appreaciate all of the things Angel had ever done for her. And in her final days, it was Angel who was there for her.

Something

The two met through Adrien. They are very cordial with one another, and from what Cassius has seen, he initially thinks Angel is a good match for Adrien; that his patience with her is commendable. During Adrien and Angel's multiple breakups, Cassius tries to be mediator, but eventually realizes that their dynamic may be somewhat unhealthy. Cassius feels increasingly bad for Angel as their relationship progresses, but doesn't want to overstep his boundaries to advise Angel to leave and put himself first when there's a possibility that Adrien couldn't handle Angel abandoning her.
