Similar charges repel,so they tend to stay as far away from each other as possible.The pairs form four electron clouds,two of which are where the hydrogen and oxygen share electrons.The repulsion between the unbonded pairs is even stronger than repulsion between the shared pairs,so the two hydrogens get pushed a little further to an angle of 104.5 degrees.
