It's not necessarily that Castiel is angry with him - Dean might not be being particularly gentle, but he certainly isn't wrong. The truth of the matter is, though, that Castiel is hardly any better at making friends and being close with others than Dean is himself. He's always been reclusive, quiet and awkward and easily pushed around, and while he's come into himself a great deal over the years, a part of him will always be that shy, clumsy boy who doesn't know how to make friends with others, who doesn't know how to properly connect with people.
So he certainly doesn't know how to connect with Dean, and has no real desire to. He doesn't know there's any hidden agenda here, doesn't know that Dean actually wants him around, to get to know him; he's a prisoner, after all, it's absurd to think that they could be friends, that Dean would even want to try. It's the very furthest thing from his mind, a thought that does not even occur to him.
It's best, then, that they simply keep apart, isn't it? That they exist separately from one another. Castiel is still too overwhelmed to even know where he wants to go from here. For now, though, he's closed off, shut tight and protectively, and once he's dismissed he's quick to turn and slink back off to his tower rooms where he can bury himself in welcome silence.
