It's already been established that this Dean is prone to outbursts. Granted, the present Dean can also lose his temper if the right buttons are pressed, but it's in a different way. This future Dean is downright cruel with the things he has to say, and while Castiel isn't one to be damaged too much by words, that's not necessarily the case when it's coming from someone he holds in such high regard.
He listens to the entire tirade with his jaw clenched, refusing to break eye contact this time out of pure pride. Maybe he doesn't understand. Maybe Dean's right, because when it comes down to it he has no concept of what Dean's been through in the past five years.
But a true friend wouldn't simply leave it at that. A true friend would stay here even while being verbally thrashed, and so that's what Castiel's going to do.
"I can help," he says a few painfully long moments after Dean fell quiet. Castiel finally shifts his gaze to look around him. "With this. With your plan."
