someone you loved.

HUNT: Thanks, Mason. really.

HUNT: I don't even know what I was expecting, really. Just... wasn't that.

MASE: It's... it's a rough situation. Because in a way I feel for you both, because I get it.

MASE: What's important to know though, is that you're not shallow and you are for than your awesome looks.

HUNT: I don't even know what to say, I told him that I said my piece and when he's ready to talk he knows where to find me.

HUNT: I Don't even know. I'm kind of a mess.

MASE: I can only imagine. I'm here for you though, whatever you need.

HUNT: Kind of had it out with Blaine... and he kept just saying that he didn't call me shallow, and then kinda made it about him.

HUNT: And like... I don't even know what to think right now.

MASE: That's... that's a big yikes. I'm sorry, babe, you definitely didn't deserve that at all.

HUNT: Hey... Mase...

HUNT: You awake?

[PM]: Hmm, I’ll think about it, okay? I know we should talk, but, honestly… I don’t know if I’m ready to have that talk with Blaine. 

Yeah. I couldn’t be out in high school, or college, but I’ve known for a long time that I’m bi. It’s taken me a long time to get to a point of confidence in that, and now that I’m finally there I feel so damn free. It’s amazing.

Thanks, Mase. I don’t actively talk to him, or Morgan. They’re… a little bit much for me, honestly. They remind me too much of the people I grew up with, and I do not need those kind of people harshing the mellow that I’ve finally started to achieve. 

It’s… honestly really nice to have that. It means a lot to me. 

📣

[PM]: For sure, talking is always on your own term - unless he comes to you first. Then you may need to make that decision stat.

Yikes, I’m sorry about having to live life like that honestly. I guess I got lucky because my parents didn’t care nor were around enough to care. The only person who cared about my dating life was Madison. But hey, you’re finally where you gotta be and that’s freaking awesome! Now you get to be who you wanna be.

Totes valid. I love my family. But eh. I’m not asking you to hang with them anyway, I hardly hang with them. Except Madison, she may be someone you’ll eventually wanna meet. She’s the best! 

[PM]: He’s known me for like 13 years… you’d think that he’d know me better than that. It just hurts that my best friend thinks of me that way. 

Honestly, confidence is insanely attractive, and I think now that I’m being more confident in myself than I was before, I find people without confidence to be… less and less attractive. Which, I think is helping me work through and get over my feelings for Blaine. Not living with him is also helping with that. 

Yeah, I think the only good thing my parents gave me was my looks. And my drive. Out of your brothers… I think you’re the best looking, and have the best personality, and I thought that before we started having fun. Distraction, a friend… apparently a date to things. It’s nice to have someone else I can be myself around. 

📣

[PM]: I still think sitting down and having a talk about it is a great option. It may not be the ideal one but you can’t really expect things to settle and grow without that honesty.

Cool. I get in high school confidence was rough, but as adults we kinda learn that no one really gives too much of a crap anymore. As long as you’re finding yourself in a place that works best for you, Hunt, that’s what matters.

🏈

[PM]: I don’t think he meant it in a hurtful way, no. Blaine never does. But the fact that he thinks that I’m that kind of person hurts. I am not a shallow person. I didn’t even really date when we were teenagers, I was more focused on school, lacrosse, and ROTC, prepping for the military. I dated Lily-Jane for a minute, but that was to appease my parents, not because I actually enjoyed her, or her company. I don’t know. It’s not like I wasn’t obvious. I tried cooking for him, I brought home flowers when we were living together. I’d compliment him, hit on him. Hell, I’d walk around in just my Saxx just to try and get his attention. Nothing seemed to work. 

Plus, I got your attention, and I have to admit… your confidence is really sexy, and it’s definitely helping me take my mind off everything.

📣

[PM]:  I think unfortunately a lot of people have these set thoughts on stereotypes that even if you know those stereotypes aren’t true you kinda just... still say things. Especially when hounded for information. Not to say that Blaine is right with what he did, because it wasn’t. Every guy is different, I guess. Maybe he’s more of a lowkey kinda guy. I’ve dated guys like that before, didn’t mesh well because I’m not lowkey. 

I think in a way yes?  I feel like things maybe balance out kind of equal though.  You and Madison had Sue and she was kind of on another level herself.  So this squad has you, who I suspect is perhaps more chill than Sue, which is totally not a bad thing.  So then perhaps to you that makes the squad seem more dedicated.  Does that make sense?

📣

Sue was absolutely wild when Mads and I were actually on the squad. Freakin’ crazy. But I think that’s what made us better despite the fact she was wild. 

Dedication is often a great thing.  Congrats and good luck with your championship year.  I’m sure you have it completely under control but if you ever need a hand or someone to work with any of your squad on any acro aspects, I’d be willing to volunteer some time.  

📣

Thanks, Leo. The only thing the McCarthy family knows is dedication so that’s why we are always the best and strive to be even better than that. Anyways, I’m sure that’ll be totes fine. I’ll run it by Sue but since the reigns are in my hands I say yes.

Some people can be crazy when they really want something, you know? But that’s just how people are these days. Hopefully there’ll be some winners, that would be great to see!

If awesome means being total loudmouth bothers then sure, totes awesome. As opposed to them winning… any other year because Sue Sylvester is a nine time consecutive winning cheer coach?

📣

Don’t you just get tired of hating literally everyone? Fair except for the fact that Sue is definitely older now and really not in her prime anymore. Plus I think she’s got other stuff to focus on.

I’ve heard some stories, and I’m not entirely sure how many of them are actually true – but even if it’s a small fraction, “dedicated” sounds like a pretty massive understatement. Good luck with competitions, at least?

📣

Most stories about the Cheerios are defs true. Especially when Coach Sue was more on top of the squad as she is now. She would do some wild things that involved cannons. I’m definitely a bit more chill then she is, but I expect the team to get to greatness. But thanks! I think it’ll go super fantastic.

[PM]: Hey, Mase. Thanks for checking in. Um… honestly, the anon message itself isn’t what hurt. It was the fact that Blaine just publicly called me shallow. The fact he outright assumed that because of how I look I could never possibly be interested in him. He’s my best friend, my longest friend, and yet… this is what he thinks of me? This is almost worse than being inadvertently outed by Bas. 

📣

[PM] I saw... that’s... that’s kinda, it’s rough. I think he may have meant it in a not hurtful way, as in you’re just so handsome and amazing that you wouldn’t give him a second glance. But also, we’re all adults so it’s not like we’re the same people we were in school when those thoughts would be something that were more prominent. My recommendation? Talking to him. Especially if you’ve got feelings for him, which seems like that may have been the case. What’s the worst that could happen, Hunt? 

[PM]: Hey... not to totally pry, but are you good? I’d imagine shitty messages like that aren’t... the most ideal.
