3 relationships within each others for subscription

I have hashtags and users can subscribe them. here is what I did for subscription:

function hashtag(){
    return $this->belongsToMany('App\Hashtag');
}

And also there is user relationship in Subscription Model:

function user(){
    return $this->belongsToMany('App\User');
}

The user Model has subscribes which is supposed to give me the hashtags that the Authed user subscribes. Here it is:

function subscribes(){
    return $this->hasMany('App\Subscription');
}

Now with this code I tried to access the hashtags the Authed user subscribes here is the view code:

@foreach(Auth::user()->subscribes->hashtag as $tags)
    
@endforeach

What I think is that, laravel expects a relationship table here, called hashtag_subscription or something like that. Now I got a bit confused with these relationships. I highy prefer to get around this withput creating extra table, I feel like I can accomplish it without an extra table.

Tables are as following:user, hashtag, subscription
Models: Hashtag, Subscription, User
