Thank you❤️

this 😩

filip kostic x reader

You’re mine

“don’t” dusan said to filip as they were both watching you getting hit on by a guy.

“don’t what? that’s my girlfriend dusan” filip said clearly irritated.

you were simply ordering something to drink for you and the boys while some random guy decided to hit on you, even if you told him you had a boyfriend and that you weren’t interested, he couldn’t take no as an answer.

“she can handle herself” dusan said as he watched you talking with that guy. it was clear that you were uncomfortable but you were doing everything you could to shove that man away “plus it was you who decided to keep your relationship private” dusan remarked.

yes it was true, you both decided to keep your relationship private mostly because you didn’t want to be under the public eye and also because filip knew how much pressure you would be under of and he cared too much about you to do something like that.

“you know why dusan…it’s just…he can’t take a fucking no and it’s frustrating…” filip said, his eyes never leaving your body, ready and steady if something was going to happen.

you gently tried to shove that man away but he couldn’t take a no for answer and he was bragging about how good he would treat you and how good he would make you scream.

you said no once.

you said no twice.

at the third time you were ready to hit him in the face if he wouldn’t leave you alone.

“don’t be like that…” he grabbed your arm and pushed you into his body. you knew the bar was too crowded and even if you wanted to ask for help you knew that in a place full of drunk people you wouldn’t get much help.

“leave me alone…” you whispered, scared that something might have happened.

you thought filip couldn’t see you because of the crowd but his eyes never left you from the moment you went to order the drinks.

the moment he saw that man putting his hands on you he knew he had enough.

“shit…” dusan whispered seeing filip starting to walk over you.

“get your fucking hands off of her” filip said as he approached the man.

you couldn’t describe the man face in that moment. he was scared, but also surprised.

filip was very well known in torino so that man might have been a fan.

“oh…i didn’t know she was your - your girl” he said.

“yes she’s my girl” he remarked “and when a woman says no it’s no you fucking dumbass…no leave this freaking bar cause if i see you once again” filip started talking but you stopped him before things got out of control.

“it’s okay i’m okay” you whispered.

filips gave a very cold death stare at that man that was rushing his way out.

“that man shouldn’t have touched you…is that so hard to accept a no?” filip asked.

“is everyone okay?” dusan came after a few minutes to check on you both.

“yes…thank you” you said.

“should we get our drinks or…” dusan asked a bit uncomfortable for being the third wheel in that moment.

“sorry dusan but i really wanna go home now before i punch someone” filip said trying to keep his behaviour under control.

“no it’s fine don’t worry” dusan smiled, being very understanding about the situation and offering you his help.

“thank you” you smiled and hugged him.

“you’re my best friend’s girlfriend…meaning you’re my little sis…you don’t have to thank me” he said truthfully before you waved each other goodbye.

the tension during the whole car ride was pretty thick.

filip’s hand wouldn’t leave your thigh.

“thank you…” you broke the silence “for helping me out…i said that man no a thousand times but he was too deaf apparently” you said.

“you have nothing to say sorry for…i’m glad you’re okay, i wanted to punch him so bad…” he said and you smiled.

“you’re mine baby…no one else’s, just mine” he said as you felt his hand stroking your thigh and going towards your clothed center, knowing it was going to be a very long and exciting night.

Frankfurt 0-0 Arsenal LIVE: Score, Unai Emery makes SEVEN Europa League changes | Football | Sport

FRANKFURT 0-0 ARSENAL

Frankfurt XI: Trapp, Abraham, Hasebe, Hinteregger, Da Costa, Kamada, Kohr, Sow, Kostic, Silva, Dost

Arsenal XI: Martinez, Chambers, Luiz, Mustafi, Kolasinac, Torreira, Xhaka, Willock, Smith Rowe, Saka, Aubameyang

Unai Emery makes even changes from Watford draw

FRANKFURT 0-0 ARSENAL

30: Chance! Great counter-attacking football from Arsenal with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang driving down the left channel. He clips the ball over to the advancing Joe Willock, who loses composure and leathers it high.

27: I don’t want to use David Luiz as a punching bag – but he’s looking vulnerable. The centre-back completely misjudges the flight of a Frankfurt corner – allowing Hinteregger to chest it down and leather one at goal. Blocked.

24: Arsenal are creaking now as Frankfurt continue to boss things here. Emiliano Martinez keeps Arsenal in it when making a fine save from Filip Kostic, who struck a firm effort having beaten Calum Chambers for the umpteenth time today.

Frankfurt vs Arsenal LIVE: Europa League score, goals, highlights and updates (Image: GETTY)

21: Chance! Frankfurt should have the lead. Kostic strolls in down the left and angles his run towards goal only to fire high and wide. Andre Silva then sits Calum Chambers on his backside with a nifty turn before winning the corner. This place is going mad, just imagine if they actually scored!

18: Injury concern for Arsenal with Lucas Torreira in agony. He strides to meet a through pass from Saka and looks to have twisted his ankle when jumping over goalkeeper Trapp. Fallen very awkwardly.

He’s getting booed by the Frankfurt supporters, who aren’t exactly sympathetic. Oh… he’s fine. Miraculous recovery…

15: Frankfurt get away with one as Sow gifts the ball to Saka in midfield. The teenager runs at goal but delays the pass to Aubameyang, who can’t find a way past Hasebe. Good opening not taken advantage of.

13: Silva has a pop from distance having been afforded far too much space by David Luiz. The striker doesn’t need a second invitation to fire wide of the target.

Hinteregger earns an early booking for tugging back Chambers. Silly.

10: How’s that for a stat. Half of Arsenal’s starting XI have played in the Bundesliga. Don’t ask me to go through them all – it’ll take me far too long.

I also can’t hear myself think with these Frankfurt supporters. They haven’t stopped signing since about 5pm. I wonder if they offer a discount to anyone sitting behind one of the nine giant flags they are holding…

Frankfurt vs Arsenal LIVE: Europa League score, goals, highlights and updates (Image: GETTY)

7: Slow-burner? Did I really say that?! Well things have burst into light now as Lucas Torreira squanders an absolute sitter.

Bukayo Saka sends a delightful cross in from the left to an unmarked Torreira, who arrives to balloon it miles into the stands from five-yards out. Should be 1-0 to the Arsenal.

5: First shot of the evening falls to Djibril Sow. He arrives on the edge of the area to crack a first-time effort straight at Emiliano Martinez.

3: How have things started? Very slowly indeed. Lots of huff, puff and tackling – not much fluency, chances or even completed passing. We’ll call it a slow-burner.

FRANKFURT 0-0 ARSENAL

1: Right then, the long and winding road to the Europa League final starts now. It’s a hard journey – but it’s worth it. Just ask Chelsea, who lost at home to Valencia… OK, that didn’t work, but you know what I mean.

Frankfurt vs Arsenal LIVE: Europa League score, goals, highlights and updates (Image: GETTY)

Europa is massive for Arsenal

17:50: BT Sport pundit Owen Hargreaves: “I think the Europa League is massive for both of them [Manchester United and Arsenal]. They’ve fallen behind Manchester City and Liverpool, they have.

“The fact of the matter is this competition I think for both teams is, in a way, must win. I don’t see either of them finishing in the top four the way they’re currently playing. So I think the best way to get in there is this competition.

“I think for Arsenal, with all the players they have, can they find a way to win this competition? They probably have one of the best squads in the competition.”

Frankfurt vs Arsenal LIVE: Europa League score, goals, highlights and updates (Image: GETTY)

Frankfurt fans…

17:40: Not much to write in this update, other than these Frankfurt supporters are completely committed and certifiably insane.

A quick Google search led to hundreds of videos of supporters shaking stadiums, taking 12,000 fans away for a group stage game against Bordeaux and removing seats in protest of not being able to stand.

To say a hostile atmosphere is expected inside the 51,500 capacity Commerzbank-Arena would be an understatement.

Twitter round-up

Ally: Wow Aubameyang starts this match after playing for 90 mins in all our games. Meanwhile, Ozil is rested after just playing 70 mins.

Dan: Ozil being rested is a terrible decision. If anything the man needs more minuets. Definitely not match fit and we won’t see the best of him until he gets back into the swing of things.

Ire: Betting companies need to have an option to bet on Ozil getting “rested”… Cuz based on the last 2 seasons, that’s a pot of gold.

I suspect that’s why they don’t have a market for that, Ire…

Frankfurt vs Arsenal LIVE: Europa League score, goals, highlights and updates (Image: GETTY)

Ozil rested…

17:25: Yep, one 70-minute appearance and Mesut Ozil deserves a rest. Sounds about right.

The German playmaker made his first appearance of the season against Watford on Sunday. The 30-year-old missed the start of the season after being targeted by carjackers and because of illness.

“Really the first match he played on Sunday, he played well and was good physically,” Emery said.

“Now he is ready to help us, not tomorrow but on Sunday – we are going to play another match and tomorrow we are thinking to do some rotation.”

Predictions

17:15: Frankfurt have a fun game on their Twitter feed. The randomly generated scorelines stop when you click on it – revealing your prediction.

Mine, as you can see, says it’ll be 5-4 in favour of Arsenal tonight. Just checked and it’s 200/1 on Betfair. Easy money I reckon.

Another tweet Frankfurt sent out read: “Dear Arsenal fans, a warm welcome to the Frankfurt City Forest for the first group match of the 2019/20 Europa League campaign. We are very pleased to be able to greet you in our wonderful stadium. Let’s enjoy an exciting and fair European cup tie together!”

Awwww, aren’t they nice.

Elsewhere…

17:10: Arsenal aren’t the only British representative in action this evening – not by a long shot.

Celtic are also in the strange, silly and unnecessary 5:55pm slot. Neil Lennon’s side travel to France for a tricky clash with Rennes.

Later tonight Manchester United welcome Astana to Old Trafford, Feyenoord travel to Steven Gerrard’s Rangers and Wolves host Braga.

Frankfurt vs Arsenal LIVE: Europa League score, goals, highlights and updates (Image: GETTY)

Twitter round-up

James: Shkodran Mustafi x David Luiz is the most ambitious crossover event in history.

Boom: David Luiz and Shkodran Mustafi paired together for a Europa Group Stage match away at Frankfurt. What could possibly go wrong?

Jack: Shkodran Mustafi, David Luiz AND Calum Chambers. Sounds like Unai Emery wants a sweet payoff and few months off.

We’re one Mike Dean officiating away from complete and utter comedy tonight.

Team news – Frankfurt

16:50: I’ve no idea how many changes Frankfurt have made – but I know there’s no sign of Luka Jovic, Ante Rebic or Sebastien Haller.

All three of last season’s heroes have been sold to Real Madrid, AC Milan and West Ham for well over £100million.

There’s still more than a couple of threatening players in Frankfurt’s ranks with Bast Dost, Andre Silva and Filip Kostic all starting.

Frankfurt XI: Trapp, Abraham, Hasebe, Hinteregger, Da Costa, Kamada, Kohr, Sow, Kostic, Silva, Dost.

Subs: Ronnow, N’Dicka, Falette, Fernandes, Joveljic, Chandler, Paciencia.

Frankfurt vs Arsenal LIVE: Europa League score, goals, highlights and updates (Image: GETTY)

Team news – Arsenal

16:45: Unai Emery has made seven changes from the trip to Vicarage Road.

The four survivors are Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Granit Xhaka, Sead Kolasinac and David Luiz, the latter presumably a punishment for conceding that late penalty.

Elsewhere Emiliano Martinez starts between the sticks with Calum Chambers at right-back with Shkodran Mustafi partnering Luiz in the middle.

There’s starts for youngsters Joe Willock, Emile Smith Rowe and someone I’ve been hugely impressed with – Bukayo Saka.

Frankfurt vs Arsenal LIVE: Europa League score, goals, highlights and updates (Image: GETTY)

Starting XI…

16:40: Well… Unai Emery has certainly made changes from the side who drew with Watford on Sunday. What a game that was… for the neutral.

Arsenal XI: Martinez, Chambers, Luiz, Mustafi, Kolasinac, Torreira, Xhaka, Willock, Smith Rowe, Saka, Aubameyang.

Subs: Leno, Ceballos, Maitland-Niles, Pepe, Nelson, Guendouzi, Martinelli.

Afternoon

16:35: The return of Thursday evening football… how I’ve missed you.

That’s right, folks. Europa League action returns to our screens with an unusually exciting opener. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Usually it’s someone like Astana, Qarabag or Ludogorets – but tonight Arsenal must travel to Bundesliga outfit Frankfurt.

Frankfurt’s Commerzbank-Arena is an absolute cauldron. I remember last season against Chelsea they had flares, terrifying flags and even dismantled the seats.

This will not be a walk in the park.

Could I request a fic about reader’s first time with Filip Kostic? Like they’re partying and end up having sex in any random place (maybe bathroom, even backstreet? Idk)

Love your fics. KEEP IT UP🕺🏻

not the bathroom as their first time 😩

smut!!

filip kostic x reader

First time

“I think we should get out of here” Filip whispered in your ears, sending a shiver down to your spine. You were currently pressed against his body while his hands were around your waist. It was a normal friday night for the two of you, when he didn’t have any match he loved having fun in some clubs and once in a while he dragged you along with him. But you didn’t realise how quickly that club got full of people and now you were stuck in between Filip’s chest and someone else body. It felt like air was missing and you signed him that you wanted to get out. He took your hands and gently led you out of the club. You continued bumping into people and it didn’t matter how many time you apologised they wouldn’t listen to you, too focused on getting drunk and dancing to shameless music.

You finally made it out of the club and once you were out Filip hands went back to you waist, pushing you against a wall while he started kissing you.

“What are you doing?” you whispered against his lips.

“Isn’t it clear?” he smirked at you once he pressed his boner against you, making you feel how hard he was.

“Not here…” you laughed “people could see us” you said but he had already started kissing your neck making you moan a little.

“Filip please…I need you but no here” you said and he looked straight into your eyes seeing how much you were turned on.

“Follow me…” he grabbed your hand leading you towards his car. He opened the door and you jumped inside of it. His driving was fast, impatient to get back home. His hand was on your thigh, caressing it and teasing you, his fingers ghosting over where you needed him the most but never touching it. You felt wetness between your legs and you couldn’t wait to go home. You’ve never had sex with Filip and you were quite nervous but at the same time you couldn’t even think straight from how horny you were.

Once you reached home he pushed you against the front door and began to remove your clothes. He kinda sensed your insecurity so he wanted to make sure you were okay.

“Is it okay baby?” he asked you and you nodded “I need words baby”.

“Yes…just be gentle” you reminded him, used by his somehow gentle but rough ways of handling things.

“Of course baby, of course” he soften watching your expression, his hands back on your waist holding you closer to his chest.

He led you towards the bedroom, wanting to make you feel comfortable and safe with him. You laid on the bed with him overpowering you, he removed your panties and bra, remaining completely naked under his gaze. He was quick to remove his own clothes just to remain naked over you. You admired his beauty, he looked like a greek god standing there over you. He began kissing your body, your breast, spending time in licking your nipples making them hard and sensitive. He lowered his face to your cunt and began kissing it, his eyes never leaving your face making sure you were comfortable with what he was doing. His tongue touched your clit while he slightly pushed one of his fingers into you to stretch you out. You left soft moans and Filip took it as a sign to continue what he was doing. His tongue still attached to your clit and his finger pumping in and out of you were enough to make you cum hard. He waited a few minutes so you could recover from the post orgasm and steady your breathing once again when he lined up with your entrance and slowly pushing inside of you, making you feel inch by inch.

“Fuck…” you moaned feeling completely full by his length.

“You okay?” he asked making sure you wanted him to continue.

“Yes…yes, just move please” you begged him. He laughed a bit and started thrusting in you at a slow but very deep pace, making sure to hit all of the right spots inside of you. You were already so sensitive from the previous orgasm that you it took you only a few minutes to finish.

“Filip…” you moaned “Filip fuck…I’m-“ you said not being able to finish your sentence.

“Shhh…I know baby, just let go for me…you’re doing so good my love” he praised you and you couldn’t hold back. You came with a loud moan, almost too pornographic but you didn’t care if the neighbours heard you. Filip lost it completely when you clenched around him and he came spilling right inside of you.

He laid next to you holding you close, his hands in your hair while your head was on his chest.

“You did so good for me baby” he praised you again and you blushed a bit, still too tired to even reply.

You fell asleep in his arms, listening to his heartbeat and that was the best lullaby ever.

Hi! Can I request a Kostic imagine in which he takes care of the reader bc shes sick? Thank youuu

filip kostic x reader

Taking care of you

You knew you should have listened to your mother when she told you to always dry your hair before going outside but you thought that a little quick trip to the post office wouldn’t do any wrong to you. So you got out of the shower, you dressed up with some random clothes and left your hair wet as you went to the post office near your apartment. It was only a three minute walk so what could have gone wrong? Nothing, you thought. The moment you came back home you were feeling completely fine, laughing thinking about your mom recommendations because you would get sick but you were all snuggled on the couch watching netflix while waiting for your boyfriend Filip to come back home from training. After he came home you both ate together and talked about your day and then ended up cuddling in your bed. He told you that he would have the next day off so you were both planning something to do, maybe exploring around the city or some shopping or staying at home and watching movies all day, those moments were rare so you wanted to enjoy the most out of it.

“Goodnight” he whispered in your ear before you fell asleep in his arms.

You don’t exactly remember what you were dreaming but it was something good. But nothing could have prepared you for what came in the morning.

You woke up around 6 am shivering and feeling all cold. You were still in Filip’s arms that were keeping you warm but you felt like it wasn’t enough. Maybe because Torino during winter time was really cold, especially in the morning so you thought it was the weather, that maybe it was raining or snowing. So you tried to fell back asleep and somehow you managed it. You woke up again around 9 am, you slept three hours more but you felt exhausted. Filip woke up right after you and kissed your cheek but worriedly looked at you when he felt your cheek heating up.

“My love you’re boiling, are you okay?” he asked softly but your throat hurt so much you couldn’t even speak so you simply shook your head no.

“Baby…you’re shivering” he said trying to cover you a bit more with your blanket.

If only you listened to your mother.

“My head hurt so much…” you whispered, not being able to open your eyes because they were burning up.

“You’re sick honey, you definitely have high fever…stay in bed I’m going to make you some hot tea for your throat okay?” he said leaving the bedroom and going straight to the kitchen to make you some tea and something to eat.

When he came back he found you shivering from the cold so he gave you the hot tea and he came back in bed with you, wanting to cuddle you and keep you warm.

“You’ll get sick too” you whispered him.

“I don’t care, as long as we’re sick together it’s fine with me” he told you kissing your forehead.

“Filip…” you called him “it’s my fault…I should have listened to my mom when she told me to not go outside with wet hair…” you said in a low voice.

He laughed, too in love with your cuteness, especially when you were sick you tend to act more like a child, always wanting attentions and being clingy all the time and, it was hard to admit, but he loved when you were sick so he could take care of you.

“It’s okay baby…I’m here” he held you closer “I’ll take care of you okay? Go back to sleep now” he whispered slowly massaging your back.

You felt tired and even if it was almost ten in the morning you fell asleep in a few minutes, finding comfort in Filip’s arms.
