Narrative:

Air carrier X departed mco and requested 11000 ft to zqa. I issued 11000 ft and cleared X direct vrb. Aircraft Y was coordinated from R4 controller heading 090 degrees. Y checked on frequency and climbed to 15000 ft. I saw that X and Y were traffic for each other and were already on the land line with R20 about another topic, I coordinated Y at 10000 ft. I believed I had issued Y 10000 ft. I issued traffic to both aircraft as they converged. The traffic issued to X was '1 O'clock 7 mi eastbound climbing to 10000 ft. Traffic to Y was '9 O'clock 3 mi sebound at 11000 ft. Expect higher passing traffic. Both aircraft acknowledged the traffic call. Y continued climb through 10000 ft and I questioned his altitude. I turned X to the left 060 degree heading and Y right to a 180 degree heading to get separation. I also told Y to descend to 10000 ft.
