Narrative:
ZME had the handoff on the air carrier Y at FL320 while flashing air carrier X climbing to FL330. I was extremely busy handling cvg inbound push while performing a military split vp. I returned my scan to this area and realized the two were too close. Without the conflict alert activating; I issued 40 degree turns on both aircraft until they crossed.
