Narrative:

While working several departure aircraft from cleveland westbound on one of two SID's; I was also getting information about an unauthorized laser event. The egress fixes from cle airspace are fairly close together and west of the airfield. I had inadvertently left one of the brunz aircraft on its tower-assigned heading rather than assigning a fix to join the SID. The heading took aircraft X slightly north of brunz with another aircraft; aircraft Y; over huddz at the same altitude.
